Abstract
Despite the identification of many susceptibility genes our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms responsible for complex disease remains limited. Here, we identified a type 2 diabetes disease module in endosomes, and validate it for functional relevance on selected nodes. Using hepatic Golgi/endosomes fractions, we established a proteome of insulin receptor-containing endosomes that allowed the study of physical protein interaction networks on a type 2 diabetes background. The resulting collated network is formed by 313 nodes and 1147 edges with a topology organized around a few major hubs with Cdk2 displaying the highest collective influence. Overall, 88% of the nodes are associated with the type 2 diabetes genetic risk, including 101 new candidates. The Type 2 diabetes module is enriched with cytoskeleton and luminal acidification–dependent processes that are shared with secretion-related mechanisms. We identified new signaling pathways driven by Cdk2 and PTPLAD1 whose expression affects the association of the insulin receptor with TUBA, TUBB, the actin component ACTB and the endosomal sorting markers Rab5c and Rab11a. Therefore, the interactome of internalized insulin receptors reveals the presence of a type 2 diabetes disease module enriched in new layers of feedback loops required for insulin signaling, clearance and islet biology.

Abstract
Insulin signalling begins with binding to its cell surface insulin receptor (IR), which is a tyrosine kinase. The insulin receptor kinase (IRK) is subsequently autophosphorylated and activated to tyrosine phosphorylate key cellular substrates that are essential for entraining the insulin response. Although IRK activation begins at the cell surface, it is maintained and augmented following internalization into the endosomal system (ENS). The peroxovanadium compounds (pVs) were discovered to activate the IRK in the absence of insulin and lead to a full insulin response. Thus, IRK activation is both necessary and sufficient for insulin signalling. Furthermore, this could be shown to occur with activation of only the endosomal IRK. The mechanism of pV action was shown to be the inhibition of IRK-associated phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Our studies showed that the duration and intensity of insulin signalling are modulated within ENS by the recruitment of cellular substrates to ENS; intra-endosomal acidification, which promotes dissociation of insulin from the IRK; an endosomal acidic insulinase, which degrades intra-endosomal insulin; and IRK-associated PTPs, which dephosphorylate and, hence, deactivate the IRK. Therefore, the internalization of IRKs is central to insulin signalling and its regulation.

Abstract
The growing worldwide prevalence of overnutrition and underexertion threatens the gains that we have made against atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and other maladies. Chronic overnutrition causes the atherometabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of seemingly unrelated health problems characterized by increased abdominal girth and body-mass index, high fasting and postprandial concentrations of cholesterol- and triglyceride-rich apoB-lipoproteins (C-TRLs), low plasma HDL levels, impaired regulation of plasma glucose concentrations, hypertension, and a significant risk of developing overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In addition, individuals with this syndrome exhibit fatty liver, hypercoagulability, sympathetic overactivity, a gradually rising set-point for body adiposity, a substantially increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and--crucially--hyperinsulinemia. Many lines of evidence indicate that each component of the atherometabolic syndrome arises, or is worsened by, pathway-selective insulin resistance and responsiveness (SEIRR). Individuals with SEIRR require compensatory hyperinsulinemia to control plasma glucose levels. The result is overdrive of those pathways that remain insulin-responsive, particularly ERK activation and hepatic de-novo lipogenesis (DNL), while carbohydrate regulation deteriorates. The effects are easily summarized: if hyperinsulinemia does something bad in a tissue or organ, that effect remains responsive in the atherometabolic syndrome and T2DM; and if hyperinsulinemia might do something good, that effect becomes resistant. It is a deadly imbalance in insulin action. From the standpoint of human health, it is the worst possible combination of effects. In this review, we discuss the origins of the atherometabolic syndrome in our historically unprecedented environment that only recently has become full of poorly satiating calories and incessant enticements to sit. Data are examined that indicate the magnitude of daily caloric imbalance that causes obesity. We also cover key aspects of healthy, balanced insulin action in liver, endothelium, brain, and elsewhere. Recent insights into the molecular basis and pathophysiologic harm from SEIRR in these organs are discussed. Importantly, a newly discovered oxide transport chain functions as the master regulator of the balance amongst different limbs of the insulin signaling cascade. This oxide transport chain--abbreviated 'NSAPP' after its five major proteins--fails to function properly during chronic overnutrition, resulting in this harmful pattern of SEIRR. We also review the origins of widespread, chronic overnutrition. Despite its apparent complexity, one factor stands out. A sophisticated junk food industry, aided by subsidies from willing governments, has devoted years of careful effort to promote overeating through the creation of a new class of food and drink that is low- or no-cost to the consumer, convenient, savory, calorically dense, yet weakly satiating. It is past time for the rest of us to overcome these foes of good health and solve this man-made epidemic.

Abstract
Insulin is internalized with its cognate receptor into the endosomal apparatus rapidly after binding to hepatocytes. We performed a bioinformatic screen of Golgi/endosome hepatic protein fractions and found that ATIC, which is a rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo purine biosynthesis pathway, and PTPLAD1 are associated with insulin receptor (IR) internalization. The IR interactome (IRGEN) connects ATIC to AMPK within the Golgi/endosome protein network (GEN). Forty-five percent of the IR Golgi/endosome protein network have common heritable variants associated with type 2 diabetes, including ATIC and AMPK. We show that PTPLAD1 and AMPK are rapidly compartmentalized within the plasma membrane (PM) and Golgi/endosome fractions after insulin stimulation and that ATIC later accumulates in the Golgi/endosome fraction. Using an in vitro reconstitution system and siRNA-mediated partial knockdown of ATIC and PTPLAD1 in HEK293 cells, we show that both ATIC and PTPLAD1 affect IR tyrosine phosphorylation and endocytosis. We further show that insulin stimulation and ATIC knockdown readily increase the level of AMPK-Thr172 phosphorylation in IR complexes. We observed that IR internalization was markedly decreased after AMPKα2 knockdown, and treatment with the ATIC substrate AICAR, which is an allosteric activator of AMPK, increased IR endocytosis in cultured cells and in the liver. These results suggest the presence of a signaling mechanism that senses adenylate synthesis, ATP levels, and IR activation states and that acts in regulating IR autophosphorylation and endocytosis.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are a large family of enzymes that generally oppose the actions of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Genetic polymorphisms for particular PTPs are associated with altered risk of both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Moreover, recent evidence suggests that PTPs play crucial roles in metabolism. They can act as regulators of liver homeostasis, food intake, or immune-mediated pancreatic b cell death. In this review we describe the mechanisms by which different members of the non-receptor PTP (PTPN) family influence metabolic physiology. This 'metabolic job' of PTPs is discussed in depth and the role of these proteins in different cell types compared. Understanding the pathways regulated by PTPs will provide novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Aberrant expression and activation of FGFR3 is associated with disease states including bone dysplasia and malignancies of bladder, cervix, and bone marrow. MS analysis of protein-phosphotyrosine in multiple myeloma cells revealed a prevalent phosphorylated motif, D/EYYR/K, derived from the kinase domain activation loops of tyrosine kinases including FGFR3 corresponding to a recognition sequence of protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTPN1. Knockdown of PTPN1 or the related enzyme PTPN2 by RNAi resulted in ligand-independent activation of FGFR3. Modulation of FGFR3 activation loop phosphorylation by both PTPN1 and PTPN2 was a function of receptor trafficking and phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP) compartmentalization. The FGFR3 activation loop motif DYYKK(650) is altered to DYYKE(650) in the oncogenic variant FGFR3(K650E) , and consequently it is constitutively fully activated and unaffected by activation loop phosphorylation. FGFR3(K650E) was nevertheless remarkably sensitive to negative regulation by PTPN1 and PTPN2. This suggests that in addition to modulating FGFR3 phosphorylation, PTPN1 and PTPN2 constrain the kinase domain by fostering an inactive-state. Loss of this constraint in response to ligand or impaired PTPN1/N2 may initiate FGFR3 activation. These results suggest a model wherein PTP expression levels may define conditions that select for ectopic FGFR3 expression and activation during tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Much emphasis has been given to vanadium compounds as potential therapeutic reagents for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Thus far, no vanadium compound has proven efficacious for long-term treatment of this disease in humans. Therefore, in review of the research literature, our goal has been to identify properties of vanadium compounds that are likely to favor physiological and biochemical compatibility for further development as therapeutic reagents. We have, therefore, limited our review to those vanadium compounds that have been used in both in vivo experiments with small, laboratory animals and in in vitro studies with primary or cultured cell systems and for which pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics results have been reported, including vanadium tissue content, vanadium and ligand lifetime in the bloodstream, structure in solution, and interaction with serum transport proteins. Only vanadyl (VO2+) chelates fulfill these requirements despite the large variety of vanadium compounds of different oxidation states, ligand structure, and coordination geometry synthesized as potential therapeutic agents. Extensive review of research results obtained with use of organic VO2+-chelates shows that the vanadyl chelate bis(acetylacetonato)oxidovanadium(IV) [hereafter abbreviated as VO(acac)2], exhibits the greatest capacity to enhance insulin receptor kinase activity in cells compared to other organic VO2+-chelates, is associated with a dose-dependent capacity to lower plasma glucose in diabetic laboratory animals, and exhibits a sufficiently long lifetime in the blood stream to allow correlation of its dose-dependent action with blood vanadium content. The properties underlying this behavior appear to be its high stability and capacity to remain intact upon binding to serum albumin. We relate the capacity to remain intact upon binding to serum albumin to the requirement to undergo transcytosis through the vascular endothelium to gain access to target tissues in the extravascular space. Serum albumin, as the most abundant transport protein in the blood stream, serves commonly as the carrier protein for small molecules, and transcytosis of albumin through capillary endothelium is regulated by a Src protein tyrosine kinase system. In this respect it is of interest to note that inorganic VO2+ has the capacity to enhance insulin receptor kinase activity of intact 3T3-L1 adipocytes in the presence of albumin, albeit weak; however, in the presence of transferrin no activation is observed. In addition to facilitating glucose uptake, the capacity of VO2+- chelates for insulin-like, antilipolytic action in primary adipocytes has also been reviewed. We conclude that measurement of inhibition of release of only free fatty acids from adipocytes stimulated by epinephrine is not a sufficient basis to ascribe the observations to purely insulin-mimetic, antilipolytic action. Adipocytes are known to contain both phosphodiesterase-3 and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE3 and PDE4) isozymes, of which insulin antagonizes lipolysis only through PDE3B. It is not known whether the other isozyme in adipocytes is influenced directly by VO2+- chelates. In efforts to promote improved development of VO2+- chelates for therapeutic purposes, we propose synergism of a reagent with insulin as a criterion for evaluating physiological and biochemical specificity of action. We highlight two organic compounds that exhibit synergism with insulin in cellular assays. Interestingly, the only VO2+- chelate for which this property has been demonstrated, thus far, is VO(acac)2.

Abstract
The insulin receptor and insulin signaling proteins downstream the receptor reside in different subcellular compartments and undergo redistribution within the cell upon insulin activation. Endocytosis of the insulin-receptor complex, by mediating ligand degradation and receptor dephosphorylation, is generally viewed as a mechanism which attenuates or arrests insulin signal transduction. However, several observations suggest that insulin receptor endocytosis and/or recruitement of insulin signaling proteins to endosomes are also involved in a positive regulation of insulin signaling: (1) upon internalization, the insulin receptor remains transiently phosphorylated and activated; (2) in insulin-stimulated cells or tissues, signaling proteins of the PI3K/Akt and Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk pathways are recruited to endosomes or other intracellular compartments, in which they undergo phosphorylation and/or activation; and (3) depletion or overexpression of proteins involved in the regulation of membrane trafficking and endocytosis interfere with insulin signaling. These observations support a spatial and temporal regulation of insulin signal transduction and reinforce the concept that, as for other membrane signaling receptors, endocytosis and signaling are functionally linked.

Abstract
Insulin binding to insulin receptor (IR) at the cell surface results in the activation of IR kinase and initiates the translocation of insulin-IR complexes to clathrin-coated pits and to early endosomes containing internalized but still active receptors. In liver parenchyma, several mechanisms are involved in the regulation of endosomal IR tyrosine kinase activity. Two of these regulatory mechanisms are at the level of intraendosomal ligand. First, a progressive decrease in endosomal pH mediated by the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase proton pump promotes dissociation of the insulin-IR complex. Second, free dissociated insulin is degraded by a soluble endosomal acidic insulinase, which has been identified as aspartic acid protease cathepsin D. This enzyme catalyzes the cleavage of insulin at the Phe(B24)-Phe(B25) bond, generating a major clipped molecule, A(1-21)-B(1-24) insulin, that can no longer bind to IR within endosomes. Concomitant with, or shortly after, the tyrosine-phosphorylated IR is deactivated by two independent processes: its rapid dephosphorylation by endosome-associated phosphotyrosine phosphatase(s) and its association with the molecular adaptor Grb14, with resulting inhibition of IR catalytic activity. By mediating the removal and degradation of circulating insulin, as well as the deactivation of the activated IR, internalization of the insulin-receptor complex into endosomes represents a major mechanism involved in the negative regulation of insulin signaling.

Abstract
Recent studies reveal that COP1 suppresses the expression of gluconeogenetic genes and prohibits hepatic glucose production. To get more insight into COP1 in hepatic cells, we examined the impact of COP1 on insulin-responsive genes and insulin signaling. We found that COP1 increased the responsiveness of insulin-modulated genes to insulin in that it promoted the expression of insulin-induced genes and inhibited that of insulin-suppressed genes and that COP1 enhanced insulin signaling as it promoted phosphorylation of Akt and ERK as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of IRβ induced by insulin. To delineate the mechanism under which COP1 modulates insulin signaling, we examined the possibility that COP1 modulates the activity of PTP1B, the major insulin receptor tyrosine phosphatase. The results indicated that COP1 physically interacted with PTP1B and suppressed PTP1B phosphatase activity as well as the association of PTP1B with IRβ. We suggest that COP1 is a positive regulator of hepatic insulin signaling.

Abstract
Using proteomics and immunofluorescence, we demonstrated epidermal growth factor (EGF) induced recruitment of extrinsic V(1) subunits of the vacuolar (H(+))-ATPase (V-ATPase) to rat liver endosomes. This was accompanied by reduced vacuolar pH. Bafilomycin, an inhibitor of V-ATPase, inhibited EGF-stimulated DNA synthesis and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activation as indicated by a decrease in eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding 1 (4E-BP1) phosphorylation and p70 ribosomal S6 protein kinase (p70S6K) phosphorylation and kinase activity. There was no corresponding inhibition of EGF-induced Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) activation. Chloroquine, a neutralizer of vacuolar pH, mimicked bafilomycin effects. Bafilomycin did not inhibit the association of mTORC1 with Raptor nor did it affect AMP-activated protein kinase activity. Rather, the intracellular concentrations of essential but not non-essential amino acids were decreased by bafilomycin in EGF-treated primary rat hepatocytes. Cycloheximide, a translation elongation inhibitor known to augment intracellular amino acid levels, prevented the effect of bafilomycin on amino acids levels and completely reversed its inhibition of EGF-induced mTORC1 activation. In vivo administration of EGF stimulated the recruitment of Ras homologue enriched in brain (Rheb) but not mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) to endosomes and lysosomes. This was inhibited by chloroquine treatment. Our results suggest a role for vacuolar acidification in EGF signaling to mTORC1.

Abstract
The cyclin-dependant kinase Cdk2 is compartmentalized in endosomes but its role is poorly understood. Here we show that Cdk2 present in hepatic endosome fractions is strictly located in a Triton X-100-resistant environment. The endosomal Cdk2 was found to be associated with the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, a regulator of insulin clearance, and the actin anchor β-catenin, a known substrate for both Cdk2 and SHP-1. In the plasma membranes and endosome fractions, β-catenin is associated with CEACAM1, also known as regulator of insulin clearance. We show that β-catenin, not CEACAM1, is a substrate for Cdk2. Partial down-modulation of Cdk2 in HEK293 cells increased the rate of insulin internalization. These findings reveal that Cdk2 functions, at least in part, via a Cdk2/SHP-1/β-catenin/CEACAM1 axis, and show for the first time that Cdk2 has the capacity to regulate insulin internalization.

Abstract
Peptide hormones and growth factors initiate signalling by binding to and activating their cell surface receptors. The activated receptors interact with and modulate the activity of cell surface enzymes and adaptor proteins which entrain a series of reactions leading to metabolic and proliferative signals. Rapid internalization of ligand-receptor complexes into the endosomal system both prolongs and augments events initiated at the cell surface. In addition endocytosis brings activated receptors into contact with a wider range of substrates giving rise to unique signalling events critical for modulating proliferation and apoptosis. Within the endosomal system, receptor function is regulated by lowering vacuolar pH, augmenting ligand proteolysis and promoting receptor kinase dephosphorylation. Ubiquitination-deubiquitination plays a key role in regulating receptor traffic through the endosomal system resulting in either recycling to the cell surface or degradation in multivesicular-lysosomal elements. From a clinical perspective there are several studies showing that manipulating endosomal processes may constitute a new therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Analyzing the dynamics of insulin concentration in the blood is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the effects of insulin in vivo. Insulin removal from the blood has been addressed in many studies. The results are highly variable with respect to insulin clearance and the relative contributions of hepatic and renal insulin degradation. RESULTS We present a dynamic mathematical model of insulin concentration in the blood and of insulin receptor activation in hepatocytes. The model describes renal and hepatic insulin degradation, pancreatic insulin secretion and nonspecific insulin binding in the liver. Hepatic insulin receptor activation by insulin binding, receptor internalization and autophosphorylation is explicitly included in the model. We present a detailed mathematical analysis of insulin degradation and insulin clearance. Stationary model analysis shows that degradation rates, relative contributions of the different tissues to total insulin degradation and insulin clearance highly depend on the insulin concentration. CONCLUSION This study provides a detailed dynamic model of insulin concentration in the blood and of insulin receptor activation in hepatocytes. Experimental data sets from literature are used for the model validation. We show that essential dynamic and stationary characteristics of insulin degradation are nonlinear and depend on the actual insulin concentration.

Abstract
Background Combinatorial complexity is a challenging problem in detailed and mechanistic mathematical modeling of signal transduction. This subject has been discussed intensively and a lot of progress has been made within the last few years. A software tool (BioNetGen) was developed which allows an automatic rule-based set-up of mechanistic model equations. In many cases these models can be reduced by an exact domain-oriented lumping technique. However, the resulting models can still consist of a very large number of differential equations. Results We introduce a new reduction technique, which allows building modularized and highly reduced models. Compared to existing approaches further reduction of signal transduction networks is possible. The method also provides a new modularization criterion, which allows to dissect the model into smaller modules that are called layers and can be modeled independently. Hallmarks of the approach are conservation relations within each layer and connection of layers by signal flows instead of mass flows. The reduced model can be formulated directly without previous generation of detailed model equations. It can be understood and interpreted intuitively, as model variables are macroscopic quantities that are converted by rates following simple kinetics. The proposed technique is applicable without using complex mathematical tools and even without detailed knowledge of the mathematical background. However, we provide a detailed mathematical analysis to show performance and limitations of the method. For physiologically relevant parameter domains the transient as well as the stationary errors caused by the reduction are negligible. Conclusion The new layer based reduced modeling method allows building modularized and strongly reduced models of signal transduction networks. Reduced model equations can be directly formulated and are intuitively interpretable. Additionally, the method provides very good approximations especially for macroscopic variables. It can be combined with existing reduction methods without any difficulties.

Abstract
Insulin binds to the alpha subunit of the insulin receptor (IR) on the cell surface. The insulin-IR complex is subsequently internalized and trafficked within the cell. Endocytosed receptors, devoid of insulin, recycle back to the plasma membrane through the endocytic recycling compartment (ERC). Using a high content screening system, we investigate the intracellular trafficking of the IR and its phosphorylation state, within the ERC, in response to protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) inhibition. Insulin stimulates, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, the accumulation of phosphorylated IR (pY(1158,1162,1163 IR) in the ERC of CHO-IR cells. Treatment of CHO-IR cells with PTP1B-specific inhibitors or siRNA leads to dose-dependent increases in IR residency and phosphorylation within the ERC. The results also demonstrate that PTP1B redistributes within CHO-IR cells upon insulin challenge. The established system will allow for efficient screening of candidate inhibitors for the modulation of PTP1B activity.

Abstract
Evidence indicates that endosomal insulin receptor (IR) trafficking plays a role in regulating insulin signal transduction. To evaluate its importance, we developed a series of biokinetic models for quantifying activated surface and endosomal IR dynamics from published experimental data. Starting with a published two-compartment Fao hepatoma model, a four-pool model was formulated that depicts IR autophosphorylation after receptor binding, IR endosomal internalization/trafficking, insulin dissociation from and dephosphorylation of internalized IR, and recycling of unliganded, dephosphorylated IR to the plasma membrane. Quantification required three additional data sets, two measured, but unmodeled by the same group. A five-pool model created to include endosomal trafficking of the nonphosphorylated insulin-IR complex was fitted using the same data sets, augmented with another published data set. Creation of a six-pool model added the physiologically relevant dissociation of insulin ligand from the activated endosomal IR. More importantly, all three models, validated against additional data not used in model fitting, predict that, mechanistically, internalization of activated IR is a rate-limiting step, at least under the receptor saturating conditions of the fitting data. This rate includes the transit time to a site where insulin dissociation from and/or dephosphorylation of the IR occurs by docking with protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases), or where a sufficient conformational change occurs in the IR, perhaps due to insulin-IR dissociation, where associated PTPases may complete IR dephosphorylation. Our new models indicate that key events in endosomal IR trafficking have significance in mediating IR activity, possibly serving to regulate insulin signal transduction.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV, CD26, EC 3.4.14.5) serves as a model aimed at elucidating protein sorting signals. We identify here, by MS, several tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in a rat liver Golgi/endosome (G/E) fraction including DPP IV. We show that a pool of DPP IV is tyrosine-phosphorylated. Maximal phosphorylation was observed after 2 min following intravenous insulin injection. DPP IV coimmunoprecipitated with the cellular tyrosine kinase Src (c-Src) with maximal association also observed after 2 min following insulin injection. DPP IV was found phosphorylated after incubation of nonsolubilized G/E membranes with [gamma-32P]ATP. The c-Src inhibitor PP2 inhibited DPP IV phosphorylation. Oriented proteolysis experiments indicate that a large pool of c-Src is protected in G/E fractions. Following injection of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor bpV(phen), DPP IV levels markedly decreased by 40% both in plasma membrane and G/E fractions. In the fraction designated Lh, DPP IV levels decreased by 50% 15 min following insulin injection. Therefore, a pool of DPP IV is tyrosine-phosphorylated in an insulin-dependent manner. The results suggest the presence of a yet to be characterized signalling mechanism whereby DPP IV has access to c-Src-containing signalling platforms.

Abstract
In previous work, we showed that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation causes mucin expression in airway epithelium in vivo and in human NCI-H292 airway epithelial cells and normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells in vitro. Here we show that the cell surface adhesion molecule, E-cadherin, promotes EGFR-mediated mucin production in NCI-H292 cells in a cell density- and cell cycle-dependent fashion. The addition of the EGFR ligand, transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha, increased MUC5AC protein expression markedly in dense, but not in sparse, cultures. MUC5AC-positive cells in dense cultures contained 2 N DNA content and did not incorporate bromodeoxyuridine, suggesting that they develop via cell differentiation and that a surface molecule involved in cell-cell contact is important for EGFR-mediated mucin production. In support of this hypothesis, in dense cultures of NCI-H292 cells and in NHBE cells at air-liquid interface, blockade of E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell contacts decreased EGFR-dependent mucin production. E-cadherin blockade also increased EGFR-dependent cell proliferation and TGF-alpha-induced EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation in dense cultures of NCI-H292 cells, suggesting that E-cadherin promotes EGFR-dependent mucin production and inhibits EGFR-dependent cell proliferation via modulation of EGFR phosphotyrosine levels. Furthermore, in dense cultures, E-cadherin blockade decreased the rate of EGFR tyrosine dephosphorylation, implicating an E-cadherin-dependent protein tyrosine phosphatase in EGFR dephosphorylation. Thus E-cadherin promotes EGFR-mediated cell differentiation and MUC5AC production, and our results suggest that this occurs via a pathway involving protein tyrosine phosphatase-dependent EGFR dephosphorylation.

Abstract
Earlier we have shown that the epidermal growth factor receptor was unable to retain its phospho Tyr signal after the assembly of staphylococcal alpha-hemolysin (alpha-HL). However, the nature of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) or its identity is not known. In this report, we demonstrate that the alpha-HL elevates the activity of receptor like protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (rPTPsigma). The alpha-HL induced dephosphorylation is prominent only in intact A431 cells. The PTPase activity is not inhibited if the alpha-HL treatment precedes PTPase inhibitor treatments. The anti-EGFr immunoprecipitates have exhibited higher PTPase activity after alpha-HL treatment of A431 cells. Interestingly, PTPase activity of anti-EGFr immunoprecipitates from the A431 cells expressing the antisense message of rPTPsigma has not increased despite alpha-HL treatment, confirming the role of rPTPsigma in the dephosphorylation of EGFr. The studies presented here will be useful in understanding the process of signal modulation by the assembly of alpha-HL.

Abstract
Metformin is a commonly used anti-diabetic but whether its mechanism involves action on the insulin receptor or on downstream events is still controversial. With a time course that was slow compared with insulin action, metformin increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the regulatory domain of the insulin receptor (specifically, tyrosine residues 1150 and 1151). In a direct action, therapeutic levels of metformin stimulated the tyrosine kinase activity of the soluble intracellular portion of the beta subunit of the human insulin receptor toward a substrate derived from the insulin receptor regulatory domain. However, metformin did not alter the order of substrate phosphorylation by the insulin receptor kinase. Using a Xenopus oocyte preparation, we simultaneously recorded tyrosine kinase and phosphatase activities that regulate the insulin receptor by measuring the tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of peptides derived from the regulatory domain of the human insulin receptor. In an indirect stimulation of the insulin receptor, metformin inhibited endogenous tyrosine phosphatases and purified human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B that dephosphorylate and inhibit the insulin receptor kinase. Thus, there was evidence that metformin acted directly upon the insulin receptor and indirectly through inhibition of tyrosine phosphatases.

Abstract
Signal transduction through receptor tyrosine kinases is believed to occur mainly at the plasma membrane. Ligands bind to their cognate receptors and trigger autophosphorylation events, which are detected by intracellular signalling molecules. However, ligands, such as epidermal growth factor and insulin, induce the rapid internalization of their receptors into endosomes. Although this event is traditionally thought to attenuate the ligand-induced response, in this article the authors discuss an alternative scenario in which selective and regulated signal transduction from receptor tyrosine kinases occurs within the endosome.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling. It is thought to carry out this role by interacting with and dephosphorylating the activated insulin receptor (IR). However, little is known regarding the nature of the cellular interaction between these proteins, especially because the IR is localized to the plasma membrane and PTP-1B to the endoplasmic reticulum. Using confocal microscopy and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), the interaction between PTP-1B and the IR was examined in co-transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Biological activities were not significantly affected for either PTP-1B or the IR with the fusion of W1B-green fluorescent protein (GFP) to the N terminus of PTP-1B (W1B-PTP-1B) or the fusion of Topaz-GFP to the C terminus of the IR (Topaz-IR). FRET between W1B and Topaz was monitored in cells transfected with either wild type PTP-1B (W1B-PTP-1B) or the substrate-trapping form PTP-1B(D181A) (W1B-PTP-1B(D181A)) and Topaz-IR. Co-expression of W1B-PTP-1B with Topaz-IR resulted in distribution of Topaz-IR to the plasma membrane, but no FRET was obtained upon insulin treatment. In contrast, co-expression of W1B-PTP-1B(D181A) with Topaz-IR caused an increase in cytosolic Topaz-IR fluorescence and, in some cells, a significant basal FRET signal, suggesting that PTP-1B is interacting with the IR during its synthesis. Stimulation of these cells with insulin resulted in a rapid induction of FRET that increased over time and was localized to a perinuclear spot. Co-expression of Topaz-IR with a GFP-labeled RhoB endosomal marker and treatment of the cells with insulin identified a perinuclear endosome compartment as the site of localization. Furthermore, the insulin-induced FRET could be prevented by the treatment of the cells with a specific PTP-1B inhibitor. These results suggest that PTP-1B appears not only to interact with and dephosphorylate the insulin-stimulated IR in a perinuclear endosome compartment but is also involved in maintaining the IR in a dephosphorylated state during its biosynthesis.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the endosomal apparatus plays an important role in insulin signaling. Inhibition of endosomal acidification leads to a decrease in insulin-insulin receptor kinase (IRK) dissociation and insulin degradation. Thus, vacuolar pH could function as a modulator of insulin signaling in endosomes. In the present study we show that in primary hepatocytes pretreated with bafilomycin, there is an inhibition of vacuolar acidification. Incubation of these cells with insulin was followed by an augmentation of IRK activity but an inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt activity and a decrease in insulin-induced DNA and glycogen synthesis. Bafilomycin treatment inhibited IRK recycling to the plasma membrane without affecting IRK internalization. Impaired IRK recycling correlated with a decrease in insulin signaling. We suggest that inhibiting vacuolar acidification sequesters activated IRKs in an intracellular compartment(s) where signaling is inhibited. This implies that endosomal receptor trafficking plays a role in regulating signal transduction.

Abstract
In this study we have explored whether the bifunctional protein semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO)/vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) represents a novel target for type 2 diabetes. To this end, Goto-Kakizaki (GK) diabetic rats were treated with the SSAO substrate benzylamine and with low ineffective doses of vanadate previously shown to have antidiabetic effects in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The administration of benzylamine in combination with vanadate in type 2 diabetic rats acutely stimulated glucose tolerance, and the chronic treatment normalized hyperglycemia, stimulated glucose transport in adipocytes, and reversed muscle insulin resistance. Acute in vivo administration of benzylamine and vanadate stimulated skeletal muscle glucose transport, an effect that was also observed in incubated muscle preparations coincubated with adipose tissue explants or with human recombinant SSAO. Acute administration of benzylamine/vanadate also ameliorated insulin secretion in diabetic GK rats, and this effect was also observed in incubated pancreatic islets. In keeping with these observations, we also demonstrate that pancreatic islets express SSAO/VAP-1. As far as mechanisms of action, we have found that benzylamine/vanadate causes enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins and reduced protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in adipocytes. In addition, incubation of human recombinant SSAO, benzylamine, and vanadate generates peroxovanadium compounds in vitro. Based on these data, we propose that benzylamine/vanadate administration generates peroxovanadium locally in pancreatic islets, which stimulates insulin secretion and also produces peroxovanadium in adipose tissue, activating glucose metabolism in adipocytes and in neighboring muscle. This opens the possibility of using the SSAO/VAP-1 activity as a local generator of protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors in antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract
We develop a mathematical model that explicitly represents many of the known signaling components mediating translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 to gain insight into the complexities of metabolic insulin signaling pathways. A novel mechanistic model of postreceptor events including phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1, activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and subsequent activation of downstream kinases Akt and protein kinase C-zeta is coupled with previously validated subsystem models of insulin receptor binding, receptor recycling, and GLUT4 translocation. A system of differential equations is defined by the structure of the model. Rate constants and model parameters are constrained by published experimental data. Model simulations of insulin dose-response experiments agree with published experimental data and also generate expected qualitative behaviors such as sequential signal amplification and increased sensitivity of downstream components. We examined the consequences of incorporating feedback pathways as well as representing pathological conditions, such as increased levels of protein tyrosine phosphatases, to illustrate the utility of our model for exploring molecular mechanisms. We conclude that mathematical modeling of signal transduction pathways is a useful approach for gaining insight into the complexities of metabolic insulin signaling.

Abstract
Binding of hormones, growth factors and other cell modulators to cell-surface receptors triggers a complex array of signal-transduction events. The activation of many receptors also accelerates their endocytosis. Endocytic transport is important in regulating signal transduction and in mediating the formation of specialized signalling complexes. Conversely, signal-transduction events modulate specific components of the endocytic machinery. Recent studies of protein tyrosine kinases and G-protein-coupled receptors have shed new light on the mechanisms and functional consequences of this bidirectional interplay between signalling and membrane-transport networks.

Abstract
Insulin is the principal regulatory hormone involved in the tight regulation of fuel metabolism. In response to blood glucose levels, it is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas and exerts its effects by binding to cell surface receptors that are present on virtually all cell types and tissues. In humans, perturbations in insulin function and/or secretion lead to diabetes mellitus, a severe disorder primarily characterized by an inability to maintain blood glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, it is estimated that 90-95% of diabetic patients exhibit resistance to insulin action. Thus an understanding of insulin signal transduction and insulin resistance at the molecular level is crucial to the understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease. The insulin receptor (IR) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that becomes activated upon ligand binding. Consequently, the receptor and its downstream substrates become tyrosine phosphorylated. This activates a series of intracellular signaling cascades which coordinately initiate the appropriate biological response. One important mechanism by which insulin signaling is regulated involves the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), which may either act on the IR itself and/or its substrates. Two well characterized examples include leuckocyte antigen related (LAR) and protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B). The present review will discuss the current knowledge of these two and other potential PTPs involved in the insulin signaling pathway.

Abstract
AIM Protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B) is an intracellular PTP known to dephosphorylate and inactivate upstream tyrosine phosphoproteins in the insulin signalling cascade. We and others reported increased abundance of catalytically impaired PTP-1B in tissue lysates from obese human subjects with and without type 2 diabetes, while genetic knockout of PTP-1B improves insulin sensitivity and prevents nutritionally mediated insulin resistance and obesity. The aim of the present work was to further elucidate the role of PTP-1B in glucose metabolism in vivo. METHODS We used adenoviral constructs incorporating cDNAs for either wild-type (W/T) or a catalytically inactive C(215)S (C/S) mutant PTP-1B to achieve liver-selective PTP-1B overexpression in young Sprague-Dawley rats using tail vein injection, based on the high degree of hepatotropism of adenovirus 5 (Ad5). An Ad5-lacZ construct encoding beta-galactosidase was used as a control for viral effects alone. A hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp was used to study whole body glucose disposal and endogenous glucose production rates. RESULTS Control studies in HIRcB cells confirmed catalytic activity and inactivity of W/T and C/S respectively. Mean PTP-1B abundance was 2.24 +/- 0.02- and 2.33 +/- 0.04-fold of saline-treated control in liver lysates of W/T and C/S rats respectively. Liver selective overexpression was confirmed by analysis of tissue lysates from liver, fat and muscle tissues. Ad5 treatment did not result in a statistically or clinically significant liver injury, as determined by serum alanine aminotransferase and histological examination. Seven days post injection, no significant difference in rate of weight gain, fasting blood glucose or insulin levels were seen in any group. Similarly, under steady-state glucose clamp conditions, glucose disposal rate (R(d)), endogenous glucose production rate (EGP) and serum insulin levels were similar in all groups. CONCLUSION We conclude that moderate medium-term overabundance, to a degree resembling that seen in insulin-resistant states, of PTP-1B in liver tissue does not alter insulin action on glucose metabolism and that the major site of action of PTP-1B is presumably at insulin-responsive target tissue or tissues other than the liver.

Abstract
Tubular reabsorption of filtered sodium is quantitatively the main contribution of kidneys to salt and water homeostasis. The transcellular reabsorption of sodium proceeds by a two-step mechanism: Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-energized basolateral active extrusion of sodium permits passive apical entry through various sodium transport systems. In the past 15 years, most of the renal sodium transport systems (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, channels, cotransporters, and exchangers) have been characterized at a molecular level. Coupled to the methods developed during the 1965-1985 decades to circumvent kidney heterogeneity and analyze sodium transport at the level of single nephron segments, cloning of the transporters allowed us to move our understanding of hormone regulation of sodium transport from a cellular to a molecular level. The main purpose of this review is to analyze how molecular events at the transporter level account for the physiological changes in tubular handling of sodium promoted by hormones. In recent years, it also became obvious that intracellular signaling pathways interacted with each other, leading to synergisms or antagonisms. A second aim of this review is therefore to analyze the integrated network of signaling pathways underlying hormone action. Given the central role of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in sodium reabsorption, the first part of this review focuses on its structural and functional properties, with a special mention of the specificity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase expressed in renal tubule. In a second part, the general mechanisms of hormone signaling are briefly introduced before a more detailed discussion of the nephron segment-specific expression of hormone receptors and signaling pathways. The three following parts integrate the molecular and physiological aspects of the hormonal regulation of sodium transport processes in three nephron segments: the proximal tubule, the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, and the collecting duct.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) is a major protein-tyrosine phosphatase that has been implicated in the regulation of insulin action, as well as in other signal transduction pathways. To investigate the role of PTP-1B in vivo, we generated homozygotic PTP-1B-null mice by targeted gene disruption. PTP-1B-deficient mice have remarkably low adiposity and are protected from diet-induced obesity. Decreased adiposity is due to a marked reduction in fat cell mass without a decrease in adipocyte number. Leanness in PTP-1B-deficient mice is accompanied by increased basal metabolic rate and total energy expenditure, without marked alteration of uncoupling protein mRNA expression. In addition, insulin-stimulated whole-body glucose disposal is enhanced significantly in PTP-1B-deficient animals, as shown by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies. Remarkably, increased insulin sensitivity in PTP-1B-deficient mice is tissue specific, as insulin-stimulated glucose uptake is elevated in skeletal muscle, whereas adipose tissue is unaffected. Our results identify PTP-1B as a major regulator of energy balance, insulin sensitivity, and body fat stores in vivo.

Abstract
Rat liver parenchyma Golgi/endosomes fractions harbor a tyrosine-phosphorylated 34-kDa protein. Screening of Golgi, endosomes (ENs), plasmalemma (PM), and cytosolic (Cyt) fractions revealed the presence of the mitotic kinase Cdk2 in ENs, PM, and Cyt. The fluid phase endocytic marker horseradish peroxidase gained access to the endosomal Cdk2, confirming its localization. Cdk2 was shown to be associated to cyclin E and was active in ENs and PM fractions. The administration of a single dose of insulin (1.5 microgram/100 g, body weight) induced a time-dependent activation of the insulin receptor kinase in these structures. Insulin receptor-kinase activation was followed by the inhibition of immunoprecipitated Cdk2-cyclin E kinase activity in PM and the progressive disappearance of cyclin E. In marked contrast, no such effect was observed in ENs. The injection of a phosphotyrosyl phosphatase inhibitor (bpV(phen)) increased the levels of cyclin E in ENs and PM. A massive recruitment of p27(kip1) was observed in the Cdk2-cyclin E complexes isolated from PM and Cyt but not from ENs. In vitro, Cdk2-cyclin E complexes have the capacity to inhibit the formation of hybrid structures containing horseradish peroxidase and radioiodinated epidermal growth factor. Therefore, in the PM and ENs of adult rat liver, an active and regulated pool of the mitotic kinase Cdk2-cyclin E and some yet to be defined effectors are present. Cdk2 may contribute to the modulation of transport events and/or maintenance of the topology of endocytic elements.

Abstract
Mechanisms that terminate signals from activated receptors have potential to influence the magnitude and nature of cellular responses to insulin. The aims of this study were to determine in rat liver endosomes (the subcellular site of insulin signal termination) whether dissociation of insulin from its receptor was a pre-requisite for ligand degradation and whether the state of receptor phosphorylation influenced the dissociation and hence endosomal degradation of insulin and/or receptor recycling. Following in vivo administration of 125I-[A14]-insulin or analogues (native, X10 or H2, relative binding affinities 1:7:67) livers were removed and endosomes prepared. In the endosomal preparations a significantly greater percentage of both analogues were receptor-bound than native insulin with concomitantly less ligand degradation. When rats were injected with protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors (peroxovanadium compounds bpV(phen) or bpV(pic)) before insulin, endosomal insulin receptor phosphotyrosine content, assessed by Western blotting, was increased as was receptor-bound 125I-[A14]-insulin, whilst insulin degradation was decreased. Peroxovanadiums also completely inhibited recycling of insulin receptors from endosomes. However, treatment of freshly isolated endosomes with acid phosphatase which completely dephosphorylated the insulin receptor, did not return the rate of insulin dissociation and degradation to control values, suggesting that peroxovanadium compounds elicit their effect on binding and degradation via a mechanism other than as protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. We conclude that promotion of sustained receptor binding decreases endosomal insulin degradation and extends the half-life of the activated endosomal receptor, which in turn would be expected to potentiate insulin signalling from this intracellular compartment.

Abstract
The SH2 domain protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 has been shown earlier to bind to the epidermal growth factor receptor and to have the capacity for receptor dephosphorylation. New bi- and tricistronic expression vectors (pNRTIS-21 and pNRTIS-33, respectively) based on the tetracycline system were constructed and employed to generate stable cell lines with inducible expression of SHP-1. Inducible overexpression of SHP-1 in A431 cells led to attenuation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor autophosphorylation and of EGF-induced DNA binding of 'signal transducers and activators of transcription' (STAT) 1 and 3. SHP-1 was localized in the cytoplasm with an enrichment in the perinuclear compartment. Association of SHP-1 with perinuclear structures may form the basis for a partial cofractionation with nuclei observed in different types of transfected cells and also with endogenous SHP-1 in U-937 cells. Treatment of SHP-1-overexpressing A431 cells or of HaCaT human keratinocytes expressing SHP-1 endogenously with the Ca2+-ionophore A23187 resulted in partial nuclear accumulation of SHP-1. Thus, SHP-1 may interact with substrates or regulatory proteins in perinuclear or nuclear structures.

Abstract
It has been suggested that proteins of molecular size 56-58 kDa play an important role in bovine ovarian follicular development and oocyte maturation. A polyclonal antibody was raised against a 56- to 58-kDa protein band purified from bovine granulosa cells and was used to screen granulosa or luteal cell cDNA expression libraries. This work resulted in the identification of a cDNA encoding for a protein of 60.1 kDa with a signal peptide of 13 residues. The bovine 60.1-kDa protein shared an overall 86.7% and 81.8% identity with, respectively, the human 80K-H protein and the mouse putative beta subunit of glucosidase II (beta-GII), and was named vacuolar system-associated protein-60 (VASAP-60). Marked differences in sequence identity were noted in a putative molecular adapter domain containing a tandem D and E amino acid stretch flanked by proline-rich sequences presenting the minimal PXXP SH3 motif. VASAP-60 was shown to be unglycosylated using endoglycosidase H treatment and was found mainly in a cellular membrane fraction of bovine corpus luteum. VASAP-60 was localized in a rat hepatic Golgi/endosome fraction and in wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) affinity chromatographic eluates, thereby suggesting the presence of interactions with membrane glycoproteins. A polyclonal antibody was raised against the putative adapter domain of the recombinant VASAP-60; this was shown to recognize a major 88-kDa and two minor 58-kDa and 50-kDa proteins, suggesting that the major 88-kDa protein band represents the complete VASAP-60 protein whereas the 58-kDa and the 50-kDa bands represent its proteolytic fragments. Northern blot analysis demonstrated the presence of a single 2.3-kilobase transcript in all the bovine tissues analyzed with variation in the steady state level between tissues. Immunohistochemical observations showed that VASAP-60 was widely distributed in bovine tissues and was localized in pericytoplasmic and perinuclear membranes. In epithelial cells, the staining presented a basolateral or apical polarity associated with intracellular vacuoles. In conclusion, we have characterized a novel acidic membrane protein, associated with organelles of the vacuolar system, that is widely and histospecifically expressed in bovine tissues. VASAP-60 represents either the bovine ortholog or a new family member of the previously characterized human 80K-H and murine beta-GII proteins. Our results suggest that VASAP-60 presents characteristics of a molecular adaptor protein with functions in membrane-trafficking events.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of the functional, endogenous cyclic AMP antagonist, prostaglandylinositol cyclic phosphate (cyclic PIP) is performed by the plasma membrane-bound enzyme cyclic PIP synthase, which combines prostaglandin E (PGE) and activated inositol phosphate (n-IP) to cyclic PIP. The Km values of the enzyme for the substrates PGE and n-IP are in the micromolar range. The plasma membrane-bound synthase is activated by fluoride, by the stable GTP analog GMP-PNP, by protamine or biguanide, by noradrenaline, and by insulin. The activation by protamine or biguanide and fluoride (10 mM) is additive, which may indicate the presence of two different types of enzyme, comparable to phospholipase Cbeta and phospholipase Cgamma. Plasma membrane-bound cyclic PIP synthase is inhibited by the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor tyrphostin B46 with an IC50 of 1.7 microM. However, the solubilized and gel-filtrated enzyme is no longer inhibited by tyrphostin, indicating that the activity of cyclic PIP synthase is connected with the activity of a membrane-bound protein tyrosine kinase. Cyclic PIP synthase activity of freshly prepared plasma membranes is unstable. Upon freezing and rethawing of liver plasma membranes, this instability is increased about 2-fold. Protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors [vanadate, fluoride (50-100 mM)] stabilize the enzyme activity, but protease inhibitors do not, indicating that inactivation of the enzyme is connected with protein tyrosine dephosphorylation. Cyclic PIP synthase is present in all tissues tested, like brain, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, skeletal muscle, spleen, and testis. Apart from liver, cyclic PIP synthase activity in most tissues is rather low, but it can be increased up to 5-fold when protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors like vanadate are present in the homogenization buffer. Preincubation of cyclic PIP synthase of liver plasma membranes with the tyrosine kinase src kinase causes a 2-fold increase of cyclic PIP synthase activity, though this is certainly not the physiological role played by src kinase in intact cells. The data indicate that cyclic PIP synthase can be activated by two separate mechanisms: by a G protein or by protein tyrosine phosphorylation.

Abstract
We have studied the endosome-lysosome transfer of internalized epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) complexes in a cell-free system from rat liver. Analytical subfractionation of a postmitochondrial supernatant fraction showed that a pulse of internalized [(125)I]EGF was largely associated with a light endosomal fraction devoid of lysosomal markers. After an additional 30 min incubation in vitro in the presence of an ATP-regenerating system, the amount of [(125)I]EGF in this compartment decreased by 39%, with an increase in [(125)I]EGF in lysosomes. No transfer of [(125)I]EGF to the cytosol was detected. To assess the fate of the internalized EGFR protein over the time course of the endo-lysosomal transfer of the ligand, the effect of a saturating dose of native EGF on subsequent lysosomal targeting of the EGFR was evaluated by immunoblotting. A massive translocation of the EGFR to the endosomal compartment was observed in response to ligand injection coincident with its tyrosine phosphorylation and receptor recruitment of the tyrosine-phosphorylated adaptor protein Shc. During cell-free endosome-lysosome fusion, a time-dependent increase in the content of the EGFR and the two 55- and 46-kDa Shc isoforms was observed in lysosomal fractions with a time course superimposable with the lysosomal transfer of the ligand; no transfer of the 66-kDa Shc isoform was detected. The relationship between EGFR tyrosine kinase activity and EGFR sorting in endosomes investigated by immunoblot studies with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies revealed that endosomal dephosphorylation of EGFR and Shc preceded lysosomal transfer. These results support the view that a lysosomal targeting machinery distinct from the endosomal receptor kinase activity, such as the recruitment of the signaling molecule Shc, may regulate this sorting event in the endosome.

Abstract
Attenuation of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling by the ganglioside G(M3) has previously been found to involve activation of an unknown protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP). In transient expression experiments we tested different PTPs for activation towards EGF receptor by G(M3). The transmembrane PTP RPTPsigma but not RPTPalpha or the SH2-domain PTP SHP-1 exhibited elevated activity towards EGF receptor in G(M3)-treated cells. The possible relevance of RPTPsigma for regulation of EGF receptor signaling activity was further explored in stable A431 cells lines inducibly expressing RPTPsigma or RPTPsigma antisense RNA. RPTPsigma expression clearly reduced EGF receptor phosphorylation. Also, soft agar colony formation of respective cell lines was reduced upon RPTPsigma expression whereas RPTPsigma antisense RNA expression augmented both, EGF receptor phosphorylation and soft agar colony formation. In addition, RPTPsigma antisense RNA expression rendered A431 cells resistant to inhibition of EGF receptor phosphorylation by G(M3). We propose that RPTPsigma participates in EGF receptor dephosphorylation in A431 cells, becomes activated by G(M3) via an unknown mechanism and is thereby capable to mediate attenuation of EGF receptor phosphorylation by G(M3).

Abstract
3S-peptide-I, a tris-sulfotyrosyl dodecapeptide that corresponds to the major autophosphorylation domain within the insulin receptor beta-subunit, selectively enhances insulin signal transduction by specifically inhibiting dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor catalyzed by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). Because of the potential role of the transmembrane PTPase LAR in the regulation of insulin signaling, we assessed the effect of 3S-peptide-I on recombinant LAR PTPase activity and in McA-RH7777 rat hepatoma cells overexpressing full-length LAR protein (McA4B/LAR). 3S-peptide-I significantly reduced insulin receptor dephosphorylation by recombinant LAR (p < 0.001) while blocking dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor by approximately 72% in semi-permeabilized McA4B/LAR cells (p < 0.001). Increased LAR expression resulted in 40% reduction in ligand-mediated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor compared with null vector control (p < 0.001). However, treatment of intact McA4B/LAR cells with a fatty acid derivative of 3S-peptide-I (50 microM) led to an enhancement of insulin-stimulated receptor phosphorylation by 89% (p < 0.001). As a result, control and McA4B/LAR cells showed comparable steady-state levels of insulin receptor phosphorylation in the presence of insulin. These findings provide evidence that 3S-peptide-I may improve insulin responsiveness in intact cells by inhibiting LAR, an enzyme whose activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.

Abstract
The protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 binds to and dephosphorylates the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and both SH2 domains of SHP-1 are important for this interaction (Tenev, T., Keilhack, H., Tomic, S., Stoyanov, B., Stein-Gerlach, M., Lammers, R., Krivtsov, A. V., Ullrich, A., and Böhmer, F. D. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 5966-5973). We mapped the EGFR phosphotyrosine 1173 as the major binding site for SHP-1 by a combination of phosphopeptide activation, phosphopeptide competition, and receptor YF mutant analysis. Mutational conversion of the EGFR sequence 1171-1176 AEYLRV into the high affinity SHP-1 binding sequence LEYLYL of the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) led to a highly elevated SHP-1 binding to the mutant EGFR (EGFR1171-1176EpoR) and in turn to an enhanced dephosphorylation of the receptor. SHP-1 expression interfered with EGF-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase stimulation, and this effect was more pronounced in case of EGFR1171-1176EpoR. Reduced SHP-1 binding to the EGFR Y1173F mutant resulted in a reduced receptor dephosphorylation by coexpressed SHP-1 and less interference with EGF-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase stimulation. The effects of receptor mutations on SHP-1 binding were, however, stronger than those on receptor dephosphorylation by SHP-1. Therefore, receptor dephosphorylation may be the result of the combined activity of receptor-bound SHP-1 and SHP-1 bound to an auxiliary docking protein.

Abstract
Incubating endosomes with ATP decreased binding of 125I-insulin but not 125I-labeled human growth hormone. Increasing ATP concentrations from 0.1 to 1 mM increased beta-subunit tyrosine phosphorylation and insulin receptor kinase (IRK) activity assayed after partial purification. At higher (5 mM) ATP concentrations beta-subunit tyrosine phosphorylation and IRK activity were markedly decreased. This was not observed with nonhydrolyzable analogs of ATP, nor with plasma membrane IRK, nor with endosomal epidermal growth factor receptor kinase autophosphorylation. The inhibition of endosomal IRK tyrosine phosphorylation and activity was completely reversed by bafilomycin A1, indicating a role for endosomal proton pump(s). The inhibition of IRK was not due to serine/threonine phosphorylation nor was it influenced by the inhibition of phosphotyrosyl phosphatase using bisperoxo(1,10-phenanthroline)oxovanadate anion. Prior phosphorylation of the beta-subunit with 1 mM ATP did not prevent the inhibition of IRK activity on incubating with 5 mM ATP. To evaluate conformational change we incubated endosomes with dithiothreitol (DTT) followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions. Without DTT the predominant species of IRK observed was alpha2 beta2. With DTT the alpha beta dimer predominated but on co-incubation with 5 mM ATP the alpha2 beta2 form predominated. Thus, ATP-dependent endosomal acidification contributes to the termination of transmembrane signaling by, among other processes, effecting a deactivating conformational change of the IRK.

Abstract
The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to monitor the effects of genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on membrane currents recorded from isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Under control conditions, genistein (50 micromol/L) did not activate the latent cAMP-regulated Cl- current (ICl). However, in the presence of a subthreshold concentration (1 nmol/L) of the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol (Iso), genistein caused a near-maximal activation of this current. In the absence of genistein, Iso activated ICl with an EC50 of 5 nmol/L. In the presence of genistein, Iso activated ICl with an EC50 of 0.3 nmol/L. This facilitatory effect was not observed in the presence of daidzein (50 micromol/L), an analogue of genistein that only weakly inhibits tyrosine kinase activity. Furthermore, peroxovanadate, a potent inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity, inhibited ICl activated by Iso alone, and it blocked the stimulatory effect of genistein in the presence of Iso. To determine whether the stimulatory effect of genistein was specific for ICl, we also studied its action on the cAMP-regulated delayed rectifier K+ current (IK) and L-type Ca2+ current (ICa-L) present in these cells. Basal IK and ICa-L were partially (approximately 30% to 40%) inhibited by genistein. However, this inhibitory effect was mimicked by daidzein, suggesting that inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity is not involved. In addition to the nonspecific inhibitory effect, genistein also caused a significant increase in the beta-adrenergic sensitivity of the unblocked cationic currents. In the absence of genistein, 1 nmol/L Iso had no effect on either IK or ICa-L. However, in the presence of genistein, 1 nmol/L Iso significantly increased the magnitude of both currents. These results suggest that tyrosine kinase activity may play an important role in regulating beta-adrenergic responsiveness of the heart.

Abstract
The ErbB signaling module consists of four receptor tyrosine kinases and several dozen ligands that activate specific homo- and heterodimeric complexes of ErbB proteins. Combinatorial ligand/receptor/effector interactions allow large potential for signal diversification. Here we addressed the possibility that turn-off mechanisms enhance the diversification potential. Concentrating on ErbB-1 and two of its ligands, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha), and the Neu differentiation factor (NDF/neuregulin) and one of its receptors, ErbB-3, we show that ligand binding variably accelerates endocytosis of the respective ligand-receptor complex. However, unlike the EGF-activated ErbB-1, which is destined primarily to degradation in lysosomes, NDF and TGF-alpha direct their receptors to recycling, probably because these ligands dissociate from their receptors earlier along the endocytic pathway. In the case of NDF, structural, as well as biochemical, analyses imply that ligand degradation occurs at a relatively late endosomal stage. Attenuation of receptor down-regulation by this mechanism apparently confers to both NDF and TGF-alpha more potent and prolonged signaling activity. In conclusion, alternative endocytic trafficking of ligand-ErbB complexes may tune and diversify signal transduction by EGF family ligands.

Abstract
The ErbB signaling network consists of four transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases and more than a dozen ligands sharing an epidermal growth factor (EGF) motif. The multiplicity of ErbB-specific ligands is incompletely understood in terms of signal specificity because all ErbB molecules signal through partially overlapping pathways. Here we addressed the action of epiregulin, a recently isolated ligand of ErbB-1. By employing a set of factor-dependent cell lines engineered to express individual ErbBs or their combinations, we found that epiregulin is the broadest specificity EGF-like ligand so far characterized: not only does it stimulate homodimers of both ErbB-1 and ErbB-4, it also activates all possible heterodimeric ErbB complexes. Consistent with its relaxed selectivity, epiregulin binds the various receptor combinations with an affinity that is approximately 100-fold lower than the affinity of ligands with more stringent selectivity, including EGF. Nevertheless, epiregulin's action upon most receptor combinations transmits a more potent mitogenic signal than does EGF. This remarkable discrepancy between binding affinity and bioactivity is permitted by a mechanism that prevents receptor down-regulation, and results in a weak, but prolonged, state of receptor activation.

Abstract
We characterized a 54-kDa human protein kinase recognized by an antiserum raised against the human myotonin protein kinase. This protein kinase displays a serine/threonine kinase activity in the heart and a tyrosine kinase activity in the skeletal muscle. Both kinase activities were attributed to the same 54-kDa protein based on the identity of one-dimensional peptide maps. We showed that the tyrosine kinase activity observed in the skeletal muscle results from a phosphorylation of this protein kinase on tyrosine residues by a tyrosine kinase specifically expressed in this tissue. The tyrosine dephosphorylation of the skeletal muscle 54-kDa protein kinase allowed it to phosphorylate with the highest activity the same peptide substrates as those phosphorylated by the human recombinant myotonin kinase. These results show that a muscle-specific tyrosine phosphorylation event converts a serine/threonine kinase to a tyrosine kinase. They also suggest that the 54-kDa protein kinase is a member of the myotonin kinase family.
