And Function

Membrane vesicles shed from intact A-431 epidermoid carcinoma cells and harvested in the presence of Ca2+ contained epidermal-growth-factor (EGF) receptor/kinase substrates of apparent molecular masses 185, 85, 70, 55, 38 and 27 kDa. The 38 kDa substrate (p38) was recognized by an antibody that had been raised against the human placental EGF receptor/kinase substrate calpactin II (lipocortin I). The A-431 and placental substrates, isolated by immunoprecipitation after phosphorylation in situ, yielded identical phosphopeptide maps upon limited proteolytic digestion with each of five different enzymes. The A-431-cell vesicular p38 is therefore calpactin II. EGF treatment of the intact A-431 cells before inducing vesiculation was not necessary for the substrate to be present within the vesicles. Our data thus indicate that receptor internalization is not a prerequisite for receptor-mediated phosphorylation of calpactin II. The ability of the protein to function as a substrate for the receptor/kinase depended upon the continued presence of Ca2+ during the vesicle-isolation procedure. EGF-stimulated phosphorylation of calpactin II was much less pronounced in vesicles prepared from A-431 cells in the absence of Ca2+, although comparable amounts of the protein were detectable by immunoblotting. Calpactin II therefore appears to be sequestered in a Ca2+-modulated manner within shed vesicles, along with at least four other major targets for the EGF receptor/kinase. The vesicle preparation may be a useful model system in which to study the phosphorylation and function of potentially important membrane-associated substrates for the receptor.

Several enzymes of the glycolytic pathway are phosphorylated in vitro and in vivo by retroviral transforming protein kinases. These substrates include the enzymes phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM), enolase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Here we show that purified EGF (epidermal growth factor)-receptor kinase phosphorylates the enzymes PGM and enolase and also the key regulatory enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, phosphofructokinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), in an EGF-dependent manner. Stoichiometry of phosphate incorporation into GAPDH (calculated from native Mr) is the highest, reaching approximately 1. LDH and other enzymes of the glycolytic pathway are not phosphorylated by the purified EGF-receptor kinase. These enzymes are phosphorylated under native conditions, and the Km values of EGF-receptor kinase for their phosphorylation are close to the physiological concentrations of these enzymes in the cell. EGF stimulates the reaction by 2-5-fold by increasing the Vmax. without affecting the Km of this process. Phosphorylation is rapid at 22 degrees C and at higher temperatures. However, unlike the self-phosphorylation of EGF-receptor, which occurs at 4 degrees C, the glycolytic enzymes are poorly phosphorylated at this temperature. Some enzymes, in particular enolase, increase the receptor Km for ATP in the autophosphorylation process and thus may act as competitive inhibitors of EGF-receptor self-phosphorylation. On the basis of the Km values of EGF receptor for the substrate enzymes and for ATP in the phosphorylation reaction, these enzymes may also be substrates in vivo for the EGF-receptor kinase.

Functional state of internalized epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in A-431 cells has been studied. The use of photoaffinity [125I]EGF derivative allowed us to establish that inside the cell the EGF retains its connection with the receptor. With the help of polyclonal antibodies to phosphotyrosine, it has been shown that EGF-receptor complexes maintain their phosphorylated state during internalization. The internalized EGF receptor kinase as well as that localized in the plasma membrane appeared to be able to phosphorylate synthetic peptide substrate introduced into the cell.

This paper describes studies on the migratory behavior of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor kinase using antibodies that are specific for either the kinase domain or the extracellular domain of the receptor. Antiserum was raised to a 42,000-D subfragment of EGF receptor, which was shown earlier to carry the kinase catalytic site but not the EGF-binding site. Another antiserum was raised to the pure intact 170,000-D EGF receptor. The specificities of these antibodies were established by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting experiments. The domain specificity was examined by indirect immunofluorescent staining of fixed cells. The anti-42-kD peptide antibody could bind specifically to EGF receptors of both human and murine origin and was found to be directed to the cytoplasmic part of the molecule. It did not bind to EGF receptor-negative cells, which contained other types of tyrosine kinases. The antibodies raised against the intact receptor recognized only EGF receptor-specific epitopes and were directed to the extracellular part of the molecule. The anti-receptor antibodies described above were used to visualize the cyclic locomotory behavior of EGF receptor kinase under various conditions of EGF stimulation and withdrawal. The receptor was examined in fixed and permeabilized cells by indirect immunofluorescent staining. The results demonstrate the following: (a) the receptor kinase domain migrates to the perinuclear region upon challenge with EGF; (b) both extracellular and cytoplasmic domains of the receptor are involved in migration as a unit; (c) withdrawal of EGF results in rapid recycling of the perinuclear receptors to the plasma membrane; (d) this return to the cell surface is inhibited by methylamine, chloroquine, and monensin; and (e) neither the internal migration nor the recycling process is blocked by inhibitors of protein biosynthesis.

Sulphydryl reagents have been shown to produce a variety of effects on insulin-receptor structure and function. However, localization of these effects to specific receptor domains has not been attempted. We have investigated this question with insulin- and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-receptors (both are receptor tyrosine kinases but have different sulphydryl/disulphide structures within the external domain), and the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) protein consisting solely of the insulin-receptor cytoplasmic domain and exhibiting constitutive kinase activity. Results showed a differential response between basal and activated receptors. The physiological reductant GSH stimulated basal receptor autophosphorylation, but was either without effect (EGF) or inhibited (insulin) activated receptors, and occurred without visible reduction of receptor structure. These results contrast with those obtained with dithiothreitol which appears to activate phosphorylation in association with reduction of the extracellular insulin-receptor disulphides, but is without effect on the EGF receptor or the IRK protein. Alkylating agents N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and iodoacetamide (IAM) had opposing effects on receptor autophosphorylation. However, only in the basal state was IAM able to protect receptors from the inhibitory effect of NEM. Our results suggest that complex sulphydryl interactions can occur within the cytoplasmic domain of insulin- and EGF-receptors to alter receptor kinase activity. The basal and activated state of receptors is not the same with respect to sulphydryl reagent action, possibly due to conformational change in the receptor induced by ligand (insulin, EGF) or constitutive (IRK) activation.

Acute, high-intensity stress induces necrotic lesions in the heart. We found that restraint-and-cold (4°C) exposure (RCE) raises plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), and transaminase activity in a time-dependent manner, with a peak value 7 h after stimulus cessation. At 24 h, signs of necrotic lesions were observed in paraffin sections stained with hematoxylineosin: focal accumulation of mononuclear cells in subendocardial areas of the left ventricle wall and focal hemorrhage in papillary muscles. In contrast, intermale fighting (IF) did not increase plasma CK activity, although LDH and transaminase activities did increase. In IF, no histological evidence of heart injury was observed. Because IF, but not RCE, increased plasma epidermal growth factor (EGF) concentration by ∼1,000-fold, we hypothesized that EGF receptor (ErbB1) activation may protect the heart against stress-induced injury. To examine this hypothesis, we injected the ErbB1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor tyrphostin AG-1478 (25 mg/kg ip) immediately before mice were exposed to IF. After 3 h, plasma activities of LDH-1 and CK increased. Plasma enzyme activities were as low in control mice (injected with vehicle alone) as in nonfighting mice. In the last experiment, we injected EGF (0.25 mg/kg ip) 20 min before exposing mice to RCE. After 7 h, plasma LDH-1 and CK activities were significantly lower in these animals than in mice injected with vehicle. The effect required ErbB1 activation, because simultaneous administration of AG-1478 completely abolished the effect of exogenous EGF. We conclude that activated ErbB1, by endogenous or exogenous ligands, may protect the heart against stress-induced injury.
