Abstract:
Insulin stimulates autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor on multiple tyrosines in three domains: tyrosines 1316 and 1322 in the C-terminal tail, 1146, 1150 and 1151 in the tyrosine-1150 domain, and possibly 953, 960 or 972 in the juxtamembrane domain. In the present work the sequence of dephosphorylation of the various autophosphorylation sites by particulate and cytosolic preparations of phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatase from rat liver was studied with autophosphorylated human placental insulin receptor as substrate. Both phosphatase preparations elicited a broadly similar pattern of dephosphorylation. The tyrosine-1150 domain in triphosphorylated form was found to be exquisitely sensitive to dephosphorylation, and was dephosphorylated 3-10-fold faster than the di- and monophosphorylated forms of the tyrosine-1150 domain or phosphorylation sites in other domains. The major route for dephosphorylation of the triphosphorylated tyrosine-1150 domain involved dephosphorylation of one of the phosphotyrosyl pair, 1150/1151, followed by phosphotyrosyl 1146 to generate a species monophosphorylated mainly (greater than 80%) at tyrosine 1150 or 1151. Insulin receptors monophosphorylated in the tyrosine-1150 domain disappeared slowly, and overall the other domains were completely dephosphorylated faster than the tyrosine-1150 domain. Dephosphorylation of the diphosphorylated C-terminal domain yielded insulin receptor in which the domain was singly phosphorylated at tyrosine 1322. Triphosphorylation of the insulin receptor in the tyrosine-1150 domain appears important in activating the receptor tyrosine kinase to phosphorylate other proteins. The extreme sensitivity of the triphosphorylated form of the tyrosine-1150 domain to dephosphorylation may thus be important in terminating or regulating insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase action and insulin signalling.

Abstract:
A model of insulin-receptor down-regulation and desensitization has been developed and described. In this model, both insulin-receptor down-regulation and functional desensitization are induced in the human HepG2 cell line by a 16 h exposure of the cells to 0.1 microM-insulin. Insulin-receptor affinity is unchanged, but receptor number is decreased by 50%, as determined both by 125I-insulin binding and by protein immunoblotting with an antibody to the beta-subunit of the receptor. This down-regulation is accompanied by a disproportionate loss of insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis, yielding a population of cell-surface insulin receptors which bind insulin normally but which are unable to mediate insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis within the cell. Upon binding of insulin, the desensitized receptors are internalized rapidly, with characteristics indistinguishable from those of control cells. In contrast, this desensitization is accompanied by a loss of the insulin-sensitive tyrosine kinase activity of insulin receptors isolated from these cells. Receptors isolated from control cells show a 5-25-fold enhancement of autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit by insulin; this insulin-responsive autophosphorylation is severely attenuated after desensitization to a maximum of 0-2-fold stimulation by insulin. Likewise, the receptor-mediated phosphorylation of exogenous angiotensin II, which is stimulated 2-10-fold by insulin in receptors from control cells, is completely unresponsive to insulin in desensitized cells. These data provide evidence that the insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase activity correlates with insulin stimulation of an intracellular metabolic event. The data suggest that receptor endocytosis is not sufficient to mediate insulin's effects, and thereby argue for a role of the receptor tyrosine kinase activity in the mediation of insulin action.

Abstract:
We have investigated the role of tyrosine residues in the insulin receptor cytoplasmic juxtamembrane region (Tyr953 and Tyr960) during endocytosis. Analysis of the secondary structure of the juxtamembrane region by the Chou-Fasman algorithms predicts that both the sequences GPLY953 and NPEY960 form tyrosine-containing beta-turns. Similarly, analysis of model peptides by 1-D and 2-D NMR show that these sequences form beta-turns in solution, whereas replacement of the tyrosine residues with alanine destabilizes the beta-turn. CHO cell lines were prepared expressing mutant receptors in which each tyrosine was mutated to phenylalanine or alanine, and an additional mutant contained alanine at both positions. These mutations had no effect on insulin binding or receptor autophosphorylation. Replacements with phenylalanine had no effect on the rate of [125I]insulin endocytosis, whereas single substitutions with alanine reduced [125I]insulin endocytosis by 40-50%. Replacement of both tyrosines with alanine reduced internalization by 70%. These data suggest that the insulin receptor contains two tyrosine/beta-turns which contribute independently and additively to insulin-stimulated endocytosis.

Abstract:
1. Insulin receptors were partially purified from rat liver by chromatography on wheat-germ-lectin-Sepharose. Incubation with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of insulin resulted in increased phosphorylation of the beta-subunit on both tyrosine and serine residues. Two-dimensional mapping of tryptic peptides showed that, in agreement with previous studies using preparations of receptors from other sources, the tyrosine residues involved were the three tyrosines in the kinase domain (corresponding to tyrosines 1158, 1162 and 1163 of the human receptor) plus two tyrosines close to the C-terminus (corresponding to tyrosines 1328 and 1334). 2. The effects of insulin on the phosphorylation of receptors within intact rat liver cells were determined by incubating cells in the presence of [32P]Pi for 50 min and then with or without insulin for a further 10 min. The labelled receptors were then rapidly isolated by sequential use of wheat-germ-lectin-Sepharose chromatography and immuno-isolation using a monoclonal antibody to the C-terminal end of the beta-subunit. 3. Insulin was found to increase overall phosphorylation of the receptor nearly 3-fold. Two-dimensional mapping was then carried out in combination with phosphoamino acid analysis. This revealed that the pattern of phosphorylation of the receptors in cells incubated in the absence and presence of insulin exhibited a number of marked differences from that observed in previous studies on intact cells, which had been restricted to cells expressing very high levels of insulin receptors such as certain hepatoma-derived cells or cells transfected with insulin receptor cDNA. The differences in the effects of insulin included a larger increase in the proportion of receptors being phosphorylated on the three tyrosine residues of the kinase domain, no apparent phosphorylation of the two tyrosine residues close to the C-terminus and no increase in either threonine or overall serine phosphorylation. 4. The receptors appeared to be phosphorylated on a number of different serine residues in cells incubated in the absence of insulin. Evidence for both increases and decreases in the phosphorylation of specific serine residues on addition of insulin was obtained. 5. It is concluded that care should be taken when extrapolating findings on the phosphorylation of the insulin receptor within cultured cells to more physiological situations.

Abstract:
H2O2 and vanadate are known insulinomimetic agents. Together they induce insulin's bioeffects with a potency which exceeds that seen with insulin, vanadate or H2O2 alone. We have previously shown that a combination of H2O2 and vanadate, when added to intact cells, rapidly stimulates protein tyrosine phosphorylation, owing to the inhibitory effects of these agents on intracellular protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). Employing Western blotting with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, we have now identified in Chinese-hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with a wild-type insulin-receptor gene (CHO.T cells) several proteins (e.g. pp180, 125, 100, 60 and 52) whose phosphotyrosine content is rapidly increased upon treatment of the cells with a combination of insulin and 3 mM-H2O2. Tyrosine phosphorylation of these and additional proteins was further potentiated when 100 microM-sodium orthovanadate was added together with H2O2. The effects of insulin, insulin/H2O2, and H2O2/vanadate on tyrosine phosphorylation were markedly decreased in CHO cells transfected with an insulin-receptor gene where the twin tyrosines 1162 and 1163 were replaced with phenylalanine (CHO.YF-3 cells). Similarly, most of these proteins failed to undergo enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation in parental CHO cells incubated in the presence of insulin or the insulinomimetic agents. Our findings suggest that inhibition of PTPase activity by H2O2/vanadate augments the autophosphorylation of tyrosines 1162 and 1163 of the insulin receptor kinase, leading to its activation in an insulin-independent manner. As a result, tyrosine phosphorylation of potential targets for this enzyme takes place. Failure of H2O2/vanadate to induce phosphorylation of these proteins in receptor mutants lacking these twin tyrosine residues supports this hypothesis.

Abstract:
Fluoride is a nucleophilic reagent which has been reported to inhibit a variety of different enzymes such as esterases, asymmetrical hydrolases and phosphatases. In this report, we demonstrate that fluoride inhibits tyrosine kinase activity of insulin receptors partially purified from rat skeletal muscle and human placenta. Fluoride inhibited in a similar dose-dependent manner both beta-subunit autophosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activity for exogenous substrates. This inhibitory effect of fluoride was not due to the formation of complexes with aluminum and took place in the absence of modifications of insulin-binding properties of the insulin receptor. Fluoride did not complete with the binding site for ATP or Mn2+. Fluoride also inhibited the autophosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activity of receptors for insulin-like growth factor I from human placenta. Addition of fluoride to the pre-phosphorylated insulin receptor produced a slow (time range of minutes) inhibition of receptor kinase activity. Furthermore, fluoride inhibited tyrosine kinase activity in the absence of changes in the phosphorylation of prephosphorylated insulin receptors, and the sensitivity to fluoride was similar to the sensitivity of the unphosphorylated insulin receptor. The effect of fluoride-on tyrosine kinase activity was markedly decreased when insulin receptors were preincubated with the copolymer of glutamate/tyrosine. Prior exposure of receptors to free tyrosine or phosphotyrosine also prevented the inhibitory effect of fluoride. However, the protective effect of tyrosine or phosphotyrosine was maximal at low concentrations, suggesting the interaction of these compounds with the receptor itself rather than with fluoride. These data suggest: (i) that fluoride interacts directly and slowly with the insulin receptor, which causes inhibition of its phosphotransferase activity; (ii) that the binding site of fluoride is not structurally modified by receptor phosphorylation; and (iii) based on the fact that fluoride inhibits phosphotransferase activity in the absence of alterations in the binding of ATP, Mn2+ or insulin, we speculate that fluoride binding might affect the transfer of phosphate from ATP to the tyrosine residues of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor and to the tyrosine residues of exogenous substrates.

Abstract:
H-35 rat hepatoma cells were labelled with [32P]orthophosphate and their insulin receptors isolated on wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-agarose and anti-(insulin receptor) serum. The incubation of these cells with 10 mM-H2O2 for 10 min increased the phosphorylation of both the serine and tyrosine residues of the beta subunit of the insulin receptor. Next, insulin receptors were purified on WGA-agarose from control and H2O2-treated H-35 cells and the purified fractions incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and Mn2+. Phosphorylation of the beta subunit of insulin receptors obtained from H2O2-treated cells was 150% of that of control cells. The kinase activity of the WGA-purified receptor preparation obtained from H2O2-treated cells, as measured by phosphorylation of src-related synthetic peptide, was increased about 4-fold over control cells. These data suggest that in intact cell systems, H2O2 may increase the insulin receptor kinase activity by inducing phosphorylation of the beta subunit of insulin receptor.

Abstract:
The Drosophila insulin receptor (DIR) contains a 368-amino-acid COOH-terminal extension that contains several tyrosine phosphorylation sites in YXXM motifs. This extension is absent from the human insulin receptor but resembles a region in insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins which binds to the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and mediates mitogenesis. The function of a chimeric DIR containing the human insulin receptor binding domain (hDIR) was investigated in 32D cells, which contain few insulin receptors and no IRS proteins. Insulin stimulated tyrosine autophosphorylation of the human insulin receptor and hDIR, and both receptors mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc and activated mitogen-activated protein kinase. IRS-1 was required by the human insulin receptor to activate PI 3-kinase and p70s6k, whereas hDIR associated with PI 3-kinase and activated p70s6k without IRS-1. However, both receptors required IRS-1 to mediate insulin-stimulated mitogenesis. These data demonstrate that the DIR possesses additional signaling capabilities compared with its mammalian counterpart but still requires IRS-1 for the complete insulin response in mammalian cells.

Abstract:
Previous studies, by ourselves and others, have shown that tyrosine residues 1158, 1162 and 1163 are very rapidly autophosphorylated on the human insulin receptor after insulin binding and that this is followed by the autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues 1328 and 1334. The autophosphorylation of these tyrosine residues, and their role in transmembrane signalling, were examined by using Chinese-hamster ovary cells transfected with either normal intact insulin receptors or receptors in which tyrosine residues 1162 or 1162/1163 were substituted with phenylalanine. These studies show the following. (1) Tyrosine-1158 could still be autophosphorylated when tyrosine-1162 and -1163 were substituted with phenylalanine. (2) Insulin-stimulated insulin-receptor tyrosine phosphorylation in intact cells was complete within 30 s and was accompanied, after a lag of 2-5 min, by a rise in serine and threonine phosphorylation the beta-subunit. (3) Replacement of tyrosine-1162 with phenylalanine blocked insulin-stimulated threonine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor in intact cells. (4) Insulin-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the beta-subunit was found in both intact cells and partially purified receptor preparations incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP and was still apparent after the replacement of tyrosine-1162 with phenylalanine. (5) Our data strongly suggest that insulin-stimulated insulin-receptor serine and threonine phosphorylations are initiated through two distinct pathways, with only the latter showing a strict dependence on autophosphorylation of tyrosine-1162.

Abstract:
To explain the insulin resistance induced by catecholamines, we studied the tyrosine kinase activity of insulin receptors in a state characterized by elevated noradrenaline concentrations in vivo, i.e. cold-acclimation. Insulin receptors were partially purified from brown adipose tissue of 3-week- or 48 h-cold-acclimated mice. Insulin-stimulated receptor autophosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activity of insulin receptors prepared from cold-acclimated mice were decreased. Since the effect of noradrenaline is mediated by cyclic AMP and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, we tested the effect of the purified catalytic subunit of this enzyme on insulin receptors purified by wheat-germ agglutinin chromatography. The catalytic subunit had no effect on basal phosphorylation, but completely inhibited the insulin-stimulated receptor phosphorylation. Similarly, receptor kinase activity towards exogenous substrates such as histone or a tyrosine-containing copolymer was abolished. This inhibitory effect was observed with receptors prepared from brown adipose tissue, isolated hepatocytes and skeletal muscle. The same results were obtained on epidermal-growth-factor receptors. Further, the catalytic subunit exerted a comparable effect on the phosphorylation of highly purified insulin receptors. To explain this inhibition, we were able to rule out the following phenomena: a change in insulin binding, a change in the Km of the enzyme for ATP, activation of a phosphatase activity present in the insulin-receptor preparation, depletion of ATP, and phosphorylation of a serine residue of the receptor. These results suggest that the alteration in the insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase activity induced by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase could contribute to the insulin resistance produced by catecholamines.

Abstract:
The effects of insulin and anti-(insulin receptor) monoclonal antibodies on tyrosine phosphorylation were investigated in fibroblasts transfected with human insulin receptor cDNA (NIH 3T3HIR3.5 cells) using anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblotting. Insulin increased levels of tyrosine phosphorylation in two major proteins of molecular mass 97 kDa (pp97, assumed to be the insulin receptor beta-subunit) and 185 kDa (pp185). Insulin-mimetic anti-receptor antibodies also stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of both pp97 and pp185. The observation of antibody-stimulated pp97 phosphorylation, as detected by immunoblotting, is in contrast with previous data which failed to show receptor autophosphorylation in NIH 3T3HIR3.5 cells labelled with [32P]P1. The effect of insulin on pp97 was maximal within 1 min, but the response to antibody was apparent only after a lag of 1-2 min and rose steadily over 20 min. The absolute level of antibody-stimulated phosphorylation of both pp97 and pp185 after 20 min was only about 20% of the maximum level induced by equivalent concentrations of insulin, even at concentrations of antibody sufficient for full occupancy of receptors. Another insulin-mimetic agent, wheat-germ agglutinin, stimulated receptor autophosphorylation with kinetics similar to those produced by the antibody. It is suggested that the relatively slow responses to both agents may be a function of the dependence on receptor cross-linking. These data are consistent with a role for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity in the mechanism of action of insulin-mimetic anti-receptor antibodies.

Abstract:
The insulin receptor is a member of the ligand-activated receptor and tyrosine kinase family of transmembrane signaling proteins that collectively are fundamentally important regulators of cell differentiation, growth, and metabolism. The insulin receptor has a number of unique physiological and biochemical properties that distinguish it from other members of this large well-studied receptor family. The main physiological role of the insulin receptor appears to be metabolic regulation, whereas all other receptor tyrosine kinases are engaged in regulating cell growth and/or differentiation. Receptor tyrosine kinases are allosterically regulated by their cognate ligands and function as dimers. In all cases but the insulin receptor (and 2 closely related receptors), these dimers are noncovalent, but insulin receptors are covalently maintained as functional dimers by disulfide bonds. The initial response to the ligand is receptor autophosphorylation for all receptor tyrosine kinases. In most cases, this results in receptor association of effector molecules that have unique recognition domains for phosphotyrosine residues and whose binding to these results in a biological response. For the insulin receptor, this does not occur; rather, it phosphorylates a large substrate protein that, in turn, engages effector molecules. Possible reasons for these differences are discussed in this review. The chemistry of insulin is very well characterized because of possible therapeutic interventions in diabetes using insulin derivatives. This has allowed the synthesis of many insulin derivatives, and we review our recent exploitation of one such derivative to understand the biochemistry of the interaction of this ligand with the receptor and to dissect the complicated steps of ligand-induced insulin receptor autophosphorylation. We note possible future directions in the study of the insulin receptor and its intracellular signaling pathway(s).

Abstract:
The insulin receptor is an integral membrane glycoprotein (Mr approximately 300,000) composed of two alpha-subunits (Mr approximately 130,000) and two beta-subunits (Mr approximately 95,000) linked by disulphide bonds. This oligomeric structure divides the receptor into two functional domains such that alpha-subunits bind insulin and beta-subunits possess tyrosine kinase activity. The amino acid sequence deduced from cDNA of the single polypeptide chain precursor of human placental insulin receptor revealed that alpha- and beta-subunits consist of 735 and 620 residues, respectively. The alpha-subunit is hydrophilic, disulphide-bonded, glycosylated and probably extracellular. The beta-subunit consists of a short extracellular region which links the alpha-subunit through disulphide bridges, a hydrophobic transmembrane region and a longer cytoplasmic region which is structurally homologous with other tyrosine kinases like the src oncogene product and EGF receptor kinases. The cellular function of insulin receptors is dual: transmembrane signalling and endocytosis of hormone. The binding of insulin to its receptor on the cell membrane induces transfer of signal from extracellular to cytoplasmic receptor domains leading to activation of cell metabolism and growth. In addition, hormone-receptor complexes are internalized leading to intracellular proteolysis of insulin, whereas receptors are recycled to the membrane. These phenomena are kinetically well-characterized, but their molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Insulin receptor in different tissues and animal species are homologous in their structure and function, but show also significant differences regarding size of alpha-subunits, binding kinetics, insulin specificity and receptor-mediated degradation. We suggest that this heterogeneity of receptors may be linked to the diversity in insulin effects on metabolism and growth in various cell types. The purified insulin receptor phosphorylates its own beta-subunit and exogenous protein and peptide substrates on tyrosine residues, a reaction which is insulin-sensitive, Mn2+-dependent and specific for ATP. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the beta-subunit activates receptor kinase activity, and dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase deactivates the kinase. In intact cells or impure receptor preparations, a serine kinase is also activated by insulin. The cellular role of two kinase activities associated with the insulin receptor is not known, but we propose that the tyrosine- and serine-specific kinases mediate insulin actions on metabolism and growth either through dual-signalling or sequential pathways.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract:
Insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activation, induced by insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation, was measured using a synthetic peptide containing residues 1142-1153 of the insulin receptor and shown to be reversed by both particulate and soluble phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatases from rat liver. Deactivation of the tyrosine kinase was highly sensitive to phosphatase action and was correlated best with disappearance of insulin receptors triphosphorylated in the tyrosine-1150 domain. Dephosphorylation of the di- and mono-phosphorylated forms of the tyrosine-1150 domain generated during dephosphorylation or of phosphorylation sites in the C-terminal or putative juxta-membrane domains occurred 3- greater than 10-fold more slowly than deactivation of the tyrosine kinase, and these phosphorylated species did not appear to appreciably (less than 20%) contribute to tyrosine kinase activation. These results indicate that the transition from the triply to the doubly phosphorylated form of the tyrosine-1150 domain acts as an important switch for deactivation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase during dephosphorylation. The exquisite sensitivity of this dephosphorylation/deactivation event to phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase action, combined with the high affinities of this phosphatases for substrates and the high activities of the phosphatases in cells, suggests that the tyrosine kinase activity expressed by insulin-stimulated insulin receptors is likely to be stringently regulated.

Abstract:
We previously reported that insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of obese individuals was associated with decreases in insulin signal transduction and tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor. Herein is reviewed the recently published data supporting the hypothesis that protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylates the insulin receptor on serine/threonine residues to decrease tyrosine kinase activity and cause insulin resistance. Treatment of insulin receptors from obese subjects with alkaline phosphatase restored tyrosine kinase activity, suggesting that the reduced activity was a result of hyperphosphorylation of the receptor. Incubating human muscle fiber strips with PKC inhibitors restored insulin action in muscle of obese patients, while activating PKC with a phorbol ester caused insulin resistance in muscle from lean control patients. The beta isoform of PKC was elevated in muscle of obese, insulin-resistant patients. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that elevated PKC activity may cause insulin resistance by phosphorylating the insulin receptor to decrease tyrosine kinase activity.

Abstract:
A line of Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing protein kinase C alpha was transfected with cDNAs encoding either the wild-type human insulin receptor or one of two mutant insulin receptors with either Ser-967 and -968 or -974 and -976 in the juxtamembrane region changed to alanine. Both mutant receptors exhibited normal insulin-activated tyrosine kinase activity as assessed by either autophosphorylation or insulin-stimulated increases in anti-phosphotyrosine-precipitable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The wild-type and mutant insulin receptors were also examined for serine and threonine phosphorylation in response to insulin and activation of protein kinase C. To visualize Ser/Thr-phosphorylation sites of the receptor better in response to insulin, the receptor from in vivo-labelled insulin-treated cells was first treated with a tyrosine-specific phosphatase to remove all tyrosine phosphorylation. Phosphopeptides from the three receptors were analysed by high-percentage polyacrylamide/urea gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional t.l.c. The mutant receptor lacking Ser-967 and -968 but not the mutant lacking Ser-974 and -976 was found to be missing phosphorylated peptides in response to insulin and, to a lesser extent, after activation of protein kinase C. However, the insulin-stimulated increase in anti-phosphotyrosine-precipitable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase was inhibited to the same extent by activation of protein kinase C in cells expressing the two mutant receptors as in cells expressing the wild-type receptor. These results indicate that these four serine residues in the juxtamembrane region are not major regulatory sites of the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor by protein kinase C, although Ser-967 and/or -968 appear to be phosphorylated in response to insulin.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT APS is a Cbl-binding protein that is tyrosine phosphorylated by the insulin receptor kinase. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of tyrosine 618 in APS is necessary for its association with c-Cbl and the subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl by the insulin receptor in both 3T3-L1 adipocytes and CHO-IR cells. When overexpressed in these cells, wild-type APS but not an APS/Y618F mutant facilitated the tyrosine phosphorylation of coexpressed Cbl and its association with Crk upon insulin stimulation. APS-facilitated phosphorylation occurred on tyrosines 371, 700, and 774 in the Cbl protein. APS also interacted directly with the c-Cbl-associated protein (CAP) and colocalized with the protein in cells. The association was dependent on the SH3 domains of CAP and was independent of insulin treatment. Overexpression of the APS/Y618F mutant in 3T3-L1 adipocytes blocked the insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of endogenous Cbl and binding to Crk. Moreover, the translocation of GLUT4 from intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane was also inhibited by overexpression of the APS/Y618F mutant. These data suggest that APS serves as an adapter protein linking the CAP/Cbl pathway to the insulin receptor and, further, that APS-facilitated Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation catalyzed by the insulin receptor is a crucial event in the stimulation of glucose transport by insulin.

Abstract:
We studied the phosphorylation of the beta subunit of the insulin receptor in intact freshly isolated rat hepatocytes, labelled with [32P]Pi. Insulin receptors partially purified by wheat-germ agglutinin chromatography were immunoprecipitated with either antibodies to insulin receptor or antibodies to phosphotyrosine. Receptors derived from cells incubated in the absence of insulin contained only phosphoserine. Addition of insulin to hepatocytes led to a dose-dependent increase in receptor beta-subunit phosphorylation, with half-maximal stimulation being observed at 2 nM-insulin. Incubation of cells with 100 nM-insulin showed that, within 1 min of exposure to the hormone, maximal receptor phosphorylation occurred, which was followed by a slight decrease and then a plateau. This insulin-induced stimulation of its receptor phosphorylation was largely accounted for by phosphorylation on tyrosine residues. Sequential immunoprecipitation of receptor with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies and with anti-receptor antibodies, and phosphoamino acid analysis of the immunoprecipitated receptors, revealed that receptors that failed to undergo tyrosine phosphorylation were phosphorylated on serine residues. The demonstration of a functional hormone-sensitive insulin-receptor kinase in normal cells strongly supports a role for this receptor enzymic activity in mediating biological effects of insulin.

Abstract:
Insulin stimulates the autophosphorylation of the partially purified insulin receptor initially on tyrosine residues 1146, 1150 and 1151. This is followed by increased autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues 1316, 1322 and two further residues, possibly tyrosine residues 953 and 960 or 972 [Tavaré & Denton (1988) Biochem. J. 252, 607-615]. In the present paper we have used two cell lines transfected with insulin-receptor cDNA (CHO.T and NIH 3T3 HIR3.5 cells) to assess which tyrosine residues are phosphorylated on the insulin receptor within intact cells. We show that: (1) insulin causes a rapid increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine residues 1146, 1150 and 1151 in both cell types; tyrosine residues 1316 and 1322 are also phosphorylated, but apparently to a lesser extent in NIH 3T3 HIR3.5 cells; (2) the sites that may correspond to tyrosine residues 953 and 960 or 972 appear to be very poorly phosphorylated in both intact cell types; (3) insulin also promotes a substantial and rapid increase in the phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues on insulin receptors on CHO.T cells; this results in the appearance of two phosphopeptides not evident in the maps of the solubilized receptor preparations autophosphorylated in vitro.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Signaling molecules downstream from the insulin receptor, such as the insulin receptor substrate protein 1 (IRS-1), are also activated by other receptor tyrosine kinases. Here we demonstrate that the non-receptor tyrosine kinases, focal adhesion kinase pp125FAK and Src-class kinase pp59Lyn, after insulin-independent activation by phosphoinositolglycans (PIG), can cross talk to metabolic insulin signaling in rat and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Introduction by electroporation of neutralizing antibodies against pp59Lyn and pp125FAK into isolated rat adipocytes blocked IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in response to PIG but not insulin. Introduction of peptides encompassing either the major autophosphorylation site of pp125FAK, tyrosine 397, or its regulatory loop with the twin tyrosines 576 and 577 inhibited PIG-induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and glucose transport. PIG-induced pp59Lyn kinase activation and pp125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation were impaired by the former and latter peptide, respectively. Up-regulation of pp125FAK by integrin clustering diminished PIG-induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and glucose transport in nonadherent but not adherent adipocytes. In conclusion, PIG induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation by causing (integrin antagonized) recruitment of IRS-1 and pp59Lyn to the common signaling platform molecule pp125FAK, where cross talk of PIG-like structures and extracellular matrix proteins to metabolic insulin signaling may converge, possibly for the integration of the demands of glucose metabolism and cell architecture.

Abstract:
1. A partially purified preparation of human placental insulin receptors was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence or absence of insulin. The 32P-labelled insulin-receptor beta-subunits were then isolated, cleaved with trypsin followed by protease V8 and the [32P]phosphopeptides generated were analysed by thin layer electrophoresis and chromatography. This approach revealed that insulin stimulates autophosphorylation of the insulin-receptor beta-subunit in vitro on at least seven tyrosine residues distributed among three distinct domains. 2. One domain (domain 2), containing tyrosine residues 1146, 1150 and 1151 was the most rapidly phosphorylated and could be recovered as mono-, di- and triphosphorylated peptides cleaved by trypsin at Arg-1143 and either Lys-1153 or Lys-1156. Multiple phosphorylation of this domain appears to partially inhibit the cleavage at Lys-1153 by trypsin. 3. In a second domain (domain 3) containing two phosphorylated tyrosine residues at positions 1316 and 1322 the tyrosines were phosphorylated more slowly than those in domain 2. This domain is close to the C-terminus of the beta-subunit polypeptide chain. 4. At least two further tyrosine residues appeared to be phosphorylated after those in domains 2 and 3. These residues probably residue within a domain lying in close proximity to the inner face of the plasma membrane containing tyrosines 953, 960 and 972, but conclusive evidence is still required. 5. The two-dimensional thin-layer analysis employed in this study to investigate insulin-receptor phosphorylation has several advantages over previous methods based on reverse-phase chromatography. It allows greater resolution of 32P-labelled tryptic peptides and, when coupled to radioautography, is considerably more sensitive. The approach can be readily adapted to study phosphorylation of the insulin receptor within intact cells.

Abstract High dietary fat intake causes glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in man and in laboratory rats. We studied possible mechanisms of this insulin resistance in rat kidney, muscle and liver. In high-fat fed rats the body weight, plasma insulin concentration, plasma glucose levels, and serum triglyceride concentration were significantly higher than in the control rats. 125I-insulin binding to kidney basolateral membrane insulin receptors from high-fat fed rats was lower than in control rats. Basal as well as insulin-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity per insulin receptor was higher in the highfat fed group, accompanied by increased autophosphorylation of the β-subunit of the receptor and higher proportion of tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptors. In contrast, both in the skeletal muscle and the liver the insulin-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity per insulin receptor was significantly lower in high-fat fed animals, accompanied by diminished autophosphorylation of the β-subunit of the receptor and lower proportion of tyrosinephosphorylated receptors. Our results indicate tissue-specific alterations in transmembrane signaling induced by high-fat feeding in target tissues for insulin which in turn might contribute to the observed insulin resistance.

Abstract:
Following insulin administration to intact rats, the insulin receptor kinase activity of subsequently isolated cell fractions was significantly augmented. Of interest was the observation that the endosomal insulin receptor tyrosine kinase displayed four- to six-fold greater autophosphorylation activity than that of plasma membrane. Surprisingly, the endosomal insulin receptor tyrosine kinase displayed a decrease in β-subunit phosphotyrosine content compared with that seen in the plasma membrane. These observations prompted the suggestion that insulin receptor tyrosine kinase phosphotyrosine dephosphorylation mediated by an endosome-specific phosphotyrosine phosphatase(s) yields activation of the endosomal insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. In a previous study we examined the effect of subsaturating doses of injected insulin. In this work we evaluated insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity and phosphotyrosine content in plasma membrane and endosomes after a receptor-saturating pharmacological dose of insulin (150 μg/100 g body weight). At this dose the phosphotyrosine content per receptor was reduced compared with that seen earlier at insulin doses of 1.5 and 15 μg/100 g body weight. Endosomal insulin receptor tyrosine kinase was greater than that seen at the lower nonsaturating insulin doses. Furthermore, endosomal insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity exceeded that of the plasma membrane, despite retaining about the same phosphotyrosine content per receptor. These data are consistent with the view that insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity may be regulated by a particular pattern of phosphotyrosine content on the β-subunit wherein both activating and inhibitory phosphotyrosine residues play a role.Key words: insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, autophosphorylation, endosomes, plasma membrane, phosphotyrosine phosphatases.

Abstract:
In this study, the relationship between the concentration of extracellular insulin, insulin binding and insulin action was evaluated in skeletal muscle. Initially we investigated the dose-response relationship of insulin action using three different experimental models that are responsive to insulin, i.e. the isolated perfused rat hindquarter, incubated strips of soleus muscle, and insulin receptors partially affinity-purified from skeletal muscle. We selected as insulin-sensitive parameters glucose uptake in the perfused hindquarter, lactate production in the incubated muscle preparation, and tyrosine receptor kinase activity in the purified receptor preparation. Our results showed that the dose-response curves obtained in the perfused hindquarter and in the incubated muscle were superimposable. In contrast, the dose-response curve for insulin-stimulated receptor tyrosine kinase activity in partially purified receptors was displaced to the left compared with the curves obtained in the perfused hindquarter and in the incubated muscle. The differences between the dose-response curve for receptor tyrosine kinase and those for glucose uptake and lactate production were not explained by a substantial insulin concentration gradient between medium and interstitial space. Thus the medium/interstitial insulin concentration ratio, when assayed in the incubated intact muscle at 5 degrees C, was close to 1. We also compared the dose-response curve of insulin-stimulated receptor tyrosine kinase with the pattern of insulin-binding-site occupancy. The curve of insulin-stimulated receptor kinase activity fitted closely with the occupancy of high-affinity binding sites. In summary, assuming that the estimation of the medium/interstitial insulin concentration ratio obtained at 5 degrees C reflects the actual ratio under more physiological conditions, our results suggest that maximal insulin action is obtained in skeletal muscle at insulin concentrations which do allow full occupancy of high-affinity binding sites. Therefore our data provide evidence for a lack of spare high-affinity insulin receptors in skeletal muscle.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In L6 myoblasts, insulin receptors with deletion of the C-terminal 43 amino acids (IRΔ43) exhibited normal autophosphorylation and IRS-1/2 tyrosine phosphorylation. The L6 cells expressing IRΔ43 (L6IRΔ43) also showed no insulin effect on glucose uptake and glycogen synthase, accompanied by a >80% decrease in insulin induction of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK-1) activity and tyrosine phosphorylation and of protein kinase B (PKB) phosphorylation at Thr308. Insulin induced the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-dependent coprecipitation of PDK-1 with wild-type IR (IRWT), but not IRΔ43. Based on overlay blotting, PDK-1 directly bound IRWT, but not IRΔ43. Insulin-activated IRWT, and not IRΔ43, phosphorylated PDK-1 at tyrosines 9, 373, and 376. The IR C-terminal 43-amino-acid peptide (C-terminal peptide) inhibited in vitro PDK-1 tyrosine phosphorylation by the IR. Tyr→Phe substitution prevented this inhibitory action. In the L6hIR cells, the C-terminal peptide coprecipitated with PDK-1 in an insulin-stimulated fashion. This peptide simultaneously impaired the insulin effect on PDK-1 coprecipitation with IRWT, on PDK-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, on PKB phosphorylation at Thr308, and on glucose uptake. Upon insulin exposure, PDK-1 membrane persistence was significantly reduced in L6IRΔ43 compared to control cells. In L6 cells expressing IRWT, the C-terminal peptide also impaired insulin-dependent PDK-1 membrane persistence. Thus, PDK-1 directly binds to the insulin receptor, followed by PDK-1 activation and insulin metabolic effects.

Abstract:
Fasting causes insulin resistance in liver and fat, and increases insulin sensitivity in muscle. We studied the response in vitro and in vivo to insulin of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in muscle and liver from 72 h fasted and control rats. Insulin was injected intraperitoneally together with glucose, and blood and tissue samples were obtained 0, 5, 15 and 30 min later. Basal serum glucose and insulin levels were significantly higher in control than in fasting rats. Serum glucose rose to approximately 300 mg/dl at 5 min and then progressively declined without hypoglycaemia. Receptors were prepared from whole tissue by wheat germ lectin affinity chromatography. 125I-insulin binding to purified receptors was increased by fasting in both muscle (18%) and liver (50%). In untreated fasting and control animals, muscle and liver insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity was stimulated to similar levels by insulin added in vitro. With only insulin treatment in vivo, muscle receptor tyrosine kinase behaved similarly in fasting and control animals with maximal activation at 15 min post injection. In liver, insulin in vivo stimulated receptor tyrosine kinase activity maximally at 5 min post injection in both fasting and control, but in fasting animals the treatment in vivo caused a significantly larger and more prolonged activation of the enzymic activity, possibly due to a decrease in the rate of dephosphorylation and deactivation of the beta subunits.

Abstract:
The SH2B family has three members (SH2B1, SH2B2, and SH2B3) that contain conserved dimerization (DD), pleckstrin homology, and SH2 domains. The DD domain mediates the formation of homo- and heterodimers between members of the SH2B family. The SH2 domain of SH2B1 (previously named SH2-B) or SH2B2 (previously named APS) binds to phosphorylated tyrosines in a variety of tyrosine kinases, including Janus kinase-2 (JAK2) and the insulin receptor, thereby promoting the activation of JAK2 or the insulin receptor, respectively. JAK2 binds to various members of the cytokine receptor family, including receptors for GH and leptin, to mediate cytokine responses. In mice, SH2B1 regulates energy and glucose homeostasis by enhancing leptin and insulin sensitivity. In this work, we identify SH2B2β as a new isoform of SH2B2 (designated as SH2B2α) derived from the SH2B2 gene by alternative mRNA splicing. SH2B2β has a DD and pleckstrin homology domain but lacks a SH2 domain. SH2B2β bound to both SH2B1 and SH2B2α, as demonstrated by both the interaction of glutathione S-transferase-SH2B2β fusion protein with SH2B1 or SH2B2α in vitro and coimmunoprecipitation of SH2B2β with SH2B1 or SH2B2α in intact cells. SH2B2β markedly attenuated the ability of SH2B1 to promote JAK2 activation and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 by JAK2. SH2B2β also significantly inhibited SH2B1- or SH2B2α-promoted insulin signaling, including insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1. These data suggest that SH2B2β is an endogenous inhibitor of SH2B1 and/or SH2B2α, negatively regulating insulin signaling and/or JAK2-mediated cellular responses.

Abstract:
Anti-peptide antibodies directed against a highly-conserved sequence of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase domain have been used to study the relationship between this specific region and kinase activation. Antibodies have been prepared by the injection into a rabbit of a synthetic peptide (P2) corresponding to residues 1110-1125 of the proreceptor. The peptide exhibits 88-95% sequence similarity with the corresponding sequence in the v-ros protein and in receptors for epidermal growth factor and for insulin-like growth factor 1. Two antibodies with different specificities could be separated from total antiserum obtained after immunization with P2. One antibody [anti-(P-Tyr)] cross-reacted with phosphotyrosine and immunoprecipitated solely autophosphorylated receptors. This antibody was shown to increase or decrease the receptor tyrosine kinase activity depending on its concentration. In all circumstances receptor autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation were modulated in a parallel fashion. The second antibody (anti-P2) failed to immunoprecipitate the insulin receptor, but was found to interact with both the peptide and the receptor by e.l.i.s.a. assay. Using a tyrosine co-polymer we found that anti-P2 activated the insulin receptor kinase leading to substrate phosphorylation at a level similar to that observed with insulin. This effect was additive to the hormonal effect. In contrast, receptor autophosphorylation was not modified by the anti-peptide. The differential effect of this anti-peptide further supports the idea that receptor autophosphorylation and kinase activity towards exogenous substrates might be independently regulated. Finally, our data suggest that conformational changes in the receptor tyrosine kinase domain may be sufficient for activation of its enzymic activity.

Abstract:
The docking protein p130cas (Crk-associated substrate) forms a stable complex with the adaptor protein CrkII in a tyrosine-phosphorylation-dependent manner. Insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrates results in the redistribution of CrkII between p130cas and insulin receptor substrate-1. A decrease in the association between CrkII and p130cas in response to insulin stimulation was detected in CHO cells stably expressing insulin receptor or insulin receptor substrate-1, and in L6 rat myoblasts. Along with the decrease in the association of CrkII with p130cas, the amount of tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate-1 co-precipitated with CrkII increased in all cell types studied. The insulin-induced decrease in the CrkII–p130cas association was further confirmed by Far Western Blot analysis with the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of CrkII. Insulin regulates the association of CrkII with p130cas by tyrosine dephosphorylation of p130cas and co-ordinated tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1. Tyrosine-phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate-1 serves as a docking protein for multiple adaptor proteins and competes with p130cas for CrkII.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Grb10 adapter protein is capable of interacting with a variety of receptor tyrosine kinases, including, notably, the insulin receptor. Biochemical and cell culture experiments have indicated that Grb10 might act as an inhibitor of insulin signaling. We have used mice with a disruption of the Grb10 gene (Grb10Δ2-4 mice) to assess whether Grb10 might influence insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis in vivo. Adult Grb10Δ2-4 mice were found to have improved whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, as well as increased muscle mass and reduced adiposity. Tissue-specific changes in insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation were consistent with a model in which Grb10, like the closely related Grb14 adapter protein, prevents specific protein tyrosine phosphatases from accessing phosphorylated tyrosines within the kinase activation loop. Furthermore, insulin-induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation was enhanced in Grb10Δ2-4 mutant animals, supporting a role for Grb10 in attenuation of signal transmission from the insulin receptor to IRS-1. We have previously shown that Grb10 strongly influences growth of the fetus and placenta. Thus, Grb10 forms a link between fetal growth and glucose-regulated metabolism in postnatal life and is a candidate for involvement in the process of fetal programming of adult metabolic health.

Concanavalin A (ConA) stimulated the phosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the insulin receptor and an Mr-185,000 protein on serine and tyrosine residues in intact H-35 rat hepatoma cells. This Mr-185,000 protein whose phosphorylation was stimulated by ConA was identical to pp185, a protein reported previously to be a putative endogenous substrate for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in rat hepatoma cells. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with cDNA of the human insulin receptor, tyrosine-phosphorylation of pp185 was strongly enhanced by ConA compared with the controls, suggesting that the induction of tyrosine-phosphorylation of pp185 was due to stimulation of the insulin receptor kinase by ConA. Moreover, monovalent ConA only slightly induced the tyrosine-phosphorylation of pp185, which was enhanced by the addition of anti-ConA IgG, suggesting that ConA stimulated the insulin receptor kinase mainly by the receptor cross-linking or aggregation in intact cells. These data suggest that the insulin-mimetic action of ConA is related to the autophosphorylation and activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, as well as the subsequent phosphorylation of pp185 in intact cells.

Abstract:
Insulin can regulate the abundance and organization of filamentous actin within cells in culture. Early studies using cell lines that overexpress the insulin receptor demonstrated that insulin caused a rapid reversible disassembly of actin filaments that coincided with the rapid tyrosine dephosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. We have extended these studies by demonstrating that paxillin, another focal adhesion protein, and Src undergo tyrosine dephosphorylation in response to insulin in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and rat hepatoma (HTC) cells that overexpress the insulin receptor. This contrasted with the effect of insulin in parental CHO and HTC cells in which focal adhesion proteins were not dephosphorylated in response to the hormone. In addition, insulin caused a dispersion of focal adhesion proteins and disruption of actin filament bundles only in cells that overexpressed the insulin receptor. Moreover, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, which are considered prototypic insulin-responsive cells, actin filament assembly was stimulated, and focal adhesion protein tyrosine phosphorylation was not altered. 3T3-L1 cells have more insulin receptors than either parental CHO or HTC cells but have fivefold less insulin receptors than the overexpressing cell lines. We hypothesize that a threshold may exist in which the overexpression of insulin receptors determines how insulin signaling pathways regulate the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract:
Thirty-day-old obese Zucker rats have hyperresponsive adipose tissue, whereas their skeletal muscle normally responds to insulin in vitro. To further substantiate the role of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in insulin action, we have studied the kinase activity of receptors obtained from adipocytes and skeletal muscle of these young obese Zucker rats. Insulin receptors, partially purified by wheat germ agglutinin agarose chromatography from plasma membranes of isolated adipocytes or from skeletal muscles, were studied in a cell-free system for auto-phosphorylation and for their ability to phosphorylate a synthetic glutamate-tyrosine copolymer. For an identical amount of receptors, the insulin stimulatory action on its beta-subunit receptor phosphorylation was markedly augmented in preparations from hyperresponsive adipocytes of obese animals compared with lean rats. Basal phosphorylation of adipocyte insulin receptors was nearly identical in lean and obese animals. Similarly the capacity of adipocyte insulin receptors to catalyze the phosphorylation of the synthetic substrate in response to insulin was increased. By contrast, the kinase activity of insulin receptors prepared from normally insulin-responsive skeletal muscle was similar in preparations of lean and obese rats. These results show that a state of hyperresponsiveness to insulin is correlated with a parallel increase of insulin receptor kinase activity suggesting an important role for this activity in insulin action.

Abstract:
Insulin signals are mediated through tyrosine phosphorylation of specific proteins such as insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and Shc by the activated insulin receptor (IR). Phosphorylation of both proteins is nearly abolished by an alanine substitution at Tyr-960 (A960) in the beta-subunit of the receptor. However, overexpression of IRS-1 in CHO cells expressing the mutant receptor (A960 cells) restored sufficient tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 to rescue IRS-1/Grb-2 binding and phosphatidylinositol 3' kinase activation during insulin stimulation. Shc tyrosine phosphorylation and its binding to Grb-2 were impaired in the A960 cells and were unaffected by overexpression of IRS-1. Although overexpression of IRS-1 increased IRS-1 binding to Grb-2, ERK-1/ERK-2 activation was not rescued. These data suggest that signaling molecules other than IRS-1, perhaps including Shc, are critical for insulin stimulation of p21ras. Interestingly, overexpression of IRS-1 in the A960 cells restored insulin-stimulated mitogenesis and partially restored insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis. Thus, IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation is sufficient to increase the mitogenic response to insulin, whereas insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis appears to involve other factors. Moreover, IRS-1 phosphorylation is either not sufficient or not involved in insulin stimulation of ERK.

Abstract:
Insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) are closely related receptor tyrosine kinases. Despite their high degree of homology, recent evidence suggests that the two receptors have distinct biological roles. In several recent studies, the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domains of the two receptors have been shown to possess different signalling specificities. In this study, we examine the hypothesis that differential phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) may contribute to these differences in signalling between the two receptors. Using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing human IR or IGF-IR and activated by their respective ligands, we show that there are differences between the two receptors with regard to the complement of SH2-containing proteins recruited to IRS-1. In particular, IGF-IR appears to couple IRS-1 preferentially to Grb2 whereas, in contrast, IR appears to couple IRS-1 preferentially to the p85 subunit of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) and to Nck. The two receptors couple IRS-1 equally to the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2. We have also generated phosphospecific antibodies to three important tyrosine phosphorylation sites on IRS-1 (pY608, pY895 and pY1172). We used these antibodies to probe the phosphorylation status of these sites in intact CHO/IR and CHO/IGF-IR cells. In the case of pY608, these results also show evidence for differential phosphorylation of IRS-1 by the two receptors. Taken together, the results presented here support the notion that the cytoplasmic domains of IR and IGF-IR have differences in their intrinsic signalling potentials.

Abstract:
Insulin has pleiotropic effects on the regulation of cell physiology through binding to its receptor. The wide variety of tyrosine phosphorylation motifs of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), a substrate for the activated insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, may account for the multiple functions of insulin. Recent studies have shown that activation of the insulin receptor leads to the regulation of focal adhesion proteins, such as a dephosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (pp125FAK). We show here that C-terminal Src kinase (Csk), which phosphorylates C-terminal tyrosine residues of Src family protein tyrosine kinases and suppresses their kinase activities, is involved in this insulin-stimulated dephosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins. We demonstrated that the overexpression of Csk enhanced and prolonged the insulin-induced dephosphorylation of pp125FAK. Another focal adhesion protein, paxillin, was also dephosphorylated upon insulin stimulation, and a kinase-negative mutant of Csk was able to inhibit the insulin-induced dephosphorylation of pp125FAK and paxillin. Although we have shown that the Csk Src homology 2 domain can bind to several tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, including pp125FAK and paxillin, a majority of protein which bound to Csk was IRS-1 when cells were stimulated by insulin. Our data also indicated that tyrosine phosphorylation levels of IRS-1 appear to be paralleled by the dephosphorylation of the focal adhesion proteins. We therefore propose that the kinase activity of Csk, through the insulin-induced complex formation of Csk with IRS-1, is involved in insulin's regulation of the phosphorylation levels of the focal adhesion proteins, possibly through inactivation of the kinase activity of c-Src family kinases.

Abstract:
Activation of skeletal muscle insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in vitro and in vivo was studied in two rat models of insulin resistance: insulinopenic diabetes and hypercortisolemia. In control rats, intravenous insulin administration resulted in dose-dependent in vivo activation of the muscle insulin receptor kinase towards histone H2b. Half-maximal and maximal activation were observed 5 min after injecting 0.1 and 0.5 U insulin/100 g, respectively. Diabetes (7 days) induced with streptozotocin did not affect insulin binding affinity of solubilized muscle receptors but depressed receptor kinase activation in vivo by 52 or 40% after intravenous insulin administration (0.1 or 2 U/100 g, respectively). Cortisone treatment (5 days) resulting in weight loss, hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia did not affect the number, insulin binding affinity, or kinase activity of solubilized receptors activated with insulin in vitro or in vivo. It is concluded that impaired insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activation was demonstrated in vivo in rats with insulinopenic diabetes and that glucocorticoid-induced insulin resistance probably reflects postreceptor defect(s) in muscle.

Abstract:
Abstract Insulin receptor number and insulin responsiveness were compared in a chicken hepatoma cell line (LMH) and in normal chicken hepatocyte (cHep) cells cultured in the same conditions. LMH cells expressed two- to threefold more insulin receptors than cHep cells, without significant changes in affinity. The tyrosine kinase activity of solubilized and lectin (lentil+wheat germ agglutinin; WGA)-purified LMH receptors was higher than that of cHep receptors. The ATP hydrolytic activity previously observed in WGA-purified receptors from chicken liver membranes was also present in WGA-purified receptors from cultured cHep cells. This unidentified membrane-associated ATPase was absent from LMH membrane-solubilized material and therefore from WGA-purified LMH insulin receptors. Finally, LMH cells incorporated at least tenfold more amino isobutyric acid than cHep cells in the absence of insulin and were more responsive to insulin. The enhanced basal amino acid transport of LMH cells was most probably the consequence of their proliferative activity. The enhanced insulin responsiveness of LMH cells can be accounted for, at least in part, by one or several of the modifications presently demonstrated in LMH cells when compared with normal cultured hepatocytes: increased insulin receptor number and tyrosine kinase activity and possibly the loss of the membrane-associated ATPase.

Abstract:
Insulin stimulates signaling reactions that include insulin receptor autophosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activation, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) tyrosine phosphorylation, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activation. Muscle contraction has metabolic effects similar to insulin, and contraction can increase insulin sensitivity, but little is known about the molecular signals that mediate the effects of contraction. To investigate the effects of muscle contraction on insulin signaling, rats were studied after contraction of hindlimb muscles by electrical stimulation, maximal insulin injection in the absence of contraction, or contraction followed by insulin injection. Insulin increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and IRS-1, whereas contraction alone had no effect. Contraction before insulin injection decreased the insulin effect on receptor and IRS-1 phosphorylation by 20-25%. Increased tyrosine phosphorylation of other proteins by insulin and/or contraction was not observed. Contraction alone had little effect on PI 3-kinase activity, but contraction markedly blunted the insulin-stimulated activation of IRS-1 and insulin receptor-immunoprecipitable PI 3-kinase. In conclusion, skeletal muscle contractile activity does not result in tyrosine phosphorylation of molecules involved in the initial steps of insulin signaling. Although contractile activity increases insulin sensitivity and responsiveness in skeletal muscle, contraction causes a paradoxical decrease in insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and PI 3-kinase activity.

Abstract:
Insulin receptor was co-purified from human placenta together with insulin-stimulated kinase activity that phosphorylates the insulin receptor on serine residues. By using this ‘in vitro’ system, the mechanism of activation of the serine kinase by insulin was explored. Peptide 1150, histone, poly(Glu-Tyr), eliminating Mn2+ (Mg2+ only), treatment at 37 degrees C (1 h), N-ethylmaleimide, phosphate, beta-glycerol phosphate and anti-phosphotyrosine antibody all inhibited insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase activity and the ability of insulin to stimulate phosphorylation of the insulin receptor on serine. Additionally, direct stimulation of the receptor tyrosine kinase by vanadate increased serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. Insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation preceded insulin-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. The activity of the insulin-sensitive receptor serine kinase was not augmented by cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, Ca2+, Ca2+ + calmodulin, Ca2+ + phosphatidylserine + diolein or spermine, or inhibited appreciably by heparin. Additionally, the serine kinase phosphorylated casein or phosvitin poorly and was active with Mn2+. This indicates that it is distinct from Ca2+, Ca2+/phospholipid, Ca2+/calmodulin, cyclic AMP- and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinases, casein kinases I and II and insulin-activated ribosomal S6 kinase. Taken together, these data indicate that a novel species of serine kinase catalyses the insulin-dependent phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and that activation of this receptor serine kinase by insulin requires an active insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The tyrosine kinase JAK2 is a key signaling protein for at least 20 receptors in the cytokine/hematopoietin receptor superfamily and is a component of signaling by insulin receptor and several G-protein-coupled receptors. However, there is only limited knowledge of the physical structure of JAK2 or which of the 49 tyrosines in JAK2 are autophosphorylated. In this study, mass spectrometry and two-dimensional peptide mapping were used to determine that tyrosines 221, 570, and 1007 in JAK2 are autophosphorylated. Phosphorylation of tyrosine 570 is particularly robust. In response to growth hormone, JAK2 was rapidly and transiently phosphorylated at tyrosines 221 and 570, returning to basal levels by 60 min. Analysis of the sequences surrounding tyrosines 221 and 570 in JAK2 and tyrosines in other proteins that are phosphorylated in response to ligands that activate JAK2 suggests that the YXX[L/I/V] motif is one of the motifs recognized by JAK2. Experiments using JAK2 with tyrosines 221 and 570 mutated to phenylalanine suggest that tyrosines 221 and 570 in JAK2 may serve as regulatory sites in JAK2, with phosphorylation of tyrosine 221 increasing kinase activity and phosphorylation of tyrosine 570 decreasing kinase activity and thereby contributing to rapid termination of ligand activation of JAK2.

Abstract:
Signalling by the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins is critically dependent on the tyrosine phosphorylation of specific binding sites that recruit Src homology 2 (SH2)-domain-containing proteins, such as the p85 subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 and the adapter protein Grb2. Here we show that stimulation by insulin of freshly isolated primary adipocytes resulted in the expected rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, IRS-1 and IRS-3. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase enhanced the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of IRS-1 on (i) Tyr612 and Tyr941 (p85 binding sites), concomitant with an increased association of the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase; (ii) Tyr896 (a Grb2 binding site); and (iii) Tyr1229 (an SHP-2 binding site), although little or no binding of SHP-2 to IRS-1 was detectable under any conditions. In contrast, inhibition of PI 3-kinase led to a decrease in insulin-stimulated p85 binding to IRS-3, but had no effect on SHP-2 binding. Furthermore, insulin-induced insulin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation, phosphorylation of Tyr1158 and insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity were all reduced by inhibition of PI 3-kinase at later time points (20min). The results demonstrate that, in primary adipocytes, PI 3-kinase feedback control of signalling by the insulin receptor and IRS proteins is multifaceted and reciprocal, illustrating the complexity of predicting the net flux of the insulin signal(s) through the IRS proteins.

Abstract:
Late gestation is associated with insulin resistance in rats and humans. It has been reported that rats at term gestation show active hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, and diminished lipogenesis, despite normal or mildly elevated plasma insulin concentrations, indicating a state of resistance to the hormone action. Since autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor has been reported to play a key role in the hormone signal transduction, we have partially purified plasma-membrane liver insulin receptors from virgin and 22-day-pregnant rats and studied their binding and kinase activities. (1) Insulin binding to partially purified receptors does not appear to be influenced by gestation, as indicated by the observed KD and Bmax. values. (2) The rate of autophosphorylation and the maximal 32P incorporation into the receptor beta-subunit from pregnant rats at saturating concentrations of insulin are markedly decreased with respect to the corresponding values for virgin rats. (3) The diminished autophosphorylation rate was due to a decreased responsiveness of the kinase activity to the action of insulin. (4) Phosphorylation of the exogenous substrates casein and poly(Glu80Tyr20) by insulin-receptor kinase was also less when receptors from pregnant rats were used. These results show the existence of an impairment at the receptor kinase level of the insulin signalling mechanism that might be related to the insulin-resistant state characteristic of term gestation in rats.

Abstract:
The present studies were undertaken to determine whether the interaction between cAMP-dependent and insulin-dependent pathways in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes affects biological functions and tyrosine phosphorylation. Quiescent hepatocytes were pretreated with dibutyryl cAMP or cAMP-generating agents such as glucagon, and then treated or not with insulin. Preincubation for 6 h with dibutyryl cAMP or glucagon enhanced the effect of insulin on DNA synthesis, but not the effect of insulin on amino acid transport or glycogen and protein synthesis. Tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins was determined by immunoblot analysis using an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. Maximum tyrosine phosphorylation of a 195 kDa protein, which may be a substrate of insulin receptor kinase, of 175–180 kDa proteins, including insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, and of 90–95 kDa proteins, including the insulin receptor β-subunit, was reached within 30 s of incubation with insulin. Pretreatment for about 3 h with dibutyryl cAMP or cAMP-generating agents clearly increased insulin-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the 195 kDa protein, but not IRS-1, IRS-2 or the insulin receptor β-subunit. Because dibutyryl cAMP and cAMP-generating agents did not increase insulin receptor number or its kinase activity, the effect of cAMP on this potentiation of tyrosine phosphorylation is assumed to be exerted at a step distal to insulin receptor kinase activation. The potentiation by cAMP pretreatment of insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation may in part be secondary to inhibition of phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity, because cAMP pretreatment blunted the effect of Na3VO4 on the net tyrosine phosphorylation of the 195 kDa protein as compared with cells pretreated with no additive. In summary, the interactions between cAMP-dependent and insulin-dependent pathways that lead to augmentation of DNA synthesis appear to parallel the changes in tyrosine phosphorylation. Further studies will be required to determine whether there is a causal relationship between these phenomena.

Abstract:
To identify proteins interacting in the insulin-signaling pathway that might define new pathways or regulate existing ones, we have employed the yeast two-hybrid system. In a two-hybrid screen of a human liver cDNA library, we identified the human growth factor receptor bound 14 (hGrb14) adaptor protein as a partner of the activated insulin receptor. Additional analysis of the insulin receptor - hGrb14 interaction in the yeast two-hybrid system revealed that the SH2 domain of hGrb14 was not the sole region involved in binding the activated insulin receptor. The insulin-stimulated interaction between hGrb14 and the insulin receptor was also observed in different mammalian cultured cell lines. This association was detected at 1 min of insulin stimulation and was maximal at 10 nM and greater concentrations of insulin. Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the insulin receptor (CHO-IR) and hGrb14 were used to examine the effects of hGrb14 overexpression on insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins; in general, increasing levels of hGrb14 expression resulted in a reduction in tyrosine phosphorylation. This decrease was demonstrated for the specific proteins src homology-containing and collagen-related protein (Shc), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), and Downstream of tyrosine Kinase (Dok). The broad effects of hGrb14 overexpression on insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation suggest that it acts early in the insulin-signaling pathway.Key words: insulin signaling, growth factor receptor bound 14, Grb14, adaptor protein, insulin receptor.

Abstract:
The kinase activity of partially purified insulin receptor obtained from human placenta was studied. When autophosphorylation of the beta-subunit of the receptor was initiated by ATP prior to the addition of the exogenous substrate, both basal and insulin-stimulated kinase activity was increased. However, half-maximum effective insulin concentrations were unchanged. Insulin receptor autophosphorylation as stimulated by ATP and insulin failed to affect significantly 125I-insulin binding to partially purified insulin receptor from human placenta. It is concluded that autophosphorylation of the insulin receptors regulates its kinase activity but not its affinity for insulin. The catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase failed to phosphorylate either subunit of the insulin receptor, and each kinase failed to affect the affinity of the other one. Thus no functional interaction between cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and insulin receptors was observed in the in vitro system.
