Abstract
The discovery that the PTEN tumor suppressor encodes a phosphoinositide 3-phosphatase has raised interest in the effects of constitutive activation of PI 3-kinase. To gain insight into PI 3-kinase function, we have stably expressed a myristoylated form of the catalytic subunit p110alpha (myr-p110) in cells. The myr-p110 associated with the endogenous p85 regulatory subunit and retained lipid and protein kinase activity. Stable lines expressing myr-p110 had 2- to 4-fold more PI 3-kinase activity than controls. Expression of myr-p110 altered cellular morphology and increased the saturation density in culture. These clones were morphologically transformed but Akt and pp70(s6k) were not constitutively activated in contrast to transient assays and from tumor cell lines deficient in PTEN. In addition, the ability of PDGF to induce activation of Akt and pp70(s6k) was diminished. Therefore, expression of a myristoylated PI 3-kinase in murine fibroblasts induces a morphological transformation of the cells.

Abstract
The neu differentiation factors/heregulins (HRGs) comprise a family of polypeptide growth factors that activate p185(erbB-2) through direct binding to either erbB-3 or erbB-4 receptor tyrosine kinases. We have previously shown that HRG-beta is mitogenic for various human mammary epithelial cell lines that coexpress c-erbB-2 and c-erbB-3. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is activated by p185(erbB-2) /erbB-3 heterodimers in cells stimulated by HRG, and PI3K is constitutively activated by p185(erbB-2) /erbB-3 in breast carcinoma cells that overexpress c-erbB-2. To better understand the relative abilities of HRGs, epidermal growth factor (EGF), or insulin to activate PI3K under normal physiological conditions, we compared the levels of recruitment of the 85-kDa regulatory subunit of PI3K when activated by the type I (erbB) or type II [insulin-like growth factor (IGF)] receptor tyrosine kinases in two different nontransformed human mammary epithelial cell lines. The nontransformed H16N-2 cells isolated from normal tissue express EGFR, p185(erbB-2), and erbB-3, and are highly responsive to the mitogenic effects of HRG-beta as well as to the combination of EGF and insulin in serum-free culture. We measured the stoichiometry of p85 recruited by tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins induced in H16N-2 cells by either the alpha or the beta isoform of HRG. HRG-beta was greater than 10-fold more potent in inducing p85 recruitment than was the less biologically active HRG-alpha isoform. HRG-beta was also a more potent inducer of p85 recruited by tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins than was either EGF, insulin, or EGF and insulin combined. Furthermore, erbB-3 principally mediated the direct recruitment of p85 in cells stimulated by HRG or EGF, indicating that, in addition to the high-level activation of PI3K by p185(erbB-2) / erbB-3, EGFR/erbB-3 heterodimer interaction is essential for the weak but significant level of PI3K activated by EGF in cells that express normal EGFR levels. Studies using the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin also indicated that PI3K activation was required for the proliferation of H16N-2 cells induced by either HRG-beta or EGF and insulin in serum-free culture. Finally, HRG-beta was also an especially potent inducer of PI3K in the nontransformed MCF-10A cells, which were derived spontaneously from normal reduction mammoplasty tissue. These data show, for the first time, a side-by-side quantitative comparison of the relative degree of PI3K activated by different growth factors in nontransformed growth factor-dependent cells under precisely defined conditions in culture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis is involved in tumor growth, macular degeneration, retinopathy and other diseases. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulates angiogenesis by binding to specific receptors (VEGFRs) on the surface of vascular endothelial cells. VEGFRs are receptor tyrosine kinases that, like the platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs), contain a large insert within the kinase domain. RESULTS We report here the generation, kinetic characterization, and 2.4 A crystal structure of the catalytic kinase domain of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2). This protein construct, which lacks 50 central residues of the 68-residue kinase insert domain (KID), has comparable kinase activity to constructs containing the entire KID. The crystal structure, determined in an unliganded phosphorylated state, reveals an overall fold and catalytic residue positions similar to those observed in other tyrosine-kinase structures. The kinase activation loop, autophosphorylated on Y1059 prior to crystallization, is mostly disordered; however, a portion of it occupies a position inhibitory to substrate binding. The ends of the KID form a beta-like structure, not observed in other known tyrosine kinase structures, that packs near to the kinase C terminus. CONCLUSIONS The majority of the VEGFR2 KID residues are not necessary for kinase activity. The unique structure observed for the ends of the KID may also occur in other PDGFR family members and may serve to properly orient the KID for signal transduction. This VEGFR2 kinase structure provides a target for design of selective anti-angiogenic therapeutic agents.

Abstract
We have evaluated the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) and Ca2+ influx in ligand-stimulated internalization of the c-Kit receptor. The wild type (wt) c-Kit receptor and YF719, a mutant receptor in which the SH2-mediated binding site for the p85 subunit of PI3-kinase is disrupted, were expressed in DA-1 cells. YF719 internalized with similar kinetics as wt c-Kit although the receptor remained localized close to the plasma membrane. However, in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, or in the presence of the competitive Ca2+ influx blocker Ni2+, the YF719 mutant failed to internalize. Failure to internalize in the absence of Ca2+ was also observed for the wt c-Kit receptor in cells that were pretreated with the PI3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin. Following stimulation with ligand, clathrin heavy chains were found to co-immunoprecipitate with c-Kit. However, under conditions in which PI3-kinase activity is inhibited and Ca2+ influx is blocked, clathrin failed to co-immunoprecipitate with c-Kit. Our results demonstrate that both Ca2+ influx and PI3-kinase activity influence c-Kit endocytosis, and inhibition of these two signals disrupts the earliest stages of ligand-mediated internalization.

Abstract
Tensin is an SH2 domain-containing cytoskeletal protein that binds to and caps actin filaments. Investigation of signal transduction mechanisms associated with tensin revealed the presence of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity in tensin immunoprecipitates from platelet-derived growth factor-treated cells. Association of PI 3-kinase activity with tensin was transitory, and the amount of activity was approximately 1% of the total PI 3-kinase activity found in anti-phosphotyrosine (anti-pY) immunoprecipitates. In vitro, PI 3-kinase activity associated with the SH2 domain of tensin in a platelet-derived growth factor-dependent manner. The optimal phosphopeptide binding specificity of the SH2 domain of tensin was determined to be phospho-Y (E or D), N, (I, V, or F). Synthetic phosphopeptides containing the sequence YENI could specifically block the association of PI 3-kinase activity with tensin in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that PI 3-kinase interacts with the cytoskeleton via the SH2 domain of tensin and may play an important role in platelet-derived growth factor-induced cytoskeletal reorganization that is concomitant with cell migration and proliferation.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) has been shown to play a key role in growth factor signaling pathways, although its signaling mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Using the yeast interaction trap system, we have identified Grb2 as a PI 3-kinase interacting protein. Our experiments demonstrate that p85, the regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase, interacts with Grb2 in vivo, and this interaction is independent of growth factor stimulation. The direct association between Grb2 and p85 was reconstituted in vitro with glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins. Domain analyses and peptide competition indicate that the association is mediated by the SH3 domains of Grb2 and the proline-rich motifs of p85 and that only one SH3 domain is required for minimal binding. The interaction does not displace the catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase but is exclusive of Sos. Signaling through PI 3-kinase, therefore, may involve the ubiquitous adapter Grb2, which serves as a convergence point for multiple pathways.

Abstract
Activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) undergoes autophosphorylation on several cytoplasmic tyrosine residues, which may then associate with the src homology-2 (SH2) domains of effector proteins such as phospholipase C gamma-1 (PLC gamma-1). Specific phosphotyrosine (pTyr)-modified EGFR fragment peptides can inhibit this intermolecular binding between activated EGFR and a tandem amino- and carboxy-terminal (N/C) SH2 protein construct derived from PLC gamma-1. In this study, we further explored the molecular recognition of phosphorylated EGFR988-998 (Asp-Ala-Asp-Glu-pTyr-Leu-Ile-Pro-Gln-Gln-Gly, I) by PLC gamma-1 N/C SH2 in terms of singular Ala substitutions for amino acid residues N- and C-terminal to the pTyr (P site) of phosphopeptide I. Comparison of the extent to which these phosphopeptides inhibited binding of PLC gamma-1 N/C SH2 to activated EGFR showed the critical importance of amino acid side chains at positions P+2 (Ile994), P+3 (Pro995), and P+4 (Gln996). Relative to phosphopeptide I, multiple Ala substitution throughout the N-terminal sequence, N-terminal sequence, N-terminal truncation, or dephosphorylation of pTyr each resulted in significantly decreased binding to PLC gamma-1 N/C SH2. These structure-activity results were analyzed by molecular modeling studies of the predicted binding of phosphopeptide I to each the N- and C-terminal SH2 domains of PLC gamma-1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Currently, a central question in biology is how signals from the cell surface modulate intracellular processes. In recent years phosphoinositides have been shown to play a key role in signal transduction. Two phosphoinositide pathways have been characterized, to date. In the canonical phosphoinositide turnover pathway, activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C results in the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and the generation of two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. The 3-phosphoinositide pathway involves protein-tyrosine kinase-mediated recruitment and activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, resulting in the production of phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. The 3-phosphoinositides are not substrates of any known phospholipase C, are not components of the canonical phosphoinositide turnover pathway, and may themselves act as intracellular mediators. The 3-phosphoinositide pathway has been implicated in growth factor-dependent mitogenesis, membrane ruffling and glucose uptake. Furthermore the homology of the yeast vps34 with the mammalian phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase has suggested a role for this pathway in vesicular trafficking. In this review the different mechanisms employed by protein-tyrosine kinases to activate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and its involvement in the signaling cascade initiated by tyrosine phosphorylation, are examined.

Abstract
The SV40 T-antigen-transfected human thyroid cell line SGHTL-34 was used to investigate the effect of thyrotropin (TSH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on c-fos and c-erbB/EGF receptor (EGF-R) mRNA expression and their role in human thyroid cell proliferation. EGF caused a transient 8- and 4-fold increase in c-fos mRNA level after 30 min in serum/hormone-deprived and in logarithmically growing cells, respectively. EGF was only mitogenic in the presence of serum, as measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation and cell counting. TSH had no detectable effect on c-fos mRNA expression and no mitogenic effect on the SGHTL-34 cells. IGF-1 showed no effect alone or in combination with EGF or TSH on either proliferation or c-fos mRNA expression. Our data suggest that increased c-fos mRNA levels are part of the mitogenic pathway, but are insufficient to engender a mitogenic response. SGHTL-34 cells produced high levels of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) and c-erbB/EGF-R mRNA, also seen in thyroid papillary carcinomas. The TGF-alpha protein was detected in conditioned medium from the SGHTL-34 cells, indicating that TGF-alpha may function as an autocrine growth factor. Our data show that the c-erbB/EGF-R mRNA level is regulated by growth factors and hormones in the SGHTL-34 cell line. The SGHTL-34 cells may therefore represent a useful model system for studying the role of TGF-alpha and EGF-R in thyroid carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Degenerate oligonucleotide primers complementary to the highly conserved subdomains III and VIII of subclass III tyrosine kinase receptors (TKr-III) were utilized to amplify rat aortic cDNA by polymerase chain reaction. Most of the cloned DNA products were rat platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta and macrophage-colony stimulating growth factor receptor cDNAs. Screening of the clones with probes coding for the receptor-specific kinase insert domain allowed the identification of a novel putative TKr-III cDNA, which hybridized with a approximately 6.1 kb mRNA with a distinctive tissue distribution. In situ hybridization on rat tissues and Northern analysis of cultured cells indicate that endothelial cells express a novel putative TKr-III mRNA.

Abstract
The receptor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) binds two proteins containing SH2 domains, GTPase activating protein (GAP) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase). The sites on the receptor that mediate this interaction were identified by using phosphotyrosine-containing peptides representing receptor sequences to block specifically binding of either PI3-kinase or GAP. These results suggested that PI3-kinase binds two phosphotyrosine residues, each located in a 5 aa motif with an essential methionine at the fourth position C-terminal to the tyrosine. Point mutations at these sites caused a selective elimination of PI3-kinase binding and loss of PDGF-stimulated DNA synthesis. Mutation of the binding site for GAP prevented the receptor from associating with or phosphorylating GAP, but had no effect on PI3-kinase binding and little effect on DNA synthesis. Therefore, GAP and PI3-kinase interact with the receptor by binding to different phosphotyrosine-containing sequence motifs.

Abstract
The B cell antigen receptor regulates the tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathway and it mediates a variety of morphological changes such as capping and membrane ruffling. The relationship between these two events is unclear. We show here that cross-linking the antigen receptor on human B lymphocytes, in addition to increasing tyrosine phosphorylation of specific substrates, induces the conversion of G-actin to F-actin. Preincubation of B lymphocytes with two different tyrphostins blocked anti-IgM-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and actin polymerization. The ability of the tyrphostins to block anti-IgM induced conversion of G-actin to F-actin indicates that a tyrosine kinase acts as an essential link between the B cell antigen receptor the early changes in cytoskeletal reorganization.

Abstract
The heparin-binding or fibroblast growth factors (HBGFs) modulate cell growth and migration, angiogenesis, wound repair, neurite extension, and mesoderm induction. Relatively little is known regarding the precise mechanism of action of these growth factors or the structural basis for their action. A better understanding of the structural basis for the different activities of these proteins should lead to the development of agonists and antagonists of specific HBGF activities. In this report, we summarize evidence that indicates that the heparin-binding and mitogenic activities of HBGF-1 can be dissociated from the receptor-binding activities of the growth factor by site-directed mutagenesis of a single lysine residue. Thus, the mutant HBGF-1 has normal receptor-binding activity and is capable of stimulating tyrosine kinase activity and proto-oncogene expression but is not able to elicit a mitogenic response. A similar dissociation of early events such as proto-oncogene expression from the mitogenic response is observed when the human wild-tupe HBGF-1 is used in the absence of added heparin. These results indicate that intracellular sites of action by the growth factor may be required to complete the mitogenic response. Further evidence for this idea is provided by transfection experiments where NIH 3T3 cells are engineered to produce large quantities of wild-type or mutant HBGF-1. Production of wild-type induces a transformed phenotype, whereas over-production of the mutant does not. The majority of both forms of the protein is found in the nuclear fraction of the transfected cells. Additional site-directed mutagenesis of putative nuclear translocation sequences in the wild-type protein do not affect mitogenic activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The study of human genetic disorders known as premature aging syndromes may provide insight into the mechanisms of cellular senescence. These diseases are clinically characterized by the premature onset and accelerated progression of numerous features normally associated with human aging. Previous studies have indicated that fibroblasts derived from premature aging syndrome patients have in vitro growth properties similar to senescent fibroblasts from normal individuals. As an initial approach to determine whether gene expression is altered in premature aging syndrome fibroblasts, RNA was prepared from various cell strains and used for gel blot hybridization experiments. Although normal fibroblasts only express platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A-chain mRNA for a brief period following mitogenic stimulation, one strain of Hutchinson-Gilford (progeria) syndrome fibroblasts, AG3513, constitutively expresses PDGF A-chain mRNA and PDGF-AA homodimers. The PDGF A-chain gene does not appear to be amplified or rearranged in these fibroblasts. AG3513 progeria fibroblasts have properties characteristic of senescent cells, including an altered morphology and a diminished mitogenic response to growth promoters. The diminished response of AG3513 progeria fibroblasts to PDGF stimulation was examined in some detail. Studies using 125I-PDGF-BB, which binds with high affinity to both A- and B-type PDGF receptors, indicate that normal and AG3513 progeria fibroblasts have a similar number of PDGF receptors. Although receptor autophosphorylation occurs normally in PDGF-stimulated AG3513 progeria fibroblasts, c-fos mRNA induction does not. The senescent phenotype of AG3513 fibroblasts is probably unrelated to their constitutive PDGF A-chain gene expression; further studies are necessary in order to directly address this issue. Also, additional analysis of this progeria fibroblast strain may provide information on the control of mitogen-inducible gene expression in normal cells.

Abstract
During the past decade there have been remarkable strides in the understanding of the basic mechanism of cancer. It is now clear that there is a set of genes, known as oncogenes, that can cause cells to become malignant if their expression is altered, either by mutation or overexpression. The products of these genes include growth factors, growth factor receptors, signal tranduction proteins, and DNA binding proteins. The normal cellular counterparts of these genes play very important roles in the regulation of growth and proliferation by normal cells. Another set of genes, anti-oncogenes, also play an important role in preventing abnormal cell proliferation. The remarkable explosion of understanding of the pathophysiology of malignancy has led to a common unifying concept of malignant transformation that applies to all tumors. It is likely that these new insights will lead to improved and more specific treatments for malignant disease in the next decade.
