Abstract
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a key enzyme involved in energy metabolism. Recently, GAPDH has been suggested to have extraglycolytic functions in DNA repair, but the underlying mechanism for the GAPDH response to DNA damage remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the tyrosine kinase Src is activated under DNA damage stress and phosphorylates GAPDH at Tyr41. This phosphorylation of GAPDH is essential for its nuclear translocation and DNA repair function. Blocking the nuclear import of GAPDH by suppressing Src signaling or through a GAPDH Tyr41 mutation impairs its response to DNA damage. Nuclear GAPDH is recruited to DNA lesions and associates with DNA polymerase β (Pol β) to function in DNA repair. Nuclear GAPDH promotes Pol β polymerase activity and increases base excision repair (BER) efficiency. Furthermore, GAPDH knockdown dramatically decreases BER efficiency and sensitizes cells to DNA damaging agents. Importantly, the knockdown of GAPDH in colon cancer SW480 cells and xenograft models effectively enhances their sensitivity to the chemotherapeutic drug 5-FU. In summary, our findings provide mechanistic insight into the new function of GAPDH in DNA repair and suggest a potential therapeutic target in chemotherapy.

Abstract
Systematic assessment of tyrosine kinase-substrate relationships is fundamental to a better understanding of cellular signaling and its profound alterations in human diseases such as cancer. In human cells, such assessments are confounded by complex signaling networks, feedback loops, conditional activity, and intra-kinase redundancy. Here we address this challenge by exploiting the yeast proteome as an in vivo model substrate. We individually expressed 16 human non-receptor tyrosine kinases (NRTKs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and identified 3,279 kinase-substrate relationships involving 1,351 yeast phosphotyrosine (pY) sites. Based on the yeast data without prior information, we generated a set of linear kinase motifs and assigned ∼1,300 known human pY sites to specific NRTKs. Furthermore, experimentally defined pY sites for each individual kinase were shown to cluster within the yeast interactome network irrespective of linear motif information. We therefore applied a network inference approach to predict kinase-substrate relationships for more than 3,500 human proteins, providing a resource to advance our understanding of kinase biology.

Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a model organism that has been thoroughly exploited to understand the universal mechanisms that govern signaling pathways. Due to its ease of manipulation, humanized yeast models that successfully reproduce the function of human genes permit the development of highly efficient genetic approaches for molecular studies. Of special interest are those pathways related to human disease that are conserved from yeast to mammals. However, it is also possible to engineer yeast cells to implement functions that are naturally absent in fungi. Along the years, we have reconstructed several aspects of the mammalian phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway in S. cerevisiae. Here, we briefly review the use of S. cerevisiae as a tool to study human oncogenes and tumor suppressors, and we present an overview of the models applied to the study of the PI3K oncoproteins, the tumor suppressor PTEN, and the Akt protein kinase. We discuss the application of these models to study the basic functional properties of these signaling proteins, the functional assessment of their clinically relevant variants, and the design of feasible platforms for drug discovery.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a dimeric molecular chaperone that is essential for the folding and activation of hundreds of client proteins. Co-chaperone proteins regulate the ATP-driven Hsp90 client activation cycle. Aha-type co-chaperones are the most potent stimulators of the Hsp90 ATPase activity but the relationship between ATPase regulation and in vivo activity is poorly understood. We report here that the most strongly conserved region of Aha-type co-chaperones, the N terminal NxNNWHW motif, modulates the apparent affinity of Hsp90 for nucleotide substrates. The ability of yeast Aha-type co-chaperones to act in vivo is ablated when the N terminal NxNNWHW motif is removed. This work suggests that nucleotide exchange during the Hsp90 functional cycle may be more important than rate of catalysis.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 stabilizes and activates client proteins. Co-chaperones and post-translational modifications tightly regulate Hsp90 function and consequently lead to activation of clients. However, it is unclear whether this process occurs abruptly or gradually in the cellular context. We show that casein kinase-2 phosphorylation of the co-chaperone folliculin-interacting protein 1 (FNIP1) on priming serine-938 and subsequent relay phosphorylation on serine-939, 941, 946, and 948 promotes its gradual interaction with Hsp90. This leads to incremental inhibition of Hsp90 ATPase activity and gradual activation of both kinase and non-kinase clients. We further demonstrate that serine/threonine protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) dephosphorylates FNIP1, allowing the addition of O-GlcNAc (O-linked N-acetylglucosamine) to the priming serine-938. This process antagonizes phosphorylation of FNIP1, preventing its interaction with Hsp90, and consequently promotes FNIP1 lysine-1119 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. These findings provide a mechanism for gradual activation of the client proteins through intricate crosstalk of post-translational modifications of the co-chaperone FNIP1.

Csk-homologous kinase (Chk) is an efficient inhibitor of Src-family kinases but a poor catalyst of phosphorylation of their C-terminal regulatory tyrosine. Cell Commun Signal 2017; 15:29.

Abstract
Background C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) and Csk-homologous kinase (Chk) are the major endogenous inhibitors of Src-family kinases (SFKs). They employ two mechanisms to inhibit SFKs. First, they phosphorylate the C-terminal tail tyrosine which stabilizes SFKs in a closed inactive conformation by engaging the SH2 domain in cis. Second, they employ a non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism involving direct binding of Csk and Chk to the active forms of SFKs that is independent of phosphorylation of their C-terminal tail. Csk and Chk are co-expressed in many cell types. Contributions of the two mechanisms towards the inhibitory activity of Csk and Chk are not fully clear. Furthermore, the determinants in Csk and Chk governing their inhibition of SFKs by the non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism are yet to be defined. Methods We determined the contributions of the two mechanisms towards the inhibitory activity of Csk and Chk both in vitro and in transduced colorectal cancer cells. Specifically, we assayed the catalytic activities of Csk and Chk in phosphorylating a specific peptide substrate and a recombinant SFK member Src. We employed surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy to measure the kinetic parameters of binding of Csk, Chk and their mutants to a constitutively active mutant of the SFK member Hck. Finally, we determined the effects of expression of recombinant Chk on anchorage-independent growth and SFK catalytic activity in Chk-deficient colorectal cancer cells. Results Our results revealed Csk as a robust enzyme catalysing phosphorylation of the C-terminal tail tyrosine of SFKs but a weak non-catalytic inhibitor of SFKs. In contrast, Chk is a poor catalyst of SFK tail phosphorylation but binds SFKs with high affinity, enabling it to efficiently inhibit SFKs with the non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism both in vitro and in transduced colorectal cancer cells. Further analyses mapped some of the determinants governing this non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism of Chk to its kinase domain. Conclusions SFKs are activated by different upstream signals to adopt multiple active conformations in cells. SFKs adopting these conformations can effectively be constrained by the two complementary inhibitory mechanisms of Csk and Chk. Furthermore, the lack of this non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism accounts for SFK overactivation in the Chk-deficient colorectal cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nuclear protein Src-associated protein of 68 kDa in mitosis (Sam68) is known to bind RNA and be involved in cellular processes triggered in response to environmental stresses, including virus infection. Interestingly, Sam68 is a multi-functional protein implicated in the life cycle of retroviruses and picornaviruses and is also considered a marker of virus-induced stress granules (SGs). Recently, we demonstrated the partial redistribution of Sam68 to the cytoplasm in FMDV infected cells, its interaction with viral protease 3C(pro), and found a significant reduction in viral titers as consequence of Sam68-specific siRNA knockdowns. Despite of that, details of how it benefits FMDV remains to be elucidated. METHODS Sam68 cytoplasmic localization was examined by immunofluorescent microscopy, counterstaining with antibodies against Sam68, a viral capsid protein and markers of SGs. The relevance of RAAA motifs in the IRES was investigated using electromobility shift assays with Sam68 protein and parental and mutant FMDV RNAs. In addition, full genome WT and mutant or G-luc replicon RNAs were tested following transfection in mammalian cells. The impact of Sam68 depletion to virus protein and RNA synthesis was investigated in a cell-free system. Lastly, through co-immunoprecipitation, structural modeling, and subcellular fractionation, viral protein interactions with Sam68 were explored. RESULTS FMDV-induced cytoplasmic redistribution of Sam68 resulted in it temporarily co-localizing with SG marker: TIA-1. Mutations that disrupted FMDV IRES RAAA motifs, with putative affinity to Sam68 in domain 3 and 4 cause a reduction on the formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes with this protein and resulted in non-viable progeny viruses and replication-impaired replicons. Furthermore, depletion of Sam68 in cell-free extracts greatly diminished FMDV RNA replication, which was restored by addition of recombinant Sam68. The results here demonstrated that Sam68 specifically co-precipitates with both FMDV 3D(pol) and 3C(pro) consistent with early observations of FMDV 3C(pro)-induced cleavage of Sam68. CONCLUSION We have found that Sam68 is a specific binding partner for FMDV non-structural proteins 3C(pro) and 3D(pol) and showed that mutations at RAAA motifs in IRES domains 3 and 4 cause a decrease in Sam68 affinity to these RNA elements and rendered the mutant RNA non-viable. Interestingly, in FMDV infected cells re-localized Sam68 was transiently detected along with SG markers in the cytoplasm. These results support the importance of Sam68 as a host factor co-opted by FMDV during infection and demonstrate that Sam68 interact with both, FMDV RNA motifs in the IRES and viral non-structural proteins 3C(pro) and 3D(pol).

Keenan S, Lewis PA, Wetherill SJ, Dunning CJR, Evans GJO. The N2-Src neuronal splice variant of C-Src has altered SH3 domain ligand specificity and a higher constitutive activity than N1-Src. FEBS Lett 2015; 589:1995-2000. [PMID: 26026271 PMCID: PMC4509517 DOI: 10.1016/j.febslet.2015.05.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2014] [Revised: 03/18/2015] [Accepted: 05/19/2015] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
N2-Src is a poorly understood neuronal splice variant of the ubiquitous C-Src tyrosine kinase, containing a 17 amino acid insert in its Src homology 3 (SH3) domain. To characterise the properties of N2-Src we directly compared its SH3 domain specificity and kinase activity with C- and N1-Src in vitro. N2- and N1-Src had a similar low affinity for the phosphorylation of substrates containing canonical C-Src SH3 ligands and synaptophysin, an established neuronal substrate for C-Src. N2-Src also had a higher basal kinase activity than N1- and C-Src in vitro and in cells, which could be explained by weakened intramolecular interactions. Therefore, N2-Src is a highly active kinase that is likely to phosphorylate alternative substrates to C-Src in the brain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HIV-1 Nef is a viral accessory protein critical for AIDS progression. Nef lacks intrinsic catalytic activity and binds multiple host cell signaling proteins, including Hck and other Src-family tyrosine kinases. Nef binding induces constitutive Hck activation that may contribute to HIV pathogenesis by promoting viral infectivity, replication and downregulation of cell-surface MHC-I molecules. In this study, we developed a yeast-based phenotypic screen to identify small molecules that inhibit the Nef-Hck complex. RESULTS Nef-Hck interaction was faithfully reconstituted in yeast cells, resulting in kinase activation and growth arrest. Yeast cells expressing the Nef-Hck complex were used to screen a library of small heterocyclic compounds for their ability to rescue growth inhibition. The screen identified a dihydrobenzo-1,4-dioxin-substituted analog of 2-quinoxalinyl-3-aminobenzene-sulfonamide (DQBS) as a potent inhibitor of Nef-dependent HIV-1 replication and MHC-I downregulation in T-cells. Docking studies predicted direct binding of DQBS to Nef which was confirmed in differential scanning fluorimetry assays with recombinant purified Nef protein. DQBS also potently inhibited the replication of HIV-1 NL4-3 chimeras expressing Nef alleles representative of all M-group HIV-1 clades. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate the utility of a yeast-based growth reversion assay for the identification of small molecule Nef antagonists. Inhibitors of Nef function discovered with this assay, such as DQBS, may complement the activity of current antiretroviral therapies by enabling immune recognition of HIV-infected cells through the rescue of cell surface MHC-I.

Abstract
The BCR-ABL1 oncogene is a tyrosine kinase that activates many signaling pathways, resulting in the induction of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Kinase inhibitors, such as imatinib, have been developed for the treatment of CML; however, the terminal, blast crisis phase of the disease remains a clinical challenge. Blast crisis CML is difficult to treat due to resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, increased genomic instability and acquired secondary mutations. Our recent studies uncovered a role for Fyn in promoting BCR-ABL1 mediated cell growth and sensitivity to imatinib. Here we demonstrate that Fyn contributes to BCR-ABL1 induced genomic instability, a feature of blast crisis CML. Bone marrow cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from Fyn knockout mice transduced with BCR-ABL1 display slowed growth and clonogenic potential as compared to Fyn wild-type BCR-ABL1 expressing counterparts. K562 cells overexpressing constitutively active Fyn kinase were larger in size and displayed an accumulation of genomic abnormalities such as chromosomal aberrations and polyploidy. Importantly, loss of Fyn protected mouse embryonic fibroblast cells from increased number of chromosomal aberrations and fragments induced by BCR-ABL1. Together, these results reveal a novel role for Fyn in regulating events required for genomic maintenance and suggest that Fyn kinase activity plays a role in the progression of CML to blast crisis.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies, and is also the fourth most common cancer worldwide with around 700,000 new cases each year. Currently, first line chemotherapeutic drugs used for HCC include fluorouracil, cisplatin, doxorubicin, paclitaxel and mitomycin, but most of these are non-selective cytotoxic molecules with significant side effects. Sorafenib is the only approved targeted therapy by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for HCC treatment, but patients suffer from various kinds of adverse effects, including hypertension. The signal-transducer-and-activator-of-transcription 3 (STAT3) protein, one of the members of STATs transcription factor family, has been implicated in signal transduction by different cytokines, growth factors and oncogenes. In normal cells, STAT3 activation is tightly controlled to prevent dysregulated gene transcription, whereas constitutively activated STAT3 plays an important role in tumorigenesis through the upregulation of genes involved in anti-apoptosis, proliferation and angiogenesis. Thus, pharmacologically safe and effective agents that can block STAT3 activation have the potential both for the prevention and treatment of HCC. In the present review, we discuss the possible role of STAT3 signaling cascade and its interacting partners in the initiation of HCC and also analyze the role of various STAT3 regulated genes in HCC progression, inflammation, survival, invasion and angiogenesis.

Recent crystal structures of fragments of two representatives reveal a compact am their Src-homology 3 (SH3), SH2 and catalytic domai embodies an unexpected mechanism of regulation. Th. the enzymatic activity of Src is controlled by intramol associations between the SH2 domain and C-tail and SH3 domain and a surprising internal target. The stn highlight a mechanism by which substrates can comp internal sequences for binding to the SH3 and SH2 do thereby stimulating kinase activity.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an essential molecular chaperone whose activity is regulated not only by cochaperones but also by distinct posttranslational modifications. We report here that casein kinase 2 phosphorylates a conserved threonine residue (T22) in α helix-1 of the yeast Hsp90 N-domain both in vitro and in vivo. This α helix participates in a hydrophobic interaction with the catalytic loop in Hsp90's middle domain, helping to stabilize the chaperone's ATPase-competent state. Phosphomimetic mutation of this residue alters Hsp90 ATPase activity and chaperone function and impacts interaction with the cochaperones Aha1 and Cdc37. Overexpression of Aha1 stimulates the ATPase activity, restores cochaperone interactions, and compensates for the functional defects of these Hsp90 mutants.

Abstract
Src family kinases (SFKs) are traditionally purified from eukaryotic expression systems. These expression systems can be costly, yield heterogeneously phosphorylated protein samples and present difficulties when metabolic labeling is required for structural studies. Therefore, many attempts have been made to develop bacterial purification systems for SFKs. So far, high-yield bacterial expression systems have only been achieved for SFK kinase domains or for inactive mutants of constructs containing the regulatory SH3 and SH2 domains, but not for their active forms. Herein described is a bacterial expression system for the wild type, active SFK Hck containing SH3, SH2 and kinase domains. Hck plays an important role in phagocyte function as well as the etiology of chronic myeloid leukemia as Hck is an interaction partner of Bcr-Abl. Structural studies of Hck are essential to fully understand the signaling processes involved in host defense and leukemogenesis. Successful bacterial expression of Hck was possible by a dual strategy: (1) co-expression with YopH phosphatase in order to control host toxicity, and (2) expression in a bacterial strain that is RNase E deficient, which dramatically increased overall expression levels. The expressed Hck construct is unphosphorylated and appears to be in an open conformation. Bacterially expressed Hck is capable of autophosphorylation, phosphorylates substrate at rates comparable to insect cell expressed Hck, and can be inhibited by staurosporine and Csk.

Abstract
The Src family of protein kinases (SFKs) mediates mitogenic signal transduction, and constitutive SFK activation is associated with tumorigenesis. To prevent constitutive SFK activation, the catalytic activity of SFKs in normal mammalian cells is suppressed mainly by two inhibitors called C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) and CSK-homologous kinase (CHK), which inactivate SFKs by phosphorylating a consensus tyrosine near the C terminus of SFKs (Y(T)). The phosphorylated Y(T) intramolecularly binds to the SH2 domain of SFKs. This interaction, known as pY(T)/SH2 interaction, together with binding between the SH2 kinase linker and the SH3 domain of SFKs (linker/SH3 interaction) stabilizes SFKs in a "closed" inactive conformation. We previously discovered an alternative mechanism CHK employs to inhibit SFKs. This mechanism, referred to as the non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism, involves tight binding of CHK to SFKs; the binding alone is sufficient to inhibit SFKs. Herein, we constructed multiple active conformations of an SFK member, Hck, by systematically disrupting the two inhibitory interactions. We found that CHK employs the non-catalytic mechanism to inactivate these active conformations of Hck. However, CHK does not bind Hck when it adopts the inactive conformation in which both inhibitory interactions are intact. These data indicate that binding of CHK to SFKs via the non-catalytic mechanism is governed by the conformations of SFKs. Although CSK is also an inhibitor of SFKs, it does not inhibit SFKs by a similar non-catalytic mechanism. Thus, the non-catalytic inhibitory mechanism is a unique property of CHK that allows it to down-regulate multiple active conformations of SFKs.

Abstract
When cells are treated with Ca(2+) and Ca(2+)-ionophore, c-Src kinase activity increases, whereas c-Yes kinase activity decreases. This opposite modulation can be reproduced in an in vitro reconstitution assay and is dependent on Ca(2+) and on soluble factors present in cell lysates. Since c-Src and c-Yes share a high degree of homology, with the exception of their N-terminal "unique" domains, their activity was thought to be coordinately regulated. To assess the mechanism of regulation we generated stable cell lines expressing eight different constructs containing wild type c-Src and c-Yes, as well as swaps of the unique domain alone, unique and Src homology 3 (SH3) domains together and the SH3 domain alone. Swapping of the unique domains was not sufficient to reverse the regulation of the chimeric molecules. On the other hand, chimeras containing swaps of the unique plus the SH3 domains displayed reverse regulation, implicating both domains in the regulation of kinase activity by Ca(2+). To rule out the participation of the unique domain, we used chimeric molecules with swapped SH3 domains only and found that the SH3 domain is necessary and sufficient to confer Ca(2+)-mediated regulation of Src and Yes tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
The Src nonreceptor tyrosine kinase plays an important role in multiple signalling pathways that regulate several cellular functions including proliferation, differentiation and transformation. The activity of Src is tightly regulated in vivo and can be modulated by interactions of its SH2 and SH3 domains with high-affinity ligands. APRO4 (anti-proliferative 4) belongs to a new antiproliferative gene family involved in the negative control of the cell cycle. This report shows that APRO4 associates with Src via its C-terminal proline-rich domain, and downregulates Src kinase activity. Moreover, overexpression of APRO4 leads to inhibition of neurite outgrowth and Ras/MAP kinase signalling in PC12 cells. Furthermore, the kinetics of endogenous Src inactivation correlates with an increase in endogenous APRO4 co-immunoprecipitation in FGF-stimulated PC12 cells. Finally, downregulation of endogenous APRO4 by expression of antisense RNA induces the activation of Src and spontaneous formation of neurites in PC12 cells. Therefore, by controlling the basal threshold of Src activity, APRO4 constitutes an important negative regulatory mechanism for Src-mediated signalling.

Abstract
Physical, genetic, and chemical-genetic interactions centered on the conserved chaperone Hsp90 were mapped at high resolution in yeast using systematic proteomic and genomic methods. Physical interactions were identified using genome-wide two hybrid screens combined with large-scale affinity purification of Hsp90-containing protein complexes. Genetic interactions were uncovered using synthetic genetic array technology and by a microarray-based chemical-genetic screen of a set of about 4700 viable yeast gene deletion mutants for hypersensitivity to the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin. An extended network, consisting of 198 putative physical interactions and 451 putative genetic and chemical-genetic interactions, was found to connect Hsp90 to cofactors and substrates involved in a wide range of cellular functions. Two novel Hsp90 cofactors, Tah1 (YCR060W) and Pih1 (YHR034C), were also identified. These cofactors interact physically and functionally with the conserved AAA(+)-type DNA helicases Rvb1/Rvb2, which are key components of several chromatin remodeling factors, thereby linking Hsp90 to epigenetic gene regulation.

Abstract
We have previously observed that collagen IV regulates Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell spreading and migration via Src kinase and stimulates Src-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of p130cas. We observed that collagen IV also stimulated Src-dependent phosphorylation of both paxillin Tyr31 and paxillin Tyr118. Caco-2 transfection with paxillin or p130cas siRNAs inhibited expression of these proteins by more than 90% for at least 5 days after transfection. Although p130cas siRNA inhibited cell spreading on collagen IV by 33%, three different paxillin siRNAs did not inhibit cell spreading. p130cas siRNA did not affect Src Tyr416 or Src Tyr527 phosphorylation, FAK Tyr397 phosphorylation, or Src-dependent phosphorylation of FAK Tyr925, suggesting that p130cas did not inhibit cell spreading by altering FAK or Src activity. Rat p130cas expression after siRNA knock-out of endogenous human p130cas in Caco-2 cells reduced cell spreading inhibition by 71%. In contrast, expression of rat p130cas from which the Src-phosphorylated substrate domain was deleted did not rescue siRNA inhibition of cell spreading. Combined treatment with siRNAs to Crk and CrkL, which bind to the p130cas substrate domain, inhibited cell spreading by 54%. Both p130cas siRNA and the combined Crk/CrkL siRNAs strongly inhibited (52 and 46% inhibition, respectively) Caco-2 sheet migration on collagen IV and noticeably inhibited lamellipodial extension, whereas paxillin siRNA only inhibited migration by 18% and did not noticeably affect lamellipodial extension. These results suggest that Src may regulate Caco-2 migration on collagen IV via both p130cas and paxillin but that Src phosphorylation of p130cas is more important for this process.

Structural data suggest that important hinge-bending motions of the two lobes that shape the catalytic domain of Src tyrosine kinase, together with reorganization of an alpha helix (helix C), are needed for the activation loop to adopt the catalytically competent conformation. The phosphorylation of a Tyr residue (Tyr-416) in this loop also seems to be essential for enzyme activation. However, no information is available about the dynamics of this activation process. By comparing the inactive and active forms of the catalytic domains of Src and Lck, another member of the Src family, we first identified a short stretch that can act as a hinge for the interlobe motion. The opening of the lobes was then simulated using a targeted molecular dynamics approach. The results obtained suggested that pulling the two lobes apart is not enough to induce the required conformational change in the activation loop. Rather unexpectedly, however, swinging of the lobes situated Tyr-416 in a suitable position for intramolecular autophosphorylation, and further simulation of Tyr-416-phosphorylated Src in the presence of ADP did then result in a conformational change that placed the activation loop in a position similar to that found in the active open conformation of Lck. Taken together, our results establish a physical link between intramolecular autophosphorylation and loop activation.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a functionally defined set of proteins which assist the structure formation of proteins in vivo. Without certain protective mechanisms, such as binding nascent polypeptide chains by molecular chaperones, cellular protein concentrations would lead to misfolding and aggregation. In the mammalian system, the molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 are involved in the folding and maturation of key regulatory proteins, like steroid hormone receptors, transcription factors, and kinases, some of which are involved in cancer progression. Hsp70 and Hsp90 form a multichaperone complex, in which both are connected by a third protein called Hop. The connection of and the interplay between the two chaperone machineries is of crucial importance for cell viability. This review provides a detailed view of the Hsp70 and Hsp90 machineries, their cofactors and their mode of regulation. It summarizes the current knowledge in the field, including the ATP-dependent regulation of the Hsp70/Hsp90 multichaperone cycle and elucidates the complex interplay and their synergistic interaction.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound found in grapes and other fruits, has been reported to inhibit angiogenesis with an as yet elusive mechanism. Here, we investigate the detailed mechanism by which resveratrol inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenic effects in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs). Exposure of HUVECs to 1 to 2.5 muM resveratrol significantly blocked VEGF-mediated migration and tube formation but not cell proliferation. Under the same concentrations, resveratrol failed to affect VEGF-stimulated activation of VEGF receptor, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and Akt. Of interest, resveratrol, at the dose of 1 or 2.5 muM, effectively abrogated VEGF-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and its complex partner, beta-catenin. This inhibitory effect of resveratrol reflected on the retention of VE-cadherin at cell-cell contacts as demonstrated by immunofluorescence. Src kinase assay showed that VEGF-induced endogenous Src kinase activation was strongly inhibited by 1 and 2.5 muM resveratrol. Supportively, inhibition of Src activity by overexpression of Csk resulted in attenuation of the tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin and endothelial cell (EC) tube formation. Again, transfection with v-Src, an active form of Src, could reverse resveratrol inhibition of VE-cadherin tyrosine phosphorylation and EC tube formation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been shown to be involved in VE-cadherin phosphorylation and its related functions. Flow cytometric analysis showed that VEGF stimulated an evident increase of peroxide, which was strongly attenuated by resveratrol. In addition, antioxidant N-acetyl-cysteine was demonstrated to strongly inhibit VEGF-mediated Src activation, VE-cadherin tyrosine phosphorylation, and HUVEC tube formation. Together, our data suggest that resveratrol inhibition of VEGF-induced angiogenesis was mediated by disruption of ROS-dependent Src kinase activation and the subsequent VE-cadherin tyrosine phosphorylation.

Abstract
IGF-I stimulates both proliferation and differentiation of adipocyte-precursor cells, preadipocytes in vivo and in vitro. We have previously shown that IGF-I stimulates proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through activation of MAPK and MAPK activation by IGF-I is mediated through the Src family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. In addition, we have shown that when 3T3-L1 cells reach growth arrest and are stimulated to differentiate, IGF-I can no longer activate the MAPK pathway. We hypothesized that the loss of IGF-I signaling to MAPK in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells is due to loss of IGF-I activation of Src family kinases. We measured c-Src kinase activity in cell lysates from proliferating, growth-arrested and differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. Src activity increased 2- to 4-fold in IGF-I-stimulated proliferating cells; however, IGF-I had a marginal affect on Src activity in growth-arrested cells and inhibited Src activity localized at the membrane in differentiating cells. C-terminal Src kinase (CSK), a ubiquitously expressed nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, negatively regulates the Src family kinases by phosphorylation of the Src C-terminal tyrosine. IGF-I decreased phosphorylation of the Src C-terminal tyrosine in proliferating cells and increased phosphorylation of this site in differentiating cells. IGF-I stimulated CSK kinase activity 2-fold in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells. An association between CSK and c-Src was detected by immunoprecipitation following IGF-I stimulation of differentiating but not proliferating 3T3-L1 cells. These results suggest that the loss of IGF-I downstream mitogenic signaling in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells is due to a change in IGF-I activation of c-Src and CSK may mediate the inactivation of c-Src by IGF-I in 3T3-L1 adipogenesis.

Abstract
Activation of client proteins by the Hsp90 molecular chaperone is dependent on binding and hydrolysis of ATP, which drives a molecular clamp via transient dimerization of the N-terminal domains. The crystal structure of the middle segment of yeast Hsp90 reveals considerable evolutionary divergence from the equivalent regions of other GHKL protein family members such as MutL and GyrB, including an additional domain of new fold. Using the known structure of the N-terminal nucleotide binding domain, a model for the Hsp90 dimer has been constructed. From this structure, residues implicated in the ATPase-coupled conformational cycle and in interactions with client proteins and the activating cochaperone Aha1 have been identified, and their roles functionally characterized in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Client protein activation by Hsp90 involves a plethora of cochaperones whose roles are poorly defined. A ubiquitous family of stress-regulated proteins have been identified (Aha1, activator of Hsp90 ATPase) that bind directly to Hsp90 and are required for the in vivo Hsp90-dependent activation of clients such as v-Src, implicating them as cochaperones of the Hsp90 system. In vitro, Aha1 and its shorter homolog, Hch1, stimulate the inherent ATPase activity of yeast and human Hsp90. The identification of these Hsp90 cochaperone activators adds to the complex roles of cochaperones in regulating the ATPase-coupled conformational changes of the Hsp90 chaperone cycle.

Abstract
The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src is important for many aspects of cell physiology. The viral src gene was the first retroviral oncogene to be identified, and its cellular counterpart was the first proto-oncogene to be discovered in the vertebrate genome. Src has been important, not only as an object of study in itself, but also as an entry point into the molecular genetics of cancer.

Abstract
We have identified a gene encoding a member of the Csk family of non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) in the early-diverging metazoan Hydra. In situ hybridization analysis of the distribution of RNA from the Hydra Csk gene indicates that it is expressed in most of the epithelial cells of the adult polyp and in gametogenic cells. Comparison of the expression pattern of Hydra Csk with that of STK, the Hydra Src gene orthologue, reveals that the two genes are largely co-expressed. Such co-expression is consistent with a role for Hydra Csk in regulation of STK activity. This possibility was tested directly by coexpressing Hydra Csk with STK in yeast. Co-expression suppressed the growth inhibition seen when STK alone is expressed in yeast. Suppression was dependent on the presence of the putative regulatory tyrosine in the carboxyl-terminal tail of STK. Phosphotyrosine immunoblot analysis confirmed that expression of Csk resulted in suppression of STK kinase activity. Taken together these data indicate that the regulatory circuit involving Src and Csk PTKs was established prior to the divergence of the phylum Cnidaria from the rest of the metazoans.

Abstract
During pancreatic tumorigenesis, the equilibrium between cell survival and cell death is altered, allowing aggressive neoplasia and resistance to radiation and chemotherapy. Local oxidative stress is one mechanism regulating programmed cell death and growth and may contribute to both tumor progression and suppression. Our recent in situ immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that levels of total nitrotyrosine, a footprint of the reactive nitrogen species peroxynitrite, are elevated in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas. In this study, quantitative HPLC-EC techniques demonstrated a 21- to 97-fold increase in the overall levels of nitrotyrosine of human pancreatic tumor extracts compared to normal pancreatic extracts. Western blot analysis of human pancreatic tumor extracts showed that tyrosine nitration was restricted to a few specific proteins. Immunoprecipitation coupled with Western analysis identified c-Src tyrosine kinase as a target of both tyrosine nitration and tyrosine phosphorylation. Peroxynitrite treatment of human pancreatic carcinoma cells in vitro resulted in increased tyrosine nitration and tyrosine phosphorylation of c-Src kinase, increased (>2-fold) c-Src kinase activity, and increased association between c-Src kinase and its downstream substrate cortactin. Collectively, these observations suggest that peroxynitrite-mediated tyrosine nitration and tyrosine phosphorylation of c-Src kinase may lead to enhanced tyrosine kinase signaling observed during pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma growth and metastasis.

Abstract
The Src family tyrosine kinase Hck possesses two phosphorylation sites, Tyr(527) and Tyr(416), that affect the catalytic activity in opposite ways. When phosphorylated, Tyr(527) and residues C-terminal to it are involved in an inhibitory intramolecular interaction with the SH2 domain. However, this sequence does not conform to the sequence of the high affinity SH2 ligand, pYEEI. We mutated this sequence to YEEI and show that this mutant form of Hck cannot be activated by exogenous SH2 ligands. The SH3 domain of Hck is also involved in an inhibitory interaction with the catalytic domain. The SH3 ligand Nef binds to and activates YEEI-Hck mutant in a similar manner to wild-type Hck, indicating that disrupting the SH3 interaction overrides the strengthened SH2 interaction. The other phosphorylation site, Tyr(416), is the autophosphorylation site in the activation loop. Phosphorylation of Tyr(416) is required for Hck activation. We mutated this residue to alanine and characterized its catalytic activity. The Y416A mutant shows a higher K(m) value for peptide and a lower V(max) than autophosphorylated wild-type Hck. We also present evidence for cross-talk between the activation loop and the intramolecular binding of the SH2 and SH3 domains.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is a regulatory component of some key signalling proteins in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. For some of these functions, its interaction with co-chaperones is required. Limited proteolysis defined stable folded units of Hsp90. Both an N-terminal (N210) and a C-terminal (262C) fragment interact with non-native substrate proteins in vitro, but with different specificity and ATP dependence. Here, we analysed the functional properties of these Hsp90 fragments in vivo and in vitro. We determined their influence on the general viability and cell growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Expression of N210 or 262C resulted in a dominant-negative phenotype in several yeast strains tested. Their expression was not toxic, but inhibited cell growth. Further, both were unable to restore viability to Hsp90-depleted cells. In addition, N210 and 262C influence the maturation of Hsp90 substrates, such as the glucocorticoid receptor and pp60v-Src kinase. Specifically, 262C forms partially active chaperone complexes, leading to an arrest of the chaperoned substrate at a certain stage of its maturation cycle. This demonstrates the requirement of a sophisticated and cofactor-regulated interplay between N- and C-terminal activities for Hsp90 function in vivo.

Abstract
Biochemical and structural studies of Src and related kinases demonstrate that two intramolecular interactions suppress kinase activity. These interactions involve binding of the SH2 domain to a phosphotyrosine residue in the C-terminal tail and association of the SH3 domain with a polyproline type II helix formed by amino acids linking the SH2 and kinase domains. Recent studies have shown that high affinity interaction of the SH3 domain of Hck with the human immunodeficiency virus type I Nef protein activates Hck tyrosine kinase and biological activities, suggesting a mechanism that involves disruption of the SH3-linker interaction. To test the role of this interaction in the regulation of Hck kinase activity in living cells, we substituted alanines for prolines 225 and 228 in the linker region and observed that the resulting mutant (Hck-2PA) demonstrated strong transforming activity in a Rat-2 fibroblast focus-forming assay. Hck-2PA also exhibited elevated tyrosine kinase activity in terms of autophosphorylation, endogenous substrate phosphorylation, and in an in vitro kinase assay. The transforming and kinase activities of Hck-2PA were remarkably similar to those observed with a Hck mutant activated by Phe substitution of the conserved tail Tyr residue and with wild-type Hck following co-expression with human immunodeficiency virus Nef. Introduction of the 2PA and tail mutations into a single Hck expression construct did not increase kinase or transforming activity relative to the individual mutations. These data provide new evidence that SH3-linker interaction may represent the dominant mechanism controlling Hck tyrosine kinase activity in vivo.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the kinase domain of C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) has been determined by molecular replacement, co-complexed with the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine (crystals belong to the space group P21212 with a=44.5 A, b=120.6 A, c=48.3 A). The final model of CSK has been refined to an R-factor of 19.9 % (Rfree=28.7 %) at 2.4 A resolution. The structure consists of a small, N-terminal lobe made up mostly of a beta-sheet, and a larger C-terminal lobe made up mostly of alpha-helices. The structure reveals atomic details of interactions with staurosporine, which binds in a deep cleft between the lobes. The polypeptide chain fold of CSK is most similar to c-Src, Hck and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 kinase (FGFR1K) and most dissimilar to insulin receptor kinase (IRK). Interactions between the N and C-terminal lobe are mediated by the bound staurosporine molecule and by hydrogen bonds. In addition, there are several water molecules forming lobe-bridging hydrogen bonds, which may be important for maintaining the catalytic integrity of the kinase. Furthermore, the conserved Lys328 and Glu267 residues utilise water in the formation of a molecular pivot which is essential in allowing relative movement of the N and C-terminal lobes. An analysis of the residues around the ATP-binding site reveals structural differences with other protein tyrosine kinases. Most notable of these are different orientations of the conserved residues Asp332 and Phe333, suggesting that inhibitor binding proceeds via an induced fit. These structural observations have implications for understanding protein tyrosine kinase catalytic mechanisms and for the design of ATP-mimicking inhibitors of protein kinases.

Abstract
Intramolecular interactions between the Src homology domains (SH2 and SH3) and the catalytic domains of Src family kinases result in repression of catalytic activity. The crystal structure of the Src family kinase Hck, with its regulatory domains intact, has been solved. It predicts that a conserved residue, Trp260, at the end of the linker between the SH2 and the catalytic domains plays an important role in regulation by the SH3 and SH2 domains. We have mutated this residue and compared the activities of C-terminally phosphorylated wild type Hck and W260A Hck. The W260A mutant has a higher specific activity than wild type Hck. The W260A mutant requires autophosphorylation at Tyr416 for full activity, but it is not activated by ligand binding to the SH3 or SH2 domains. This mutation also changes the accessibility of the SH2 and SH3 domains to their cognate peptide ligands. Our results indicate that Trp260 plays a critical role in the coupling of the regulatory domains to the catalytic domain, as well as in positioning the ligand binding surfaces.

Abstract
The roles of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in processes such as cell growth and adhesion are poorly understood. To explore the ability of specific PTPs to regulate cell signaling pathways initiated by stimulation of growth factor receptors, we expressed the receptor-like PTP, PTPalpha, in A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells. These cells express high levels of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and proliferate in response to the autocrine production of transforming growth factor-alpha. Conversely, EGF stimulation of A431 cells in vitro leads to growth inhibition and triggers the rapid detachment of these cells from the substratum. Although PTPalpha expression did not alter the growth characteristics of either unstimulated or EGF-stimulated cells, this phosphatase was associated with increased cell-substratum adhesion. Furthermore, PTPalpha-expressing A431 cells were strikingly resistant to EGF-induced cell rounding. Overexpression of PTPalpha in A431 cells was associated with the dephosphorylation/activation of specific Src family kinases, suggesting a potential mechanism for the observed alteration in A431 cell-substratum adhesion. Src kinase activation was dependent on the D1 catalytic subunit of PTPalpha, and there was evidence of association between PTPalpha and Src kinase(s). PTPalpha expression also led to increased association of Src kinase with the integrin-associated focal adhesion kinase, pp125(FAK). In addition, paxillin, a Src and/or pp125(FAK) substrate, displayed increased levels of tyrosine phosphorylation in PTPalpha-expressing cells and was associated with elevated amounts of Csk. In view of these alterations in focal adhesion-associated molecules in PTPalpha-expressing A431 cells, as well as the changes in adhesion demonstrated by these cells, we propose that PTPalpha may have a role in regulating cell-substratum adhesion.

Abstract
Csk is a cellular protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) that has been shown to specifically regulate the activity of Src kinase family members by phosphorylation of a carboxy-terminal tyrosine residue. The molecular mechanisms controlling Csk regulation and its substrate specificity have not been elucidated. Here we report a novel type of overlay kinase assay that allows to probe for Csk-mediated phosphorylation of cellular substrates separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose filters. Most of the cell lines analyzed with this method revealed only a few potential Csk substrates. However, an increased number of Csk substrates was detected in NIH3T3 cells expressing a constitutively activated form of the Src kinase Lck or in PC12 and NIH3T3 cells that had been treated with pervanadate. These cells all display an increased level of cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation which led to the conclusion that Csk preferentially phosphorylates tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. To verify this hypothesis we analyzed Csk-mediated phosphorylation of recombinant Lck, a known Csk substrate. Results demonstrated that autophosphorylation of Lck (at Tyr394) facilitates Csk-mediated phosphorylation of Lck at its regulatory site (Tyr505). Subsequent peptide binding studies revealed that Csk can bind to a peptide corresponding to the Lck-autophosphorylation site only when it is phosphorylated. These findings suggest that autophosphorylation of Lck at Tyr394 triggers an interaction with Csk and thereby facilitates subsequent phosphorylation and inactivation of Lck. The phosphorylation of other cellular Csk substrates may be regulated by a similar mechanism.

Abstract
Src homology 2 (SH2) and SH3 domains are abundant protein and peptide binding modules in signalling molecules. Certain SH2 and SH3 domains have been shown to form functional and physical interactions. The structural basis of dimer formation was studied by docking three dimensional structures of the domains and by analysing structural and functional properties of the dimers. The experimentally verified dimers were noticed to have very large buried surfaces, extensive hydrogen bonding networks, and complementary surfaces, properties which are characteristic for protein-protein interactions. The number of hydrogen bonds between the domains is exceptionally high for interacting protein pairs. Also the buried accessible surface is large, especially when considering the small size of the domains. The dimer results were used to describe mutation information in structural terms and to discuss regulation of protein tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
Intramolecular SH2 and SH3 interactions mediate enzymatic repression of the Src kinases. One mechanism of activation is disruption of these interactions by the formation of higher affinity SH2 and SH3 interactions with specific ligands. We show that a consensus Src SH3-binding site residing upstream of the Src SH2-binding site in FAK can function as a ligand for the Src SH3 domain. Surface plasmon resonance experiments indicate that a FAK peptide containing both the Src SH2- and SH3-binding sites exhibits increased affinity for Src. Furthermore, the presence of both sites in vitro more potently activates c-Src. A FAK mutant (FAKPro-2) with substitutions destroying the SH3-binding site shows reduced binding to Src in vivo. This mutation also reduces Src-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation on the mutant itself and downstream substrates, such as paxillin. These observations suggest that an SH3-mediated interaction between Src-like kinases and FAK may be important for complex formation and downstream signaling in vivo.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinases of the Src family are regulated via their Src homology 2 (SH2) and SH3 domains. The Nef protein of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) has previously been shown to bind with high affinity and specificity in vitro to the SH3 domain of Hck, a Src family member expressed primarily in myeloid cells. However, the effect of Nef on Hck activity in living cells is unknown. Here we show that Rat-2 fibroblasts co-expressing Hck and Nef rapidly developed transformed foci, whereas control cells expressing either protein alone did not. Nef formed a stable complex with Hck and stimulated its tyrosine kinase activity in vivo. Mutagenesis of the Nef proline-rich motif essential for SH3 binding completely blocked complex formation, kinase activation, and transformation, indicating that the Nef SH3-binding function is required for its effects on Hck. These results provide direct evidence that SH3 engagement is sufficient to activate a Src family kinase in vivo and suggest that Hck may be activated by Nef in HIV-infected macrophages.

Abstract
During IFN alpha stimulation, p59(fyn) associates with the Type I IFNR-associated Tyk-2 kinase in several human hematopoietic cell lines in vivo. This interaction is direct, and is mediated by the SH2 domain in p59(fyn), as shown by binding studies using glutathione-S-transferase fusion proteins and far western blots. Furthermore, in response to IFN alpha-treatment of cells, the SH2 domain of Fyn interacts with the Tyk-2-associated c-cbl proto-oncogene product. In a similar manner, during IFN gamma stimulation, p59(fyn) associates via its SH2 domain with the activated form of the IFN gamma-dependent Jak-2 kinase. These data suggest that p59(fyn) is a common element in IFN alpha and IFN gamma signaling, and is selectively engaged by the Type I or II IFN receptors via specific interactions with distinct Jak kinases.

Abstract
An eicosapeptide encompassing the C-terminal tail of c-Src (Tyr527) which is conserved in most Src-related protein kinases, is phosphorylated by C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) and by the two Src-related protein kinases c-Fgr and Lyn, with similar kinetic constants. Two related peptides reproducing the C-terminal segments of c-Src mutants defective in CSK phosphorylation [MacAuley, A., Okada, M., Nada, S., Nakagawa, H. & Cooper, J. A. (1993) Oncogene 8, 117-124] AFLEDSCTGTEPLYQRGENL (mutant number 28) and AFLEDNFTGTKPQYHPGENL (mutant number 29), proved a better and a much worse substrates, respectively than the wild-type peptide, with either CSK or the two Src kinases. By changing individual residues in the best peptide substrate, it was shown that the main element responsible for its improved phosphorylation is leucine at position -1 (instead of glutamine), while lysine at position -3 (instead of glutamate) has a detrimental effect, possibly accounting for the negligible phosphorylation of peptide derived from mutant number 29. By contrast to most peptide substrates, including the Src C-terminal peptides, which exhibit relatively high K(m) values, a polyoma-virus-middle-T-antigen-(mT)-derived peptide with tyrosine embedded in a highly hydrophobic sequence (EEEPQFEEIPIYLELLP) exhibits with CSK a quite low K(m) value (63 microM). Consistent with this, the optimal sequence selected by CSK in an oriented peptide library is XXXIYMFFF. This is different from sequences selected by Lyn (DEEIYEELX) and c-Fgr (XEEIYGIFF), although they all share a high selection for a hydrophobic residue at n-1. In sharp contrast, TPKIIB/p38syk, related to the catalytic domain of p72syk, selects acidic residues at nearly all positions, n-1 included. These data support the notion that the features determining the specific phosphorylation of the C-terminal tyrosine residue of Src do not reside in the primary structure surrounding the target tyrosine. They also show that this site does not entirely fulfil the optimal consensus sequence recognized by CSK, disclosing the possibility that as yet unrecognized CSK targets structurally unrelated to the C-terminal tyrosine residue of Src kinases may exist.

Abstract
Hematopoietic lineage cell-specific HS1 protein is converted into a substrate for c-Fgr by previous Syk-mediated phosphorylation, at site(s) that bind to the SH2 domain of c-Fgr [Ruzzene, M., Brunati, A. M., Marin, O., Donella-Deana, A. & Pinna, L. A. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 5327-5332]. Here we show that a phosphopeptide derived from one such site, HS1-(320-329)-phosphopeptide (PEGDYpEEVLE), enhances up to tenfold, in a dose-dependent manner, the catalytic activity of c-Fgr either assayed with peptide substrates or evaluated as intermolecular autophosphorylation of c-Fgr itself. The dephosphorylated HS1-(320-329)-peptide is totally ineffective, while the stimulatory efficacy of other phosphopeptides derived from the polyoma virus middle T antigen-(393-402) sequence, c-Src, and c-Fgr autophosphorylation sites, and the C-terminal c-Src site (Tyr527) is variable and correlates reasonably well with the predicted affinity for the c-Fgr SH2 domain. Stimulation of c-Fgr catalytic activity is also promoted by the full-length HS1 protein, previously tyrosine phosphorylated by Syk, and is accounted for by an increased Vmax while the Km values are unchanged. If the normal activator of c-Fgr kinase, Mg2+, is replaced by Mn2+, stimulation by HS1-(320-329)-phosphopeptide is still observable with peptide substrates, while autophosphorylation is, in contrast, inhibited by the phosphopeptide. These findings, in conjunction with the ability of previously autophosphorylated c-Fgr to be stimulated by HS1-(320-329)-phosphopeptide, support the view that stimulation of c-Fgr by phosphopeptide is not or is not entirely a consequence of increased autophosphorylation. Interestingly, neither Syk and C-terminal Src kinase nor three other members of the Src family (Lyn, Lck, and Fyn) are susceptible to stimulation by phosphopeptide, as observed with c-Fgr. These data support the notion that c-Fgr undergoes a unique mechanism of activation promoted by tyrosine-phosphorylated polypeptide that binds to its SH2 domain. This suggests that such a mode of regulation is peculiar of protein-tyrosine kinases committed to the secondary phosphorylation of sequentially phosphorylated proteins.

Abstract
Expression of the retroviral transforming gene v-src arrests the proliferation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A functional Src SH2 (Src homology 2) domain is required for this arrest. To examine the mechanism by which Src blocks yeast cell proliferation, and to determine the role of the Src SH2 domain in the growth arrest, src variants were expressed in yeast under the control of the galactose-inducible GAL1 promoter. Following galactose induction of Src expression, phosphotyrosyl-proteins were isolated by immunoprecipitation with beads coupled to either anti-phosphotyrosine antibody or to a recombinant fusion protein containing the Src SH2 domain. A group of SH2-binding phosphotyrosyl proteins was detected in cells expressing toxic forms of Src, but were not detected in cells expressing non-toxic variants. This group of phosphotyrosyl-proteins represents a minor subset of the proteins phosphorylated by v-Src. The lethality of v-Src and the phosphorylation of SH2-binding proteins were co-ordinately affected by alterations in phosphotyrosine-phosphatase activity. These observations indicate that the lethality of Src is correlated with the phosphorylation of proteins that bind to the Src SH2 domain. The role of the SH2 domain in determining the lethal effects of Src in yeast may be similar to its role in targeting Src to substrates necessary for its biological effects in vertebrate cells.

Abstract
The structure of a large fragment of the c-Src tyrosine kinase, comprising the regulatory and kinase domains and the carboxy-terminal tall, has been determined at 1.7 A resolution in a closed, inactive state. Interactions among domains, stabilized by binding of the phosphorylated tail to the SH2 domain, lock the molecule in a conformation that simultaneously disrupts the kinase active site and sequesters the binding surfaces of the SH2 and SH3 domains. The structure shows how appropriate cellular signals, or transforming mutations in v-Src, could break these interactions to produce an open, active kinase.

Abstract
The Src family of protein tyrosine kinases has been implicated in the response of cells to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or epidermal growth factor (EGF). We recently described a microinjection approach that we used to demonstrate that kinase activity of Src family members is required for PDGF- and EGF-induced S-phase entry of fibroblasts. We have now used this approach to ask whether a functional SH3 domain of Src is required to transduce the mitogenic signal upon PDGF or EGF stimulation. Microinjection of plasmids encoding Src mutants lacking the SH3 domain (SrcDeltaSH3) or point-mutated within the ligand binding surface of the SH3 domain, but with intact kinase domains, inhibited the mitogenic effect of PDGF and EGF in fibroblasts. SrcDeltaSH3 could still associate with the PDGF receptor, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of the Src SH3 mutants was brought about by a failure of the PDGF receptor.SrcDeltaSH3 complex to relay the mitogenic signal further downstream. Chimeric molecules in which the Src SH3 domain was replaced with that of spectrin or Lck also blocked PDGF-induced DNA synthesis, whereas a chimera containing the Fyn SH3 domain did not. These data suggest that the Src or Fyn SH3 domain is required either for correct substrate selection or to recruit other proteins to the PDGF receptor.

Abstract
The Src family protein-tyrosine kinases are required for mitogenic signaling from the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), colony stimulating factor-1, and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor protein-tyrosine kinases (RPTK) (Twamley-Stein, G. M., Pepperkok, R., Ansorge, W., and Courtneidge, S. A. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 90, 7696-7700; Roche, S., Koegl, M., Barone, M. V., Roussel, M. F., and Courtneidge, S. A.(1995) Mol. Cell. Biol. 15, 1102-1109). In NIH3T3 fibroblasts, c-Src, Fyn, and c-Yes associate with the activated PDGF receptor, are substrates for receptor phosphorylation, and are themselves activated. Src family catalytic function is required for RPTK mitogenic signaling as evidenced by the SH2-dependent dominant negative phenotype exhibited by kinase-inactive Src and Fyn mutants (Twamley-Stein, G. M., Pepperkok, R., Ansorge, W., and Courtneidge, S. A.(1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 90, 7696-7700). Here, we have generated clonal Src- murine fibroblast cell lines overexpressing various murine c-Src mutants and studied the effect of these mutant Src proteins on PDGF- and EGF-induced mitogenesis. Two c-Src SH3 domain mutants, Y133F and Y138F, each inhibited PDGF BB- and EGF-induced DNA synthesis in quiescent cells. This demonstrates an involvement of the Src SH3 domain in PDGFbeta and EGF receptor mitogenic signaling. Since both Tyr-133 and Tyr-138 are located on the ligand binding surface of the SH3 domain, these results suggest that the c-Src SH3 domain is required for PDGF and EGF mitogenic signaling. The dominant negative effect of either single mutant on PDGF receptor signaling was reversed by a second SH2-inactivating mutation. We conclude that the c-Src SH3 domain function requires the SH2 domain in the case of the PDGF receptor, presumably because binding of c-Src to the receptor via its SH2 domain is a prerequisite for the SH3 domain function. In contrast, SH2 function is apparently not essential for the SH3 function in EGF receptor signaling.
