Abstract
PIK3R1 (also known as p85α) is a regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks). PI3K, a heterodimer of a regulatory subunit and a catalytic subunit, phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol into secondary signaling molecules involved in regulating metabolic homeostasis. PI3K converts phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3), which recruits protein kinase AKT to the inner leaflet of the cell membrane to be activated and to participate in various metabolic functions. PIK3R1 stabilizes and inhibits p110 catalytic activity and serves as an adaptor to interact with insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins and growth factor receptors. Thus, mutations in PIK3R1 or altered expression of PIK3R1 could modulate the activity of PI3K and result in significant metabolic outcomes. Interestingly, recent studies also found PI3K-independent functions of PIK3R1. Overall, in this article, we will provide an updated review of the metabolic functions of PIK3R1 that includes studies of PIK3R1 in various metabolic tissues using animal models, the mechanisms modulating PIK3R1 activity, and studies on the mutations of human PIK3R1 gene.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Muscle may experience hypoglycaemia during ischaemia or insulin infusion. During severe hypoglycaemia energy production is blocked, and an increase of AMP:ATP activates the energy sensor and putative insulin-sensitiser AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK promotes energy conservation and survival by shutting down anabolism and activating catabolic pathways. We investigated the molecular mechanism of a unique glucose stress defence pathway involving AMPK-dependent, insulin-independent activation of the insulin signalling pathway. METHODS Cardiac or skeletal myocytes were subjected to glucose and insulin-free incubation for increasing intervals up to 20 h. AMPK, and components of the insulin signalling pathway and their targets were quantified by western blot using phosphor-specific antibodies. Phosphomimetics were used to determine the function of IRS-1 Ser789 phosphorylation and in vitro [³²P]ATP kinase assays were used to measure the phosphorylation of the purified insulin receptor by AMPK. RESULTS Glucose deprivation increased Akt-Thr308 and Akt-Ser473 phosphorylation by almost tenfold. Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta increased in parallel, but phosphorylation of ribosomal 70S subunit-S6 protein kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin decreased. AMPK inhibitors blocked and aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) mimicked the effects of glucose starvation. Glucose deprivation increased the phosphorylation of IRS-1 on serine-789, but phosphomimetics revealed that this conferred negative regulation. Glucose deprivation enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and the insulin receptor, effects that were blocked by AMPK inhibition and mimicked by AICAR. In vitro kinase assays using purified proteins confirmed that the insulin receptor is a direct target of AMPK. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION AMPK phosphorylates and activates the insulin receptor, providing a direct link between AMPK and the insulin signalling pathway; this pathway promotes energy conservation and survival of muscle exposed to severe glucose deprivation.

Abstract
During recent years, the bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) methodology has emerged as a powerful technique for the study of protein-protein interactions. This review focuses on recent work demonstrating the power of BRET for the study of tyrosine kinase receptors, using insulin and IGF-1 receptors as models. The authors show that BRET can be used to monitor ligand-induced conformational changes within homodimeric insulin and IGF-1 receptors, as well as heterodimeric insulin/IGF-1 hybrid receptors. BRET can also be used to study, in real time and in living cells, the interaction of tyrosine kinase receptors with cellular partners negatively or positively involved in the regulation of intracellular signalling (protein tyrosine phosphatases, molecular adaptors). In addition, BRET can be used to develop high-throughput screening assays for the search of molecules with therapeutic interest and could, therefore, constitute a valuable tool for laboratories involved in drug discovery.

Abstract
Insulin exerts its biological effects through a plasma membrane receptor that possesses a tyrosine-kinase activity. This tyrosine-kinase activity depends on the autophosphorylation of the receptor on tyrosine residues and on its dephosphorylation by protein tyrosine-phosphatases. The discovery of pharmacological agents that specifically stimulate the autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor or inhibit its dephosphorylation will be of great importance for the treatment of insulin resistant or insulin deficient patients. Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET) has developed in recent years as a new technique to study protein-protein interactions. In the BRET technique, one partner is fused to Renilla luciferase, whereas the other partner is fused to a fluorescent protein (e.g. YFP, Yellow Fluorescent Protein). The luciferase is excited by addition of its substrate, coelenterazine. If the two partners interact, resonance energy transfer occurs between the luciferase and the YFP, and a fluorescent signal, emitted by the YFP, can be detected. Our work indicates that this methodology could be an important tool for the search of molecules that activate insulin receptor autophosphorylation or that inhibit its dephosphorylation. Indeed, we first showed that the activation of the insulin receptor by different ligands can be monitored using a chimeric receptor with one B-subunit fused to Renilla luciferase and the other B-subunit fused to YFP. The conformational changes induced by different ligands could be detected as an energy transfer (BRET signal) between the luciferase and the YFP, that reflects the activation state of the receptor. This methodology allows for rapid analysis of the effects of agonists on insulin receptor activity and may therefore be used in high-throughput screening for the discovery of molecules with insulin-like properties. More recently, we demonstrated that the BRET methodology could also be used to monitor the interaction of the insulin receptor with protein tyrosine-phosphatase 1B, one of the main tyrosine-phosphatase that controls its activity. HEK cells were co-transfected with the insulin receptor fused to Renilla luciferase and a substrate-trapping mutant of PTP1B (PTP1B-D181A) fused to YFP. Insulin-induced BRET signal could be followed in real time for more than 30 min. Therefore, this methodology can also be used in high-throughput screening for the search of molecules that will specifically disrupt the interaction between the insulin receptor and PTP1B.

Abstract
The dynamics of the interaction of the insulin receptor with a substrate-trapping mutant of protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) were monitored in living human embryonic kidney cells using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). Insulin dose-dependently stimulates this interaction, which could be followed in real time for more than 30 minutes. The effect of insulin on the BRET signal could be detected at early time-points (30 seconds), suggesting that in intact cells the tyrosine-kinase activity of the insulin receptor is tightly controlled by PTP1B. Interestingly, the basal (insulin-independent) interaction of the insulin receptor with PTP1B was much weaker with a soluble form of the tyrosine-phosphatase than with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted form. Inhibition of insulin-receptor processing using tunicamycin suggests that the basal interaction occurs during insulin-receptor biosynthesis in the ER. Therefore, localization of PTP1B in this compartment might be important for the regulation of insulin receptors during their biosynthesis.

Abstract
The protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTPalpha has been proposed to play an important role in controlling the dephosphorylation of a number of key signaling proteins and in regulating insulin signaling. To examine the potential cellular functions and physiological substrates of PTPalpha, a potent phosphorothioate oligonucleotide-based antisense strategy was developed that specifically depleted endogenous PTPalpha from 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The antisense probe, alphaAS1, achieved PTPalpha depletion levels normally of >/=85% and which varied up to levels where PTPalpha was not detected at all. Elimination of PTPalpha by 85% inhibited c-Src activity by 80%. Abolishing PTPalpha to levels undetected did not alter the tyrosine dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor or insulin receptor substrate proteins. Moreover, the ability of insulin to activate ERK2 or to stimulate DNA synthesis was not altered by alphaAS1. It is concluded that endogenous PTPalpha is a key regulator of c-Src activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and that PTPalpha is not required for the dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor or the insulin receptor substrate proteins or for the regulation of several downstream insulin signaling events in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Finally, the development of the antisense probe, alphaAS1, provides an important molecular tool of general applicability for further dissecting the roles and precise targets of endogenous PTPalpha.

Abstract
We investigated the cellular mechanism(s) of insulin resistance associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) using adipocytes isolated from non-obese, insulin-resistant type II diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a well-known genetic rat model for type II diabetic humans. In adipocytes isolated from control rats, insulin (5 nmol/L) stimulated particulate serine/threonine protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) activity (56% increase over the basal value after 5 minutes). In contrast, adipocytes from diabetic GK rats exhibited a 32% decrease in basal (P < .05) and a 65% decrease in insulin-stimulated PP-1 activity compared with values in control Wistar rats. Conversely, cytosolic PP-2A activity was elevated in diabetic GK rats in the basal state (twofold increase v controls, P < .05). Insulin treatment resulted in a 50% to 60% inhibition in PP-2A activity in control rats, but failed to inhibit PP-2A activity in diabetic GK rat adipocytes. The defects in PP-1/PP-2A activation/inactivation were accompanied by inhibition of insulin's effect on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. In addition, insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR) substrate-1 (IRS-1) was decreased more than 90% compared with control values, while a twofold increase in basal IRS-1 phosphorylation status was observed in diabetic GK rats. The abnormalities in IRS-1 phosphorylation were accompanied by a severe impairment of insulin-mediated targeting of the Grb2/Sos complex to the plasma membrane. We conclude that (1) a rapid activation of PP-1 along with concomitant inhibition of cytosolic PP-2A may be important in the mechanism of insulin action in a normal cell, and (2) the resistance to insulin in terms of glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis observed in diabetic GK rats is partly due to defective regulation of PP-1, PP-2A, and MAPK caused by multiple defects in the upstream insulin signaling components (IRS-1/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase [PI3-kinase] and Grb2/Sos) that participate in insulin-mediated activation of PP-1 and inactivation of PP-2A.

Abstract
3S-peptide-I is a synthetic tris-sulfotyrosyl dodecapeptide corresponding to the major site of insulin receptor autophosphorylation that potently inhibits dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor in a cell-free system and in digitonin-permeabilized Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing the human insulin receptors (CHO/HIRc cells) (Liotta, A. S., Kole, H. K., Fales, H. M., Roth, J., and Bernier, M. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 22996-23001). In the present study, we found that 3S-peptide-I was not capable of inhibiting dephosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in digitonin-permeabilized CHO cells that overexpress human EGF receptors (CHO/EGF-R cells). Moreover, the addition of a N-stearyl derivative of 3S-peptide-I to intact CHO/HIRc cells caused a concentration-dependent increase in insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, with a maximum effect (approximately 2.7-fold) at 50 microM. In contrast, ligand-stimulated EGF receptor phosphorylation in CHO/EGF-R cells was not affected by the presence of stearyl 3S-peptide-I. Furthermore, treatment of CHO/HIRc cells with this N-stearyl peptide led to a significant enhancement of the insulin-induced association of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity with insulin receptor substrate 1 and the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase. However, stearyl 3S-peptide-I had no effect on the EGF-stimulated activation of PI-3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase in CHO/EGF-R cells. These data indicate that this tris-sulfotyrosyl dodecapeptide selectively enhances insulin signal transduction by specifically inhibiting dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor in intact cells.

Abstract
N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) catalyses the transfer of myristate from myristoyl-CoA to the NH2-terminal glycine residue of several proteins and are important in signal transduction. STZ-induced diabetes (an animal model for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM) resulted in a 2-fold increase in rat liver NMT activity as compared with control animals. In obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats (an animal model for non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) there was a approximately 4.7-fold lower liver particulate NMT activity as compared with the control lean rat livers. Administration of sodium orthovanadate to the diabetic rats normalised liver NMT activity. These results would indicate that the rat liver particulate N-myristoyltransferase activity appears to be inversely proportional to the level of plasma insulin, implicating insulin in the control of N-myristoylation.

Abstract
The insulin-mimetic action of vanadate is well established but the exact mechanism by which it exerts this effect is still not clearly understood. The role of insulin in the regulation of hepatic glycogen metabolizing and lipogenic enzymes is well known. In our study, we have, therefore, examined the effects of vanadate on these hepatic enzymes using four different models of diabetic and insulin-resistant animals. Vanadate normalized the blood glucose levels in all animal models. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, the amount of liver glycogen and the activities of the active-form of glycogen synthase, both active and inactive-forms of phosphorylase, and lipogenic enzymes like glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme were decreased and vanadate treatment normalized all of these to near normal levels. The other three animal models (db/db mouse, sucrose-fed rats and fa/fa obese Zucker rats) were characterized by hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, increases in activities of lipogenic enzymes, and marginal changes in glycogen metabolizing enzymes. Vanadate treatment brought all of these values towards normal levels. It should be noted that vanadate shows differential effects in the modulation of lipogenic enzymes activities in type I and type II diabetic animals. It increases the activities of lipogenic enzymes in streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals and prevents the evaluation of activities of these enzymes in hyperinsulinemic animals. The insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of insulin receptor beta subunit and its tyrosine kinase activity was increased in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after treatment with vanadate. Our results support the view that insulin receptor is one of the sites involved in the insulin-mimetic actions of vanadate.

Abstract
Insulin resistance in the ob/ob mouse model is associated with a reduction in insulin-induced protein-tyrosine phosphorylation in tissues such as liver. To ascertain whether this decrease in phosphorylation may be due to increased phosphatase activity, protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity was determined in particulate and soluble fractions from livers of 5- to 23-week-old ob/ob mice and age-matched lean littermates. PTPase activity was measured using a synthetic phosphopeptide, TRDIY(P)ETDY(P)Y(P)RK, as the substrate, corresponding to residues 1142 to 1153 of the insulin receptor and containing the major autophosphorylation sites of the regulatory domain. The ob/ob mice were hyperinsulinemic across all age groups, but only the youngest mice (aged 5 to 7 weeks) were hyperglycemic. Most PTPase activity was present in the liver particulate fraction and was 19% to 114% greater in ob/ob mice as compared with controls. PTPase activity in the liver soluble fraction was 26% less than control values in the youngest ob/ob mice (5 to 7 weeks), but increased with age and was 41% and 131% above control values at 21 to 23 and 25 to 27 weeks of age, respectively. Oral administration of the PTPase inhibitor sodium orthovanadate (0.6 mg/mL in drinking water for 2 weeks) to young ob/ob mice caused a significant reduction in the elevated particulate PTPase activity, with concomitant decreases in plasma insulin and plasma glucose. Assessment of PTPase activity with a monophosphate form of the same synthetic peptide, TRDIY(P)ETDYYRK, showed lower PTPase activities as compared with the triphosphate form and no significant differences between ob/ob and control preparations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Insulin is a polypeptide hormone consisting of 51 amino acids. Insulin promotes a variety of anabolic enzymatic pathways and inhibits many catabolic enzymatic pathways involved in energy storage, as well as in synthesis of structural tissue proteins. In addition, insulin serves as a growth factor, modulating mitogenesis, growth and differentiation. Insulin mediates all of its effects by initially binding and activating its specific cell-surface receptor. Conformational changes induced by insulin binding lead to activation of intrinsic receptor tyrosine kinase. Thus, the study of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, whether synthetically produced or purified from microorganisms or humans, has led to elucidation of molecular details of physiological insulin signaling.

Abstract
Using digitonin-permeabilized Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that were transfected with intact human insulin receptors (CHO/HIRc cells), we examined insulin receptor phosphorylation and dephosphorylation using pulse-chase techniques. Insulin activated receptor autophosphorylation on tyrosyl residues to a level severalfold over basal, reaching maximal levels after 2, 5, and 10 min of stimulation at 34, 18, and 6 degrees C, respectively. Phosphopeptide analysis revealed that the triply phosphorylated form of the 1146-kinase domain of the insulin receptor was the major species, which is characteristic of the fully active tyrosine kinase function. The dephosphorylation reaction was time- and temperature-dependent with t1/2 values of 0.67 and 2 min at 18 and 6 degrees C, respectively. Vanadate completely inhibited dephosphorylation. Under similar permeabilization conditions when compared with CHO/HIRc cells, CHO/delta CT cells (CHO cells overexpressing a mutated form of the receptor with a 43 amino acid deletion at the C-terminus) stimulated with insulin exhibited larger increases in receptor autophosphorylation levels and in tyrosine kinase activity toward a synthetic peptide substrate; the rate of CHO/delta CT receptor dephosphorylation was not reduced. There was near-complete absence of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) in the cell ghosts after permeabilization. We therefore examined the pattern of tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of residual cellular proteins in permeabilized CHO/HIRc cells by Western blot analysis. In addition to the 95-kDa receptor beta-subunit, we detected the phosphorylation of two glycoproteins which included the commonly found 120-kDa protein and a novel 195-kDa protein whose dephosphorylation rate is slower than that of receptor beta-subunit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Effects of vanadate administration on the insulin receptor status in liver were examined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetic rats were characterized by hyperglycemia (4-fold increase), hypoinsulinemia (81% decrease) and a significant (P < 0.01) increase in hepatic insulin receptor numbers. Autophosphorylation of the beta subunit of insulin receptor and its tyrosine kinase activity towards the synthetic peptide (poly glut4tyr1) decreased by approximately 60% as a result of diabetes. After chronic treatment of these rats with sodium orthovanadate, the plasma glucose levels were normalized to near control values with the hypoinsulinemia remaining unaltered. The insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of the beta subunit increased significantly (P < 0.001) in diabetic rats after treatment with vanadate. However, the improvement in the tyrosine kinase activity was marginal. In vitro, vanadate prevented the dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated insulin receptor and increased its tyrosine kinase activity in the absence as well as presence of insulin. The findings of this study further support the view that insulin receptor is one of the sites involved in the insulin-mimetic actions of vanadate.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases), active against autophosphorylated insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in rat liver, are predominantly membrane associated. Fasting of rats for 48 h decreased hepatic particulate PTPase activity by 15.0-26.9%. This reduction in particulate PTPase activity was due to a rather specific decrease in activity of > 85% of a single species of PTPase, termed PTPase I. Disappearance of PTPase I activity from the particulate fraction was not accounted for by its translocation to the cytosol. PTPase I displayed the highest activity against autophosphorylated insulin and EGF receptors, relative to activity against a 32P-labelled peptide substrate, of three PTPases resolved from the liver particulate fraction. The M(r) value of PTPase I, as determined by gel filtration on a Superose 12 column was approx. 42,000, indicating that PTPase I belongs to the low-M(r) class of PTPases. An antibody raised against PTPase 1B, the prototype of this class of PTPases, did not react with PTPase I in Western blots. The potential importance of the novel change in activity of PTPase I in the regulation of insulin-receptor signal transduction is discussed.

Abstract
We have observed dephosphorylation of the soluble, 48 kDa insulin receptor tyrosine kinase domain following its tyrosine autophosphorylation. Dephosphorylation was associated with generation of inorganic phosphate, thereby making catalysis by reversal of the kinase reaction unlikely. The kinase domain preparations could not be shown to contain detectable, contaminating protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. In addition, dephosphorylation was insensitive to protein phosphatase inhibitors. However, it was blocked by the kinase inhibitor staurosporine. These results are consistent with insulin receptor kinase domain auto-dephosphorylation via catalysis involving the kinase itself. These findings raise the possibility of a novel mechanism for termination of the insulin receptor signal.

Abstract
We have examined the regulation of GLUT-4 phosphorylation in adipocytes isolated from diabetic rats. Despite progressive (40-70%) reductions in GLUT-4 protein contents on the 2nd, 7th, and 14th day of diabetes, the phosphorylation of GLUT-4 was increased two- to fourfold. These alterations were accompanied by concomitant reductions (40-66%) in the insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose transport. Insulin treatment of diabetic animals for 5 d restored glucose transport activity, GLUT-4 protein, and GLUT-4 phosphorylation to control levels whereas vanadate and phlorizin were ineffective. In control adipocytes, insulin promoted GLUT-4 translocation from the low density microsomal (LDM) pool to the plasma membranes (PM) and decreased the state of GLUT-4 phosphorylation. In adipocytes isolated from the diabetic rats, insulin failed to stimulate GLUT-4 translocation and to decrease GLUT-4 phosphorylation. To explore the mechanism of the diabetes-induced increases in the GLUT-4 phosphorylation, we investigated phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPase) activities using 32P-labeled GLUT-4 and phosphorylase "a" as substrates. Diabetes resulted in 50-60% increase in the particulate PSPase activity and concomitant reductions in cytosolic PSPase activities. Although reduced cytosolic PSPase activity correlated with an inadequate dephosphorylation of LDM GLUT-4, the existence of highly phosphorylated PM GLUT-4 in the presence of increased particulate PSPase activity required additional explanation. To address this problem, we used PM GLUT-4 from diabetic rats as a substrate of particulate PSPase. Highly active diabetic particulate PSPase, which dephosphorylated control GLUT-4 and phosphorylase a, failed to dephosphorylate PM GLUT-4 from diabetic rats. These data suggest that PM GLUT-4 from diabetic rats is unable to interact with PSPase or that its phosphorylation sites are not accessible to PSPase action. In summary, an induction of diabetes with streptozotocin resulted in significant increases in GLUT-4 phosphorylation. In contrast to normal cells, insulin failed to promote GLUT-4 recruitment to the plasma membranes and its dephosphorylation in diabetic adipocytes. At the same time, diabetes appears to induce redistribution of PSPases, resulting in lower cytosolic activity and higher particulate activity. It also appears that the existence of highly phosphorylated GLUT-4 in the plasma membranes of diabetic adipocytes resulted from its inability to interact with particulate PSPases.

Abstract
The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptor exhibits structural and functional similarities to the insulin receptor. Although the regulation of the insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase has been extensively investigated, the mechanisms involved in phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the IGF-I receptor have received only little attention. To obtain a better understanding of the mode of IGF-I action, we have investigated the effects of protein phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) on the phosphorylation status of the IGF-I receptor. The dephosphorylation of the human IGF-I receptor by membrane-associated tyrosine phosphatases was studied by an immuno-enzymic assay based on the recognition of phosphotyrosine residues by anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. Using intact IGF-I receptors as substrates, we show that they could be completely dephosphorylated by different cellular PTPases. Three pieces of evidence indicate that receptor dephosphorylation takes place on phosphotyrosine, i.e. the inhibition profile of phosphatase activity by zinc and vanadate, its absolute requirement for thiol compounds and the diminution of [32P]phosphotyrosine labelling of the beta subunit assessed by SDS/PAGE and phosphoamino acid analysis. Tyrosine kinase activity and autophosphorylation of the IGF-I receptor were decreased in a dose-dependent manner by PTPases, indicating that partial dephosphorylation of the receptor was associated with a decrease in its intrinsic activity. The sensitivity of the activated human IGF-I receptor to dephosphorylation on tyrosine leads to the speculation that IGF-I receptor activity might be regulated by mechanisms such as those described for the insulin receptor. Further investigation of the pathways of IGF-I receptor dephosphorylation will contribute to define the role(s) of PTPases in the overall mechanism of IGF-I signalling.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) play an essential role in the regulation of signal transduction mediated by reversible protein-tyrosine phosphorylation. In order to characterize individual rat hepatic PTPases that might have specificity for autophosphorylated receptor tyrosine kinases, we isolated cDNA segments encoding three PTPases (PTPase 1B, LAR and LRP) that are expressed in insulin-sensitive liver and skeletal muscle tissue, and evaluated their catalytic activity in vitro. The intrinsic PTPase activities of the full-length PTPase 1B protein and the cytoplasmic domains of LAR and LRP were studied by expression of recombinant cDNA constructs in the inducible bacterial vector pKK233-2 using extracts of a host strain of Escherichia coli that lacks endogenous PTPase activity. Each of the cloned cDNAs dephosphorylated a cognate phosphopeptide derived from the regulatory region of the insulin receptor. Despite having only 30-39% sequence identity in their catalytic domains, LAR and PTPase 1B had similar relative activities between the peptide substrate and intact insulin receptors, and also displayed similar initial rates of simultaneous dephosphorylation of insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors. In contrast, LRP exhibited a higher rate of dephosphorylation of both intact receptors relative to the peptide substrate, and also dephosphorylated EGF receptors more rapidly than insulin receptors. These studies indicate that three PTPases with markedly divergent structures have the catalytic potential to dephosphorylate both insulin and EGF receptors in intact cells and that redundant PTPase activity may occur in vivo. For these PTPases to have specific physiological actions in intact cells, they must be influenced by steric effects of the additional protein segments of the native transmembrane enzymes, cellular compartmentalization and/or interactions with regulatory proteins.

Abstract
The intrinsic tyrosyl kinase activity of the insulin receptor is regulated by a balance between insulin-induced receptor autophosphorylation, which stimulates the receptor kinase, and enzymatic dephosphorylation of the receptor, which deactivates its kinase activity. The cellular protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) enzymes responsible for reversing the activated state of the insulin receptor have not been characterized. Our laboratory is interested in identifying and cloning the specific PTPase(s) that regulate the phosphorylation state of the insulin receptor. This chapter will summarize the design and results of our initial molecular cloning studies to identify specific PTPases in insulin-sensitive tissues that may have a potential physiological role in insulin action and clinical insulin resistance.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) play an important role in the regulation of insulin action by dephosphorylating the active (autophosphorylated) form of the insulin receptor and attenuating its tyrosine kinase activity. PTPases can also modulate post-receptor signalling by catalyzing the dephosphorylation of cellular substrates of the insulin receptor kinase. Dramatic advances have recently been made in our understanding of PTPases as an extensive family of transmembrane and intracellular proteins that are involved in a number of pathways of cellular signal transduction. Identification of the PTPase(s) which act on various components of the insulin action cascade will not only enhance our understanding of insulin signalling but will also clarify the potential involvement of PTPases in the pathophysiology of insulin-resistant disease states. This brief review provides a summary of reversible tyrosine phosphorylation events in insulin action and available data on candidate PTPases in liver and skeletal muscle that may be involved in the regulation of insulin action.

Abstract
The identity of protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (PTPases) active against autophosphorylated insulin receptor was probed by using an insulin-receptor-related peptide phosphorylated on tyrosine (peptide 1142-1153). Two major peaks of PTPase activity were resolved from the particulate (Triton X-100-soluble) fraction of human placenta by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The two peaks were purified 1300-2300-fold; other peaks of PTPase activity (greater than 15%) were not detected. Properties of the PTPases indicated that they corresponded to subtypes 1A and 1B. Both subtypes appeared capable of catalysing dephosphorylation of all autophosphorylation sites in three domains of the insulin receptor, with no appreciable difference in the pattern of dephosphorylation detected by two-dimensional tryptic-peptide mapping. The tyrosine-1150 domain of the insulin receptor in triply phosphorylated form was found to be highly sensitive to the action of both PTPases, and was dephosphorylated at least 4 times faster than the doubly and singly phosphorylated forms of the tyrosine-1150 domain or phosphorylation sites in other domains by either PTPase. This is significant, as the level of the triphosphotyrosine-1150 species has been shown to correlate well with the capacity of the insulin-receptor tyrosine kinase to phosphorylate other proteins. Both subtypes also dephosphorylated autophosphorylated epidermal-growth-factor (EGF) receptor by greater than 95%. Placental particulate (and cytosolic) PTPase activity against either receptor distributed approximately 2:1 between subtypes 1A and 1B as assayed in the presence of EDTA. In summary, PTPases within two major subtypes have been identified as phosphotyrosyl-insulin and -EGF-receptor phosphatases in vitro. The PTPases identified exhibit high affinities for substrates and high activities in cells, which is commensurate with the PTPases being important in vivo in controlling or reversing autophosphorylation-induced regulatory or signalling events.

Abstract
Insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activation, induced by insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation, was measured using a synthetic peptide containing residues 1142-1153 of the insulin receptor and shown to be reversed by both particulate and soluble phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatases from rat liver. Deactivation of the tyrosine kinase was highly sensitive to phosphatase action and was correlated best with disappearance of insulin receptors triphosphorylated in the tyrosine-1150 domain. Dephosphorylation of the di- and mono-phosphorylated forms of the tyrosine-1150 domain generated during dephosphorylation or of phosphorylation sites in the C-terminal or putative juxta-membrane domains occurred 3- greater than 10-fold more slowly than deactivation of the tyrosine kinase, and these phosphorylated species did not appear to appreciably (less than 20%) contribute to tyrosine kinase activation. These results indicate that the transition from the triply to the doubly phosphorylated form of the tyrosine-1150 domain acts as an important switch for deactivation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase during dephosphorylation. The exquisite sensitivity of this dephosphorylation/deactivation event to phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatase action, combined with the high affinities of this phosphatases for substrates and the high activities of the phosphatases in cells, suggests that the tyrosine kinase activity expressed by insulin-stimulated insulin receptors is likely to be stringently regulated.

Abstract
1. Insulin receptors were partially purified from rat liver by chromatography on wheat-germ-lectin-Sepharose. Incubation with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of insulin resulted in increased phosphorylation of the beta-subunit on both tyrosine and serine residues. Two-dimensional mapping of tryptic peptides showed that, in agreement with previous studies using preparations of receptors from other sources, the tyrosine residues involved were the three tyrosines in the kinase domain (corresponding to tyrosines 1158, 1162 and 1163 of the human receptor) plus two tyrosines close to the C-terminus (corresponding to tyrosines 1328 and 1334). 2. The effects of insulin on the phosphorylation of receptors within intact rat liver cells were determined by incubating cells in the presence of [32P]Pi for 50 min and then with or without insulin for a further 10 min. The labelled receptors were then rapidly isolated by sequential use of wheat-germ-lectin-Sepharose chromatography and immuno-isolation using a monoclonal antibody to the C-terminal end of the beta-subunit. 3. Insulin was found to increase overall phosphorylation of the receptor nearly 3-fold. Two-dimensional mapping was then carried out in combination with phosphoamino acid analysis. This revealed that the pattern of phosphorylation of the receptors in cells incubated in the absence and presence of insulin exhibited a number of marked differences from that observed in previous studies on intact cells, which had been restricted to cells expressing very high levels of insulin receptors such as certain hepatoma-derived cells or cells transfected with insulin receptor cDNA. The differences in the effects of insulin included a larger increase in the proportion of receptors being phosphorylated on the three tyrosine residues of the kinase domain, no apparent phosphorylation of the two tyrosine residues close to the C-terminus and no increase in either threonine or overall serine phosphorylation. 4. The receptors appeared to be phosphorylated on a number of different serine residues in cells incubated in the absence of insulin. Evidence for both increases and decreases in the phosphorylation of specific serine residues on addition of insulin was obtained. 5. It is concluded that care should be taken when extrapolating findings on the phosphorylation of the insulin receptor within cultured cells to more physiological situations.
