Abstract
Three gene products, including Myc and the D- and E-type G1 cyclins, are rate limiting for G1 progression in mammalian fibroblasts. Quiescent mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts engineered to express a mutant colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) receptor (CSF-1R 809F) fail to synthesize c-myc and cyclin D1 mRNAs upon CSF-1 stimulation and remain arrested in early G1 phase. Ectopic expression of c-myc or either of three D-type cyclin genes, but not cyclin E, resensitized these cells to the mitogenic effects of CSF-1, enabling them to proliferate continuously in liquid culture and to form colonies in agar in response to the growth factor. Rescue by cyclin D1 was enhanced by c-myc but not by cyclin E and was reversed by infecting cyclin D1-reconstituted cells with a retroviral vector encoding catalytically inactive cyclin-dependent kinase 4. Induction of cyclin D1 mRNA by CSF-1 was restored in cells forced to express c-myc, and vice versa, suggesting that expression of the two genes is interdependent. Cells reconstituted with c-myc were prevented from entering S phase when microinjected with a monoclonal antibody to cyclin D1, and conversely, those rescued by cyclin D1 were inhibited from forming CSF-1-dependent colonies when challenged with a dominant-negative c-myc mutant. Cyclin D mutants defective in binding to the retinoblastoma protein were impaired in rescuing mitogenic signaling. Therefore, Myc and D-type cyclins collaborate during the mitogenic response to CSF-1, whereas cyclin E functions in a separate pathway.

Abstract
The mouse urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene was used as a model macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1)-inducible gene to investigate CSF-1 signalling pathways. Nuclear run-on analysis showed that induction of uPA mRNA by CSF-1 and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) was at the transcriptional level in bone marrow-derived macrophages. CSF-1 and PMA synergized strongly in the induction of uPA mRNA, showing that at least some components of CSF-1 action are mediated independently of protein kinase C. Promoter targets of CSF-1 signalling were investigated with NIH 3T3 cells expressing the human CSF-1 receptor (c-fms). uPA mRNA was induced in these cells by treatment with CSF-1, and a PEA3/AP-1 element at -2.4 kb in the uPA promoter was involved in this response. Ets transcription factors can act through PEA3 sequences, and the involvement of Ets factors in the induction of uPA was confirmed by use of a dominant negative Ets-2 factor. Expression of the DNA binding domain of Ets-2 fused to the lacZ gene product prevented CSF-1-mediated induction of uPA mRNA in NIH 3T3 cells expressing the CSF-1 receptor. Examination of ets-2 mRNA expression in macrophages showed that it was also induced synergistically by CSF-1 and PMA. In the macrophage cell line RAW264, the uPA PEA3/AP-1 element mediated a response to both PMA and cotransfected Ets-2. uPA promoter constructs were induced 60- to 130-fold by Ets-2 expression, and the recombinant Ets-2 DNA binding domain was able to bind to the uPA PEA3/AP-1 element. This work is consistent with a proposed pathway for CSF-1 signalling involving sequential activation of fms, ras, and Ets factors.

Abstract
The Src family of protein tyrosine kinases have been implicated in the response of cells to several ligands. These include platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and colony stimulating factor type 1 (CSF-1, in macrophages and in fibroblasts engineered to express the receptor). We recently described a microinjection approach which we used to demonstrate that Src family kinases are required for PDGF-induced S phase entry of fibroblasts. We now use this approach to ask whether other ligands also require Src kinases to stimulate cells to replicate DNA. An antibody specific for the carboxy terminus of Src, Fyn, and Yes (anti-cst.1) inhibited Src kinase activity in vitro and caused morphological reversion of Src transformed cells in vivo. Microinjection of this antibody was used to demonstrate that Src kinases were required for both CSF-1 and EGF to drive cells into the S phase. Expression of a kinase-inactive form of Src family kinases also prevented EGF- and CSF-1-stimulated DNA synthesis. However, even though the Src family kinases were necessary for both PDGF- and EGF-induced DNA synthesis in Swiss 3T3 cells, the responses to two other potent growth factors for these cells, lysophosphatidic acid and bombesin, were unaffected by the neutralizing antibodies. Therefore, some but not all growth factors required functional Src family kinases to transmit mitogenic responses.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that the membrane proximal region of the cytoplasmic domain of the erythropoietin receptor and other members of the cytokine receptor superfamily may be required for signal transduction. Expression of several deletion mutants of the erythropoietin receptor in Ba/F3 cells showed that a region with homology to the interleukin-2 receptor beta-chain which includes Box 2 is not essential for erythropoietin-dependent cell proliferation. However, a region between Box 1 and Box 2 contains essential residues for proliferative response. Expression of mutant receptors was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis and by Western blotting, which also showed no evidence for expression of endogenous wild-type receptor. These findings are in direct conflict with previously reported mutagenesis studies of the erythropoietin receptor suggesting that mitogenesis may be channelled through more than one pathway depending on the complement of signaling molecules expressed in the cell.

Abstract
Cell transformation is characterized by overt changes in growth control and cell morphology. To study the role of tyrosine residues Y705 and Y807 of v-Fms of the McDonough strain of feline sarcoma virus in cell transformation we replaced them individually with phenylalanine residues. Cells expressing the mutant genes showed mitogenic properties similar to wild-type v-Fms transformed cells. However, the morphology of cells expressing the Y807F mutant remained the same as nontransformed cells. Four phosphoproteins of 190, 120, 55 and 50 kDa were detected in cells expressing the wild-type but were absent in cells expressing the mutant Y807F-v-fms gene.

Abstract
The precise role of src-type kinases as signal transducers has been under intensive investigation but only in a few instances has their role been revealed in any detail. Thus, src, fyn and yes are activated upon stimulation by platelet-derived growth factor or colony-stimulating factor in cells expressing high levels of these receptors. Activation of src-family kinases by other receptor tyrosine kinases such as the epidermal-growth-factor (EGF) receptor has not been directly demonstrated. In this report, we demonstrate EGF-dependent activation of src-family tyrosine kinases in NIH3T3 cells overexpressing the human EGF receptor. Activation is rapid (< 1 min) and persistent (up to 16 h). Furthermore, we show a correlation between the level of EGF receptor expressed and the degree of src-family kinase activation. We show that src-family kinase activity is also activated by addition of EGF to PC12 cells, which endogenously express relatively high levels of EGF receptor. Most strikingly, we show that A431 cells, which endogenously express very high levels of EGF receptor, show 10-fold elevated src-family kinase activity as compared to DHER14 cells, and that this activity is constitutive. This activity is completely blocked by AG1478, a specific inhibitor of the EGF-receptor tyrosine kinase activity, pointing to a direct link between overexpression of the EGF receptor and enhanced src-family kinase activity. Our findings suggest that EGF-dependent src-family kinase activity is detectable only when the levels of EGF receptor reach a specific level. Additionally, high levels of EGF receptor, as in A431 cells, may contribute to the elevated activation of src-family kinases. Sustained src-family kinase activation, similar to that seen in v-src-transformed cells, may play a role in tumorogenesis and tumor maintenance.

Abstract
Fms, the macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor, is normally expressed in myeloid cells and initiates signals for both growth and development along the monocyte/macrophage lineage. We have examined Fms signal transduction pathways in the murine myeloid progenitor cell line FDC-P1. M-CSF stimulation of FDC-P1 cells expressing exogenous Fms resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of a variety of cellular proteins in addition to Fms. M-CSF stimulation also resulted in Fms association with two of these tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, one of which was identified as the 55-kDa Shc, which is shown in other systems to be involved in growth stimulation, and the other was a previously uncharacterized 150-kDa protein (p150). Fms also formed complexes with Grb2 and Sos1, and neither contained phosphotyrosine. Whereas both Grb2 and Sos1 complexed with Fms only after M-CSF stimulation, the amount of Sos1 complexed with Grb2 was not M-CSF dependent. Shc coimmunoprecipitated Sos1, Grb2, and tyrosine-phosphorylated p150, while Grb2 immunoprecipitates contained mainly phosphorylated p150, Fms, Shc, and Sos1. Shc interacted with tyrosine-phosphorylated p150 via its SH2 domain, and the Grb2 SH2 domain likewise bound tyrosine-phosphorylated Fms and p150. Analysis of Fms mutated at each of four tyrosine autophosphorylation sites indicated that none of these sites dramatically affected p150 phosphorylation or its association with Shc and Grb2. M-CSF stimulation of fibroblast cell lines expressing exogenous murine Fms did not phosphorylate p150, and this protein was not detected either in cell lysates or in Grb2 or Shc immunoprecipitates. The p150 protein is not related to known signal transduction molecules and may be myeloid cell specific. These results suggest that M-CSF stimulation of myeloid cells could activate Ras through the nucleotide exchange factor Sos1 by Grb2 binding to either Fms, Shc, or p150 and that Fms signal transduction in myeloid cells differs from that in fibroblasts.

Abstract
The 5' half of the EWS gene has recently been described to be fused to the 3' regions of genes encoding the DNA-binding domain of several transcriptional regulators, including ATF1, FLI-1, and ERG, in several human tumors. The most frequent occurrence of this situation results from the t(11;22)(q24;q12) chromosome translocation specific for Ewing sarcoma (ES) and related tumors which joins EWS sequences to the 3' half of FLI-1, which encodes a member of the Ets family of transcriptional regulators. We show here that this chimeric gene encodes an EWS-FLI-1 nuclear protein which binds DNA with the same sequence specificity as the wild-type parental FLI-1 protein. We further show that EWS-FLI-1 is an efficient sequence-specific transcriptional activator of model promoters containing FLI-1 (Ets)-binding sites, a property which is strictly dependent on the presence of its EWS domain. Comparison of the properties of the N-terminal activation domain of FLI-1 to those of the EWS domain of the fusion protein indicates that EWS-FLI-1 has altered transcriptional activation properties compared with FLI-1. These results suggest that EWS-FLI-1 contributes to the transformed phenotype of ES tumor cells by inducing the deregulated and/or unscheduled activation of genes normally responsive to FLI-1 or to other close members of the Ets family. ES and related tumors are characterized by an elevated level of c-myc expression. We show that EWS-FLI-1 is a transactivator of the c-myc promoter, suggesting that upregulation of c-myc expression is under control of EWS-FLI-1.

Abstract
The antitumor sesquiterpene lactone helenalin, which is found in species of the plant genus Helenium, caused a marked potentiation of the increases in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) produced by mitogens such as vasopressin, bradykinin, and platelet-derived growth factor in Swiss mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. Removing external Ca2+ partly attenuated the increased [Ca2+]i responses caused by helenalin. The increased [Ca2+]i responses occurred at concentrations of helenalin that inhibited cell proliferation. At higher concentrations, helenalin inhibited the [Ca2+]i responses. No change in resting [Ca2+]i was caused by helenalin even at high concentrations. Other helenalin analogues also increased the [Ca2+]i response. Helenalin did not inhibit protein kinase C (PKC) and PKC appeared to play a minor role in the effects of helenalin on [Ca2+]i responses in intact cells. Studies with saponin-permeabilized HT-29 human colon carcinosarcoma cells indicated that helenalin caused an increased accumulation of Ca2+ into nonmitochondrial stores and that the potentiating effect of helenalin on mitogen-stimulated [Ca2+]i responses was due in part to an increase in the inositol-(1,4,5)-trisphosphate-mediated release of Ca2+ from these stores.

Abstract
The activity of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase was examined in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) stimulated with the haematopoietic growth factors colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and granulocyte/macrophage-CSF (GM-CSF). PI 3-kinase was immunoprecipitated from cell lysates using anti-phosphotyrosine antibody or an antibody directed against the 85K subunit of PI 3-kinase, and the activity assayed by the phosphorylation of PI in the presence of [gamma 32P]-ATP. The results demonstrate that CSF-1 increases the activity of PI 3-kinase, as compared to the non-stimulated control, in murine macrophages. Maximum activity was seen after 10 min of stimulation with CSF-1 at 3000-5000 U/ml. The dose-response of CSF-1 is consistent with other biochemical effects of CSF-1 seen in the BMM. GM-CSF also stimulated PI 3-kinase activity although to a lesser extent than CSF-1, correlating well with their degree of mitogenic activity on the BMM. Non-mitogenic macrophage activating agents, such as the phorbol myristate acetate, lipopolysaccharide, concanavalin A and formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, did not significantly increase the PI 3-kinase activity. Furthermore, CSF-1 failed to stimulate PI 3-kinase activity in resident peritoneal macrophages, a population of macrophages with poor proliferative capacity. These results suggest that the PI 3-kinase activity may be involved in the haemopoietic growth factor signalling pathways regulating macrophage growth.

Abstract
Both platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) induce mitogenesis in normal rat kidney (NRK) fibroblasts transformed by the polyoma virus middle T (pmt) oncogene. In unstimulated pmt-NRK cells phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase forms a complex with the middle T protein and pp60c-src. PDGF treatment causes a release of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity from the complex and a simultaneous increase in activity associated with the PDGF receptor. In contrast after treatment with EGF the majority of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity remains associated with the middle T-pp60c-src complex. Proliferation of NRK fibroblasts transformed by the v-src oncogene is already maximal, and no further stimulation is observed with either PDGF or EGF. Neither growth factor induces dissociation of the complex between phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and pp60v-src. These observations suggest that the complex between phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, the middle T protein and pp60c-src is dissociable, and that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase plays different roles in mitogenic signal transduction by the PDGF and EGF receptors.

Abstract
Stimulation of diglyceride production via phospholipase C (PLC) hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine was an early event in the mitogenic action of colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) in the murine macrophage cell line BAC1.2F5 and was followed by a second phase of diglyceride production that persisted throughout the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Addition of phosphatidylcholine-specific PLC (PC-PLC) from Bacillus cereus to the medium of quiescent cells raised the intracellular diglyceride concentration and stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation, although PC-PLC did not support continuous proliferation. PC-PLC treatment did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation or turnover of the CSF-1 receptor. The major protein kinase C (PKC) isotype in BAC1.2F5 cells was PKC-delta. Diglyceride production from PC-PLC did not target PKC-delta, since unlike phorbol esters, PC-PLC treatment neither decreased the electrophoretic mobility of PKC-delta nor increased the amount of GTP bound to Ras, and PC-PLC was mitogenically active in BAC1.2F5 cells in which PKC-delta was downregulated by prolonged treatment with phorbol ester. PC-PLC mimicked CSF-1 action by elevating c-fos and junB mRNAs to 40% of the level induced by CSF-1; however, PC-PLC induced c-myc mRNA to only 5% of the level in CSF-1-stimulated cells. PC-PLC addition to CSF-1-dependent BAC1.2F5 clones that constitutively express c-myc increased [3H]thymidine incorporation to 86% of the level evoked by CSF-1 and supported slow growth in the absence of CSF-1. Therefore, PC-PLC is a component of a signal transduction pathway leading to transcription of c-fos and junB that collaborates with c-myc and is independent of PKC-delta and Ras activation.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic domain of the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) contains a region, proximal to the transmembrane domain, that is essential for function and has homology with other members of the cytokine receptor family. To explore the functional significance of this region and to identify critical residues, we introduced several amino acid substitutions and examined their effects on erythropoietin-induced mitogenesis, tyrosine phosphorylation, and expression of immediate-early (c-fos, c-myc, and egr-1) and early (ornithine decarboxylase and T-cell receptor gamma) genes in interleukin-3-dependent cell lines. Amino acid substitution of W-282, which is strictly conserved at the middle portion of the homology region, completely abolished all the functions of the EpoR. Point mutation at L-306 or E-307, both of which are in a conserved LEVL motif, drastically impaired the function of the receptor in all assays. Other point mutations, introduced into less conserved amino acid residues, did not significantly impair the function of the receptor. These results demonstrate that conserved amino acid residues in this domain of the EpoR are required for mitogenesis, stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation, and induction of immediate-early and early genes.

Abstract
The activation of phosphoinositide 3-hydroxykinase (P13K) is currently believed to represent the critical regulatory event which leads to the production of a novel intracellular signal. We have examined the control of this pathway by a number of cell-surface receptors in NG115-401L-C3 neuronal cells. Insulin-like growth factor-I stimulated the accumulation of 3-phosphorylated inositol lipids in intact cells and the appearance of P13K in antiphosphotyrosine-antibody-directed immunoprecipitates prepared from lysed cells, suggesting that P13K had been activated by a mechanism involving a protein tyrosine kinase. In contrast, P13K in these cells was not regulated by a variety of G-protein-coupled receptors, nerve growth factor acting via a low affinity receptor, or receptors for transforming growth factor-beta and interleukin-1. The receptor-specificity of P13K activation in these cells places significant constraints on the possible physiological function(s) of this pathway.

Abstract
The activity of p21ras is required for the proliferative response to colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1), and signals transduced by both the CSF-1 receptor (CSF-1R) and p21ras stimulate transcription from promoter elements containing overlapping binding sites for Fos/Jun- and Ets-related proteins. A sequence encoding the DNA-binding domain and nuclear localization signal of human c-ets-2, which lacked portions of the c-ets-2 gene product necessary for trans activation, was fused to the bacterial lacZ gene and expressed from an actin promoter in NIH 3T3 cells expressing either the v-ras oncogene or human CSF-1R. Nuclear expression of the Ets-LacZ protein, confirmed by histochemical staining of beta-galactosidase, inhibited the activity of ras-responsive enhancer elements and suppressed morphologic transformation by v-ras as well as CSF-1R-dependent colony formation in semisolid medium. When CSF-1R-bearing cells expressing the Ets-LacZ protein were stimulated by CSF-1, induction of c-ets-2, c-jun, and c-fos ensued, but the c-myc response was impaired. Enforced expression of the c-myc gene overrode the suppressive effect of ets-lacZ and restored the ability of these cells to form colonies in response to CSF-1. NIH 3T3 cells engineered to express a CSF-1R (Phe-809) mutant similarly cannot form CSF-1-dependent colonies in semisolid medium and exhibit an impaired c-myc response, but expression of an exogenous myc gene resensitizes these cells to CSF-1 [M. F. Roussel, J. L. Cleveland, S. A. Shurtleff, and C. J. Sherr, Nature (London) 353:361-363, 1991]. The ability of these cells to respond to CSF-1 was also rescued by enforced expression of an endogenous c-ets-2 gene. The ets family of transcription factors therefore plays a central role in integrating both CSF-1R and ras-induced mitogenic signals and in modulating the myc response to CSF-1 stimulation.

Abstract
The proliferative effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) on human hematopoietic cells have been reported, but the intranuclear mechanism of early signal response to these mitogenic stimuli remains unknown. Using an established human myeloid leukemia cell line (NKM-1) which can grow in serum-free medium in response to G-CSF or M-CSF, we examined expressions of the jun family genes, c-jun, junB, and junD, which are coexpressed by various growth factors in many tissues. In parallel with regrowth from the G0/G1 resting state by addition of recombinant human G-CSF or M-CSF after serum deprivation, NKM-1 cells showed the transient expression of the junB gene with a peak of ninefold above the basal level between 40 and 60 min. In contrast, c-jun expression was not stimulated by these CSFs. JunD expression was constitutively observed at detectable levels. Furthermore, c-fos mRNA was rapidly induced to a peak of 14-fold after CSF stimulation. Transcriptional run-on assays revealed that treatment of serum-starved NKM-1 with 50 ng/ml G-CSF or M-CSF increased the transcription rate of the junB gene and the c-fos gene by 1.8-fold and 2.9-fold, respectively, but did not induce any transcript of the c-jun gene. The results indicate that the expression of the junB and c-fos genes is activated, at least in part, at the transcriptional level in response to these CSFs. These findings suggest that the signal activating c-jun expression might not be involved in the proliferative action of G-CSF and M-CSF but junB may be one of important elements in early response events of the signal transduction system in human CSF-responsive hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
The influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) contains a cytoplasmic domain that consists of 10 to 11 amino acids, of which five residues have sequence identity for 10 of 13 HA subtypes. To investigate properties of these conserved residues, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was performed, using an HA cDNA of influenza virus A/Udorn/72 (H3N2) to substitute the conserved cysteine residues with other residues, to delete the three C-terminal conserved residues, or to remove the entire cytoplasmic domain. The altered HAs were expressed in eukaryotic cells, and the rates of intracellular transport were examined. It was found that substitution of either conserved cysteine residue within the cytoplasmic domain did not affect the rate of intracellular transport, whereas deletion of residues within the C-terminal domain resulted in delayed cell surface expression. All the altered HAs were biologically active in hemadsorption and fusion assays. To investigate whether the wild-type HA and HAs with altered cytoplasmic tails could complement the influenza virus temperature-sensitive transport-defective HA mutant A/WSN/33 ts61S, the HA cDNAs were expressed by using a transient expression system and released virus was assayed by plaque analysis. The wild-type HA expression resulted in a release of approximately 10(3) PFU of virus per ml. Antibody neutralization of complemented virus indicated that the infectivity was due to incorporation of wild-type H3 HA into ts61S virions. Sucrose density gradient analysis of released virions showed that each of the HA cytoplasmic domain mutants was incorporated into virus particles. Virions containing HAs with substitution of the cysteine residues in the cytoplasmic domain were found to be infectious. However, no infectivity could be detected from virions containing HAs that had deletions in their cytoplasmic domains. Possible roles of the HA cytoplasmic domain in forming protein-protein interactions in virions and their involvement in the initiation of the infection process in cells are discussed.

Abstract
To determine whether ras p21 products are necessary for signal transduction mediated by the colony stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R, the c-fms proto-oncogene product), we determined whether CSF-1R and ras activate a common nuclear target and whether the interruption of ras action affects CSF-1R signal transduction. Expression of the NVL3 retrotransposon was activated to the same extent in NIH-3T3 cells by both ras and v-fms oncogenes, and the ras-responsive element located in the long terminal repeat of NVL3 was demonstrated to be a common target for oncogene action. Human recombinant CSF-1 stimulated expression of the NVL3 element 30-fold in NIH-3T3 cells that contained human CSF-1R. Expression of the carboxy-terminal 374 amino acid residues of the human ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP) in cells containing CSF-1R was able to inhibit CSF-1 induction of NVL3 expression by 90%. Expression of the catalytic domain of GAP was also able to suppress transformation by either v-fms or ligand-activated CSF-1R. Expression of the c-jun proto-oncogene was activated by CSF-1R but was insensitive to the action of the catalytic domain of GAP. These results provide genetic evidence that in NIH-3T3 cells, ras p21 is involved in signal transduction mediated by CSF-1R.

Abstract
The colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R) mediates its pleiotropic effects through the coupling of its ligand-activated tyrosine kinase to multiple intracellular effector proteins, whose combined actions determine the magnitude and specificity of the biological response. The interaction of cytoplasmic signalling molecules with CSF-1R is mediated in part by sequence motifs flanking sites of receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. Mutation of an autophosphorylation site at tyrosine 809 in the cytoplasmic domain of human CSF-1R does not significantly reduce its ligand-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity, binding to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, or induction of the immediate early response genes, c-fos and junB (ref.2). Unlike cells bearing wild-type receptors, mouse NIH3T3 cells expressing mutant CSF-1R(Phe 809) were unable to grow in serum-free medium containing human recombinant CSF-1 and did not form colonies in semi-solid medium in its presence. CSF-1 induction of c-myc messenger RNA in these cells was impaired, but enforced expression of an exogenous c-myc gene restored their ability to proliferate in response to the growth factor. These studies demonstrate a receptor-mediated bifurcation of intracellular signal transduction pathways during the immediate early response and assign a central role for c-myc in CSF-1-induced mitogenesis.

Abstract
Stimulation of activated T lymphocytes with interleukin 2 (IL-2) results in rapid increases in intracellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Both the identity of the protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activated by IL-2 receptor ligation and the identities of the critical target proteins for this PTK remain largely undefined. In this article, we demonstrate that stimulation of activated murine or human T cells with IL-2 for 10 to 30 min induces two- to threefold increases in the level of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase activity present in antiphosphotyrosine (p-Tyr) antibody immunoprecipitates from these cells. Furthermore, substantial levels of PtdIns 3-kinase activity were coprecipitated from IL-2-deprived T cells by antibodies to the src-related PTK p59fyn. Cellular stimulation with IL-2 induced a two- to threefold increase in the level of p59fyn-associated PtdIns 3-kinase activity. To examine the effect of a constitutive increase in PtdIns 3-kinase activity on the growth factor responsiveness of activated T cells, murine CTLL-2 cells were transfected with a polyomavirus middle T antigen (MTAg) expression vector. Anti-p-Tyr and anti-p59fyn immunoprecipitates from MTAg-transfected CTLL-2 cells contained three- to sixfold higher levels of PtdIns 3-kinase activity than wild-type cells. Immune complex kinase assays revealed that MTAg expression concomitantly induced a constitutive threefold increase in the PTK activity of p59fyn in these cells. However, stable MTAg expression did not abrogate the dependence of CTLL-2 cells on exogenous IL-2 for continued growth and proliferation.

Abstract
The receptor for colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) is a receptor protein-tyrosine kinase. To study the possible function of CSF-1 receptor autophosphorylation, two autophosphorylation sites, Tyr-706, located in the kinase insert, and Tyr-807, a residue conserved in all protein-tyrosine kinases, were changed independently to either phenylalanine or glycine. Wild-type and mutant receptors were stably expressed in Rat-2 cells. In response to CSF-1, cells expressing Phe- or Gly-706 mutant receptors showed increased growth rate and altered cell morphology. Both the Phe- and Gly-706 mutant receptors associated with and phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase at levels comparable with those of wild-type receptors. However, these mutant receptors differed subtly from each other and from the wild-type receptor in their ability to induce different aspects of the response to CSF-1. The Phe-706 mutant receptor was most strongly affected in its ability to increase growth rate or elevate the levels of c-fos and NGF1A mRNAs, whereas the Gly-706 mutant receptor was most markedly affected in its ability to induce a change in cell morphology or increase the levels of c-jun and NGF1A mRNAs. These findings indicate that Tyr-706 itself, or this region of the receptor, may be important for interaction of the CSF-1 receptor with different signalling pathways. Gly-807 mutant receptors lacked protein-tyrosine kinase activity, failed to respond to CSF-1, and were defective in biosynthetic processing. Phe-807 mutant receptors had 40 to 60% reduced protein-tyrosine kinase activity in vitro. Although cells expressing Phe-807 receptors were able to respond to CSF-1, the changes in growth rate and cell morphology were significantly less than seen with wild-type receptors, and the induction of early response genes was also slightly lower than for the wild-type receptor. In contrast, Phe-807 receptors were equivalent to wild-type receptors when tested for their ability to interact with phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. These findings indicate that phosphorylation of Tyr-807 may be important for full activation of the receptor.

Abstract
Stimulation of activated T lymphocytes with interleukin 2 (IL-2) results in rapid increases in intracellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Both the identity of the protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activated by IL-2 receptor ligation and the identities of the critical target proteins for this PTK remain largely undefined. In this article, we demonstrate that stimulation of activated murine or human T cells with IL-2 for 10 to 30 min induces two- to threefold increases in the level of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase activity present in antiphosphotyrosine (p-Tyr) antibody immunoprecipitates from these cells. Furthermore, substantial levels of PtdIns 3-kinase activity were coprecipitated from IL-2-deprived T cells by antibodies to the src-related PTK p59fyn. Cellular stimulation with IL-2 induced a two- to threefold increase in the level of p59fyn-associated PtdIns 3-kinase activity. To examine the effect of a constitutive increase in PtdIns 3-kinase activity on the growth factor responsiveness of activated T cells, murine CTLL-2 cells were transfected with a polyomavirus middle T antigen (MTAg) expression vector. Anti-p-Tyr and anti-p59fyn immunoprecipitates from MTAg-transfected CTLL-2 cells contained three- to sixfold higher levels of PtdIns 3-kinase activity than wild-type cells. Immune complex kinase assays revealed that MTAg expression concomitantly induced a constitutive threefold increase in the PTK activity of p59fyn in these cells. However, stable MTAg expression did not abrogate the dependence of CTLL-2 cells on exogenous IL-2 for continued growth and proliferation.

Abstract
A phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase activity of unknown biological function associates with tyrosine kinase-containing proteins, including a number of growth factor receptors after ligand stimulation. In the beta platelet-derived growth factor (beta PDGF) receptor, phosphorylation of a specific tyrosine residue within the kinase insert domain was required for its interaction with this enzyme. We show that substitutions of phenylalanine for tyrosine residue 731 or 742 within the kinase insert domain of the alpha PDGF receptor do not impair PDGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor or of an in vivo substrate, phospholipase C-gamma. Moreover, phosphatidylinositol turnover in response to ligand stimulation is unaffected. However, both lesions markedly impair receptor association with PI-3 kinase. Antiphosphotyrosine antibody-recoverable PI-3 kinase was also dramatically reduced in PDGF-stimulated cells expressing either mutant receptor. Since neither mutation abolished PDGF-induced mitogenesis or chemotaxis, we conclude that alpha PDGF receptor-associated PI-3 kinase activity is not required for either of these major PDGF signalling functions.

Abstract
A peptide antiserum (anti-A) directed to the intracellular, juxtamembrane region (residues 552 to 574) of the human colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) precipitated only ligand-activated, native receptors from solution but bound to unstimulated forms after their denaturation. Two peptide antisera (anti-KI1 and -KI2), directed to residues 679 to 700 and 701 to 721, respectively, in the CSF-1R kinase insert (KI) domain and including mapped sites of ligand-induced phosphorylation at Tyr-699 and Tyr-708, bound at least 80% of the receptor molecules expressed in either CSF-1-stimulated or unstimulated cells. Immune complexes formed with anti-KI1, anti-A, or a peptide antiserum to the CSF-1R carboxyl terminus (anti-C-ter) coprecipitated CSF-1R complexed to a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-K) from CSF-1-stimulated cells, whereas anti-KI2 serum did not. In an in vitro assay, binding of CSF-1R to PtdIns 3-K required receptor tyrosine phosphorylation but not CSF-1R-mediated phosphorylation of the lipid kinase, and the association was specifically blocked by anti-KI2 or antibodies to phosphotyrosine. Neither anti-KI1, anti-A, nor anti-C-ter serum inhibited binding. We conclude that (i) only a minority of ligand-activated receptors form a stable complex with PtdIns 3-K in vivo, (ii) efficient binding of the lipid kinase requires receptor tyrosine phosphorylation within the CSF-1R KI domain, and (iii) a region within the KI domain defined by residues 701 to 721 at least partially overlaps the PtdIns 3-K binding site.

Abstract
One approach to the problem of growth factor signal transduction is to identify alterations in growth factor-regulated events in mutants possessing an altered proliferative response. This approach was used in a study of the alterations in protein tyrosine phosphorylation in 22 independently-arising autonomous mutants of the CSF-1-dependent mouse macrophage cell line, BAC1.2F5. Only 4 of the mutants produced CSF-1 and/or factors that were capable of down-regulating the CSF-1 receptor (CSF-1R), suggesting that the majority were altered in the signal transduction pathway for proliferation. All of the mutants possessed lower numbers (13-89%) of cell surface CSF-1Rs than wild type cells. With two possible exceptions, the phosphorylation of the anti-phosphotyrosine-reactive cell surface CSF-1Rs from CSF-1 stimulated cells was directly proportional to cell surface CSF-1R number. In the absence of CSF-1, three of the 22 mutants exhibited tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins that was not observed in wild type cells under the same conditions. The results indicate that this approach will be useful in the analysis of the growth factor regulated pathway for cell proliferation.
