Abstract
Treatment of chick embryos in ovo with IGF-I during the period of normal, developmentally regulated neuronal death (embryonic days 5-10) resulted in a dose-dependent rescue of a significant number of lumbar motoneurons from degeneration and death. IGF-II and two variants of IGF-I with reduced affinity for IGF binding proteins, des(1-3) IGF-I and long R3 IGF-I, also elicited enhanced survival of motoneurons equal to that seen in IGF-I-treated embryos. IGF-I did not enhance mitogenic activity in motoneuronal populations when applied to embryos during the period of normal neuronal proliferation (E2-5). Treatment of embryos with IGF-I also reduced two types of injury-induced neuronal death. Following either deafferentation or axotomy, treatment of embryos with IGF-I rescued approximately 75% and 50%, respectively, of the motoneurons that die in control embryos as a result of these procedures. Consistent with the survival-promoting activity on motoneurons in ovo, IGF-I, -II, and des(1-3) IGF-I elevated choline acetyltransferase activity in embryonic rat spinal cord cultures, with des(1-3) IGF-I demonstrating 2.5 times greater potency than did IGF-I. A single addition of IGF-I at culture initiation resulted in the maintenance of 80% of the initial ChAT activity for up to 5 days, during which time ChAT activity in untreated control cultures fell to 9%. In summary, these results demonstrate clear motoneuronal trophic activity for the IGFs. These findings, together with previous reports that IGFs are synthesized in muscle and may participate in motoneuron axonal regeneration and sprouting, indicate that these growth factors may have an important role in motoneuron development, maintenance, and recovery from injury.

Abstract
The human trkA cDNA was transfected into a malignant human neuroblastoma (NB) cell line (HTLA230) to investigate its role in NB growth and differentiation. This cell line lacks expression of both endogenous trkA and gp75NGFR genes. Transfectants expressing the trkA mRNA and surface-bound receptors transcriptionally activate immediate-early genes (c-fos, c-jun, and jun-B) following nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation. NGF treatment induces growth arrest as well as down-regulation of the amplified N-myc oncogene. Genes selectively expressed in mature neurons (SCG-10, ret proto-oncogene, GAP-43, etc.) are transcriptionally activated, and neurite outgrowth further demonstrates differentiation of transfectants following NGF stimulation. trkA-expressing NB cells remain tumorigenic in nude mice; however, subcutaneous treatment of tumor-bearing mice with NGF induces Schwannian and neuronal cell differentiation similar to the induction seen in human ganglioneuroblastomas. Thus, trkA expression in HTLA230 cells is sufficient to generate a functional NGF receptor complex that leads to growth-arrested and differentiated NB cells in vitro and in vivo in the presence of NGF. Hence, NGF may play a crucial role in NB cell differentiation and regression in vivo.

Abstract
Autophosphorylation sites of growth factor receptors with tyrosine kinase activity function as specific binding sites for Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of signaling molecules. This interaction appears to be a crucial step in a mechanism by which receptor tyrosine kinases relay signals to downstream signaling pathways. Nck is a widely expressed protein consisting exclusively of SH2 and SH3 domains, the overexpression of which causes cell transformation. It has been shown that various growth factors stimulate the phosphorylation of Nck and its association with autophosphorylated growth factor receptors. A panel of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor mutations at tyrosine residues has been used to identify the Nck binding site. Here we show that mutation at Tyr-751 of the PDGF beta-receptor eliminates Nck binding both in vitro and in living cells. Moreover, the Y751F PDGF receptor mutant failed to mediate PDGF-stimulated phosphorylation of Nck in intact cells. A phosphorylated Tyr-751 is also required for binding of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase to the PDGF receptor. Hence, the SH2 domains of p85 and Nck share a binding site in the PDGF receptor. Competition experiments with different phosphopeptides derived from the PDGF receptor suggest that binding of Nck and p85 is influenced by different residues around Tyr-751. Thus, a single tyrosine autophosphorylation site is able to link the PDGF receptor to two distinct SH2 domain-containing signaling molecules.

Abstract
We have used the polymerase chain reaction and Northern blotting to identify protein tyrosine kinases that may play an important role in the process of melanoma initiation and progression. Degenerate primers from the conserved catalytic domain of tyrosine kinase genes were used to amplify and clone partial cDNA sequences from a human melanoma cell line (DX3-LT5.1) and normal human melanocytes. When the melanoma reaction products were sequenced, 13 distinct clones were found, of which one is novel to date and has provisionally been named MEK (for melanocytic kinase). Of the remaining 12 known kinases, only two, ERB-B2 and IGF1-R, have previously been reported in pigment cells. Reaction products from melanocytes included only eight of these 13 sequences. To test for quantitative differences in tyrosine kinase expression between normal and malignant cells, a panel of eight melanoma lines and normal melanocytes was analyzed by Northern blotting. Two tyrosine kinases (JTK-14/TIE and TYRO-9) were detected in some melanomas but were not found in normal melanocytes, whereas others, including MEK, appeared to be overexpressed in some malignant lines. A minority of kinases showed either no change or a reduction in the level of mRNA. Expression of tyrosine kinases varied independently, and individual lines contained various combinations of these enzymes. Our findings are consistent with an increased overall expression of these putative growth factor receptors during melanoma development.

Abstract
Flk2/Flt3 is a recently identified receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in brain, placenta, testis, and primitive hematopoietic cells. The mitogenic signalling potential and biochemical properties of Flk2/Flt3 have been analyzed by using a chimeric receptor composed of the extracellular domain of the human colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of murine Flk2/Flt3. We demonstrate that colony-stimulating factor 1 stimulation of the Flk2/Flt3 kinase in transfected NIH 3T3 fibroblasts leads to a transformed phenotype and generates a full proliferative response in the absence of other growth factors. In transfected interleukin 3 (IL-3)-dependent Ba/F3 lymphoid cells, activation of the chimeric receptor can abrogate IL-3 requirement and sustain long-term proliferation. We show that phospholipase C-gamma 1, Ras GTPase-activating protein, the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase, Shc, Grb2, Vav, Fyn, and Src are components of the Flk2/Flt3 signal transduction pathway. In addition, we demonstrate that phospholipase C-gamma 1, the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase, Shc, Grb2, and Src family tyrosine kinases, but not Ras GTPase-activating protein, Vav, or Nck, physically associate with the Flk2/Flt3 cytoplasmic domain. Cell-type-specific differences in tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 and Shc are observed. A comparative analysis of the Flk2/Flt3 signal cascade with those of the endogenous platelet-derived growth factor and IL-3 receptors indicates that Flk2/Flt3 displays specific substrate preferences. Furthermore, tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 and Shc is similarly affected by totally different growth factors in the same cellular background.

Abstract
Analysis of the localization of receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase-beta (RPTP-beta) by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry indicates that it is predominantly expressed in the developing central nervous system (CNS). RPTP-beta is highly expressed in radial glia and other forms of glial cells that play an important role during development. The immunoreactivity localizes to the radial processes of these cells, which act as guides during neuronal migration and axonal elongation. The pattern of RPTP-beta expression changes with the progression of glial cell differentiation. In the adult, high levels of RPTP-beta are seen in regions of the brain where there is continued neurogenesis and neurite outgrowth. The spatial and temporal patterns of RPTP-beta expression suggest that this receptor phosphatase plays a role in morphogenesis and plasticity of the nervous system.

Abstract
Insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptors are members of the tyrosine kinase family of receptors, and are thought to play an important role in the development and differentiation of neurons. Here we report the presence of an insulin-like peptide and an insulin receptor (dInsR) at the body wall neuromuscular junction of developing Drosophila larvae. dInsR-like immunoreactivity was found in all body wall muscles at the motor nerve branching regions, where it surrounded synaptic boutons. The identity of this immunoreactivity as a dInsR was confirmed by two additional schemes, in vivo binding of labeled insulin and immunolocalization of phosphotyrosine. Both methods produced staining patterns markedly similar to dInsR-like immunoreactivity. The presence of a dInsR in whole larvae was also shown by receptor binding assays. This receptor was more specific for insulin (> 25-fold) than for IGF II, and did not appear to bind IGF I. Among the 30 muscle fibers per hemisegment, insulin-like immunoreactivity was found only on one fiber, and was localized to a subset of morphologically distinct synaptic boutons. Staining in the CNS was limited to several cell bodies in the brain lobes and in a segmental pattern throughout most of the abdominal ganglia, as well as in varicosities along the neuropil areas of the ventral ganglion and brain lobes. Insulin-like peptide and dInsR were first detected by early larval development, well after neuromuscular transmission begins. The developmental significance of an insulin-like peptide and its receptor at the neuromuscular junction is discussed.

Abstract
Here we report that protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases), like their enzymatic counterpart the protein tyrosine kinases, can play an important role in cell differentiation. Expression of the transmembrane PTPase receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (RPTP alpha) is transiently enhanced during neuronal differentiation of embryonal carcinoma (EC) and neuroblastoma cells. Retinoic acid induces wild type P19 cells to differentiate into endoderm- and mesoderm-like cells. By contrast, retinoic acid treatment leads to neuronal differentiation of P19 cells, ectopically expressing functional RPTP alpha, as illustrated by their ability to generate action potentials. Endogenous pp60c-src kinase activity is enhanced in the RPTP alpha-transfected cells, which may be due to direct dephosphorylation of the regulatory Tyr residue at position 527 in pp60c-src by RPTP alpha. Our results demonstrate that RPTP alpha is involved in neuronal differentiation and imply a role for pp60c-src in the differentiation process.

Abstract
Activation of a growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) is accompanied by a rapid autophosphorylation of the receptor on tyrosine residues. Receptor activation has been shown to promote the association of signal-transducing proteins containing SH2 domains (second domain of src homology). These receptor-associated proteins can, in turn, be phosphorylated by the RTK, an event which presumably regulates their activities. It has been suggested that SH2 domains in signal-transducing proteins target these proteins as substrates of the activated RTK. To test this hypothesis, recombinant proteins were generated that contained tyrosine phosphorylation sites of the erbB3 receptor and/or the SH2 domain of c-src. Incorporation of the SH2 domain led to a decrease in KM and an increase in Vmax for the substrate. The KM determined for one chimeric SH2/erbB3 substrate was among the lowest reported for epidermal growth factor RTK substrates. Experiments with a truncated kinase lacking C-terminal autophosphorylation sites indicated that the reduction in KM for these substrates was mediated by interactions between the substrate SH2 domain and phosphotyrosine residues of the RTK. These interactions could also inhibit RTK activity. These results demonstrate that the SH2 domain can effectively target substrates to a RTK and that SH2 domain proteins can regulate RTK activity.

Abstract
Transcription factor p91 contains a SH2 domain and is activated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Here we demonstrate that epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces rapid tyrosine phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p91. Through its SH2 domain, p91 directly interacts with the EGF receptor in a ligand-dependent manner. p91 is a necessary component of an EGF-induced DNA-binding factor that recognizes a previously identified regulatory element, SIE (c-sis-inducible element), in the c-fos gene promoter. Activated p91 stimulates SIE-dependent transcription in vitro. Cotransfection of an SIE-containing reporter with a p91 expression vector shows that p91 is a positive transcriptional regulator of the c-fos gene promoter. These studies suggest that EGF uses a direct signaling pathway to control nuclear transcriptional events.

Abstract
Interferons induce transcriptional activation through tyrosine phosphorylation of the latent, cytoplasmic transcription factor interferon-stimulated gene factor-3 (ISGF-3). Growth factors and cytokines were found to use a similar pathway: The 91-kilodalton subunit of ISGF-3 was activated and tyrosine phosphorylated in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), platelet-derived growth factor, and colony stimulating factor-1. The tyrosine phosphorylated factor acquired DNA binding activity and accumulated in nuclei. Activation required the major sites for autophosphorylation on the EGF receptor that bind Src homology region 2 domain-containing proteins implicated in Ras activation. However, activation of this factor was independent of the normal functioning of Ras.

Abstract
The low-affinity p75 neurotrophin receptor is believed to participate with the Trk receptor tyrosine kinase in the formation of high-affinity binding sites for nerve growth factor (NGF). To investigate the functional significance of the two NGF receptors, a truncated p75 receptor was stably expressed in PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells, yielding cells with greatly reduced levels of wild-type p75 and normal Trk levels. Although these cells were capable of normal differentiation by NGF, very few high-affinity NGF binding sites were detected. These findings indicate that high-affinity binding may be functionally dissociated from biological responses. Furthermore, an increased responsiveness to neurotrophin 3 was observed, as manifested by increased neurite outgrowth. These results suggest that a correct ratio of p75 and p140trk is required to create high-affinity sites and that p75 expression may assist in the discrimination between related but different neurotrophin factors.

Abstract
Genes have to be expressed in specific cell types at appropriate times of development dependent on external signals. cAMP signaling occurs in all cells, thus raising the question of how this signal transduction pattern is integrated into mechanisms determining cell-specific gene expression. We have analyzed expression of the tyrosine aminotransferase gene as a model to study the basis of this cell type specificity of hormone induction. We found that cell-type-specific expression is generated by combined action of cAMP signal-dependent and liver cell-specific transcription factors. The interdependence of the cAMP response element and an element determining liver cell specificity enables a gene to respond to an ubiquitous signal in a cell-specific manner.

Abstract
In this study we describe the cellular distribution of the SH2 and SH3 domains of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) and of the adaptor protein GRB2 following their microinjection into living rat embryo fibroblasts. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, we show that a truncated protein composed of the SH2 and SH3 domains of PLC-gamma was localized to the actin cytoskeleton. A similar localization pattern was observed when only the SH3 domain of PLC-gamma was microinjected. In contrast, a truncated protein composed of only the SH2 domains of PLC-gamma exhibited diffuse cytoplasmic distribution. Microinjected GRB2 protein was localized primarily to membrane ruffles, as was GRB2 protein containing SH2 loss-of-function point mutations. Hence, the localization of GRB2 to membrane ruffles does not require interaction with tyrosine-phosphorylated moieties. However, GRB2 proteins with SH3 loss-of-function point mutations exhibited diffuse cytoplasmic distribution. These results indicate that SH3 domains are responsible for the targeting of signaling molecules to specific subcellular locations.

Abstract
During Caenorhabditis elegans vulval induction, multipotent precursors respond to an inductive signal by generating vulval cells as opposed to non-specialized epidermal cells. Both classical and 'reverse' genetic approaches have revealed that a cascade of nematode homologues of mammalian proto-oncogenes is necessary for induction of the vulva. The inductive signal is a growth factor encoded by the lin-3 gene and its candidate receptor is a tyrosine kinase encoded by the let-23 gene. let-23 acts via a Ras protein encoded by the let-60 gene. A nematode homologue of mammalian raf family protein serine/threonine kinases has been cloned and found to be encoded by the lin-45 gene. Dominant negative lin-45 raf mutants prevent vulval induction. A recessive lin-45 raf mutation prevents the excessive vulval differentiation caused by activated ras, indicating that raf might act downstream of ras during vulval induction.

Abstract
The ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) receptor complex is shown here to include the CNTF binding protein (CNTFR alpha) as well as the components of the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) receptor, LIFR beta (the LIF binding protein) and gp130 [the signal transducer of interleukin-6 (IL-6)]. Thus, the conversion of a bipartite LIF receptor into a tripartite CNTF receptor apparently occurs by the addition of the specificity-conferring element CNTFR alpha. Both CNTF and LIF trigger the association of initially separate receptor components, which in turn results in tyrosine phosphorylation of receptor subunits. Unlike the IL-6 receptor complex in which homodimerization of gp130 appears to be critical for signal initiation, signaling by the CNTF and LIF receptor complexes depends on the heterodimerization of gp130 with LIFR beta. Ligand-induced dimerization of signal-transducing receptor components, also seen with receptor tyrosine kinases, may provide a general mechanism for the transmission of a signal across the cell membrane.

Abstract
The proteins Grb2-Sem-5, Shc and Sos have been implicated in the signalling pathway from tyrosine kinase receptors to Ras. Grb2-Sem-5 binds directly to murine Sos1, a Ras exchange factor, through two SH3 domains. Sos is also associated with ligand-activated tyrosine kinase receptors which bind Grb2-Sem-5, and with the Grb2-Sem-5 binding protein, Shc. Ectopic expression of Drosophila Sos stimulates morphological transformation of rodent fibroblasts. These data define a pathway by which tyrosine kinases act through Ras to control cell growth and differentiation.

Abstract
We have identified transcripts encoding several different forms of rat TrkC, a member of the Trk family of receptor tyrosine kinases that serves as a receptor for neurotrophin-3. Some forms of TrkC lack the intracytoplasmic kinase domain and thus resemble previously defined truncated variants of TrkB. Other forms of TrkC contain variable-sized amino acid insertions within the tyrosine kinase domain. Transcripts encoding all forms of TrkC can be detected throughout the nervous system, displaying substantial overlap as well as mutually exclusive distribution patterns with transcripts for TrkB. Strikingly, only transcripts encoding the truncated forms of TrkB and TrkC are found in astrocytes, peripheral nerve, and nonneural tissues. Finally, forms of TrkC containing insertions within the kinase domain retain their ability to autophosphorylate in response to neurotrophin-3, but cannot mediate proliferation in fibroblasts or neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells.

Abstract
src homology 2 (SH2) domains of intracellular signaling molecules such as phospholipase C-gamma and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase-associated protein p85 represent recognition motifs for specific phosphotyrosine-containing regions on activated growth factor receptors. The binding of SH2 domains to activated growth factor receptors controls the interaction with signaling molecules and the regulation of their activities. In this report, we describe the kinetic parameters and binding affinities of SH2 domains of p85 toward short phosphotyrosine-containing peptides with the amino acid sequence motif YMXM, derived from a major insulin receptor substrate, IRS-1, by using real time biospecific interaction analysis (BIAcore). Associations were specific and of very high affinity, with dissociation constants of 0.3 to 3 nM, between phosphopeptides and the two separate SH2 domains contained within p85. Nonphosphorylated peptides showed no measurable binding, and the interactions were specific for the primary sequence very close to the phosphotyrosine residue. Moreover, the interactions between phosphopeptides and SH2 domains of other signaling molecules were of much lower affinity. Interestingly, the binding of the SH2 domains to the tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides was of high affinity as a result of a very high on rate, of 3 x 10(7) to 40 x 10(7)/M/s; at the same time, the rate of dissociation, of 0.11 to 0.19/s, was rapid, allowing for rapid exchange of associating proteins with the tyrosine phosphorylation sites.

Abstract
During the past year, the biology of epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been investigated in lower organisms (Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila and bacteria). These experiments have produced some surprising results: the identification of defects produced by mutation of EGF-like genes; the role of EGF receptors in bacterial invasion; and the role of EGF-like precursors as receptors for a bacteria toxin.

Abstract
Glial growth factors, proteins that are mitogenic for Schwann cells, and several ligands for the p185erbB2 receptor, are products of the same gene. Alternative splicing of the messenger RNA generates an array of putative membrane-attached, intracellular and secreted signalling proteins, at least some of which are expressed in the developing spinal cord and brain. These factors are probably important in the development and regeneration of the nervous system.

Abstract
Quantitative in situ hybridization and northern blot analysis techniques were used to determine the topographical distribution and levels of mRNA coding for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the tyrosine receptor kinase (trkB) mRNA in the hippocampal formation of two strains of male rat during aging. Age did not change the prevalence or regional distribution patterns of BDNF or trkB mRNA in the hippocampal formation throughout the lifespan of male Sprague-Dawley rats. There also were no significant differences in the prevalence or topographical distribution patterns of trkB mRNA transcripts during aging. Northern blot analysis of hippocampal RNA from male Fischer 344 confirmed that neither BDNF mRNA nor trkB mRNA levels changed with age. These findings suggest that age-related neurodegenerative changes, including the atrophy of the cholinergic septo-hippocampal pathway, are not the result of changes in hippocampal BDNF or trkB mRNA expression. Moreover, the prevalence and distribution of synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25), a neuron-specific protein located in synaptic terminals and a putative marker of synaptic integrity, did not change with age. These findings indicate that altered hippocampal synaptic plasticity which occurs in the aged rat brain is not a reflection of changes in the expression of BDNF or trkB receptor mRNA.

Abstract
Motoneurons promote the accumulation of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at developing neuromuscular synapses. The AChR-inducing activity protein ARIA, which is purified from chicken brain and increases the synthesis of AChRs in chicken myotubes, may play a crucial role in this process. Here we show that ARIA induces the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of a M(r) 185,000 protein (p185) in muscle cells. Phosphorylation of p185 correlates with AChR induction at each stage of ARIA purification. Moreover, medium conditioned by spinal cord motoneurons stimulates AChR synthesis and p185 phosphorylation. Studies with membrane-impermeant reagents and 125I-labeled ARIA indicate that p185 is a transmembrane ARIA-receptor tyrosine kinase. Our data suggests that muscle AChR synthesis can be regulated through tyrosine phosphorylation.

Abstract
Recent studies on nerve growth factor have revealed important new insights into the structure, function and evolution of this prototypical neurotrophic factor. Some of its features are (1) it has a unique three-dimensional fold that has since been found in two other growth factors, (2) it uses the trk proto-oncogene product, which has a tyrosine kinase, as a receptor and (3) it shares homology with at least three other factors, now collectively called neurotrophins, which have a spectrum of target cells.

Abstract
A partial cDNA encoding a novel putative p2, ras guanine nucleotide release-inducing factor (GRF), GRF2, was amplified from murine embryonic stem cells. The presumptive catalytic region of GRF2 is related to the yeast Ras GRF encoded by CDC25. GRF2 is 80% identical to murine CDC25Mm/ras-GRF, but is more similar to yeast CDC25 than to other ras GRFs related to the Drosophila son of sevenless gene product. A 9-kb GRF2 messenger RNA was highly expressed in brain, but GRF2-specific antibodies recognized apparent GRF2 proteins in various mouse tissues in addition to brain. Thus GRF2 represents a novel widely-expressed protein that is highly related to CDC25Mm/ras-GRF, at least in its catalytic domain. Both GRF2 and CDC25Mm/ras-GRF are expressed in murine embryonic stem cells, suggesting that different Ras activators may regulate ras-dependent proliferation and differentiation in early mouse development.
