Abstract
The protooncogene product Cbl has emerged as a negative regulator of tyrosine kinases. We have shown previously that Cbl binds to ZAP-70 through its N-terminal tyrosine kinase binding (TKB) domain. In this study, we demonstrate that overexpression of Cbl in Jurkat T cells decreases the TCR-induced phosphorylation of ZAP-70 and other cellular phosphoproteins. Coexpression of Cbl with ZAP-70 in COS cells reproduced the Cbl-induced reduction in the level of phosphorylated ZAP-70. The effect of Cbl was eliminated by the TKB-inactivating G306E mutation in Cbl as well as by a phenylalanine mutation of Tyr292 within the TKB domain binding site on ZAP-70. Notably, the oncogenic Cbl-70Z/3 mutant associated with ZAP-70, but did not reduce the levels of phosphorylated ZAP-70. Overexpression of Cbl, but not Cbl-G306E, in Jurkat T cells led to a decrease in the TCR-induced NF-AT luciferase reporter activity. Overexpression of the TKB domain itself, but not its G306E mutant, functioned in a dominant-negative manner and led to an increase in NF-AT reporter activity. Cbl-70Z/3-overexpressing cells exhibited an increase in both basal and TCR-induced NF-AT luciferase reporter activity, and this trend was reversed by the G306E mutation. Finally, by reconstituting a ZAP-70-deficient Jurkat T cell line, p116, we demonstrate that wild-type ZAP-70 is susceptible to the negative regulatory effect of Cbl, whereas the ZAP-70-Y292F mutant is resistant. Together, our results establish that the linker phosphorylation site Tyr292 mediates the negative regulatory effect of Cbl on ZAP-70 in T cells.

Abstract
We investigated the role of autocrine production of human (h) GH in the attachment and spreading of mammary carcinoma cells in vitro. We used a previously described model system for the study of the autocrine/paracrine role of GH in which the hGH gene (MCF-hGH) or a translation-deficient hGH gene (MCF-MUT) was stably transfected into MCF-7 cells. No differences in attachment to a collagen matrix between MCF-hGH and MCF-MUT cells were observed in either serum-free medium (SFM) or medium containing exogenous hGH, 5% serum, or 10% serum. In contrast, MCF-hGH cells spread more rapidly on a collagen matrix than did MCF-MUT cells. Exogenous hGH and 10% serum interacted with autocrine production of hGH in an additive manner to increase cell spreading. MCF-hGH cells formed filipodia and stress fibers earlier than MCF-MUT cells during the process of cell spreading and possessed marked differences in morphology after spreading. MCF-MUT cells displayed uniform and symmetrical formation of stress fibers, whereas MCF-hGH cells displayed irregular and elongated stress fiber formation. The level of cytoplasmic phosphotyrosine was increased in MCF-hGH compared with MCF-MUT cells during spreading and displayed colocalization with Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). Basal JAK2 tyrosine phosphorylation was increased, and it increased further on spreading in MCF-hGH cells compared with MCF-MUT cells. Transient transfection of JAK2 complementary DNA resulted in interaction with autocrine hGH to increase the rate of cell spreading in MCF-hGH cells compared with MCF-MUT cells. Treatment with a selective JAK2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (AG 490) reduced the rate of MCF-hGH cell spreading to the rate of MCF-MUT cell spreading. Thus, we conclude that autocrine production of hGH enhances the rate of mammary carcinoma cell spreading in a JAK2-dependent manner.

Abstract
Macrophage Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs) mediate the uptake and destruction of antibody-coated viruses, bacteria, and parasites. We examined FcgammaR signaling and phagocytic function in bone marrow-derived macrophages from mutant mice lacking the major Src family kinases expressed in these cells, Hck, Fgr, and Lyn. Many FcgammaR-induced functional responses and signaling events were diminished or delayed in these macrophages, including immunoglobulin (Ig)G-coated erythrocyte phagocytosis, respiratory burst, actin cup formation, and activation of Syk, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2. Significant reduction of IgG-dependent phagocytosis was not seen in hck(-)(/)-fgr(-)(/)- or lyn(-)(/)- cells, although the single mutant lyn(-)(/)- macrophages did manifest signaling defects. Thus, Src family kinases clearly have roles in two events leading to FcgammaR-mediated phagocytosis, one involving initiation of actin polymerization and the second involving activation of Syk and subsequent internalization. Since FcgammaR-mediated phagocytosis did occur at modest levels in a delayed fashion in triple mutant macrophages, these Src family kinases are not absolutely required for uptake of IgG-opsonized particles.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that the Cbl protein plays a negative role in immune receptor signaling; however, the mode of Cbl action in B cell receptor (BCR) signaling still remains unclear. DT40 B cells deficient in Cbl showed enhanced BCR-mediated phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma2 activation, thereby leading to increased apoptosis. A possible explanation for the involvement of Cbl in PLC-gamma2 activation was provided by findings that Cbl interacts via its Src homology 2 (SH2) domain with B cell linker protein (BLNK) after BCR ligation. BLNK is a critical adaptor molecule for PLC-gamma2 tyrosine phosphorylation through its binding to the PLC-gamma2 SH2 domains. As a consequence of the interaction between Cbl and BLNK, the BCR-induced recruitment of PLC-gamma2 to BLNK and the subsequent PLC-gamma2 tyrosine phosphorylation were inhibited. Thus, our data suggest that Cbl negatively regulates the PLC-gamma2 pathway by inhibiting the association of PLC-gamma2 with BLNK.

Abstract
The c-Cbl protooncogene product is a prominent substrate of protein tyrosine kinases and is rapidly tyrosine-phosphorylated upon stimulation of a wide variety of cell-surface receptors. We have identified a novel c-Cbl-interacting protein termed CIN85 with a molecular mass of 85 kDa which shows similarity to adaptor proteins, CMS and CD2AP. CIN85 mRNA is expressed ubiquitously in normal human tissues and cancer cell lines analyzed. CIN85 was basally associated with c-Cbl. For interaction of CIN85 with c-Cbl, the second SH3 domain of CIN85 was shown to serve as a central player. The CIN85-c-Cbl association was enhanced shortly after stimulation of 293 cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and gradually diminished to a basal level, which correlated with a tyrosine phosphorylation level of c-Cbl. Our results suggest that CIN85 may play a specific role in the EGF receptor-mediated signaling cascade via its interaction with c-Cbl.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl and its association with signal-transducing molecules in response to macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) were analyzed by using cell lines which express the wild-type and a mutant M-CSF receptor, Fms. We found that in a clone, F723 TF-1 cells expressing mutant Fms in which tyrosine 723 had been substituted with phenylalanine, the M-CSF stimulation-dependent association between Cbl and Fms was markedly impaired. However, phosphorylation of Cbl and its association with the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase were induced in these mutant cells as seen in the wild-type fms transfectant. These results suggest that phosphorylation of tyrosine 723 is particularly important for the recruitment of Cbl to the M-CSF receptor, but is not required for the phosphorylation and binding of Cbl to signal-transducing molecules such as p85.

Abstract
Adhesive and locomotive properties of cells have key roles in normal physiology and disease. Cell motility and adhesion require the assembly and organization of actin microfilaments into stress fibers, lamellipodia and filopodia, and the formation of these structures is mediated by signalling through Rho; GTPases. Here we identify c-Cbl (a multi-adaptor proto-oncogene product involved in protein tyrosine kinase signalling) as an important regulator of the actin cytoskeleton. By immunofluorescence microscopy we have determined that c-Cbl co-localizes with the adaptor protein Crk to submembranous actin lamellae in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and that c-Cbl's actin localization requires specific SH3-binding sequences. Further, we have found that truncation of this SH3-binding domain in c-Cbl profoundly alters the morphology of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts by inhibiting the formation of actin lamellae, lamellipodia and membrane ruffles. The induction of lamellipodia and membrane ruffles are also inhibited during cell spreading and migration, conditions when these structures are normally most prominent. The inhibitory effect of truncated c-Cbl expression on lamellipodia formation can be reversed by mutational inactivation of its divergent SH2 domain, by the co-expression of constitutively active Rac or by the overexpression of c-Cbl. This study therefore identifies a cytoskeletal role for c-Cbl which may involve the regulation of Crk and Rac, and which is dependent on targeting of c-Cbl to actin lamellae and the ability to recruit signalling protein(s) associated with its divergent SH2 domain.

Abstract
The interplay between serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation was studied in human neutrophils. The direct effects of calyculin and okadaic acid, potent inhibitors of PP1 and PP2A serine/threonine phosphatases, on the patterns of neutrophil phosphorylation, and their effects on the responses of neutrophils to CD32 cross-linking were monitored. After a 2-min incubation with 10-6 M calyculin, a transient tyrosine phosphorylation of a subset of proteins, among which Cbl and Syk, was observed. After a longer incubation (>5 min) with calyculin, concomitant with an accumulation of serine and threonine phosphorylation, neutrophil responses to CD32 cross-linking were selectively altered. Tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl in response to CD32 cross-linking was inhibited by calyculin, and this inhibition was linked with a slower electrophoretic mobility of Cbl as a consequence of its phosphorylation on serine/threonine residues. However, tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk and of the receptor itself were not affected. Furthermore, the mobilization of intracellular calcium stimulated by CD32 cross-linking was totally abrogated by calyculin. Finally, the stimulation of superoxide production observed in response to CD32 cross-linking was enhanced in calyculin-treated cells. These results suggest that serine/threonine phosphorylation events regulate the signaling pathways activated by CD32 cross-linking in neutrophils and identify a novel mechanism of modulation of the functional responsiveness of human neutrophils to CD32 cross-linking.

Abstract
The mammalian proto-oncoprotein Cbl and its homologues in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila are evolutionarily conserved negative regulators of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R). Overexpression of wild-type Cbl enhances down-regulation of activated EGF-R from the cell surface. We report that the Cbl tyrosine kinase-binding (TKB) domain is essential for this activity. Whereas wild-type Cbl enhanced ligand-dependent EGF-R ubiquitination, down-regulation from the cell surface, accumulation in intracellular vesicles, and degradation, a Cbl TKB domain-inactivated mutant (G306E) did not. Furthermore, the transforming truncation mutant Cbl-N (residues 1-357), comprising only the Cbl TKB domain, functioned as a dominant negative protein. It colocalized with EGF-R in intracellular vesicular structures, yet it suppressed down-regulation of EGF-R from the surface of cells expressing endogenous wild-type Cbl. Therefore, Cbl-mediated down-regulation of EGF-R requires the integrity of both the N-terminal TKB domain and additional C-terminal sequences. A Cbl truncation mutant comprising amino acids 1-440 functioned like wild-type Cbl in down-regulation assays. This mutant includes the evolutionarily conserved TKB and RING finger domains but lacks the less conserved C-terminal sequences. We conclude that the evolutionarily conserved N terminus of Cbl is sufficient to effect enhancement of EGF-R ubiquitination and down-regulation from the cell surface.

Abstract
The proto-oncogene product Cbl has emerged as a negative regulator of a number of protein-tyrosine kinases, including the ZAP-70/Syk tyrosine kinases that are critical for signaling in hematopoietic cells. The evolutionarily conserved N-terminal tyrosine kinase-binding domain is required for Cbl to associate with ZAP-70/Syk and for their subsequent negative regulation. However, the role of the remaining C-terminal regions of Cbl remains unclear. Here, we used a COS-7 cell reconstitution system to address this question. Analysis of a series of C-terminally truncated Cbl mutants revealed that the N-terminal half of the protein, including the TKB and RING finger domains, was sufficient to mediate negative regulation of Syk. Further truncations, which delete the RING finger domain, abrogated the negative regulatory effects of Cbl on Syk. Point mutations of conserved cysteine residues or a histidine in the RING finger domain, which are required for zinc binding, abrogated the ability of Cbl to negatively regulate Syk in COS-7 cells and Ramos B lymphocytic cells. In addition, Syk-dependent transactivation of a serum response element-luciferase reporter in transfected 293T cells was reduced by wild type Cbl; mutations of the RING finger domain or its deletion abrogated this effect. These results establish the RING finger domain as an essential element in Cbl-mediated negative regulation of a tyrosine kinase and reveal that the evolutionarily conserved N-terminal half of the protein is sufficient for this function.

Abstract
Lymphocyte adhesiveness is dynamically regulated in response to conditions in the extracellular environment. One mechanism of regulation of integrin adhesion receptors involves a rapid, but transient, increase in integrin function upon T lymphocyte activation. These integrin activating signals can be initiated either via ligation of Ig superfamily members that are coupled to tyrosine kinase cascades, such as the CD3/T cell receptor, CD2, and CD28, or by G protein-coupled receptors for chemokines. Analysis of integrin activation induced by CD3/TCR, CD2 and CD28 suggests a critical role for phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase (PI 3-K). This review summarizes recent insights into PI 3-K-dependent regulation of integrin function in leukocytes, including the mechanisms by which these receptors are coupled to PI 3-K, and potential downstream effectors of PI 3-K that regulate integrin-mediated adhesion in leukocytes.

Abstract
Ubiquitination of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases (RPTKs) terminates signaling by marking active receptors for degradation. c-Cbl, an adapter protein for RPTKs, positively regulates RPTK ubiquitination in a manner dependent on its variant SRC homology 2 (SH2) and RING finger domains. Ubiquitin-protein ligases (or E3s) are the components of ubiquitination pathways that recognize target substrates and promote their ligation to ubiquitin. The c-Cbl protein acted as an E3 that can recognize tyrosine-phosphorylated substrates, such as the activated platelet-derived growth factor receptor, through its SH2 domain and that recruits and allosterically activates an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme through its RING domain. These results reveal an SH2-containing protein that functions as a ubiquitin-protein ligase and thus provide a distinct mechanism for substrate targeting in the ubiquitin system.

Abstract
The four members of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in a complex array of combinatorial interactions involving homo- and heterodimers. Since most cell types express more than one member of the ErbB family, it is difficult to distinguish the biological activities of different homo- and heterodimers. Here we describe a method for inducing homo- or heterodimerization of ErbB receptors by using synthetic ligands without interference from the endogenous receptors. ErbB receptor chimeras containing synthetic ligand binding domains (FK506-binding protein [FKBP] or FKBP-rapamycin-binding domain [FRB]) were homodimerized with the bivalent FKBP ligand AP1510 and heterodimerized with the bifunctional FKBP-FRB ligand rapamycin. AP1510 treatment induced tyrosine phosphorylation of ErbB1 and ErbB2 homodimers and recruitment of Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins (Shc and Grb2). In addition, ErbB1 and ErbB2 homodimers activated downstream signaling pathways leading to Erk2 and Akt phosphorylation. However, only ErbB1 homodimers were internalized upon AP1510 stimulation, and only ErbB1 homodimers were able to associate with and induce phosphorylation of c-Cbl. Cells expressing AP1510-induced ErbB1 homodimers were able to associate with and induce phosphorylation of c-Cbl. Cells expressing AP1510-induced ErbB1 homodimers were able to form foci; however, cells expressing ErbB2 homodimers displayed a five- to sevenfold higher focus-forming ability. Using rapamycin-inducible heterodimerization we show that c-Cbl is unable to associate with ErbB1 in a ErbB1-ErbB2 heterodimer most likely because ErbB2 is unable to phosphorylate the c-Cbl binding site on ErbB1. Thus, we demonstrate that ErbB1 and ErbB2 homodimers differ in their abilities to transform fibroblasts and provide evidence for differential signaling by ErbB homodimers and heterodimers. These observations also validate the use of synthetic ligands to study the signaling and biological specificity of selected ErbB dimers in any cell type.

Abstract
Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaR) of guinea pig neutrophils were ligated and anti-Cbl immunoprecipitates prepared therefrom were assayed for the associated protein tyrosine kinase activity, which increased upon ligation of FcgammaR. The increases were overcome upon activation of cellular protein kinase C by simultaneous addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to the ligated cells. Syk proved to be the most important tyrosine kinase bound to Cbl that served as the major substrate; essentially no tyrosine phosphorylation occurred in the anti-Cbl immunoprecipitates prepared from the cell lysate that had been depleted of Syk by prior immunoprecipitation with anti-Syk antibodies. Exposure of the (32)P-labeled cells to PMA resulted in phosphorylation of cellular Cbl on serine residues. Thus, protein kinase C-induced serine phosphorylation of Cbl suppressed its tyrosine phosphorylation by Syk as a result of tyrosine kinase inhibition by unknown mechanisms, leading to inhibition of Cbl-mediated signaling such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation.

Abstract
T lymphocyte activation through stimulation of the T cell receptor complex and co-stimulatory receptors is associated with acute tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins, which in turn mediate downstream signaling events that regulate interleukin-2 expression and cell proliferation. The extent of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is rapidly attenuated after only 1-2 min of stimulation as a means of tightly controlling the initial signaling response. Here we show that this attenuation of tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, CrkL, and the proto-oncogene Cbl is mimicked by treatment of mouse T lymphocytes or cultured Jurkat cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. This effect is blocked by the specific protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X, but not by PD98059, an inhibitor of MEK1/2 kinase. Activation of protein kinase C by phorbol ester also causes rapid (t(1)/(2) = 2 min) dissociation of both CrkL and p85/phosphoinositide 3-kinase from Cbl concomitant with Cbl tyrosine dephosphorylation. More important, GF109203X treatment of Jurkat cells prior to T cell receptor stimulation by anti-CD3/CD4 antibodies results in an enhanced (2-fold) peak of Cbl phosphorylation compared with that observed in control cells. Furthermore, the rate of attenuation of both Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation and its association with CrkL following stimulation with anti-CD3/CD4 antibodies is much slower in Jurkat cells treated with GF109203X. Taken together, these data provide strong evidence that one or more isoforms of phorbol ester-responsive protein kinase C play a key role in a feedback mechanism that attenuates tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins and reverses formation of signaling complexes in response to T cell receptor activation.

Abstract
SH2/SH3 domain-containing adaptor proteins play a critical role in regulating tyrosine kinase signalling pathways. The major function of these adaptors, such as Grb2, Nck, and Crk, is to recruit proline-rich effector molecules to tyrosine-phosphorylated kinases or their substrates. In recent years dozens of novel proteins have emerged that are capable of associating with the SH2 and the SH3 domains of adaptors. In this review, the author attempts to summarise these novel binding partners of Grb2, Nck, and Crk, and to discuss current controversies regarding function and regulation of protein multicomplexes held together by SH2/SH3 adaptor molecules at the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Abstract
One of the major proteins that is rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated upon stimulation of the TCR/CD3 complex is the 120-kDa product of the c-cbl protooncogene (Cbl). Upon activation, tyrosine-phosphorylated Cbl interacts with the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of several signaling proteins, e.g., phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) and CrkL. In the present study, we report that pretreatment of Jurkat T cells with PMA reduced the anti-CD3-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl and, consequently, its activation-dependent association with PI3-K and CrkL. A specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor (GF-109203X) reversed the effect of PMA on tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl and restored the activation-dependent association of Cbl with PI3-K and CrkL. We also provide evidence that PKCα and PKCθ can physically associate with Cbl and are able to phosphorylate it in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, a serine-rich motif at the C terminus of Cbl, which is critical for PMA-induced 14-3-3 binding, is also phosphorylated by PKCα and PKCθ in vitro. These results suggest that, by regulating tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of Cbl, PKC is able to control the association of Cbl with signaling intermediates, such as SH2 domain-containing proteins and 14-3-3 proteins, which may consequently result in the modulation of its function.

Abstract
SLP-76 and Vav, two hematopoietic cell specific molecules, are critical for T cell development and activation. Following T cell antigen receptor stimulation, SLP-76 and Vav both undergo tyrosine phosphorylation and associate with each other via the SH2 domain of Vav and phosphorylated tyrosines of SLP-76. Furthermore, SLP-76 and Vav have a synergistic effect on interleukin (IL)-2 promoter activity in T cells. In this report, we show that two tyrosines, Tyr-113 and Tyr-128, of SLP-76 are required for its binding to Vav, both in vitro and in intact cells. Surprisingly, we find also that the interaction between SLP-76 and Vav is not required for their cooperation in augmenting IL-2 promoter activity, as the two molecules appear to function in different signaling pathways upstream of IL-2 gene expression. Overexpression of SLP-76 in the Jurkat T cell line potentiates the activities of both nuclear factor of activated T cells and AP-1 transcription factors. In contrast, overexpression of Vav leads to enhanced nuclear factor of activated T cells activity without affecting AP-1. Additionally, overexpression of Vav, but not SLP-76, augments CD28-induced IL-2 promoter activity. These findings suggest that the synergy between SLP-76 and Vav in regulating IL-2 gene expression reflects the cooperation between different signaling pathways.

Abstract
The Cbl proto-oncogene product has emerged as a novel negative regulator of receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases. Our previous observations that Cbl overexpression in NIH3T3 cells enhanced the ubiquitination and degradation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRalpha) and that the expression of oncogenic Cbl mutants up-regulated the PDGFRalpha signaling machinery strongly suggested that Cbl negatively regulates PDGFRalpha signaling. Here, we show that, similar to PDGFRalpha, selective stimulation of PDGFRbeta induces Cbl phosphorylation, and its physical association with the receptor. Overexpression of wild type Cbl in NIH3T3 cells led to an enhancement of the ligand-dependent ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the PDGFRbeta, as observed with PDGFRalpha. We show that Cbl-dependent negative regulation of PDGFRalpha and beta results in a reduction of PDGF-induced cell proliferation and protection against apoptosis. A point mutation (G306E) that inactivates the tyrosine kinase binding domain in the N-terminal transforming region of Cbl compromised the PDGF-inducible tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl although this mutant could still associate with the PDGFR. More importantly, the G306E mutation abrogated the ability of Cbl to enhance the ligand-induced ubiquitination and degradation of the PDGFR and to inhibit the PDGF-dependent cell proliferation and protection from apoptosis. These results demonstrate that Cbl can negatively regulate PDGFR-dependent biological responses and that this function requires the conserved tyrosine kinase binding domain of Cbl.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell kinase (Hck) is a member of the Src-family of protein tyrosine kinases. We have found that upon enzymatic activation of Hck by the heavy metal mercuric chloride, there was a rapid increase in the levels of tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins including the proto-oncogene p120(Cbl). Fibroblasts that are transformed with an activated allele of Hck exhibit constitutive Cbl phosphorylation. Upon Fcgamma receptor activation, a more physiologically relevant extracellular signal, Cbl is tyrosine phosphorylated and the Src-family selective inhibitor, PP1, can prevent this phosphorylation on Cbl. Hck phosphorylates Cbl in vitro and the interaction between Cbl and Hck is direct, requiring Hck's unique, SH3 and SH2 domains for optimal binding. Using a novel estrogen-regulated chimera of Hck we have shown a hormone-dependent association between Hck and Cbl in murine fibroblasts. This work suggests that Cbl serves as a key mediator of Hck induced signalling in hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
Cbl is an adaptor protein that functions as a negative regulator of many signalling pathways that start from receptors at the cell surface. The evolutionarily conserved amino-terminal region of Cbl (Cbl-N) binds to phosphorylated tyrosine residues and has cell-transforming activity. Point mutations in Cbl that disrupt its recognition of phosphotyrosine also interfere with its negative regulatory function and, in the case of v-cbl, with its oncogenic potential. In T cells, Cbl-N binds to the tyrosine-phosphorylated inhibitory site of the protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70. Here we describe the crystal structure of Cbl-N, both alone and in complex with a phosphopeptide that represents its binding site in ZAP-70. The structures show that Cbl-N is composed of three interacting domains: a four-helix bundle (4H), an EF-hand calcium-binding domain, and a divergent SH2 domain that was not recognizable from the amino-acid sequence of the protein. The calcium-bound EF hand wedges between the 4H and SH2 domains and roughly determines their relative orientation. In the ligand-occupied structure, the 4H domain packs against the SH2 domain and completes its phosphotyrosine-recognition pocket. Disruption of this binding to ZAP-70 as a result of structure-based mutations in the 4H, EF-hand and SH2 domains confirms that the three domains together form an integrated phosphoprotein-recognition module.

Abstract
Engagement of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex induces a rapid increase in the activities of Src-family and Syk/Zap-70-family kinases [1] [2]. These activated kinases then induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple intracellular proteins, eventually leading to T-cell activation. One of the prominent substrates for these kinases is the adaptor protein Cbl [3] and recent studies suggest that Cbl negatively regulates upstream kinases such as Syk and Zap-70 [4] [5]. Cbl-b, a homologue of Cbl, is widely expressed in many tissues and cells including hematopoietic cells [6] [7]. Cbl-b undergoes rapid tyrosine phosphorylation upon stimulation of the TCR and cytokine receptors [8] [9]. The role of Cbl-b is unclear, however. Here, we show that overexpression of Cbl-b in T cells induced the constitutive activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). A loss-of-function mutation in Cbl-b disrupted the interaction between Cbl-b and Zap-70 and nearly completely abrogated the Cbl-b-mediated activation of NFAT. Unlike the proposed role of Cbl as a negative regulator, our results suggest that the Cbl homologue Cbl-b has a positive role in T-cell signaling, most likely via a direct interaction with the upstream kinase Zap-70.

Abstract
Regulatory interactions among individual receptor-coupled signal transduction systems are critically important for establishing cellular responses in the face of multiple stimuli. In this study, potential regulatory interactions between signal transduction systems activated by growth factor receptors and by G-protein-coupled receptors were examined using human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells which express endogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) and muscarinic M3 receptors. Activation of muscarinic receptors with carbachol was found to inhibit EGF-induced signaling, including tyrosine phosphorylation of the adaptor protein Cbl and of the EGF receptor, and complex formation between Shc proteins and the EGF receptor and Grb2. Protein kinase C, which is activated by muscarinic M3 receptors, mediated this inhibitory cross-talk. Activation of EGF receptors was found to inhibit muscarinic receptor-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase and paxillin. Reactive oxygen species, which are formed as components of the EGF signaling cascade, mediated this inhibitory cross-talk. These mutual inhibitory interactions demonstrate novel mechanisms for neuronal integration of multiple signals generated by activation of receptors by neurotransmitters and growth factors.

Abstract
We previously showed that an oncogenic Cbl mutant (70Z) is constitutively active in transcriptional activation of nuclear factor at activated T cells (NFAT). However, the mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. Here we analyzed the effects of 70Z mutations at an amino-terminal loss of function site (Gly-306) and at carboxyl-terminal potential tyrosine or serine phosphorylation sites on association with signaling proteins and on NFAT activation. Mutation at Gly-306 of 70Z disrupted its association with Zap-70 and almost completely abolished its ability to induce NFAT activation under basal and ionomycin-stimulated conditions. However, mutations at potential tyrosine or serine phosphorylation sites had little effect. In fact, expression of 70Z with Tyr-700, Tyr-731, or Tyr-774 mutated to Phe increased NFAT activity in comparison with unmutated 70Z. These findings suggest that an amino terminus-mediated interaction of 70Z with Zap-70 plays a positive role and that a carboxyl terminus-mediated, phosphotyrosine-dependent interaction with their binding proteins plays a negative role in 70Z-mediated NFAT activation. In support of this notion are the observations that 70Z reduced T cell receptor-induced NFAT activation and that wild-type Cbl further inhibited this event, suggesting that both 70Z and wild-type Cbl employ a similar mechanism by which Cbl proteins dually regulate T cell receptor-mediated signaling.

Abstract
Cbl-b, a mammalian homolog of Cbl, consists of an N-terminal region (Cbl-b-N) highly homologous to oncogenic v-Cbl, a Ring finger, and a C-terminal region containing multiple proline-rich stretches and potential tyrosine phosphorylation sites. In the present study, we demonstrate that upon engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR), endogenous Cbl-b becomes rapidly tyrosine-phosphorylated. In heterogeneous COS-1 cells, Cbl-b was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by both Syk- (Syk/Zap-70) and Src- (Fyn/Lck) family kinases, with Syk kinase inducing the most prominent effect. Syk associates and phosphorylates Cbl-b in Jurkat T cells. A Tyr-316 Cbl-binding site in Syk was required for the association with and for the maximal tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl-b. Mutation at a loss-of-function site (Gly-298) in Cbl-b-N disrupts its interaction with Syk. Cbl-b constitutively binds Grb2 and becomes associated with Crk-L upon TCR stimulation. The Grb2- and the Crk-L-binding regions were mapped to the C-terminus of Cbl-b. The Crk-L-binding sites were further determined to be Y655DVP and Y709KIP, with the latter being the primary binding site. Taken together, these results implicate that Cbl-b is involved in TCR-mediated intracellular signaling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND . Integrins induce the formation of large complexes of cytoskeletal and signaling proteins, which regulate many intracellular processes. The activation and assembly of signaling complexes involving focal adhesion kinase (FAK) occurs late in integrin signaling, downstream from actin polymerization. Our previous studies indicated that integrin-mediated activation of the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Syk in hematopoietic cells is independent of FAK and actin polymerization, and suggested the existence of a distinct signaling pathway regulated by Syk. RESULTS . Multiple proteins were found to be activated by Syk, downstream of engagement of the platelet/megakaryocyte-specific integrin alphaIIbbeta3. The guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav1 was inducibly phosphorylated in a Syk-dependent manner in cells following their attachment to fibrinogen. Together, Syk and Vav1 triggered lamellipodia formation in fibrinogen-adherent cells and both Syk and Vav1 colocalized with alphaIIbbeta3 in lamellipodia but not in focal adhesions. Additionally, Syk and Vav1 cooperatively induced activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) and the kinase Akt, and phosphorylation of the oncoprotein Cbl in fibrinogen-adherent cells. Activation of all of these proteins by Syk and Vav1 was not dependent on actin polymerization. CONCLUSIONS . Syk and Vav1 regulate a unique integrin signaling pathway that differs from the FAK pathway in its proximity to the integrin itself, its localization to lamellipodia, and its activation, which is independent of actin polymerization. This pathway may regulate multiple downstream events in hematopoietic cells, including Rac-induced lamellipodia formation, tyrosine phosphorylation of Cbl, and activation of JNK, ERK2 and the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase-regulated kinase Akt.
