Characterization of a tyrosine kinase activity associated with the high-affinity interleukin 2 receptor complex.

ABSTRACT: The IL-2 receptor complex is minimally composed of two genetically unrelated subunits of relative molecular masses 55 and 75 kDa respectively. Structural information deduced from the cDNA sequences of either subunit have not revealed significant information as to the basis of the mechanisms of IL-2 receptor signal transduction. Nevertheless, IL-2 stimulates the activation of one or more tyrosine kinases requiring the functional participation of the p75 member of the receptor complex. Here we have developed the methods to isolate the receptor complex with an associated tyrosine protein kinase. Extracts of membrane glycoproteins from activated normal human T lymphocytes and cell lines demonstrated catalytic activation of tyrosine kinase activity when stimulated with IL-2. Purification of the receptor complex with biotinylated IL-2 revealed the presence of two dominant phosphotyrosyl-proteins of approximate molecular masses 58 and 97 kDa. Denaturation gel electrophoresis followed by renaturation of proteins associated with the IL-2 receptor complex demonstrated that the 97 kDa protein had catalytic autophosphorylation activity. The results indicate that the 58 and 97 kDa phosphotyrosyl-proteins can be found to co-precipitate with the IL-2 receptor complex and that the 97 kDa protein was demonstrated to have protein kinase activity. The association of such kinases with receptors devoid of catalytic structure may represent a unique paradigm of growth-factor receptor mechanisms.

Growth inhibition signalled through the interleukin-4/interleukin-13 receptor complex is associated with tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1.

Project description:Induction of growth inhibition in human colorectal carcinoma cell lines by interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 was associated with the neophosphorylation of a 170 kDa cellular protein, identified as insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) by immunoprecipitation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-I was also induced by insulin and insulin-like growth factor I. Sublines of colorectal carcinoma cells unresponsive to growth modulation by IL-4, IL-13 or insulin-like growth factor I-induced growth did not phosphorylate IRS-1. A functional, multimeric IL-4 receptor complex was present on all carcinoma cell lines with a subunit composition of 65 kDa, 75 kDa and the previously characterized 130 kDa band as demonstrated by affinity cross-link with 126I labelled IL-4. The 65 kDa subunit is novel whereas the 75 kDa band represents the common IL-2 receptor gama-chain the novel 65 kDa receptor was present as a double band and bound primarily 125I-labelled IL-13. The present study demonstrates the involvement of a novel chain other than the gama-chain in the receptor complexes of IL-4 and IL-13 and and post-receptor tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1. The association of IRS-1 with growth inhibitory signals in carcinoma cells suggests a novel mechanism of tumour growth control.

A high-content EMT screen identifies multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors with activity on TGFβ receptor.

Project description:An epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) enables epithelial tumor cells to break out of the primary tumor mass and to metastasize. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving EMT in more detail will provide important tools to interfere with the metastatic process. To identify pharmacological modulators and druggable targets of EMT, we have established a novel multi-parameter, high-content, microscopy-based assay and screened chemical compounds with activities against known targets. Out of 3423 compounds, we have identified 19 drugs that block transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)-induced EMT in normal murine mammary gland epithelial cells (NMuMG). The active compounds include inhibitors against TGFβ receptors (TGFBR), Rho-associated protein kinases (ROCK), myosin II, SRC kinase and uridine analogues. Among the EMT-repressing compounds, we identified a group of inhibitors targeting multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, and biochemical profiling of these multi-kinase inhibitors reveals TGFBR as a thus far unknown target of their inhibitory spectrum. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of a multi-parameter, high-content microscopy screen to identify modulators and druggable targets of EMT. Moreover, the newly discovered "off-target" effects of several receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors have important consequences for in vitro and in vivo studies and might beneficially contribute to the therapeutic effects observed in vivo.

Specificity and structure of a high affinity activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1) signaling complex.

Project description:Activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1), an endothelial cell-specific type I receptor of the TGF-? superfamily, is an important regulator of normal blood vessel development as well as pathological tumor angiogenesis. As such, ALK1 is an important therapeutic target. Thus, several ALK1-directed agents are currently in clinical trials as anti-angiogenic cancer therapeutics. Given the biological and clinical importance of the ALK1 signaling pathway, we sought to elucidate the biophysical and structural basis underlying ALK1 signaling. The TGF-? family ligands BMP9 and BMP10 as well as the three type II TGF-? family receptors ActRIIA, ActRIIB, and BMPRII have been implicated in ALK1 signaling. Here, we provide a kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of BMP9 and BMP10 interactions with ALK1 and type II receptors. Our data show that BMP9 displays a significant discrimination in type II receptor binding, whereas BMP10 does not. We also report the crystal structure of a fully assembled ternary complex of BMP9 with the extracellular domains of ALK1 and ActRIIB. The structure reveals that the high specificity of ALK1 for BMP9/10 is determined by a novel orientation of ALK1 with respect to BMP9, which leads to a unique set of receptor-ligand interactions. In addition, the structure explains how BMP9 discriminates between low and high affinity type II receptors. Taken together, our findings provide structural and mechanistic insights into ALK1 signaling that could serve as a basis for novel anti-angiogenic therapies.

The kinase activity of IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 is required for interleukin-1 receptor/toll-like receptor-induced TAK1-dependent NFkappaB activation.

Project description:Two parallel interleukin-1 (IL-1)-mediated signaling pathways have been uncovered for IL-1R-TLR-mediated NFkappaB activation: TAK1-dependent and MEKK3-dependent pathways, respectively. The TAK1-dependent pathway leads to IKKalpha/beta phosphorylation and IKKbeta activation, resulting in classic NFkappaB activation through IkappaBalpha phosphorylation and degradation. The TAK1-independent MEKK3-dependent pathway involves IKKgamma phosphorylation and IKKalpha activation, resulting in NFkappaB activation through dissociation of phosphorylated IkappaBalpha from NFkappaB without IkappaBalpha degradation. IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) belongs to the IRAK family of proteins and plays a critical role in IL-1R/TLR-mediated signaling. IRAK4 kinase-inactive mutant failed to mediate the IL-1R-TLR-induced TAK1-dependent NFkappaB activation pathway, but mediated IL-1-induced TAK1-independent NFkappaB activation and retained the ability to activate substantial gene expression, indicating a structural role of IRAK4 in mediating this alternative NFkappaB activation pathway. Deletion analysis of IRAK4 indicates the essential structural role of the IRAK4 death domain in receptor proximal signaling for mediating IL-1R-TLR-induced NFkappaB activation.

Tyrosine kinase 2 promotes sepsis-associated lethality by facilitating production of interleukin-27.

Project description:The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that gene expression and release of IL-27 may be modulated by Tyk2. Macrophages derived from the peritoneum or bone marrow of C57BL/10SnJ (WT) mice produced abundant amounts of IL-27(p28) following TLR4 activation by LPS. In contrast, production of IL-27(p28), but not EBI3, was reduced by ?50% in TLR4-activated macrophages derived from mice with genetic deficiency of Tyk2 compared with WT macrophages. Frequencies of IL-27(p28)+F4/80+CD11b+ cells were lower in TLR4-activated macrophages derived from Tyk2-/- mice. Mechanistically, Tyk2-/- resulted in disruption of a type I IFN-dependent mechanism for production of IL-27(p28), which was induced by type I IFNs, and release of IL-27 was defective in macrophages from IFN-?-/- and IFNAR1-/- mice. In contrast, Tyk2 was not required to mediate the effects of IL-27 on target gene expression in CD4(+) T cells. In vivo, we observed that Tyk2-/- mice have improved survival following endotoxic shock or polymicrobial sepsis induced by CLP. Plasma levels of IL-27(p28) during endotoxic shock or polymicrobial sepsis were markedly reduced in Tyk2-/- mice compared with WT mice. Disruption of IL-27 signaling using IL-27RA-/- mice was protective against sepsis-associated mortality. These data suggest that Tyk2 may mediate adverse outcomes of SIRS by promoting the production of IL-27. In conclusion, this report identifies Tyk2 as a prerequisite factor in the molecular networks that are involved in generation of IL-27.

Structure-activity relationship study of EphB3 receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Project description:A structure-activity relationship study for a 2-chloroanilide derivative of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine revealed that increased EphB3 kinase inhibitory activity could be accomplished by retaining the 2-chloroanilide and introducing a phenyl or small electron donating substituents to the 5-position of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine. In addition, replacement of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine with imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine was well tolerated and resulted in enhanced mouse liver microsome stability. The structure-activity relationship for EphB3 inhibition of both heterocyclic series was similar. Kinase inhibitory activity was also demonstrated for representative analogs in cell culture. An analog (32, LDN-211904) was also profiled for inhibitory activity against a panel of 288 kinases and found to be quite selective for tyrosine kinases. Overall, these studies provide useful molecular probes for examining the in vitro, cellular and potentially in vivo kinase-dependent function of EphB3 receptor.

Ror2 receptor requires tyrosine kinase activity to mediate Wnt5A signaling.

Project description:The Wnts include a large family of secreted proteins that serve as important signals during embryonic development and adult homeostasis. In the most well understood Wnt signaling pathway, Wnt binding to Frizzled and low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein induces beta-catenin protein stabilization and entry into the nucleus, resulting in changes in target gene transcription. Emerging evidence suggests that Wnt5a can inhibit Wnt/beta-catenin signaling through interaction with the receptor Ror2. The Ror2 protein belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily and contains several recognizable structural motifs. However, limited information is available regarding which specific domains are required for the inhibitory signaling activity of Wnt5a. Through mutation and deletion analysis, we have analyzed which specific domains and residues, including those necessary for tyrosine kinase activity, mediate the Wnt5a signal. To determine whether Ror2 can inhibit canonical Wnt signaling in vivo, we examined the effect of Ror2 loss on the expression of the Wnt reporter Axin2(LacZ), finding increased reporter activity in Ror2 null mice, demonstrating that Ror2 can also inhibit Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in the context of intact tissues.

Characterization of receptor tyrosine kinase activation and biological activity of toceranib phosphate in canine urothelial carcinoma cell lines.

Project description:BackgroundUrothelial carcinoma (UC) accounts for > 90% of canine tumors occurring in the urinary bladder. Toceranib phosphate (TOC) is a multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that exhibits activity against members of the split kinase family of RTKs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate primary UC tumors and UC cell lines for the expression and activation of VEGFR2, PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, and KIT to assess whether dysregulation of these RTKs may contribute to the observed biological activity of TOC.ResultsTranscript for VEGFR2, PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, and KIT was detected in all UC tissue samples and UC cell lines. The Proteome Profiler™ Human Phospho-RTK Array Kit (R & D Systems) provided a platform to assess phosphorylation of 42 different RTKs in primary UC tumors and UC cell lines. Evidence of PDGFRα and PDGFRβ phosphorylation was present in only 11% or 33% of UC tumors, respectively, and 25% of UC cell lines. Treatment of UC cell lines with TOC had no significant impact on cell proliferation, including UC cell lines with evidence of PDGFRβ phosphorylation.ConclusionsPhosphorylation of several key RTKs targeted by TOC is present in a small subset of primary UC tumors and UC cell lines, suggesting that these RTKs do not exist in a state of continuous activation. These data suggest that activation of RTKs targeted by TOC is present in a small subset of UC tumors and UC cell lines and that treatment with TOC at physiologically relevant concentrations has no direct anti-proliferative effect on UC cells.

Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-2 genetic variant rs708035 increases NF-?B activity through promoting TRAF6 ubiquitination.

Project description:The IL-1 receptor-associated kinases (IRAKs) are key regulators of Toll-like receptor (TLR)/IL-1 signaling, which are critical regulators of mammalian inflammation and innate immune response. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IRAK genes have been discovered recently. However, the functions of these IRAK SNPs remain largely unknown. Here, we found that the non-synonymous IRAK2 variant rs708035 (coding D431E) increases NF-?B activity and leads to more expression of NF-?B-dependent proinflammatory cytokines compared with IRAK2 wild type. Moreover, when IRAK2 knockdown cells reconstituted with siRNA-resistant WT-IRAK2 or D431E-IRAK2 were infected with influenza virus, a more obvious induction of IL-6 and a stronger anti-apoptosis effect were observed in D431E-IRAK2 expressing cells. Notably, we also found that the levels of proinflammatory cytokine-IL-6 were indeed higher in people carrying D431E-IRAK2 than those carrying WT-IRAK2. Further study demonstrated that elevated NF-?B activation mediated by the IRAK2 variant was due to increased TRAF6 ubiquitination and faster I?B? degradation. Our study provides important insight of IRAK2 SNP in the regulation of NF-?B activation and indicates that IRAK2 rs708035 might be associated with human diseases caused by hyper-activation of NF-?B.

The EphA8 receptor regulates integrin activity through p110gamma phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase in a tyrosine kinase activity-independent manner.

Project description:Recent genetic studies suggest that ephrins may function in a kinase-independent Eph receptor pathway. Here we report that expression of EphA8 in either NIH 3T3 or HEK293 cells enhanced cell adhesion to fibronectin via alpha(5)beta(1)- or beta(3) integrins. Interestingly, a kinase-inactive EphA8 mutant also markedly promoted cell attachment to fibronectin in these cell lines. Using a panel of EphA8 point mutants, we have demonstrated that EphA8 kinase activity does not correlate with its ability to promote cell attachment to fibronectin. Analysis using EphA8 extracellular and intracellular domain mutants has revealed that enhanced cell adhesion is dependent on ephrin A binding to the extracellular domain and the juxtamembrane segment of the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor. EphA8-promoted adhesion was efficiently inhibited by wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor. Additionally, we found that EphA8 had associated PI 3-kinase activity and that the p110gamma isoform of PI 3-kinase is associated with EphA8. In vitro binding experiments revealed that the EphA8 juxtamembrane segment was sufficient for the formation of a stable complex with p110gamma. Similar results were obtained in assay using cells stripped of endogenous ephrin A ligands by treatment with preclustered ephrin A5-Fc proteins. In addition, a membrane-targeted lipid kinase-inactive p110gamma mutant was demonstrated to stably associate with EphA8 and suppress EphA8-promoted cell adhesion to fibronectin. Taken together, these results suggest the presence of a novel mechanism by which the EphA8 receptor localizes p110gamma PI 3-kinase to the plasma membrane in a tyrosine kinase-independent fashion, thereby allowing access to lipid substrates to enable the signals required for integrin-mediated cell adhesion.
