Ca2+ promotes erythrocyte band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation via dissociation of phosphotyrosine phosphatase from band 3.

ABSTRACT: The anion-exchange band 3 protein is the main erythrocyte protein that is phosphorylated by protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). We have previously identified a band 3-associated phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that is normally highly active and prevents the accumulation of band 3 phosphotyrosine. Band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation can be induced by inhibition of PTP (vanadate, thiol oxidation), activation of PTK (hypertonic NaCl) or intracellular increased Ca(2+) (mechanism unknown). We now show that there is inhibition of dephosphorylation of band 3 in Ca(2+)/ionophore-treated erythrocytes and in membranes isolated from the treated cells. These membranes exhibit phosphatase activity upon the addition of exogenous substrate. Dephosphorylation of the endogenous substrate (band 3) can be activated in these membranes by the addition of Mg(2+). Thus the inability of PTP to dephosphorylate the band 3 phosphotyrosine is not due to inhibition of the enzyme itself. Ca(2+) rise in the erythrocyte causes dissociation of PTP from band 3, thus leaving the kinase unopposed. This is shown by a significant diminution in band 3/PTP co-precipitation. Addition of Mg(2+) to these membranes leads to reassociation of band 3 with PTP. The Ca(2+)-induced inhibition of band 3 dephosphorylation may be due to Ca(2+)-dependent alterations in membrane components and structure, affecting the interaction of band 3 with PTP. The Ca(2+)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, involving an apparent PTP inhibition via dissociation from the substrate, may play a role in signal transduction pathways and in certain pathological disorders associated with increased cell Ca(2+).

Project description:CD148 is a transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase that is expressed at cell junctions. Recent studies have shown that CD148 associates with the cadherin/catenin complex and p120 catenin (p120) may serve as a substrate. However, the role of CD148 in cadherin cell-cell adhesion remains unknown. Therefore, here we addressed this issue using a series of stable cells and cell-based assays. Wild-type (WT) and catalytically inactive (CS) CD148 were introduced to A431D (lacking classical cadherins), A431D/E-cadherin WT (expressing wild-type E-cadherin), and A431D/E-cadherin 764AAA (expressing p120-uncoupled E-cadherin mutant) cells. The effects of CD148 in cadherin adhesion were assessed by Ca2+ switch and cell aggregation assays. Phosphorylation of E-cadherin/catenin complex and Rho family GTPase activities were also examined. Although CD148 introduction did not alter the expression levels and complex formation of E-cadherin, p120, and ?-catenin, CD148 WT, but not CS, promoted cadherin contacts and strengthened cell-cell adhesion in A431D/E-cadherin WT cells. This effect was accompanied by an increase in Rac1, but not RhoA and Cdc42, activity and largely diminished by Rac1 inhibition. Further, we demonstrate that CD148 reduces the tyrosine phosphorylation of p120 and ?-catenin; causes the dephosphorylation of Y529 suppressive tyrosine residue in Src, a well-known CD148 site, increasing Src activity and enhancing the phosphorylation of Y228 (a Src kinase site) in p120, in E-cadherin contacts. Consistent with these findings, CD148 dephosphorylated both p120 and ?-catenin in vitro. The shRNA-mediated CD148 knockdown in A431 cells showed opposite effects. CD148 showed no effects in A431D and A431D/E-cadherin 764AAA cells. In aggregate, these findings provide the first evidence that CD148 promotes E-cadherin adhesion by regulating Rac1 activity concomitant with modulation of p120, ?-catenin, and Src tyrosine phosphorylation. This effect requires E-cadherin and p120 association.
