The protooncogene c-sea encodes a transmembrane protein-tyrosine kinase related to the Met/hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor receptor.

ABSTRACT: c-sea is the cellular homologue of the avian erythroblastosis virus S13-encoded oncogene v-sea. We have isolated and determined the nucleotide sequence of overlapping chicken cDNAs that encode the putative c-sea protooncogene product. The predicted reading frame encoded a 1404-aa polypeptide that had the structure of a receptor-like protein-tyrosine kinase and exhibited the highest degree of sequence similarity with the Met/hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor receptor. Analysis of steady-state RNA expression revealed that c-sea mRNA levels were elevated approximately 5-fold in chicken embryo cells transformed by activated variants of the src nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase gene but not in cells transformed by the nuclear oncogenes v-myc or v-rel. A survey of c-sea expression in a variety of chicken tissues indicated that the highest levels of mRNA were located in peripheral white blood cell populations and in the intestine.

Project description:MET, the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), is involved in wide variety of biological events and its aberrant activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer. Especially, MET signaling is associated with resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), key drugs in therapy of non-small cell lung cancer. MET has 11 potential N-glycosylation sites, however, the site-specific roles of N-glycans have not been elucidated. Here, we report that N-glycans regulate proteolytic processing of MET and HGF induced MET signaling, site specifically. N-glycosylation inhibitors suppressed processing and trafficking of endogenous MET in H1975 and EBC-1 lung cancer cells and exogenous MET in CHO cells. We purified the recombinant extracellular domain of human MET and determined the site-specific N-glycan structures and occupancy using nanoflow liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The results indicated that most sites were fully glycosylated and the dominant population were complex-type which were rich in sialic acids and core fucoses. To examine the effects of N-glycan deletion of MET, we prepared endogenous-MET-knockout Flp-In CHO cells and transfected with series of N-glycan deletion mutants of MET. It was found that several N-glycans are implicated in processing of MET. It was also suggested that the N-glycans of -subunit of MET positively regulate HGF signaling, and the N-glycans of β-subunit negatively regulate HGF signaling. In all-N-glycan deletion mutant, processing and signaling were significantly suppressed. It was observed that the cell proliferation rate was suppressed in all-N-glycan deletion mutant, although the cell surface expression levels of MET were not completely diminished. We examined the HGF biding affinity for the recombinant extracellular domain of MET and found that peptide N-glycosidase F treatment did not affect the ligand binding affinity. It was suggested that N-glycans of MET affect the status and the function of the receptor site-specifically.
