Abstract
Lamins form the nuclear lamina, which is important for nuclear structure and activity. Although posttranslational modifications, in particular serine phosphorylation, have been shown to be important for structural properties and functions of lamins, little is known about the role of tyrosine phosphorylation in this regard. In this study, we found that the constitutively active Src Y527F mutant caused the disassembly of lamin A/C. We demonstrate that Src directly phosphorylates lamin A mainly at Tyr45 both in vitro and in intact cells. The phosphomimetic Y45D mutant was diffusively distributed in the nucleoplasm and failed to assemble into the nuclear lamina. Depletion of lamin A/C in HeLa cells induced nuclear dysmorphia and genomic instability as well as increased nuclear plasticity for cell migration, all of which were partially restored by re-expression of lamin A, but further promoted by the Y45D mutant. Together, our results reveal a novel mechanism for regulating the assembly of nuclear lamina through Src and suggest that aberrant phosphorylation of lamin A by Src may contribute to nuclear dysmorphia, genomic instability, and nuclear plasticity.

Abstract
Human sacum is regulatory adaptor protein involved in cellular signaling network of colorectal cancer. Molecular evidences suggest that the protein is integrated into oncogenic signaling network by binding to SH3-containing proteins through its proline-rich motifs. In this study, we have performed a transcriptome-wide analysis and identification of sacum-binding partners in the genome profile of human colorectal cancer. The sacum-binding potency of SH3-containing proteins found in colorectal cancer was investigated by using bioinformatics modeling and intermolecular binding analysis. With the protocol we were able to predict those high-affinity domain binders of the proline-rich peptides of human sacum in a high-throughput manner, and to analyze sequence-specific interaction in the domain-peptide recognition at molecular level. Consequently, a number of putative domain binders with both high affinity and specificity were identified, from which the Src SH3 domain was selected as a case study and tested for its binding activity towards the sacum peptides. We also designed two peptide variants that may have potent capability to competitively disrupt sacum interaction with its partners.

Abstract
The protein Sam68 is involved in many cellular processes such as cell-cycle regulation, RNA metabolism, or signal transduction. Sam68 comprises a central RNA-binding domain flanked by unstructured tails containing docking sites for signalling proteins including seven proline-rich sequences (denoted P0 to P6) as potential SH3-domain binding motifs. To comprehensively assess Sam68-SH3-interactions, we applied a phage-display screening of a library containing all approx. 300 human SH3 domains. Thereby we identified five new (from intersectin 2, the osteoclast stimulating factor OSF, nephrocystin, sorting nexin 9, and CIN85) and seven already known high-confidence Sam68-ligands (mainly from the Src-kinase family), as well as several lower-affinity binders. Interaction of the high-affinity Sam68-binders was confirmed in independent assays in vitro (phage-ELISA, GST-pull-down) and in vivo (FACS-based FRET-analysis with CFP- and YFP-tagged proteins). Fine-mapping analyses with peptides established P0, P3, P4, and P5 as exclusive docking-sites for SH3 domains, which showed varying preferences for these motifs. Mutational analyses identified individual residues within the proline-rich motifs being crucial for the interactions. Based on these data, we generated a Sam68-mutant incapable of interacting with SH3 domains any more, as subsequently demonstrated by FRET-analyses. In conclusion, we present a thorough characterization of Sam68's interplay with the SH3 proteome. The observed interaction between Sam68 and OSF complements the known Sam68-Src and OSF-Src interactions. Thus, we propose, that Sam68 functions as a classical scaffold protein in this context, assembling components of an osteoclast-specific signalling pathway.

Abstract
C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) that functions as an essential negative regulator of Src family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) interacts with tyrosine-phosphorylated molecules through its Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, allowing it targeting to the sites of SFKs and concomitantly enhancing its kinase activity. Identification of additional Csk-interacting proteins is expected to reveal potential signaling targets and previously undescribed functions of Csk. In this study, using a direct proteomic approach, we identified 151 novel potential Csk-binding partners, which are associated with a wide range of biological functions. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the majority of identified proteins contain one or several Csk-SH2 domain-binding motifs, indicating a potentially direct interaction with Csk. The interactions of Csk with four proteins (partitioning defective 3 (Par3), DDR1, SYK and protein kinase C iota) were confirmed using biochemical approaches and phosphotyrosine 1127 of Par3 C-terminus was proved to directly bind to Csk-SH2 domain, which was consistent with predictions from in silico analysis. Finally, immunofluorescence experiments revealed co-localization of Csk with Par3 in tight junction (TJ) in a tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent manner and overexpression of Csk, but not its SH2-domain mutant lacking binding to phosphotyrosine, promoted the TJ assembly in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, implying the involvement of Csk-SH2 domain in regulating cellular TJs. In conclusion, the newly identified potential interacting partners of Csk provided new insights into its functional diversity in regulation of numerous cellular events, in addition to controlling the SFK activity.

Abstract
The SH3-SH2-kinase domain arrangement in nonreceptor tyrosine kinases has been conserved throughout evolution. For Src family kinases, the relative positions of the domains are important for enzyme regulation; they permit the assembly of Src kinases into autoinhibited conformations. The SH3 and SH2 domains of Src family kinases have an additional role in determining the substrate specificity of the kinase. We addressed the question of whether the domain arrangement of Src family kinases has a role in substrate specificity by producing mutants with alternative arrangements. Our results suggest that changes in the positions of domains can lead to specific changes in the phosphorylation of Sam68 and Cas by Src. Phosphorylation of Cas by several mutants triggers downstream signaling leading to cell migration. The placement of the SH2 domain with respect to the catalytic domain of Src appears to be especially important for proper substrate recognition, while the placement of the SH3 domain is more flexible. The results suggest that the involvement of the SH3 and SH2 domains in substrate recognition is one reason for the strict conservation of the SH3-SH2-kinase architecture.

Abstract
The enzyme phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) is essential for T cell signaling and activation. Following T cell receptor ligation, PLCgamma1 interacts through its SH2 and SH3 domains with the adaptors LAT and SLP-76, respectively, to form a multiprotein signaling complex that leads to activation of PLCgamma1 by Syk tyrosine kinases. To identify the binding site for PLCgamma1 in SLP-76, we used isothermal titration calorimetry to measure affinities for the interaction of PLCgamma1-SH3 with a set of overlapping peptides spanning the central proline-rich region of SLP-76. PLCgamma1-SH3 bound with high specificity to the SLP-76 motif 186PPVPPQRP193, which represents the minimal binding site. To understand the basis for selective recognition, we determined the crystal structures of PLCgamma1-SH3 in free form, and bound to a 10-mer peptide containing this site, to resolutions of 1.60 A and 1.81 A, respectively. The structures reveal that several key contacting residues of the SH3 shift toward the SLP-76 peptide upon complex formation, optimizing the fit and strengthening hydrophobic interactions. Selectivity results mainly from strict shape complementarity between protein and peptide, rather than sequence-specific hydrogen bonding. In addition, Pro193 of SLP-76 assists in positioning Arg192 into the compass pocket of PLCgamma1-SH3, which coordinates the compass residue through an unusual aspartate. The PLCgamma1-SH3/SLP-76 structure provides insights into ligand binding by SH3 domains related to PLCgamma1-SH3, as well as into recognition by PLCgamma1 of signaling partners other than SLP-76.

Abstract
Dok-R has previously been shown to associate with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and become tyrosine phosphorylated in response to EGF stimulation. The recruitment of Dok-R to the EGFR, which is mediated through its phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain, results in attenuation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. Dok-R's ability to attenuate EGF-driven MAPK activation is independent of its ability to recruit rasGAP, a known attenuator of MAPK activity, suggesting an alternate Dok-R-mediated pathway. Herein, we have determined the structural determinants within Dok-R that are required for its ability to attenuate EGF signaling and to associate with c-Src and with the Src family kinase (SFK)-inhibitory kinase, Csk. We demonstrate that Dok-R associates constitutively with c-Src through an SH3-dependent interaction and that this association is essential to Dok-R's ability to attenuate c-Src activity and diminish MAPK and Akt/PKB activity. We further illustrate that EGF-dependent phosphorylation of Dok-R requires SFK activity and, more specifically, that SFK-dependent phosphorylation of tyrosine 402 on Dok-R facilitates the inducible recruitment of Csk. We propose that recruitment of Csk to Dok-R serves to bring Csk to c-Src and down-regulate its activity, resulting in a concomitant attenuation of MAPK and Akt/PKB activity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Dok-R can abrogate c-Src's ability to protect the breast cancer cell line SKBR3 from anoikis and that an association with c-Src and Csk is required for this activity. Collectively these results demonstrate that Dok-R acts as an EGFR-recruited scaffolding molecule that processively assembles c-Src and Csk to attenuate signaling from the EGFR.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that H(2)O(2) acts as a second messenger of mitogenic signaling and that catalase is under the regulation of PKA and PKC signaling. Here we examined whether catalase binds any mitogenic signaling molecules. Our results indicated that serum stimulation of HeLa, Caco-2, and LiSa-2 cells, but not BJ-1 and primary human bronchial epithelial cells, resulted in catalase binding to Grb2. Whereas serum deprivation, butyrate, and herbimycin-A negatively regulated the binding, an extended culture of confluent Caco-2 cells resulted in binding of an additional but as yet unidentified molecule to the Grb2-catalase complex. Expression of active catalase nearly 15-fold over control level in Tet-off HeLa cells substantially increased binding to Grb2, and this was sensitive to 3-aminotriazole, a specific catalase inhibitor. Furthermore, fibrinogen, fibronectin, and laminin, but not collagen types I to V, hyaluronic acid, elastin, insulin, EGF, IGF-I, PDGF, or NGF, resulted in binding similar to that of serum. A mutation of tyrosine to phenylalanine at 447 abolished the binding capability of catalase to Grb2 in vitro. These results support the view that catalase (447)Tyr-Val-Asn-Val binds Grb2 upon phosphorylation in tumor cells when stimulated with serum or ligands for integrin receptors. This is the first report demonstrating that catalase binds a SH2 domain of the molecule and participates in integrin signaling.

Abstract
Overexpression or increased activity of cellular Src (c-Src) is frequently detected in human breast cancer, implicating involvement of c-Src in the etiology of breast carcinomas. Curiously, overexpression of c-Src in tissue culture cells results in a weakly or non-transforming phenotype, indicating that it alone is not sufficient for oncogenesis. However, the protein has been demonstrated to potentiate mitogenic signals from transmembrane receptors. This report investigates the requirement for c-Src in breast cancer as a transducer and integrator of anchorage-dependent and -independent growth signals by utilizing the Src family pharmacological inhibitors, PP1 and PP2, or stable overexpression of the catalytically inactive c-Src mutant (K- c-Src). Both methods of inhibiting endogenous c-Src diminished formation of soft agar colonies and tumors in nude mice. The majority of the dominant-negative activity of K- c-Src was mapped to the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain and C-terminal half of the molecule, but not to the Unique domain, Src homology 3 (SH3) domain, or the N-terminal half of K- c-Src. Further analysis of the C terminus revealed that its ability to inhibit growth localized to the N-terminal lobe (N-lobe) of the catalytic region. These results underscore the requirement for c-Src to maintain the oncogenic phenotype of breast cancer cells and suggest that c-Src may be manipulated to inhibit cell growth by the direct disruption of its catalytic activity or the introduction of either the SH2 domain or the N-lobe of K- c-Src.

Abstract
The traffic and expression of mRNAs in neurons are modulated by changes in neuronal activity. The regulation of neuronal RNA-binding proteins is therefore currently receiving attention. Sam68 is a ubiquitous nuclear RNA-binding protein implicated in post-transcriptional processes such as signal-dependent splice site selection. We show that Sam68 undergoes activity-responsive translocation to the soma and dendrites of hippocampal neurons in primary culture. In unstimulated neurons transiently expressing a GFP-Sam68 fusion protein, 90% of the cells accumulated the protein exclusively in the nucleus, and 4% showed extension of GFP-Sam68 to the dendrites. This nuclear expression pattern required the integrity of the Sam68 N-terminus. When present, the dendritic GFP-Sam68 formed granules, 26% of which were colocalized with ethidium bromide-stained RNA clusters. Most of the GFP-Sam68 granules were completely stationary, but a few moved in either a retrograde or anterograde direction. Following depolarization by 25 mM KCl, 50% of neurons displayed dendritic GFP-Sam68. GFP-Sam68 invaded the dendrites after 2 hours with high KCl, and returned to the nucleus within 3 hours after termination of the KCl treatment. A control GFP fusion derived from the SC-35 splicing factor remained fully nuclear during depolarization. No significant change was observed in the phosphorylation of Sam68 after depolarization. Translocation of Sam68 to the distal dendrites was microtubule dependent. Blockade of calcium channels with nimodipine abolished the translocation. Furthermore, inhibition of CRM-1-mediated nuclear export by leptomycin B partially prevented the depolarization-induced nuclear efflux of GFP-Sam68. These results support the possible involvement of Sam68 in the activity-dependent regulation of dendritic mRNAs.

Abstract
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-induced receptor activation has been demonstrated to entrain a wide variety of signaling modalities. Most signaling pathways are concerned with the control of serine, threonine, or tyrosine-protein kinases, however, in the current article we demonstrate that in both a model cell line and in gonadotropes, GnRH additionally mediates the activation of lipid-directed kinases. We have shown that there is a functional connection between protein-tyrosine kinase modulation and lipid kinase activation. In HEK293 cells stably expressing the Type I mammalian GnRH receptor, we employed a proteomic approach to identify novel protein binding partners for GnRH-activated c-Src. Using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry we identified a GnRH-induced association between c-Src and the lipid kinase, diacylglycerol kinase-zeta (DGK-zeta). Using reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation we show that there is a significant elevation of the association between catalytically active c-Src with DGK-zeta in both HEK293 cells and murine gonadotrope LbetaT2 cells. Employing lipid kinase assays we have shown that the catalytic activity of DGK-zeta is significantly heightened in both HEK293 and LbetaT2 cells by GnRH. In addition, we demonstrate that the activation of DGK-zeta exerts a functional role in the murine gonadotrope LbetaT2 cell line. Elevated expression of DGK-zeta resulted in a shortening of the time scale of ERK activation in these cells suggesting a potential role of endogenous DGK-zeta in controlling the induction of LHbeta transcription by ERK1/2.

Abstract
Tr-kit is a truncated form of the tyrosine kinase receptor c-kit expressed in the haploid phase of spermatogenesis. Upon microinjection, tr-kit triggers metaphase-to-anaphase transition in mouse eggs by the sequential activation of Fyn and PLCgamma1. Here, we show that tr-kit promotes the interaction of several tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins with the SH3 domain of PLCgamma1. Western blot analysis indicates that one of these proteins is Sam68, an RNA-binding protein that is known to interact with and be phosphorylated by Src-like kinases in mitosis. tr-kit promotes the association of Sam68 with PLCgamma1 and Fyn in a multimolecular complex, as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation of the phosphorylated forms of these proteins using antibodies directed to anyone of the partners of the complex. Expression of tr-kit potentiates the interaction of endogenous Sam68 also with the SH3 domain of Fyn. Furthermore, the subcellular localization of Sam68 is affected by tr-kit through activation of Fyn in live cells. Lastly, we show that interaction with the SH3 domain of Fyn triggers the release of Sam68 from bound RNA. Thus, our data suggest that tr-kit promotes the formation of a multimolecular complex composed of Fyn, PLCgamma1 and Sam68, which allows phosphorylation of PLCgamma1 by Fyn, and may modulate RNA metabolism.

Abstract
The 68 kDa Src substrate associated during mitosis (Sam68) is an RNA binding protein with Src homology (SH) 2 and 3 domain binding sites. We have recently found that Sam68 is a substrate of the insulin receptor (IR) that translocates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and that Tyr-phosphorylated Sam68 associates with the SH2 domains of p85 PI3K and GAP, in vivo and in vitro. In the present work, we have further demonstrated the cytoplasmic localization of Sam68, which is increased in cells overexpressing IR. Besides, we sought to further study the association of Sam68 with the Ras-GAP pathway by assessing the interactions with SH3 domains of Grb2. We employed GST-fusion proteins containing the SH3 domains of Grb2 (N or C), and recombinant Sam68 for in vitro studies. In vivo studies of protein-protein interaction were assessed by co-immunoprecipitation experiments with specific antibodies against Sam68, GAP, Grb2, SOS, and phosphotyrosine; and by affinity precipitation with the fusion proteins (SH3-Grb2). Insulin stimulation of HTC-IR cells promotes phosphorylation of Sam68 and its association with the SH2 domains of GAP. Sam68 is constitutively associated with the SH3 domains of Grb2 and it does not change upon insulin stimulation, but Sam68 is Tyr-phosphorylated and promotes the association of GAP with the Grb2-SOS complex. In vitro studies with fusion proteins showed that Sam68 association with Grb2 is preferentially mediated by the C-terminal SH3 domains of Grb2. In conclusion, Sam68 is a substrate of the IR and may have a role as a docking protein in IR signaling, recruiting GAP to the Grb2-SOS complex, and in this way it may modulate Ras activity.

Feuillet V, Semichon M, Restouin A, Harriague J, Janzen J, Magee A, Collette Y, Bismuth G. The distinct capacity of Fyn and Lck to phosphorylate Sam68 in T cells is essentially governed by SH3/SH2-catalytic domain linker interactions. Oncogene 2002; 21:7205-13. [PMID: 12370810 DOI: 10.1038/sj.onc.1205929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2002] [Revised: 07/28/2002] [Accepted: 08/01/2002] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Sam68 phosphorylation correlates with Fyn but not Lck expression in T cells. This substrate has been used here to explore the possible basis of the specificity of Fyn versus Lck. We show that this specificity is not based on a spatial segregation of the two kinases, since a chimeric Lck molecule containing the membrane anchoring domain of Fyn does not phosphorylate Sam68. Moreover, a Sam68 molecule targeted to the plasma membrane by the farnesylation signal of c-Ha-Ras remains poorly phosphorylated by Lck. In T cells, Fyn appears to be the active Src kinase in rafts, but Sam68 is not expressed in rafts, and its distinct phosphorylation by Fyn and Lck is not affected by raft dispersion. The Fyn/Lck specificity does not reflect a higher kinase activity of Fyn in general, as both Fyn and Lck are similarly recognized by an anti-active Src antibody. Both also strongly phosphorylate another Src substrate in vivo. Mainly, Lck phosphorylates Sam68 when the interaction between the SH3 domain and the SH2-catalytic domain linker is altered in heterologous Src molecules or after mutating key residues in the linker that increase the accessibility of the SH3 domain. Thus, the distinct potential of Fyn and Lck to phosphorylate Sam68 is likely controlled by the interaction of the kinase SH3 domain with the linker and Sam68, possibly on a competitive binding basis.

Abstract
The importance of the SH3 domain of Hck in kinase regulation, substrate phosphorylation, and ligand binding has been established. However, few in vivo ligands are known for the SH3 domain of Hck. In this study, we used mass spectrometry to identify approximately 25 potential binding partners for the SH3 domain of Hck from the monocyte cell line U937. Two major interacting proteins were the actin binding proteins Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) and WASP-interacting protein (WIP). We also focused on a novel interaction between Hck and ELMO1, an 84-kDa protein that was recently identified as the mammalian ortholog of the Caenorhabditis elegans gene, ced-12. In mammalian cells, ELMO1 interacts with Dock180 as a component of the CrkII/Dock180/Rac pathway responsible for phagocytosis and cell migration. Using purified proteins, we confirmed that WASP-interacting protein and ELMO1 interact directly with the SH3 domain of Hck. We also show that Hck and ELMO1 interact in intact cells and that ELMO1 is heavily tyrosine-phosphorylated in cells that co-express Hck, suggesting that it is a substrate of Hck. The binding of ELMO1 to Hck is specifically dependent on the interaction of a polyproline motif with the SH3 domain of Hck. Our results suggest that these proteins may be novel activators/effectors of Hck.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions play critical regulatory roles in mediating signal transduction. Previous studies have identified an unconventional, small-molecule, Src signal transduction inhibitor, UCS15A. UCS15A differed from conventional Src-inhibitors in that it did not alter the levels or the tyrosine kinase activity of Src. Our studies suggested that UCS15A exerted its Src-inhibitory effects by a novel mechanism that involved the disruption of protein-protein interactions mediated by Src. In the present study we have examined the ability of UCS15A to disrupt the interaction of Src-SH3 with Sam68, both in vivo and in vitro. This ability of UCS15A was not restricted to Src-SH3 mediated protein-protein interactions, since the drug was capable of disrupting the in vivo interactions of Sam68 with other SH3 domain containing proteins such as Grb2 and PLCgamma. In addition, UCS15A was capable of disrupting other typical SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions such as Grb2-Sos1, cortactin-ZO1, as well as atypical SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions such as Grb2-Gab1. However, UCS15A was unable to disrupt the non-SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions of beta-catenin, with E-cadherin and alpha-catenin. In addition, UCS15A had no effect on the SH2-mediated interaction between Grb2 and activated Epidermal Growth Factor receptor. Thus, the ability of UCS15A, to disrupt protein-protein interactions appeared to be restricted to SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions. In this regard, UCS15A represents the first example of a non-peptide, small molecule agent capable of disrupting SH3-mediated protein-protein interactions. In vitro analyses suggested that UCS15A did not bind to the SH3 domain itself but rather may interact directly with the target proline-rich domains.

Abstract
Detachment of epithelial cells from the extracellular matrix (ECM) results in apoptosis, a phenomenon often referred to as anoikis. Acquisition of anoikis resistance is now thought to be a prerequisite for the progression of carcinomas. Colorectal cancer cells frequently secrete epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands, which are known to have anti-apoptotic activity. However, whether these ligands have the ability to inhibit anoikis of intestinal epithelial cells is unclear, since at least in some cell types efficient EGFR signaling requires cell-ECM adhesion. Here we report that transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), an EGFR ligand that is frequently secreted by colorectal cancer cells, strongly inhibits anoikis of the non-malignant rat intestinal epithelial cell lines, IEC-18 and RIE-1. TGF-alpha exerts its anti-anoikis effect by preventing detachment-induced inhibition of c-Src kinase activity. We also show that Fas activation, a molecular event known to play a critical role in anoikis, is not suppressed by TGF-alpha. On the other hand, this growth factor strongly inhibits the detachment-induced down-regulation of Bcl-X(L), another change that is involved in the induction of anoikis. We further demonstrate that this inhibition occurs in a c-Src-dependent manner. We conclude that TGF-alpha has the ability to suppress anoikis of intestinal epithelial cells, at least in part, by reverting the loss of c-Src activity and Bcl-X(L) expression induced by detachment from the ECM.

Abstract
Src tyrosine kinase plays key roles in signal transduction following growth factor stimulation and integrin-mediated cell-substrate adhesion. Since src-signal transduction defects are implicated in a multitude of human diseases, we have sought to develop new ways to identify small molecule inhibitors using a yeast-based, activated-src over-expression system. In the present study, we describe the identification of a unique src-signal transduction inhibitor, UCS15A. UCS15A was found to inhibit the src specific tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous proteins in v-src-transformed cells. Two of these phosphoproteins were identified as bona-fide src substrates, cortactin and Sam68. UCS15A differed from conventional src-inhibitors in that it did not inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of src. In addition, UCS15A appeared to differ from src-destabilizing agents such as herbimycin and radicicol that destabilize src by interfering with Hsp90. Our studies suggest that UCS15A exerted its src-inhibitory effects by a novel mechanism that involved disruption of protein-protein interactions mediated by src. One of the biological consequences of src-inhibition by UCS15A was its ability to inhibit the bone resorption activity of osteoclasts in vitro. These data suggest that UCS15A may inhibit the bone resorption activity of osteoclasts, not by inhibiting src tyrosine kinase activity, but by disrupting the interaction of proteins associated with src, thereby modulating downstream events in the src signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
The nuclear envelope separates the nucleoplasm from the rest of the cell. Throughout the cell cycle, its structural integrity is controlled by reversible protein phosphorylation. Whereas its phosphorylation-dependent disassembly during mitosis is well characterized, little is known about phosphorylation events at this structure during interphase. The few characterized examples cover protein phosphorylation at serine and threonine residues, but not tyrosine phosphorylation at the nuclear envelope. Here, we demonstrate that tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation occur at the nuclear envelope of intact Neuro2a mouse neuroblastoma cells. Tyrosine kinase and phosphatase activities remain associated with purified nuclear envelopes. A similar pattern of tyrosine-phosphorylated nuclear envelope proteins suggests that the same tyrosine kinases act at the nuclear envelope of intact cells and at the purified nuclear envelope. We have also identified eight tyrosine-phosphorylated nuclear envelope proteins by 2D BAC/SDS/PAGE, immunoblotting with phosphotyrosine-specific antibodies, tryptic in-gel digestion, and MS analysis of tryptic peptides. These proteins are the lamina proteins lamin A, lamin B1, and lamin B2, the inner nuclear membrane protein LAP2beta, the heat shock protein hsc70, and the DNA/RNA-binding proteins PSF, hypothetical 16-kDa protein, and NonO, which copurify with the nuclear envelope.
