Abstract
Hyperinsulinemia (HI) is elevated plasma insulin at basal glucose. Impaired glucose tolerance is associated with HI, although the exact cause and effect relationship remains poorly defined. We tested the hypothesis that HI can result from an intrinsic response of the β-cell to chronic exposure to excess nutrients, involving a shift in the concentration dependence of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. INS-1 (832/13) cells were cultured in either a physiological (4 mm) or high (11 mm) glucose concentration with or without concomitant exposure to oleate. Isolated rat islets were also cultured with or without oleate. A clear hypersensitivity to submaximal glucose concentrations was evident in INS-1 cells cultured in excess nutrients such that the 25% of maximal (S0.25) glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was significantly reduced in cells cultured in 11 mm glucose (S0.25 = 3.5 mm) and 4 mm glucose with oleate (S0.25 = 4.5 mm) compared with 4 mm glucose alone (S0.25 = 5.7 mm). The magnitude of the left shift was linearly correlated with intracellular lipid stores in INS-1 cells (r(2) = 0.97). We observed no significant differences in the dose responses for glucose stimulation of respiration, NAD(P)H autofluorescence, or Ca(2+) responses between left- and right-shifted β-cells. However, a left shift in the sensitivity of exocytosis to Ca(2+) was documented in permeabilized INS-1 cells cultured in 11 versus 4 mm glucose (S0.25 = 1.1 and 1.7 μm, respectively). Our results suggest that the sensitivity of exocytosis to triggering is modulated by a lipid component, the levels of which are influenced by the culture nutrient environment.

Abstract
Insulin signaling comprises a complex cascade of events, playing a key role in the regulation of glucose metabolism and cellular growth. Impaired response to insulin is the hallmark of diabetes, whereas upregulated insulin activity occurs in many cancers. Two splice variants of the insulin receptor (IR) exist in mammals: IR-A, lacking exon 11, and full-length IR-B. Although considerable biochemical data exist on insulin binding and downstream signaling, little is known about the dynamics of the IR itself. We created functional IR transgenes fused with visible fluorescent proteins for use in combination with biotinamido-caproyl insulin and streptavidin quantum dots. Using confocal and structured illumination microscopy, we visualized the endocytosis of both isoforms in living and fixed cells and demonstrated a higher rate of endocytosis of IR-A than IR-B. These differences correlated with higher and sustained activation of IR-A in response to insulin and with distinctive ERK1/2 activation profiles and gene transcription regulation. In addition, cells expressing IR-B showed higher AKT phosphorylation after insulin stimulation than cells expressing IR-A. Taken together, these results suggest that IR signaling is dependent on localization; internalized IRs regulate mitogenic activity, whereas metabolic balance signaling occurs at the cell membrane.

Abstract
Most insulin responses correlate well with insulin receptor (IR) Tyr kinase activation; however, critical exceptions to this concept have been presented. Specific IR mutants and stimulatory IR antibodies demonstrate a lack of correlation between IR kinase activity and specific insulin responses in numerous independent studies. IR conformation changes in response to insulin observed with various IR antibodies define an IR kinase-independent signal that alters the C-terminus. IR-related receptors in lower eukaryotes that lack a Tyr kinase point to an alternative mechanism of IR signaling earlier in evolution. However, the implied IR kinase-independent signaling mechanism remained obscure at the molecular level. Here we begin to define the molecular basis of an IR-dependent but IR kinase-independent insulin signal that is equally transmitted by a kinase-inactive mutant IR. This insulin signal results in Tyr phosphorylation and catalytic activation of phosphatase PHLPP1 via a PI 3-kinase-independent, wortmannin-insensitive signaling pathway. Dimerized SH2B1/PSM is a critical activator of the IR kinase and the resulting established insulin signal. In contrast it is an inhibitor of the IR kinase-independent insulin signal and disruption of SH2B1/PSM dimer binding to IR potentiates this signal. Dephosphorylation of Akt2 by PHLPP1 provides an alternative, SH2B1/PSM-regulated insulin-signaling pathway from IR to Akt2 of opposite polarity and distinct from the established PI 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathway via IRS proteins. In combination, both pathways should allow the opposing regulation of Akt2 activity at two phosphorylation sites to specifically define the insulin signal in the background of interfering Akt-regulating signals, such as those controlling cell proliferation and survival.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a dimeric molecule that exists as homodimers or heterodimers of related polypeptide chains (A and B). Two types of PDGF receptor have been identified. The PDGF alpha-receptor binds all three isoforms with high affinity whereas the beta-receptor binds only PDGF-BB with high affinity, PDGF-AB with low affinity and does not appear to bind PDGF-AA. The alpha- and beta-receptors are structurally related, each having an intracellular protein tyrosine kinase domain. Ligand-induced functional activation of the receptors appears to involve receptor dimerization. Binding of PDGF to its receptor is followed by internalization and degradation of the ligand-receptor complex. Experiments with mutant receptors have shown that ligand-induced internalization is not absolutely dependent on the kinase activity of the beta-receptor. The v-sis oncogene of simian sarcoma virus (SSV) is a retroviral version of the PDGF B chain gene and SSV-transformation is mediated by an autocrine PDGF-like growth factor. Formal evidence that the expression of the PDGF beta-receptor is sufficient to confer susceptibility to SSV-transformation has been obtained using porcine endothelial cells expressing a recombinant human beta-receptor. PDGF is a chemotactic agent for several cell types. Recent experiments have shown that the PDGF beta-receptor mediates a chemotactic response and that this effect requires an intact protein tyrosine kinase activity.

Abstract
Activated insulin receptors recruit various intracellular proteins leading to signal generation and endocytic trafficking. Although activated receptors are rapidly internalized into the endocytic compartment and subsequently degraded in lysosomes, the linkage between insulin receptor signaling and endocytosis is not well understood. This study utilizes both overexpression and depletion of Rab5 proteins to show that they play a critical role in both insulin-stimulated fluid phase and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Specifically, Rab5:WT and Rab5:Q79L (a GTP-hydrolysis defective mutant) enhance both types of endocytosis in response to insulin, while Rab5:S34N (a GTP-binding defective mutant) has the opposite effect. Morphological analysis indicates that both Rab5 and insulin receptor are found on early endosomes, but not at the plasma membrane. In addition, expression of Rab5:WT and Rab5:Q79L enhance both Erk1/2 and Akt activation without affecting JN- and p38-kinase activities, while the expression of Rab5:S34N blocks both Erk1/2 and Akt activation. Consistent with these observations, DNA synthesis is also altered by the expression of Rab5:S34N. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Rab5 is required for insulin receptor membrane trafficking and signaling.

Abstract
Rin1 is a multifunctional protein containing several domains, including Ras binding and Rab5 GEF domains. The role of Rin1 in insulin receptor internalization and signaling was examined by expressing Rin1 and deletion mutants in cells utilizing a retrovirus system. Here, we show that insulin-receptor-mediated endocystosis and fluid phase insulin-stimulated endocytosis are enhanced in cells expressing the Rin1:wild type and the Rin1:C deletion mutant, which contain both the Rab5-GEF and GTP-bound Ras binding domains. However, the Rin1:N deletion mutant, which contains both the SH2 and proline-rich domains, blocked insulin-stimulated receptor-mediated and insulin-stimulated fluid phase endocytosis. In addition, the expression of Rin1:delta (429-490), a natural occurring splice variant, also blocked both receptor-mediated and fluid phase endocystosis. Furthermore, association of the Rin1 SH2 domain with the insulin receptor was dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. Morphological analysis indicates that Rin1 co-localizes with insulin receptor both at the cell surface and in endosomes upon insulin stimulation. Interestingly, the expression of Rin1:wild type and both deletion mutants blocks the activation of Erk1/2 and Akt1 kinase activities without affecting either JN or p38 kinase activities. DNA synthesis and Elk-1 activation are also altered by the expression of Rin1:wild type and the Rin1:C deletion mutant. In contrast, the expression of Rin1:delta stimulates both Erk1/2 and Akt1 activation, DNA synthesis and Elk-1 activation. These results demonstrate that Rin1 plays an important role in both insulin receptor membrane trafficking and signaling.

Abstract
A series of 3,6-diaryl-2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinones were synthesized and evaluated for their abilities to selectively activate human insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRTK). 2, 5-Dihydroxy-6-(1-methylindol-3-yl)-3-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2h) was identified as a potent, highly selective, and orally active small-molecule insulin receptor activator. It activated IRTK with an EC(50) of 300 nM and did not induce the activation of closely related receptors (IGFIR, EGFR, and PDGFR) at concentrations up to 30 000 nM. Oral administration of the compound to hyperglycemic db/db mice (0.1-10 mg/kg/day) elicited substantial to nearly complete correction of hyperglycemia in a dose-dependent manner. In ob/ob mice, the compound (10 mg/kg) caused significant reduction in hyperinsulinemia. A structurally related compound 2c, inactive in IRTK assay, failed to affect blood glucose level in db/db mice at equivalent exposure levels. Results from additional studies with compound 2h, aimed at evaluating classical quinone-related phenomena, provided sufficient grounds for optimism to allow more extensive toxicologic evaluation.

Abstract
To examine the molecular mechanism of insulin receptor trafficking, we investigated the intracellular signaling molecules that regulate this process in Rat1 fibroblasts overexpressing insulin receptors. Cellular localization of insulin receptors was assessed by confocal laser microscopy with indirect immunofluorescence staining. Insulin receptors were visualized diffusely in the basal state. Insulin treatment induced the change of insulin receptor localization to perinuclear compartment. This insulin-induced insulin receptor trafficking was not affected by treatment of the cells with PI3-kinase inhibitor (wortmannin), whereas treatment with MEK [mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-Erk kinase] inhibitor (PD98059) partly inhibited the process in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, treatment with both wortmannin and PD98059 almost completely inhibited insulin receptor trafficking. The functional importance of PI3-kinase and MAP kinase in the trafficking process was directly assessed by using single cell microinjection analysis. Microinjection of p85-SH2 and/or catalytically inactive MAP kinase ([K71A]Erk1) GST fusion protein gave the same results as treatment with wortmannin and PD98059. Furthermore, to determine the crucial step for the requirement of PI3-kinase and MAP kinase pathways, the effect of wortmannin and PD98059 on insulin receptor endocytosis was studied. Insulin internalization from the plasma membrane and subsequent insulin degradation were not affected by treatment with wortmannin and PD98059. In contrast, insulin receptor down-regulation from the cell surface and insulin receptor degradation, after prolonged incubation with insulin, were markedly impaired by the treatment. These results suggest that PI3-kinase and MAP kinase pathways synergistically regulate insulin receptor trafficking at a step subsequent to the receptor internalization.

Abstract
The downregulation of tyrosine kinase receptors attenuates signalling and is thought to be dependent upon intrinsic receptor kinase activity, largely because down-regulation is inhibited by a kinase-inactivating mutation of an invariant lysine residue of the receptors for EGF, insulin, M-CSF and PDGF. We confirmed that this mutation inhibited the degradation of the M-CSF receptor. However, two different kinase inactivating mutations of the invariant amino acids Gly 591 and Glu 633 did not prevent M-CSF-induced receptor degradation, so demonstrating that receptor kinase activity is not essential for this process. Three other kinase-inactivating mutations were found to cause constitutive receptor degradation in the absence of M-CSF, most probably by disrupting the structure of the activating loop of the kinase domain. It is known that extensive movement of the A-loop is necessary for kinase activation and is normally induced by ligand-binding. It is therefore suggested that some aspect or consequence of the change in structure of the A-loop caused by ligand binding also activates receptor downregulation, so ensuring that downregulation is coupled to but is not necessarily dependent upon receptor kinase activity.

Abstract
Much of our understanding on how hormones and cytokines transmit their message into the cell is based on the receptor activation at the plasma membrane. Many experimental in vitro models have established the paradigm for cytokine action based upon such activation of their cell surface receptor. The signaling from the plasma membrane activated cytokine receptor is driven to the nucleus by a rapid ricochet of protein phosphorylation, ultimately integrated as a differentiative, proliferative, or transcriptional message. The Janus kinase (JAK)--signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) pathway that was first thought to be cytokine receptor specific now appears to be activated by other noncytokine receptors. Also, evidence is accumulating showing that cytokines modulate the signal transduction machinery of the tyrosine kinase receptors and that of the heterotrimeric guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding protein-coupled receptors. Thus cytokine receptor signaling has become much more complex than originally hypothesized, challenging the established model of specificity of the action of a given cytokine. This review is focused on another level of complexity emerging within cytokine receptor superfamily signaling. Over the past 10 years, data from different laboratories have shown that cytokines and their receptors localize to intracellular compartments including the nucleus, and, in some cases, biological responses have been correlated with this unexpected location, raising the possibility that cytokines act as their own messenger through inter-actions with nuclear proteins. Thus, the interplay between cytokine receptor engagement and cellular signaling turns out to be more dynamic than originally suspected. The mechanisms and regulations of intracellular translocation of the cytokines, their receptors, and their signaling proteins are discussed in the context that such compartmentalization provides some of the specificity of the responses mediated by each cytokine.

Abstract
The transmembrane protein gp130 is the common signalling receptor subunit for the interleukin-6 (IL-6)-type cytokines. It has recently been shown that the cytoplasmic domain of gp130 contains a dileucine internalization motif and that endocytosis of gp130 occurs signal-independent. Here, we have studied whether gp130 itself undergoes constitutive internalization or whether its endocytosis is stimulated by formation of the IL-6/IL-6R/gp130 complex. Using two different assays, we found that gp130 is internalized independent from IL-6/IL-6R stimulation. In addition, we show that gp130 is constitutively associated with the cell surface adaptor complex AP-2. Our findings strongly suggest endocytosis of gp130 to be constitutive.

Abstract
The common cytokine receptor gammac, shared by interleukin 2, 4, 7, 9, and 15 receptors, has a major role in lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation, leading, when mutated, to a genetic disease, X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency. In this study, we report that gammac is internalized and degraded in lymphoid cells. To identify gammac regions involved in sorting along the endocytic pathway, we have studied a chimeric protein composed of the extracellular part of interleukin 2-receptor alpha and transmembrane and intracellular part of gammac, alpha gamma gammawt. When transfected in Jurkat T cells, alpha gamma gammawt is as efficiently internalized and degraded as gammac, demonstrating that the transmembrane and cytosolic tail of gammac carry sequences involved in this process. To identify these motifs, we have analyzed the trafficking of chimeric proteins with serial truncations in their cytosolic tail. Internalization studies showed that the cytosolic tail of gammac contains three regions located between cytosolic amino acids 1-35, 35-40, and 40-65 involved in gammac endocytosis. Successive deletions of these motifs result in reduced endocytosis. One region containing the 5 cytosolic amino acids 36-40 is essential to direct gammac to the degradation pathway. These sorting sequences, by participating in the fine tuning of cell surface gammac expression, might somewhat regulate the cell responsiveness to interleukins whose receptors share this component.

Abstract
Anti-p185neu antibodies downmodulate constitutively active p185neu receptors from the cell surface, which is associated with a reduction in the transformed phenotype. We have analyzed a group of mutant p185neu forms with carboxyl (C)-terminal truncations and/or an internal deletion of amino acids 1008-1057. Receptor endocytosis and degradation were examined by flow cytometric analysis and pulse-chase assays following anti-p185neu monoclonal antibody (MAb) treatment. Deletion of a sequence within the distal carboxyl terminus, including three known autophosphorylation sites, did not affect MAb-mediated receptor surface downmodulation and degradation of surface receptor. However, kinase-active deletion mutants with elimination of the putative internalization sequence (Tint delta), or Tint delta mutants also containing a large C-terminal truncation, displayed markedly impaired receptor endocytosis in response to MAb treatment. Cells expressing endocytosis-defective mutant proteins became insensitive to anti-p185neu MAb-mediated inhibition of anchorage-independent growth and were more oncogenic in vivo. Cells expressing endocytosis-defective mutant EGFR/neu chimeric proteins were more transforming upon EGF addition when compared to cells expressing wild-type EGFR/neu receptors. Taken together, these data suggest that, in addition to kinase activity, p185neu receptor endocytosis requires a functional modular structure, i.e., an internalization sequence, possibly to serve as target for endocytotic adapter proteins. Unattenuated signaling from oncogenic p185neu forms resulting from prolonged surface localization may result in enhanced cellular transformation and desensitization to MAb-mediated downregulation and phenotypic reversion.

To characterize the structural basis for the interaction between hGrb10 and the insulin receptor and the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor, different mutant receptors containing a segment of deletion in either the juxtamembrane domain or in the C terminus of the receptors, or containing tyrosine-to-phenylalanine point mutations in these regions of the insulin receptor, were generated. Yeast two-hybrid and in vitro binding studies of the interaction between the mutant receptors and hGrb10 revealed that tyrosine residues in these regions are not essential for the binding of hGrb10. To further identify the binding site for hGrb10, all conserved tyrosine residues in the kinase domain of the insulin receptor were replaced with either phenylalanine or alanine by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutations of all tyrosine residues in this region, except at positions 1162/1163, did not inhibit the binding of the receptor to hGrb10. The binding of the Src homology 2 domain of hGrb10 to the receptors was significantly enhanced in the presence of an intact pleckstrin homology domain. Our findings suggest that, unlike other Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins, hGrb10 binds to the autophosphorylated tyrosine residues in the kinase domain of the insulin receptor, and the pleckstrin homology domain plays an important role in hGrb10/receptor interaction. Because the autophosphorylated tyrosine residues are critical for the autophosphorylation and kinase activity of the receptor, the binding of hGrb10 at these sites may suggest a role for the protein in the transduction or regulation of insulin receptor signaling.

Abstract
We examined the effects of Lovastatin on LDL receptor (LDL-R) expression and rate of internalization in interleukin-2 (IL-2) expanded phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes. Lovastatin increased the surface LDL-R expression, but not DiI-LDL uptake, by up to 30% regardless of whether cell proliferation was affected. It caused a dose-dependent reduction in the LDL-R internalization rate as determined with monensin. Lovastatin had no effect on IL-2 receptor internalization. Inhibition of DNA synthesis by hydroxyurea or protein tyrosine kinase activity by genistein failed to affect the LDL-R internalization rate. Co-incubation of cells with Lovastatin and mevalonate or LDL completely restored the rate of LDL-R internalization. We conclude that Lovastatin increases the apparent surface LDL-R expression by retarding the rate of LDL-R internalization. The effect is mediated through the mevalonate pathway but not the anti-mitogenic property of Lovastatin.

Abstract
The potential for the activation of one Trk receptor by ligand binding to another Trk receptor was explored by determining if transphosphorylation on tyrosine residues can occur between receptors. For most of these experiments, functional chimeric receptors were used that contained the extracellular domain of the human type 2 tumor necrosis factor receptor and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of rat TrkA, TrkB, or TrkC and that, when activated by the tumor necrosis factor, mediated the nerve growth factor-like biological activities in PC12 cells. Cotransfection experiments in COS-7 cells and fibroblasts showed that despite the presence of different extracellular regions, intermolecular transphosphorylation of homologous cytoplasmic domains occurred between TrkA or TrkB and their cognate chimeras. Heterologous transphosphorylation between TrkB and TrkC kinase domains was also observed when one partner was a chimeric receptor; however, TrkA did not transphosphorylate the TrkB or TrkC kinase domains of chimeric receptors or act as a transphosphorylation substrate for these two receptors. The failure of TrkA to take part in transphosphorylation reactions with TrkB and TrkC was confirmed using the natural receptors. Trk receptor transphosphorylation occurs in the two non-neuronal cell types, but TrkA is excluded from these reactions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A number of vanadium compounds (vanadate, vanadyl sulfate, metavanadate) have insulin-mimicking actions both in vitro and in vivo. They have multiple biological effects in cultured cells and interact directly with various enzymes. The inhibitory action on phosphoprotein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and enhancement of cellular tyrosine phosphorylation appear to be the most relevant to explain the ability to mimic insulin. We demonstrated that in rat adipocytes both acute insulin effects, e.g. stimulation of IGF-II and transferrin binding and a chronic effect, insulin receptor downregulation, were stimulated by vanadate. Vanadate also enhanced insulin binding, particularly at very low insulin concentrations, associated with increased receptor affinity. This resulted in increased adipocyte insulin sensitivity. Finally vanadate augmented the extent of activation of the insulin receptor kinase by submaximal insulin concentrations. This was associated with a prolongation of the insulin biological response, lipogenesis, after removal of hormone. IN CONCLUSION in rat adipocytes vanadate promotes insulin action by three mechanisms, 1) a direct insulin-mimetic action, 2) an enhancement of insulin sensitivity and 3) a prolongation of insulin biological response. These data suggest that PTP inhibitors have potential as useful therapeutic agents in insulin-resistant and relatively insulin-deficient forms of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
AG-18, an inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinases, was employed to study the role of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in insulin- and phorbol ester-induced signaling cascades. When incubated with Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing the insulin receptor, AG-18 reversibly inhibited insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substate-1, with minimal effects either on receptor autophosphorylation or on phosphorylation of Shc64. Under these conditions, AG-18 inhibited insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the ribosomal protein S6, while no inhibition of insulin-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase or MAPK was detected. In contrast, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced activation of MAPK kinase and MAPK and phosphorylation of S6 were inhibited by AG-18. This correlated with inhibition of TPA-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, the most prominent ones being pp114 and pp120. We conclude that Tyr-phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate-1 is the main upstream regulator of insulin-induced S6 phosphorylation by p70s6k, whereas MAPK signaling seems to be activated in these cells primarily through the adaptor molecule Shc. In contrast, TPA-induced S6 phosphorylation is mediated by the MAPK/p90rsk cascade. A key element of this TPA-stimulated signaling pathway is an AG-18-sensitive protein-tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
pp120/HA4 is a hepatocyte membrane glycoprotein phosphorylated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. In this study, we have investigated the role of pp120/HA4 in insulin action. Transfection of antisense pp120/HA4 cDNA in H35 hepatoma cells resulted in inhibition of pp120/HA4 expression and was associated with a 2-3-fold decrease in the rate of insulin internalization. Furthermore, insulin internalization in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts co-transfected with insulin receptors and pp120/HA4 was increased 2-fold compared with cells expressing insulin receptors alone. In contrast, no effect on internalization was observed in cells overexpressing a naturally occurring splice variant of pp120/HA4 that lacks the phosphorylation sites in the intracellular domain. Insulin internalization was also unaffected in cells expressing three site-directed mutants of pp120/HA4 in which the sites of phosphorylation by the insulin receptor kinase had been removed (Y488F, Y488F/Y513F, and S503A). Our data suggest that pp120/HA4 is part of a complex of proteins required for receptor-mediated internalization of insulin. It is possible that this function is regulated by insulin-induced phosphorylation of the intracellular domain of pp120/HA4.

Abstract
To characterize the structural basis for the interactions between the insulin receptor (IR) and its major substrate, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), a segment of the NH2-terminal region of IRS-1 (Pro5-Pro65) was deleted. This region contains the first four conserved boxes of a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, located at the NH2-terminal part of IRS-1. COS-7 cells were then cotransfected with the genes coding for IR and a wild-type (WT) or a mutated form of IRS-1. IRS-1 delta PH underwent significantly reduced insulin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation compared with WT IRS-1. The reduced in vivo tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 delta PH was accompanied by reduced association between IRS-1 delta PH and its downstream effector p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. In contrast, both WT IRS-1 and IRS-1 delta PH underwent comparable insulin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation in vitro when incubated with partially purified insulin receptor kinase. These findings suggest that the overall structure of IRS-1 is not altered by deletion of its PH domain and that the PH domain is not the main site for protein-protein interactions between the insulin receptor and IRS-1, at least in vitro. In conclusion, the PH region might facilitate in vivo binding of IRS-1 to membrane phospholipids or other cellular constituents in close proximity to the IR, whereas the actual interactions with the IR are presumably mediated through other domains of the IRS-1 molecule. This could account for the fact that partial deletion of the PH domain selectively impairs the in vivo interactions between the insulin receptor and IRS-1, whereas their in vitro interactions remain unaffected.

Abstract
Herbimycin A is an ansamycin antibiotic isolated as an agent that reverses morphological transformation induced by v-src. Although herbimycin A is widely used as a tool for inhibiting multiple tyrosine protein kinases and tyrosine kinase-activated signal transduction, its mechanism of action is not well defined and includes a decrease in both tyrosine kinase protein levels and activity (Uehara, Y., Murakami, Y., Sugimoto, Y., and Mizuno, S. (1989) Cancer Res. 49, 780-785). We now show that herbimycin A induces a profound decrease in the total cellular activity of transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors, such as insulin-like growth factor, insulin, and epidermal growth factor receptors. A substantial proportion of the in vivo inhibition could be explained by an increase in the rate of degradation. The enhanced degradation of insulin-like growth factor-insulin receptor was prevented by inhibitors of the 20S proteasome, whereas neither lysosomotropic agents nor general serine- and cysteine-protease inhibitors were active in preventing receptor degradation induced by herbimycin A. Moreover, in a temperature-sensitive mutant cell line defective in the E1-catalyzed activation of ubiquitin, herbimycin A treatment at the restrictive temperature did not result in the degradation of insulin receptor. These results suggest that herbimycin A represents a novel class of drug that targets the degradation of tyrosine kinases by the 20S proteasome. The ubiquitin dependence of this process indicates that this degradation of tyrosine kinases might involve the 20S proteasome as the proteolytic core of the ubiquitin-dependent 26S protease.

Abstract
Insulin administration activates the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) in both plasma membrane (PM) and endosomes (ENs) raising the possibility of transmembrane signaling occurring in the endosomal compartment. Peroxovanadium compounds activate the IRK by inhibiting IR-associated phosphotyrosine phosphatase(s). Following the administration of the phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor bisperoxo(1,10-phenanthroline)-oxovanadate (V) anion (bpV(phen)) activation of the hepatic IRK in ENs preceded that in PM by 5 min. When colchicine treatment preceded bpV(phen) administration IRK activation in ENs was unaffected but was totally abrogated in PM. Insulin receptor substrate-1 tyrosine phosphorylation followed the kinetics of IRK activation in ENs not PM and a hypoglycemic response similar to that achieved with a pharmacological dose of insulin ensued. These studies demonstrate that ENs constitute a site for IR-mediated signal transduction.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism by which ligand-activated epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) associate with coated pit adaptor protein (AP) complexes. In vivo association, assayed by coimmunoprecipitation of AP with mutant EGFR, required tyrosine kinase activity, intact autophosphorylation sites, and the regulatory carboxyl terminus of EGFR. The role of autophosphorylation of EGFR in interaction with AP was examined in vitro using a BIAcore instrument. Purified active EGFR, immobilized on the biosensor surface, was reversibly autophosphorylated or dephosphorylated by treatment with ATP or phosphatase. Autophosphorylation of EGFR significantly increased AP binding. Once formed, EGFR AP complexes were resistant to disassembly by dephosphorylation of EGFR or competition with phosphotyrosine, indicating that phosphorylated tyrosine residues do not directly participate in AP binding. Induction of conformational changes in EGFR by treatment with urea increased AP binding up to 10-fold in the absence of EGFR autophosphorylation. A recombinant EGFR carboxyl terminus specifically bound the AP complex and each of the isolated alpha- and beta-subunits of AP2. We conclude that tyrosine autophosphorylation of EGFR exposes structural motif(s) in the carboxyl terminus of EGFR that interact specifically with AP2.

Abstract
To examine whether the surface redistribution of the insulin receptor from microvilli, where it sits in its unoccupied form, to the nonvillous domain, where it is internalized through clathrin-coated pits, is an active movement or a passive redistribution linked to the release of a restraint maintaining it on microvilli, we have generated a mutated insulin receptor with a truncation of exons 17-22 and tracked it biochemically and morphologically. Biochemical analysis indicates that this mutated receptor is constitutively internalized and recycled even in the absence of ligand. Quantitative electron microscope autoradiography analysis reveals that it does not preferentially associate with microvilli in its unoccupied form but is normally segregated in clathrin-coated pits through the preserved signal sequence(s) of exon 16. We conclude that (a) insulin receptor internalization initiated through receptor kinase activation and autophosphorylation, which free the receptor from constraints maintaining it on microvilli; (b) the signal sequences contained in exon 16 are entirely sufficient to promote clathrin-coated pit-mediated internalization of insulin receptors; (c) these sequences are not uncovered by kinase activation; and (d) the "code" maintaining the unoccupied receptors on microvilli is contained within exons 17-21 of the receptor.

Abstract
tyk2 belongs to the JAK family of nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases recently found implicated in signaling through a large number of cytokine receptors. These proteins are characterized by a large amino-terminal region and two tandemly arranged kinase domains, a kinase-like and a tyrosine kinase domain. Genetic and biochemical evidence supports the requirement for tyk2 in interferon-alpha/beta binding and signaling. To study the role of the distinct domains of tyk2, constructs lacking one or both kinase domains were stably transfected in recipient cells lacking the endogenous protein. Removal of either or both kinase domains resulted in loss of the in vitro kinase activity. The mutant form truncated of the tyrosine kinase domain was found to reconstitute binding of interferon-alpha 8 and partial signaling. While no contribution of this protein toward interferon-beta binding was evident, increased signaling could be measured. The mutant form lacking both kinase domains did not exhibit any detectable activity. Altogether, these results show that a sequential deletion of domains engenders a sequential loss of function and that the different domains of tyk2 have distinct functions, all essential for full interferon-alpha and -beta binding and signaling.

Abstract
We have characterized the internalization and down-regulation of the insulin receptor and nine receptors with mutations in the transmembrane (TM) domain and/or flanking charged amino acids to define the role of this domain in receptor cycling. When expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells, all had normal tetrameric structure and normal insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation/kinase activity. Replacement of the TM domain with that of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, insertion of 3 amino acids, and substitution of Asp for Val938 or of Ala for either Gly933 or Pro934 had no effect on internalization. Replacement of the TM domain with that of c-neu or conversion of the charged amino acids on the cytoplasmic flank to uncharged amino acids, on the other hand, resulted in a 40-60% decrease in insulin-dependent internalization rate constants. By contrast, substitution of Ala for both Gly933 and Pro934 increases lateral diffusion mobility and accelerates internalization rate. These changes in internalization were due to decreased or increased rates of redistribution of receptors from microvilli to the nonvillous cell surface. In all cases, receptor down-regulation and receptor-mediated insulin degradation paralleled the changes in internalization. Thus, the structure of the transmembrane domain of the insulin receptor and flanking amino acids are major determinants of receptor internalization, insulin degradation, and receptor down-regulation.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is a potent antagonist of insulin action, and this resistance occurs primarily at a post-binding step(s). To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, the effects of chronic GH excess on the structure and function of insulin receptors partially purified from the liver were examined in rats harboring GH-secreting tumors. Insulin resistance was established in this animal model of GH hypersecretion by a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. Specific binding of 125I-insulin and receptor number were reduced in tumor animals by 40% and 62%, respectively, reflecting downregulation of the insulin receptor by hyperinsulinemia in these animals. Receptors from tumor animals showed a 50% increase in beta-subunit phosphorylation and in the kinase activity toward the synthetic polypeptide Glu4:Tyr1 when measured in vitro in the absence of insulin; however, the incremental stimulation by insulin (170 nmol/L) of the phosphorylation of either the beta-subunit or Glu4:Tyr1 was not different between control and experimental animals. There was no difference between the two groups in Glu4:Tyr1 phosphorylation measured after immunodepletion of receptors by antibodies to the insulin receptor, indicating that the observed alteration in the kinase activity of tumor animals was intrinsic to the insulin receptor. Exposure to chronic GH excess did not alter insulin receptor structure, as evidenced by electrophoretic mobility under reducing and nonreducing conditions. The enhanced basal kinase activity of the receptor from tumor animals may reflect a more highly phosphorylated state of the receptor (and hence elevated enzyme activity) in these animals due to elevated serum insulin levels. These results demonstrate that the hepatic insulin resistance in rats chronically exposed to GH excess is not due to impaired insulin receptor kinase activity.

Abstract
Two Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines stably transfected with human insulin receptor cDNA, CHO-wt and CHO-mut, which express an equivalent number of normal and kinase-defective human insulin receptors, respectively, were used to assess the roles of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity in insulin-regulated gene expression. The effect of insulin on gene-33-promoter-driven chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), RSVLTR-driven beta-galactosidase (pRSVLTR-betagal) and SV40 late-promoter-driven hepatitis B surface antigen (pMLSV(2)HBsAg) were examined in CHO-wt and CHO-mut cells. Insulin-stimulated gene 33 promoter is 10- to 50-fold more effective in CHO-wt cells than that in parental CHO cells. However, no enhancement of insulin sensitivity of gene 33 promoter in CHO-mut cells relative to parental CHO cells was found. Similar phenomena were also observed, in that insulin regulated pRSVLTR-betagal and pMLSV(2)HBsAg in these three CHO lines. Our data indicated that the protein kinase activity of the insulin receptor is essential for the stimulatory activity of insulin toward the activities of different promoters. Copyright 1994 S.

Abstract
We analysed the biochemical properties of insulin receptors of a Type A insulin resistant patient with a single heterozygous point mutation substituting Gln for Arg1174. Insulin binding capacity and affinity to Epstein-Barr virus transformed lymphocytes was normal. Quantitative analysis of autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation of soluble insulin receptors isolated from patient cells revealed no differences in the basal state whereas in the presence of insulin autophosphorylation activity was only 30% of control receptors. The stimulation of substrate phosphorylation and down-regulation of receptors on patient cells after chronic exposure to insulin was diminished when compared to controls. We conclude that the heterozygous Arg1174 mutation does not perturb basal kinase activity but specifically interferes with the kinase activation by insulin and that the mutation has a dominant negative effect on the wild type kinase.

Abstract
The initial interaction between insulin and its receptor on target cell surface is followed by a series of surface and intracellular steps which participate in the control of insulin action. Abnormalities of any of these steps could result in mishandling of the receptor leading to defective modulation of receptor number on the cell surface and to inappropriate cell sensitivity to the hormone. Thus, the identification of each of these steps as well as understanding the mechanisms governing them is obligatory to unravel some aspects of the pathogenesis of insulin resistance states. This was the goal of the studies we have carried out during recent years using combined molecular and cellular biology as well as biochemical techniques. These studies allowed us to propose the following ordered sequence of events: 1) insulin binds to receptors preferentially associated with microvilli on the cell surface; 2) insulin triggers receptor kinase activation and autophosphorylation which not only results in initiation of the various biological signals leading to insulin action but also in redistribution of the hormone-receptor complex in the plane of the membrane; 3) on the non-villous domain of the cell surface, insulin receptors anchor to clathrin-coated pits through specific "internalization sequences" present in their cytoplasmic juxtamembrane domain; 4) insulin-receptor complexes are internalized together with other receptors present in the same clathrin-coated pits through the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles; 5) the complexes are delivered to endosomes, the acidic pH of which induces the dissociation of insulin molecules from insulin receptors and their sorting in different directions; 6) insulin molecules are targetted to late endosomes and lysosomes where they are degraded; 7) receptors are recycled back to the cell surface in order to be reused.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing human insulin receptor (hIR) of the wild-type (CHO R) or hIR mutated at tyrosines 1162 and 1163 (CHO Y2) were compared for agonist-induced receptor phosphorylation of serine/threonine residues and receptor desensitization. Relative to CHO R cells, CHO Y2 cells exhibited a marked decrease in their response to insulin and 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) for hIR phosphorylation on serine residues. Moreover, the tyr1162,1163 mutant hIR could not be normally phosphorylated by purified protein kinase C (PKC) in vitro. Finally, in contrast to CHO R cells, CHO Y2 cells were refractory to PMA-induced IR desensitization for subsequent activation by insulin of exogenous tyrosine kinase and glycogen synthesis. These results strongly suggest that the replacement of tyrosines 1162 and 1163 by phenylalanine residues changes the IR beta-subunit conformation and thus impedes phosphorylation of the IR at crucial serine residues and prevents PMA-induced desensitization. This supports the hypothesis that IR serine phosphorylation and desensitization are related.

Abstract
Mutations of the extracellular domain of the insulin receptor impair processing and transport of receptors to the plasma membrane. We have previously reported that a mutation substituting Val for Phe382 in the alpha-subunit of the insulin receptor impairs intracellular processing and insulin-induced autophosphorylation of the mutant receptor. In this investigation, we have generated two independent mutations of amino acids Phe381 and Phe382 of the insulin receptor: Val for Phe381 and Leu for Phe382. These substitutions cause a slight impairment of intracellular processing and transport of the mutant receptors. Furthermore, insulin-dependent internalization of the mutant receptors is unaffected by these mutations. Thus, of the three substitutions studied to date, Val for Phe382 is the only mutation of the Phe381-Phe382 sequence that causes a major defect in post-translational processing of the receptor.

Abstract
We previously reported that Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines overexpressing mutated human insulin receptors (hIRs) in which the tyrosine residues 1162 and 1163 were replaced by phenylalanines (CHO-Y2) exhibited a marked defect in hormone-induced receptor internalization as compared to CHO transfectants overexpressing wild-type hIRs (CHO-R). These two cell lines are now used to compare the role of tyrosines 1162-1163 in basal and ligand-stimulated receptor internalization as well as in receptor turnover. We show here that (1) in CHO-Y2 cells, basal endocytosis, like insulin-induced internalization, was markedly altered despite normal receptor turnover and (2) in both CHO-R and CHO-Y2 cells, basal receptor endocytosis was altered by tunicamycin, an inhibitor of protein N-glycosylation, whereas insulin-induced internalization was not. These results support a role for tyrosines 1162-1163 of the IR beta-subunit major autophosphorylation domain in both basal and ligand-stimulated receptor endocytosis and provide evidence that the two processes follow distinct pathways.

Abstract
The data that we have reviewed indicate that insulin binds to a specific cell-surface receptor. The complex then becomes involved in a series of steps which lead the insulin-receptor complex to be internalized and rapidly delivered to endosomes. From this sorting station, the hormone is targeted to lysosomes to be degraded while the receptor is recycled back to the cell surface. This sequence of events presents two degrees of ligand specificity: (a) The first step is ligand-dependent and requires insulin-induced receptor phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues. It consists in the surface redistribution of the receptor from microvilli where it preferentially localizes in its unoccupied form. (b) The second step is more general and consists in the association with clathrin-coated pits which represents the internalization gate common to many receptors. This sequence of events participates in the regulation of the biological action of the hormone and can thus be implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and various extreme insulin resistance syndromes, including type A extreme insulin resistance, leprechaunism, and Rabson-Mendehall syndrome. Alterations of the internalization process can result either from intrinsic abnormalities of the receptor or from more general alteration of the plasma membrane or of the cell metabolism. Type I diabetes is an example of the latter possibility, since general impairment of endocytosis could contribute to extracellular matrix accumulation and to an increase in blood cholesterol. Thus, better characterization of the molecular and cellular biology of the insulin receptor and of its journey inside the cell definitely leads to better understanding of disease states, including diabetes.

Abstract
Reduced insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity and internalization have been reported in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients. To clarify whether in NIDDM the defective internalization is caused by the defective kinase activity, we studied receptor tyrosine kinase activity and internalization in monocytes from eight lean control and six obese subjects and 10 obese NIDDM patients. Receptor internalization was also stimulated by an anti-insulin receptor antibody (MA-10) that is unable to stimulate receptor kinase activity. Basal exogenous tyrosine kinase activity was not different in monocytes from the three groups of subjects. As compared with control subjects (2,690 +/- 637 fmol 32P incorporated), insulin (100 nmol/L)-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity was lower in NIDDM patients (1,262 +/- 318, P < .05), but not in obese subjects (2,640 +/- 731). Basal receptor autophosphorylation did not differ between the three groups, whereas insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation in comparison to that in control subjects was reduced in NIDDM patients (P < .05), but not in obese subjects. In NIDDM patients, receptor internalization induced by both insulin and MA-10, was lower (P < .05) than that in control and obese subjects. No correlation was found between receptor internalization and exogenous tyrosine kinase activity (r = .30, NS) or autophosphorylation (r = .08, NS).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
When alpha factor binds to the yeast alpha factor receptor a signal is transmitted via a tripartite G protein that prepares the cell for conjugation. As a result of alpha factor binding the receptor also undergoes a regulated internalization and hyperphosphorylation. Using cells that lack activity of this tripartite G protein, we show that G protein-mediated pheromone signal transduction is not necessary for regulation of receptor internalization or hyperphosphorylation. Therefore, the processes of signal transduction and down regulation can be uncoupled. We propose that binding of alpha factor to its receptor results in a receptor conformation change that permits receptor hyperphosphorylation and interaction with the endocytic machinery.
