Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein Down-Regulates Expression of Src-Homology 2 Domain Containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase by Modulating Promoter DNA Methylation. Viruses 2021; 13:v13122514. [PMID: 34960785 PMCID: PMC8709277 DOI: 10.3390/v13122514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Revised: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major causative pathogen associated with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The main virion component, the core (C) protein, has been implicated in several aspects of HCV pathology including oncogenesis and immune subversion. Here we show that expression of the C protein induced specific tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR-related signaling proteins ZAP-70, LAT and PLC-γ in the T cells. Stable expression of the C protein specifically reduced Src homology domain 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1) mRNA and protein accumulation. Quantitative CpG methylation analysis revealed a distinct CpG methylation pattern at the SHP-1 gene promoter in the C protein expressing cells that included specific hypermethylation of the binding site for Sp1 transcription factor. Collectively, our results suggest that HCV may suppress immune responses and facilitate its own persistence by deregulating phosphotyrosine signaling via repressive epigenetic CpG modification at the SHP-1 promoter in the T cells.

Abstract
Signal transduction from the BCR is regulated by the equilibrium between kinases (e.g., spleen tyrosine kinase [Syk]) and phosphatases (e.g., Shp-1). Previous studies showed that Syk-deficient B cells have a developmental block at the pro/pre-B cell stage, whereas a B cell-specific Shp-1 deficiency promoted B-1a cell development and led to autoimmunity. We generated B cell-specific Shp-1 and Syk double-knockout (DKO) mice and compared them to the single-knockout mice deficient for either Syk or Shp-1. Unlike Syk-deficient mice, the DKO mice can generate mature B cells, albeit at >20-fold reduced B cell numbers. The DKO B-2 cells are all Syk-negative, whereas the peritoneal B1 cells of the DKO mice still express Syk, indicating that they require this kinase for their proper development. The DKO B-2 cells cannot be stimulated via the BCR, whereas they are efficiently activated via TLR or CD40. We also found that in DKO pre-B cells, the kinase Zap70 is associated with the pre-BCR, suggesting that Zap70 is important to promote B cell maturation in the absence of Syk and SHP-1. Together, our data show that a properly balanced kinase/phosphatase equilibrium is crucial for normal B cell development and function.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a major disorder that links obesity to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). It involves defects in the insulin actions owing to a reduced ability of insulin to trigger key signaling pathways in major metabolic tissues. The pathogenesis of insulin resistance involves several inhibitory molecules that interfere with the tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and its downstream effectors. Among those, growing interest has been developed toward the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), a large family of enzymes that can inactivate crucial signaling effectors in the insulin signaling cascade by dephosphorylating their tyrosine residues. Herein we briefly review the role of several PTPs that have been shown to be implicated in the regulation of insulin action, and then focus on the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing SHP1 and SHP2 enzymes, since recent reports have indicated major roles for these PTPs in the control of insulin action and glucose metabolism. Finally, the therapeutic potential of targeting PTPs for combating insulin resistance and alleviating T2D will be discussed.

Abstract
More than half of the known protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in the human genome are expressed in T cells, and significant progress has been made in elucidating the biology of these enzymes in T-cell development and function. Here we provide a systematic review of the current understanding of the roles of PTPs in T-cell activation, providing insight into their mechanisms of action and regulation in T-cell receptor signalling, the phenotypes of their genetically modified mice, and their possible involvement in T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease. Our projection is that the interest in PTPs as mediators of T-cell homeostasis will continue to rise with further functional analysis of these proteins, and PTPs will be increasingly considered as targets of immunomodulatory therapies.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 is highly expressed in CNS glia and is an important modulator of cytokine signaling. As such, mice genetically lacking SHP-1 display constitutive myelin abnormalities, severe virus-induced demyelinating disease, and defects in innate anti-viral responses in the CNS. In this study, we show the differential distribution of the SHP-1 promoter-specific transcripts and demonstrate that several cytokines significantly induce SHP-1 expression in CNS glia. Consistent with these cytokine effects, infection with a neurotropic virus both in vitro and in vivo up-regulates SHP-1 transcripts and protein in CNS cells. Using CNS glial cultures of gene knockout mice, we show that interferons-beta and interferons-gamma act through STAT-1 and interferon regulatory factor-1 to induce the SHP-1 promoter I transcripts. Conversely, interferons-beta and IL-6 act through STAT-3 to induce SHP-1 promoter II transcripts. This study demonstrates that interferons and other cytokines associated with virus infections in the CNS can significantly induce the expression of SHP-1 through STAT-1/3 activity and provides a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating cytokine-induced expression important for multiple homeostatic functions of SHP-1 in the CNS.

Abstract
We have recently developed a fragment based selection strategy for targeting kinases, where a small molecule warhead can be non-covalently tethered to a phage-displayed library of peptides. This approach was applied to the conversion of the promiscuous kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, into a potent bivalent ligand for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Herein we report a systematic evaluation of this new bivalent ligand (BL); (a) Lineweaver-Burke analysis revealed that the BL, unlike substrate-based bivalent kinase inhibitors, displayed non-competitive inhibition with respect to the peptide substrate, suggesting an allosteric mechanism of action; (b) linker optimization of the BL, afforded one of the most potent, sub-nanomolar, inhibitors of PKA reported to date; (c) the BL was found to be modular, where attachment of active site targeted small molecule warheads in lieu of staurosporine could achieve similar gains in affinity; and (d) profiling studies of both the staurosporine derivative and the BL (amide isostere) against a panel of 90 kinases revealed almost unique enhancement in selectivity against PKA (>5-fold) compared to the starting staurosporine derivative. These combined results provide new insights for BL discovery, which has the potential to provide guidance toward the development of kinase selective reagents while uncovering new allosteric sites on kinases for therapeutic targeting.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins play a critical role for many T-cell functions. The opposing actions of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) determine the level of tyrosine phosphorylation at any time. It is well accepted that PTKs are essential during T-cell signaling; however, the role and importance of PTPs are much less known and appreciated. Both transmembrane and cytoplasmic tyrosine phosphatases have been identified in T cells and shown to regulate T-cell responses. This review focuses on the roles of the two cytoplasmic PTPs, the Src-homology 2 domain (SH2)-containing SHP-1 and SHP-2, in T-cell signaling, development, differentiation, and function.

Abstract
Abstract
Lyn, a tyrosine kinase belonging to the Src family, plays a key role as a switch molecule that couples the B-cell receptor to downstream signaling. In B-CLL cells, Lyn is overexpressed, anomalously present in the cytosol, and displays a high constitutive activity, compared with normal B lymphocytes. The aim of this work was to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying these aberrant properties of Lyn, which have already been demonstrated to be related to defective apoptosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells. Herein, Lyn is described to be in an active conformation as integral component of an aberrant cytosolic 600-kDa multiprotein complex in B-CLL cells, associated with several proteins, such as Hsp90 through its catalytic domain, and HS1 and SHP-1L through its SH3 domain. In particular, Hsp90 appears tightly bound to cytosolic Lyn (CL), thus stabilizing the aberrant complex and converting individual transient interactions into stable ones. We also demonstrate that treatment of B-CLL cells with geldanamycin, an Hsp90 inhibitor already reported to induce cell death, is capable of dissociating the CL complex in the early phases of apoptosis and thus inactivating CL itself. These data identify the CL complex as a potential target for therapy in B-CLL.

Abstract
The Src homology-2-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1), is a negative regulator of cell signaling. It is also considered a tumor suppressor gene because of its ability to antagonize the action of tyrosine kinases. Although SHP-1 is expressed strongly in hematopoietic cells, decreased expression has been observed in various hematological malignancies, which suggests a central involvement of SHP-1 in leukemogenesis. We have shown previously that human T cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) Tax-induced promoter silencing (TIPS) is an early event causing down-regulation of SHP-1 expression, which is dependent on NF-kappaB. In this study, DNase I footprinting and EMSA also revealed binding of transcription factors, specificity protein 1 (Sp1) and octamer-binding transcription factor 1 (Oct-1) to the P2 promoter, and site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that these factors contribute to the basal P2 promoter activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) assays showed that Sp1, Oct-1, NF-kappaB, CREB-1, and RNA polymerase II interacted with the core SHP-1 P2 promoter in CD4+ T cells and Jurkat cells but not in HTLV-1-transformed MT-2 and HUT102 cells when HTLV-1 Tax is present. Furthermore, bisulfite sequencing of the SHP-1 P2 core region revealed heavy CpG methylation in HTLV-1-transformed cells compared with freshly isolated CD4+ T cells and HTLV-1-noninfected T cell lines. A significant inverse correlation between degree of CpG methylation and expression of SHP-1 mRNA or protein was observed. Taken together, our data support the notion that in HTLV-1-transformed CD4+ T cells, TIPS causes dissociation of transcription factors from the core SHP-1 P2 promoter, which in turn leads to subsequent DNA methylation, an important early step for leukemogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Specific T-cell activation requires T-cell receptor stimulation and the generation of costimulatory signals. Major costimulatory signals are delivered to T cells by the interaction of CD28 and inducible costimulator (ICOS). OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular pathways involved in direct T-cell suppression by IL-10. METHODS T-cell proliferation analysis, immunoprecipitations, and Western blots were performed after T-cell receptor and CD28 and ICOS stimulations in the absence or presence of IL-10. Dominant-negative src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1) overexpression, small inhibitory RNA, and SHP-1-deficient and IL-10-deficient mice were used. RESULTS IL-10 receptor-associated tyrosine kinase Tyk-2 acts as a constitutive reservoir for SHP-1 in resting T cells, and then tyrosine phosphorylates SHP-1 on IL-10 binding. SHP-1 rapidly binds to CD28 and ICOS costimulatory receptors and dephosphorylates them within minutes. In consequence, the binding of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase to either costimulatory receptor no longer occurs, and downstream signaling is inhibited. Accordingly, spleen cells from SHP-1-deficient mice showed increased proliferation with CD28 and ICOS stimulation in comparison with wild-type mice, which was not suppressed by IL-10. Generation of dominant-negative SHP-1-overexpressing T cells or silencing of the SHP-1 gene by small inhibitory RNA both altered SHP-1 functions and abolished the T-cell suppressive effect of IL-10. CONCLUSION The rapid inhibition of the CD28 or ICOS costimulatory pathways by SHP-1 represents a novel mechanism for direct T-cell suppression by IL-10. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Molecular mechanisms of direct T-cell suppression by IL-10 may provide a novel target for therapy of allergy/asthma and autoimmune disease.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphorylation is a ubiquitous signalling mechanism and is regulated by a balance between the action of kinases and phosphatases. The SH2 domain-containing phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2 are the best studied of the classical non-receptor tyrosine phosphatases, but it is intriguing that despite their close sequence and structural homology these two phosphatases play quite different cellular roles. In particular, whereas SHP-1 plays a largely negative signalling role suppressing cellular activation, SHP-2 plays a largely positive signalling role. Major sequence differences between the two molecules are apparent in the approximately 100 amino acid residues at the extreme C-terminus of the proteins, beyond the phosphatase catalytic domain. Here we review how the differences in the tails of these proteins may regulate their activities and explain some of their functional differences.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation plays a critical role in many regulatory aspects of cellular signaling, and dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine residues is crucial for termination of signals initiated by tyrosine kinases. Previous work has shown that the tyrosine kinase Src phosphorylates Tyr644 on phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase type I (PIPKI) gamma661 in a focal adhesion kinase-dependent manner. Phosphorylation of this residue is essential for high affinity binding of PIPKI gamma661 to the focal adhesion protein talin and for targeting of PIPKI gamma661 to focal adhesions. A yeast two-hybrid screen performed with the C-terminal 178-amino acid tail of PIPKI gamma661 identified an interaction with the phosphatase domain of the tyrosine phosphatase Shp-1. The interaction between PIPKI gamma661 and Shp-1 was confirmed via co-immunoprecipitation from HEK293 cell lysates. In addition, Src-phosphorylated PIPKI gamma661 is a substrate for Shp-1, and Shp-1 modulates both the association between PIPKI gamma661 and talin and the targeting of PIPKI gamma661 to focal adhesions in mammalian cells. Finally, we showed that Shp-1 phosphatase activity is inhibited by the product of PIPKI gamma661, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, in vitro. These combined results suggest a model in which the reciprocal actions of Src tyrosine kinase and Shp-1 tyrosine phosphatase dynamically regulate the association between PIPKI gamma661 and talin.

Abstract
The protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 is a negative regulator of multiple signal transduction pathways. We observed that SHP-1 effectively antagonized Src-dependent phosphorylations in HEK293 cells. This occurred by dephosphorylation of Src substrates, because Src activity was unaffected in the presence of SHP-1. One reason for efficient dephosphorylation was activation of SHP-1 by Src. Recombinant SHP-1 had elevated activity subsequent to phosphorylation by Src in vitro, and SHP-1 variants with mutated phosphorylation sites in the C terminus, SHP-1 Y538F, and SHP-1 Y538F,Y566F were less active toward Src-generated phosphoproteins in intact cells. A second reason for efficient dephosphorylation is the substrate selectivity of SHP-1. Pull-down experiments with different GST-SHP-1 fusion proteins revealed efficient interaction of Src-generated phosphoproteins with the SHP-1 catalytic domain rather than with the SH2 domains. Phosphopeptides that correspond to good Src substrates were efficiently dephosphorylated by SHP-1 in vitro. Phosphorylated "optimal Src substrate" AEEEIpYGEFEA (where pY is phosphotyrosine) and a phosphopeptide corresponding to a recently identified Src phosphorylation site in p120 catenin, DDLDpY(296)GMMSD, were excellent SHP-1 substrates. Docking of these phosphopeptides into the catalytic domain of SHP-1 by molecular modeling was consistent with the biochemical data and explains the efficient interaction. Acidic residues N-terminal of the phosphotyrosine seem to be of major importance for efficient substrate interaction. Residues C-terminal of the phosphotyrosine probably contribute to the substrate selectivity of SHP-1. We propose that activation of SHP-1 by Src and complementary substrate specificities of SHP-1 and Src may lead to very transient Src signals in the presence of SHP-1.

Abstract
SHP-1, an src homology 2 (SH2) domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase, functions as a negative regulator of signaling downstream of cytokine receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases and receptor complexes of the immune system. Dephosphorylation of receptors and/or receptor-associated kinases has been described as the mechanism for the function of SHP-1. Here we demonstrate a novel mechanism by which SHP-1 down-regulates the Janus kinase-2 (Jak2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (Stat5) pathway downstream of the prolactin receptor (PRLR) and the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) in a catalytic activity-independent manner. Structural/functional analysis of SHP-1 defined the C-terminal tyrosine residues (Y278, Y303, Y538, Y566) within growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb-2) binding motif to be responsible for delivering the inhibitory effects. Our results further indicate that these tyrosine residues, via recruitment of the adaptor protein Grb-2, are required for targeting the inhibitory protein suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) to Jak2 kinase. Finally, loss of SOCS-1 expression in SOCS-1(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells led to attenuation in SHP-1 function to down-regulate PRL-induced Stat5 activation. All together, our results indicate that SHP-1 inhibits PRLR and EPOR signaling by recruitment and targeting of SOCS-1 to Jak2, highlighting a new mechanism of SHP-1 regulation of cytokine-receptor signaling.

Abstract
SHP-1, a protein-tyrosine phosphatase with two src-homology 2 domains, is expressed predominantly in hematopoietic and epithelial cells and has been implicated in numerous signaling pathways as a negative regulator. Two promoters direct the expression of human and murine SHP-1, and two types of transcripts (I) and (II) SHP-1, are initiated from each of these promoters. The cDNA sequences of (I)SHP-1 and (II)SHP-1 are identical except in the 5' untranslated region and in the first few coding nucleotides. In this report, we show that promoter usage is similar in mouse and human hematopoietic cells, but different in epithelial cells. In human epithelial cells, only (I)SHP-1 transcripts were expressed. In addition, 4beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate up-regulates human (I)SHP-1 transcript expression in SKOV3 cells (an ovarian cancer cell line). Indirect evidence suggests that nuclear factor-kappaB might play a role in this induction. We also show that a 12-bp repeat in the distal SHP-1 promoter, which directs (I)SHP-1 expression, is of functional relevance as deletion of one copy of this E-box-containing 12-bp repeat resulted in a significant decrease in promoter activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and supershift experiments showed that the upstream stimulatory factors USF1 and USF2 hetero-dimerize and interact with this 12 bp repeat. Our results suggest that USFs which have antiproliferative functions might regulate the expression of SHP-1, which itself is predominantly a negative growth regulator.

Abstract
SHP-1 protein tyrosine phosphatase is a critical regulator of signaling in hematopoietic cells as illustrated by the lethal hematopoietic disorders in SHP-1-deficient mice. We and others have shown in previous studies that SHP-1 regulates membrane receptor signaling: it binds via its N-terminal region SH2 domains to tyrosine phosphorylated membrane receptors to dephosphorylate key substrates in the receptor complexes. Here we demonstrate that the SHP-1 C-terminal region contains a bipartite NLS that mediates SHP-1 nuclear localization in response to cytokines. This NLS was located within amino acids 576-595 of the PTPase and, when fused by itself to EGFP, targeted the fluorescent protein into the nuclei of transiently transfected NIH3T3 fibroblasts and Bac1.2f5 macrophage cells. When positioned within SHP-1, the activity of the NSL was under tight regulation as indicated by the predominant cytoplasmic distribution of the EGFP/SHP-1 fusion protein in NIH3T3 transfectants and the exclusive cytoplasmic localization of the endogenous SHP-1 in hematopoietic cell line PBLC-1. Activation of the NLS in SHP-1 by IL-4 was demonstrated by increased nuclear localization of the EGFP/SHP-1 fusion protein in NIH3T3 transfectants and of the endogenous SHP-1 protein in PBCL-1 cells at 4, 6 and 8 h post-IL-4 stimulation. SHP-1 nuclear localization in PBCL-1 cells was also induced by IL-7 in a similar manner, suggesting it as a common event in cytokine signaling. In comparison to that of the wild-type phosphatase, an SHP-1 mutant lacking the NLS showed only approximately half of the activity in inhibiting proliferation of NIH3T3 transfectants. These results provide evidence of cytokine-regulated SHP-1 nuclear localization mediated by a bipartite NLS and suggest that SHP-1 regulates nuclear signaling in cell growth control.

Abstract
SH3 domains regulate many normal and pathological cellular processes by guiding specific protein interactions. Studies on binding of HIV-1 Nef to the SH3 domain of the Hck tyrosine kinase have indicated an important role for the SH3 RT-loop region in ligand binding. Here we have tested the potential of artificial Hck-derived SH3 domains carrying tailored RT-loops providing high affinity for Nef as intracellular inhibitors of Nef. These artificial SH3 domains efficiently associated with Nef in cells and thereby potently inhibited SH3-dependent Nef functions, such as association with p21-activated kinase-2 and induction of the transcription factor NFAT. On the other hand, biochemical and functional data indicated that the Nef-targeted SH3 domains were not prone to compete with normal SH3-mediated processes. Thus, RT-loop-modified SH3 domains represent a novel approach for selectively interfering with cellular signaling events, which could be exploited in research as well as in therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2 play an important role in many intracellular signaling pathways. Both SHP-1 and SHP-2 have been shown to interact with a diverse range of cytosolic and membrane-bound signaling proteins. Generally, SHP-1 and SHP-2 perform opposing roles in signaling processes; SHP-1 acts as a negative regulator of transduction in hemopoietic cells, whereas SHP-2 acts as a positive regulator. Intriguingly, SHP-1 has been proposed to play a positive regulating role in nonhemopoietic cells, although the mechanisms for this are not understood. Here we show that green fluorescent protein-tagged SHP-1 is unexpectedly localized within the nucleus of transfected HEK293 cells. In contrast, the highly related SHP-2 protein is more abundant within the cytoplasm of transfected cells. In accordance with this, endogenous SHP-1 is localized within the nucleus of several other nonhemopoietic cell types, whereas SHP-2 is distributed throughout the cytoplasm. In contrast, SHP-1 is confined to the cytoplasm of hemopoietic cells, with very little nuclear SHP-1 evident. Using chimeric SHP proteins and mutagenesis studies, the nuclear localization signal of SHP-1 was identified within the C-terminal domain of SHP-1 and found to consist of a short cluster of basic amino acids (KRK). Although the KRK motif resembles half of a bipartite nuclear localization signal, it appears to function independently and is absolutely required for nuclear import. Our findings show that SHP-1 and SHP-2 are distinctly localized within nonhemopoietic cells, with the localization of SHP-1 differing dramatically between nonhemopoietic and hemopoietic cell lineages. This implies that SHP-1 nuclear import is a tightly regulated process and indicates that SHP-1 may possess novel nuclear targets.
