Adapter protein with a pleckstrin homology (PH) and an Src homology 2 (SH2) domain (APS) and SH2-B are adapter proteins and substrates that interact with the activation loop of the insulin-receptor (IR) kinase. These proteins are homologous and share substantial sequence similarity. We previously showed [Ahmed, Smith and Pillay, FEBS Lett. 475, 31–34], for the first time, that insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of APS led to interaction with c-Cbl in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in transfected Chinese-hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In the present study, we find that insulin stimulates the membrane translocation and phosphorylation of APS to a much greater extent than SH2-B, despite the structural similarity of these proteins. Expression of APS or SH2-B delays IR tyrosine and IR substrate (IRS) dephosphorylation. This enhancement of signalling is also observed downsteam of the receptor. In control cells that lack APS, following insulin stimulation, extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and Akt kinase reach maximal activation and then decline to basal levels by 60min. In contrast, in APS- and SH2-B-expressing cells, ERK and Akt kinase activation remains at peak levels at 60min. These effects may occur because these proteins either stabilize the active conformation or prevent dephosphorylation of the IR. We therefore conclude that, despite the ability to couple to c-Cbl, APS functions as a positive regulator of IR signalling and, although SH2-B is a poor substrate for the IR, its association with the IR allows it to regulate pathways downstream of the receptor independently of its phosphorylation.

A variety of flavonoids are suggested to be useful for the treatment of brain-related disorders, including dementia and depression. An investigation on the characteristics of the extracted compounds of Iris tenuifolia Pall. (IT) is of much interest, as this plant has been used as a traditional medicine. In the present study, we examined the effect of total flavonoids obtained from IT on cultured cortical neurons under oxidative-stress and found that pretreatment with IT flavonoids significantly inhibited H 2 O 2-induced cell death in cortical neurons. Such a survival-promoting effect by IT flavonoids was partially blocked by inhibitors for extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) cascades, both of which are known as survival-promoting signaling molecules. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of Src homology-2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase2 (Shp2) was induced by IT flavonoids, and the protective effect of IT flavonoids was abolished by NSC87877, an inhibitor for Shp2, suggesting the involvement of Shp2-mediated intracellular signaling in flavonoid-dependent neuroprotection.

Elevated levels of intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i) inhibit Na+/H+exchanger 3 (NHE3) activity in the intact intestine. We previously demonstrated that PLC-γ directly binds NHE3, an interaction that is necessary for [Ca2+]iinhibition of NHE3 activity, and that PLC-γ Src homology 2 (SH2) domains may scaffold Ca2+signaling proteins necessary for regulation of NHE3 activity. [Ca2+]iregulation of NHE3 activity is also c-Src dependent; however, the mechanism by which c-Src is involved is undetermined. We hypothesized that the SH2 domains of PLC-γ might link c-Src to NHE3-containing complexes to mediate [Ca2+]iinhibition of NHE3 activity. In Caco-2/BBe cells, carbachol (CCh) decreased NHE3 activity by ∼40%, an effect abolished with the c-Src inhibitor PP2. CCh treatment increased the amount of active c-Src as early as 1 min through increased Y416phosphorylation. Coimmunoprecipitation demonstrated that c-Src associated with PLC-γ, but not NHE3, under basal conditions, an interaction that increased rapidly after CCh treatment and occurred before the dissociation of PLC-γ and NHE3 that occurred 10 min after CCh treatment. Finally, direct binding to c-Src only occurred through the PLC-γ SH2 domains, an interaction that was prevented by blocking the PLC-γ SH2 domain. This study demonstrated that c-Src 1) activity is necessary for [Ca2+]iinhibition of NHE3 activity, 2) activation occurs rapidly (∼1 min) after CCh treatment, 3) directly binds PLC-γ SH2 domains and associates dynamically with PLC-γ under elevated [Ca2+]iconditions, and 4) does not directly bind NHE3. Under elevated [Ca2+]iconditions, PLC-γ scaffolds c-Src into NHE3-containing multiprotein complexes before dissociation of PLC-γ from NHE3 and subsequent endocytosis of NHE3.

Phagocytosis by macrophages and neutrophils involves the spatial and temporal reorganisation of the actin-based cytoskeleton at sites of particle ingestion. Local polymerisation of actin filaments supports the protrusion of pseudopodia that eventually engulf the particle. Here we have investigated in detail the cytoskeletal events initiated upon engagement of Fc receptors in macrophages. Ena/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) proteins were recruited to phagosomes forming around opsonised particles in both primary and immortalised macrophages. Not only did the localisation of Ena/VASP proteins coincide, spatially and temporally, with the phagocytosis-induced reorganisation of actin filaments, but their recruitment to the phagocytic cup was required for the remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton, extension of pseudopodia and efficient particle internalisation. We also report that SLP-76, Vav and profilin were recruited to forming phagosomes. Upon induction of phagocytosis, a large molecular complex, consisting in part of Ena/VASP proteins, the Fyn-binding/SLP-76-associated protein (Fyb/SLAP), Src-homology-2 (SH2)-domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76), Nck, and the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), was formed. Our findings suggest that activation of Fcγ receptors triggers two signalling events during phagocytosis: one through Fyb/SLAP that leads to recruitment of VASP and profilin; and another through Nck that promotes the recruitment of WASP. These converge to regulate actin polymerisation, controlling the assembly of actin structures that are essential for the process of phagocytosis.

c-Src plays an important role in bone resorption by osteoclasts. Here, we show using wild-type and ship−/− osteoclasts that Src homology 2 (SH2)-containing 5′-inositol phosphatase (SHIP) appeared to negatively regulate bone resorption activated by c-Src. SHIP was found to localize to podosomes under the influence of c-Src, and the presence of either the amino-terminal region comprising the SH2 domain or the carboxyl-terminal region was sufficient for its localization. Although SHIP lacking a functional SH2 domain was still found in podosomes, it could not rescue the hyper-bone resorbing activity and hypersensitivity to receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand in ship−/− osteoclasts, suggesting that the localization of SHIP to podosomes per se was not sufficient and the SH2 domain was indispensable for its function. Cas and c-Cbl, known to function in podosomes of osteoclasts, were identified as novel proteins binding to the SHIP SH2 domain by mass spectrometric analysis, and this interaction appeared to be dependent on the Src kinase activity. These results demonstrate that c-Src enhances the translocation of SHIP to podosomes and regulates its function there through the SH2 domain, leading to an attenuation of bone resorption.
