Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of isorhamnetin on the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α -induced fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) was exposed to additional isorhamnetin (10, 20 and 40 µ mol/L). Overexpression vectors for matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) or MMP9 or SRC were transfected to explore their roles in isorhamnetin-mediated RA-FLS function. RA-FLS viability, migration, and invasion were evaluated. Moreover, a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model was established. Rats were randomly divided to sham, CIA, low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups using a random number table (n=5 in each group) and administed with normal saline or additional isorhamnetin [2, 10, and 20 mg/(kg·day)] for 4 weeks, respectively. Arthritis index was calculated and synovial tissue inflammation was determined in CIA rats. The levels of MMP2, MMP9, TNF-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1 β, as well as the phosphorylation levels of SRC, extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding (CREB), were detected in RA-FLS and synovial tissue. Molecular docking was also used to analyze the binding of isorhamnetin to SRC. RESULTS In in vitro studies, isorhamnetin inhibited RA-FLS viability, migration and invasion (P<0.05). Isorhamnetin downregulated the levels of MMP2, MMP9, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1 β in RA-FLS (P<0.05). The overexpression of either MMP2 or MMP9 reversed isorhamnetin-inhibited RA-FLS migration and invasion, as well as the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1 β (P<0.05). Furthermore, isorhamnetin bound to SRC and reduced the phosphorylation of SRC, ERK, and CREB (P<0.05). SRC overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of isorhamnetin on RA-FLS viability, migration and invasion, as well as the negative regulation of MMP2 and MMP9 (P<0.05). In in vivo studies, isorhamnetin decreased arthritis index scores (P<0.05) and alleviated synovial inflammation. Isorhamnetin reduced the levels of MMP2, MMP9, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1 β, as well as the phosphorylation of SRC, ERK, and CREB in synovial tissue (P<0.05). Notably, the inhibitory effect of isorhamnetin was more pronounced at higher concentrations (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Isorhamnetin exhibited anti-RA effects through modulating SRC/ERK/CREB and MMP2/MMP9 signaling pathways, suggesting that isorhamnetin may be a potential therapeutic agent for RA.

Abstract
Both the antioxidant, n-l-acetyl cysteine (L-NAC) and the Src inhibitor, KX1-004, have been used to protect the cochlea from hazardous noise. To date, KX1-004 has only been used locally on the round window. In the current study, the two drugs were administered systemically. LNAC was delivered intraperitoneally at a dose of 325 mg/kg while KX1-004 was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 50 mg/kg. The noise exposure consisted of a 4 kHz octave band of noise at 100 dB SPL for 6 hours/day for 4 days. The drugs were administered once each day, 30 minutes prior to the onset of the noise exposure. The animals' hearing was estimated using the evoked response records from surgically-implanted chronic electrodes in the inferior colliculi. Animals treated with LNAC and KX1-004 had from 10 to 20 dB less temporary threshold shift at day 1 and an average 10 dB less permanent threshold shift by day 21 when compared to control saline treated animals. There were no significant side effects (i.e.: appetite loss, weight loss, lethargy, etc.) related to either of the drug treatments. KX1-004 produced at least as much protection as L-NAC, but at a significantly lower concentration.

Abstract
3-Phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PhPP) derivatives substituted with an alkyl or aryl carboxylic acid at the N1-endocyclic amine, such as PhPP-CH(2)COOH (IC(50)=250 microM), and peptides Ac-CIYKYY (IC(50)=400 microM) and Ac-YIYGSFK (IC(50)=570 microM) were weak inhibitors of polyE(4)Y phosphorylation by active c-Src. A series of PhPP-peptide conjugates were synthesized using PhPP as an ATP mimic and CIYKYY or YIYGSFK as a peptide substrate to improve the inhibitory potency against active c-Src kinase. PhPP derivatives were attached to the N terminus or the side chain of amino acids in the peptide template. Two N-terminal substituted conjugates, PhPP-CH(2)CO-CIYKYY (IC(50)=0.38 microM) and PhPP-CH(2)CO-YIYGSFK (IC(50)=2.7 microM), inhibited the polyE(4)Y phosphorylation by active c-Src significantly higher than that of the parent compounds. The conjugation of PhPP with the peptides produced a synergistic inhibition effect possibly through creation of favorable interactions between the conjugate and the kinase domain as shown by molecular modeling studies.

Abstract
Involvement of protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation has been demonstrated. Studies investigated the role of PTK and the underlying mechanisms by which PTK play a role in LPS induction of pathways leading to NF-kappaB activation in macrophages. Inhibitors of PTK-genistein, herbimycin A, or AG126-blocked LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation. Genistein also blocked pervanadate-induced NF-kappaB activation. Furthermore, Src TK selective inhibitors-damnacanthal or PP1-blocked LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation over a range of nanomolar concentrations. Genistein, damnacanthal, or PP1 blocked the LPS-induced serine phosphorylation, the degradation of IkappaB-alpha, and the consequent translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB to the nucleus. In addition to serine phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha, LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation also required tyrosine phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha. These TK inhibitors blocked substantially LPS induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha. Furthermore, cSrc and Lck were physically associated with IkappaB-alpha. These results suggest that the LPS-induced NF-kappaB pathways are dependent on both serine and tyrosine phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha, and that Src TK, such as cSrc and Lck, are key components of the LPS signaling pathway through at least two different mechanisms associated with NF-kappaB activation.

Abstract
SRC family kinases (SFKs) function in initiating Ca2+release at fertilization in several species in the vertebrate evolutionary line, but whether they play a similar role in mammalian fertilization has been uncertain. We investigated this question by first determining which SFK proteins are expressed in mouse eggs, and then measuring Ca2+release at fertilization in the presence of dominant negative inhibitors. FYN and YES proteins were found in mouse eggs, but other SFKs were not detected; based on this, we injected mouse eggs with a mixture of FYN and YES Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. These SH2 domains were effective inhibitors of Ca2+release at fertilization in starfish eggs, but did not inhibit Ca2+release at fertilization in mouse eggs. Thus the mechanism by which sperm initiate Ca2+release in mouse eggs does not depend on SH2 domain-mediated activation of an SFK. We also tested the small molecule SFK inhibitor SU6656, and found that it became compartmentalized in the egg cytoplasm, thus suggesting caution in the use of this inhibitor. Our findings indicate that although the initiation of Ca2+release at fertilization of mammalian eggs occurs by a pathway that has many similarities to that in evolutionarily earlier animal groups, the requirement for SH2 domain-mediated activation of an SFK is not conserved.

Abstract
PURPOSE Na,K-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) is essential for the regulation of cytoplasmic ion concentrations in lens cells. Earlier studies demonstrated that tyrosine phosphorylation by Lyn kinase, a Src-family member, inhibits Na,K-ATPase activity in porcine lens epithelium. In the present study, experiments were conducted to compare the ability of other Src-family kinases (Fyn, Src, and Lck) and Fes, a non-Src-family tyrosine kinase, to alter Na,K-ATPase activity. METHODS Membranes prepared from porcine lens epithelium were incubated with partially purified tyrosine kinases in buffer containing 1 mM adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP hydrolysis in the presence and absence of ouabain was used to measure Na,K-ATPase activity. Western blot analysis was used to examine phosphotyrosine-containing proteins and tyrosine kinase expression. RESULTS Fyn reduced Na,K-ATPase activity by approximately 30%. In contrast, Src caused a approximately 38% increase of Na,K-ATPase activity. Na,K-ATPase activity in membrane material treated with Lck or Fes was not significantly altered, even though Lck and Fes treatment induced robust tyrosine phosphorylation. Added exogenously, each tyrosine kinase induced a different pattern of membrane protein tyrosine phosphorylation. As judged by immunoprecipitation, Src, Fyn, Lyn, and Lck elicited tyrosine phosphorylation of the Na,K-ATPase alpha1 protein. Src, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, and Fes were each detectable in the epithelium by Western blot. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate considerable variation in the Na,K-ATPase activity response of lens epithelium to different tyrosine kinases. This could perhaps explain why inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity is reported to be caused by tyrosine phosphorylation in some tissues, whereas stimulation of Na,K-ATPase activity is observed in other tissues.

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase is essential for the regulation of cytoplasmic Na+ and K+ levels in lens cells. Studies on the intact lens suggest activation of tyrosine kinases may inhibit Na,K-ATPase function. Here, we tested the influence of Lyn kinase, a Src-family member, on tyrosine phosphorylation and Na,K-ATPase activity in membrane material isolated from porcine lens epithelium. Western blot studies indicated the expression of Lyn in lens cells. When membrane material was incubated in ATP-containing solution containing partially purified Lyn kinase, Na,K-ATPase activity was reduced by approximately 38%. Lyn caused tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple protein bands. Immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis showed Lyn treatment causes an increase in density of a 100-kDa phosphotyrosine band immunopositive for Na,K-ATPase alpha1 polypeptide. Incubation with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) reversed the Lyn-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation increase and the change of Na,K-ATPase activity. The results suggest that Lyn kinase treatment of a lens epithelium membrane preparation is able to bring about partial inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity associated with tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple membrane proteins, including the Na,K-ATPase alpha1 catalytic subunit.

Abstract
The STAT transcription factors (signal transducers and activators of transcription), STAT1 and STAT3, are involved in signal transduction from growth factors and different cytokine receptors. STAT1 and STAT3 activation mechanisms are not sufficiently investigated, but they are known to depend upon both cell type and stimulus for either of them. Recently, we have shown that nocodazole blocked EGF-induced STAT1 transport to the nucleus. Here, we have compared STAT1 and STAT3 activation in response to IFNgamma, IFNalpha and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in A431 cells. We have shown the STAT1 activation by all these agents; unlike, STAT3 was activated by EGF only. STAT1 and STAT3 activation upon EGF is blocked by both nocodazole and Src-kinase family inhibitor. STAT1 activation upon IFNgamma influence is blocked by nocodazole, but does not depend on the activity of Src-family kinases. The increased STAT3 phosphorylation results from a combined action of Src-kinase inhibitor and IFNgamma. IFNalpha-induced activation of STAT1 was not inhibited by either nocodazole or Src-kinase inhibitor. Taken together, the data obtained suggest that the activation of both STAT1 and STAT3 in A431 cells is accomplished by different mechanisms.

Abstract
Using 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-D]pyrimidine (PP2), a specific inhibitor of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, here we show a direct involvement of these enzymes in memory formation and recall. When infused into the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus, immediately or 30 min after training rats in a one-trial inhibitory avoidance task, PP2 but not its inactive analog 4-amino-7-phenylpyrazol[3,4-D]pyrimidine (PP3), blocked short- (STM) and long-term memory (LTM) formation, as tested 2 or 24 h post-training, respectively. PP2 had no effect on STM when given at 60 min post-training or on LTM when administered at 60, 120 or 180 min after the training session, but blocked memory recall when infused into CA1 15 min before a LTM expression test. Hence, activity of the Src family of tyrosine kinases is required in the CA1 region of the rat dorsal hippocampus for the normal formation and retrieval of one-trial inhibitory avoidance memory.

Abstract
Bombesin and its mammalian homologue gastrin-releasing peptide have been shown to be highly expressed and secreted by neuroendocrine cells in prostate cancer, and are thought to be related to the carcinogenesis and progression of this disease. We found, in this study, bombesin specifically induced mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation as shown by increased extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor transactivation in prostate cancer cells, which express functional gastrin-releasing peptide receptor. The transactivation of EGF receptor was required for bombesin-induced ERK phosphorylation. Furthermore, non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src and cellular Ca2+ were shown to be involved in bombesin-induced EGF receptor transactivation and ERK phosphorylation. Inhibition of either EGF receptor transactivation or ERK activation blocked bombesin-induced DNA synthesis in these cells. Taken together, these data suggest bombesin may act as a mitogen in prostate cancer by activating MAP kinase pathway via EGFR transactivation.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that heterotrimeric G proteins and tyrosine kinases may be involved in lipopolysacchaide (LPS) signaling events. Signal transduction pathways activated by LPS we examined in human pomonocytic THP-l cells. We hypothesized that Gi proteins and Src tyrosine kinase differentially affect mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa(NF-kappaB) activation. Post-receptor coupling to Ga, proteins were examined using pertussis toxin (PTx),which inhibits Galpha i receptor-coupling. The involvement of the Src family of tyrosine kinases was examined using the selective Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor pyrazolopyrimidine-2 (PP2). Pretreatment of THP-1 cells with PTx attenuated LPS-induced activation of c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 kinase, and production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TN-alpha) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2). Pretreatment with PP2 inhibited TNF-alpha and TxB2 production, but had no effect on p38 kinase or JNK signaling. Therefore, the Ga i-coupled signaling pathways and Src tyrosine kinase-coupled signaling pathways are necessary for LPS-induced TNF-alpha and TxB2 production, but differ in their effects on MAPK activation. Neither PTx nor PP2 inhibited LPS-induced activation of interleukin receptor activated kinase (IRAK) or inhibited translocation of NF-kappaB. However, PP2 inhibited LPS-induced NF-kappaB transactivation of a luciferase reporter gene construct in a concentration-dependent manner. Thus, LPS induction of Src tyrosine kinases may be essential in downstream NF-kappaB tansactivation of genes following DNA binding. PTx had no effect on NF-kaapaB activation of the reporter construct. These data suggest upstream divergence in signaling through Galpha i,pathways leading to MAPK activation and other signaling events leading to IkappaBalpha degradation and NF-kaapaB DNA binding.

Abstract
Mesangial cell growth factors elevate intracellular free [Ca2+]i, but mechanisms linking [Ca2+]i to gene expression and DNA synthesis are unclear. This study investigated the hypothesis that Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II), which is activated by elevated [Ca2+]i, increases c-fos transcription and DNA synthesis via a Src-based mechanism. In cultured rat mesangial cells, dominant negative Src (SrcK-) blocked activation of the c-fos gene promoter by CaMK II 290, a constitutively active form of CaMK IIalpha. Activation of the c-fos promoter by CaMK II 290 was also blocked by COOH-terminal Src kinase, which phosphorylates and inactivates c-Src. A pharmacologic CaMK inhibitor, KN-93, did not block activation of the c-fos promoter by ectopically expressed v-Src. Stimulation of c-Src by endothelin-1 required CaMK II activity, further supporting the notion that CaMK II acts upstream of Src in a signaling cassette. Activation of the c-fos promoter by CaMKII290 and Src required the c-fos serum response element. Dominant negative SrcK- also blocked induction of DNA synthesis in mesangial cells by CaMK II 290. Collectively, these results suggest that in mesangial cells Src protein tyrosine kinases act downstream of CaMKII in a signaling pathway in which [Ca2+]i induces the c-fos promoter and increases DNA synthesis.

Abstract
The channel activity of NMDA receptors is regulated by phosphorylation by protein kinases and by interaction with other proteins. Recombinant NR1/NR2A subtype NMDA receptor channels are potentiated by the protein tyrosine kinase Src, an effect which is mediated by a reduction in the high-affinity, voltage-independent Zn(2+) inhibition. However, it has been reported that Src-induced potentiation of NMDA receptor currents in hippocampus neurons is not mediated by a reduction in Zn(2+) inhibition. The post-synaptic density protein PSD-95 interacts with the C-terminus of NR2 subunits of the NMDA receptor. Here we demonstrate that PSD-95 eliminates the Src-induced potentiation of NR1/NR2A channels expressed in oocytes and reduces the sensitivity of the channels to Zn(2+). Our results reveal that the absence of Src-induced potentiation of PSD-95-coupled NR1/NR2A channels is not to due to the reduced sensitivity of these channels to Zn(2+). These results indicate that PSD-95 functionally modulates NR1/NR2A channels and explain why Src-induced potentiation of NMDA receptor currents in hippocampus neurons is not mediated by a reduction in Zn(2+) inhibition.

Abstract
The development of hyperpolarizing inhibition is an important step in the maturation of neuronal networks. Hyperpolarizing inhibition requires Cl(-) outward transport that is accomplished by KCC2, a K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter. We show that cultured hippocampal neurons initially contain an inactive form of the KCC2 protein, which becomes activated during subsequent maturation of the neurons. We also show that this process is accelerated by transient stimulation of IGF-1 receptors. Because the transporter can be rapidly activated by coapplication of IGF-1 and an Src kinase and can be deactivated by membrane-permeable protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, we suggest that activation of K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter function by endogenous protein tyrosine kinases mediates the developmental switch of GABAergic responses to hyperpolarizing inhibition.

Abstract
Adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) to activated platelets requires a P-selectin-triggered, tyrosine kinase-dependent adhesiveness of Mac-1 and is accompanied by tyrosine phosphorylation of a 110-kd protein (P-110) in PMNLs. Inhibitors of SRC tyrosine kinases were found to inhibit PMNL adhesion to activated platelets or to P-selectin expressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-P) cells and the tyrosine phosphorylation of P-110. Adhesion of PMNLs to activated platelets or to CHO-P cells stimulated activity of LYN and HCK. Monoclonal antibody blockade of P-selectin or beta2-integrins reduced the activation of both kinases. In PMNLs either adherent to platelets or aggregated by P-selectin-IgG chimera, Mac-1 was rapidly redistributed to the Triton X-100-insoluble cytoskeletal fraction, and large clusters of Mac-1 colocalized with patches of F-actin at the sites of cell-cell contact. In PMNLs stimulated by P-selectin-IgG chimera, SRC kinase inhibition impaired Mac-1 clustering, F-actin accumulation, and CD18 redistribution to the cytoskeleton. Disruption of the actin filament network by cytochalasin D prevented PMNL-platelet adhesion and P-selectin-induced PMNL aggregation and impaired the clustering of Mac-1. In agreement with the requirement for the beta2-integrin in the functional up-regulation of LYN and HCK, integrin blockade by monoclonal antibodies resulted in a complete inhibition of P-selectin-induced Mac-1 clustering and F-actin accumulation. Taken together, the results indicate that, after an initial P-selectin-triggered beta2-integrin interaction with the ligand, SRC kinases are activated and allow the remodeling of cytoskeleton-integrin linkages and integrin clustering that finally strengthen cell-cell adhesion. This model highlights a new role for SRC kinases in a regulatory loop by which the Mac-1 promotes its own adhesive function.

Abstract
The p21-activated kinase, Pak, has recently been shown to phosphorylate Raf-1 on serine 338 (S338), a critical regulatory residue. The specificity requirements for Pak-mediated phosphorylation of S338 were examined by substitution analysis of Raf-1 peptides and conserved region 3 (CR3) proteins. Phosphorylation was found to be very sensitive to alterations in amino acid side chains proximal to S338. Loss of N-terminal arginines resulted in decreased peptide phosphorylation while loss of these residues, as well as C-terminal glutamates and bulky C-terminal hydrophobic residues, decreased phosphorylation of the CR3 protein. Phosphorylation of Raf-1 on tyrosine 341 is significant in epidermal growth factor- and Src-mediated signaling, suggesting that cooperativity may exist between Pak and Src phosphorylation of Raf-1. Purified Pak and Src were found not to be cooperative in phosphorylating peptides or purified CR3 protein. However, the phosphorylation of Raf-1 S338 by Pak was increased in the presence of Src. The complexity of this signaling module could thus account for the different levels of Raf-1 activation required for fulfillment of different biological roles within the cell.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinases have recently been shown to modulate synaptic plasticity and ion channel function. We show here that tyrosine kinases can also modulate both the baseline excitability state of Aplysia tail sensory neurons (SNs) as well as the excitability induced by the neuromodulator serotonin (5HT). First, we examined the effects of increasing and decreasing tyrosine kinase activity in the SNs. We found that tyrosine kinase inhibitors decrease baseline SN excitability in addition to attenuating the increase in excitability induced by 5HT. Conversely, functionally increasing cellular tyrosine kinase activity in the SNs by either inhibiting opposing tyrosine phosphatase activity or by direct injection of an active tyrosine kinase (Src) induces increases in SN excitability in the absence of 5HT. Second, we examined the interaction between protein kinase A (PKA), which is known to mediate 5HT-induced excitability changes in the SNs, and tyrosine kinases, in the enhancement of SN excitability. We found that the tyrosine kinases function downstream of PKA activation since tyrosine kinase inhibitors reduce excitability induced by activators of PKA. Finally, we examined the role of tyrosine kinases in other forms of 5HT-induced plasticity in the SNs. We found that while tyrosine kinase inhibitors attenuate excitability produced by 5HT, they have no effect on short-term facilitation (STF) of the SN-motor neuron (MN) synapse induced by 5HT. Thus tyrosine kinases modulate different forms of SN plasticity independently. Such differential modulation would have important consequences for activity-dependent plasticity in a variety of neural circuits.

Abstract
The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs), consisting of GDNF, neurturin, persephin, and artemin, signal via a multicomponent complex composed of Ret tyrosine kinase and the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored coreceptors GFRalpha1-alpha4. In previous work we have demonstrated that the localization of Ret to membrane microdomains known as lipid rafts is essential for GDNF-induced downstream signaling, differentiation, and neuronal survival. Moreover, we have found that Ret interacts with members of the Src family kinases (SFK) only when it is localized to these microdomains. In the present work we show by pharmacological and genetic approaches that Src activity was necessary to elicit optimal GDNF-mediated signaling, neurite outgrowth, and survival. In particular, p60Src, but not the other ubiquitous SFKs, Fyn and Yes, was responsible for the observed effects. Moreover, Src appeared to promote neuronal survival via a phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K)-dependent pathway because the PI-3K inhibitor LY294002 prevented GFL-mediated neuronal survival and prevented activated Src-mediated neuronal survival. In contrast, the inhibition of Src activity had no effects on NGF-mediated survival, indicating that the requirement for Src was selective for GFL-mediated neuronal survival. These data confirm the importance of protein-protein interactions between Ret and raft-associated proteins in the signaling pathways elicited by GDNF, and the data implicate Src as one of the major signaling molecules involved in GDNF-mediated bioactivity.

Abstract
Platelet shape change was found to be associated with an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation upon stimulation of thrombin-, ADP- and thromboxane A2-G-protein coupled receptors in human platelets and thromboxane A2 receptors in mouse platelets. By using PP1 and PD173956, two structurally unrelated specific inhibitors of Src-family tyrosine kinases, and mouse platelets deficient in the Src-kinase Fyn or Lyn, we show that Src-family kinases cause the increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation. We further detected that the non-Src tyrosine kinase Syk was activated during shape change in a manner dependent on Src-family kinaseactivation. The pharmacological experiments and the studies on Fyn-, Lyn- and Syk-deficient mouse platelets showed that neither Src-family kinases nor Syk are functionally involved in shape change. Also human platelets deficient of the tyrosine kinase Btk showed a normal shape change. Binding of PAC-1 that recognizes activated integrin alphaIIb beta3 complexes on the platelet surface was enhanced during shape change and blocked by inhibition of Src-kinases. We conclude that the activation of Src-kinases and the subsequent Syk stimulation upon activation of G-protein coupled receptors are not involved in the cytoskeletal changes underlying shape change of human and mouse platelets, but that the stimulation of this evolutionary conserved pathway leads to integrin alphaIIb beta3 exposure during shape change.

Abstract
Ingestion of opsonized pathogens by professional phagocytes results in the generation and release of microbicidal products that are essential for normal host defense. Because these products can result in significant tissue injury, phagocytosis must be regulated to limit damage to the host while allowing for optimal clearance and destruction of opsonized pathogens. To pursue negative regulation of phagocytosis, we assessed the effect of the Src kinase family member, Fgr, on opsonin-dependent phagocytosis by mouse macrophages. We chose Fgr because it is present in high concentrations in circulating phagocytes but is not essential for Fcgamma receptor-mediated ingestion by mouse macrophages. Although expression of Fgr both in a macrophage cell line and in primary macrophages significantly attenuates ingestion mediated by Fcgamma receptors and CR3, it does not affect macropinocytosis or receptor-mediated endocytosis. This selective effect of Fgr is independent of its tyrosine kinase function. After Fcgamma receptor cross-linking, Fgr becomes associated with the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM)-containing receptor, SIRPalpha (a member of the signal-regulatory protein family, also known as Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase [SHP] substrate 1 [SHPS-1], brain immunoglobulin-like molecule with tyrosine-based activation motifs [BIT], and P84) and potentiates the association of the phosphatase SHP-1 with SIRPalpha. This association is responsible, at least in part, for decreasing positive signaling essential for optimal phagocytosis. These data demonstrate an important negative regulatory role for this Src kinase family member and suggest that this homeostatic function must be overcome for optimal uptake and clearance of opsonized pathogens.

Abstract
Previously, we reported association of the adaptor protein Shc through its SH2 domain with the cytoplasmic domain of the adhesion molecule cadherin (Xu et al. [1997] J. Biol. Chem. 272:13463-13466). This association was dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation of cadherin and could be modulated by extracellular Ca(2+) and epidermal growth factor in intact cells. There are six tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domain of cadherin. To define the tyrosine residue(s) that mediate Shc recognition, site-directed mutagenesis was employed to alter Tyr851 and/or Tyr883 in cadherin, which both conform to a predicted Shc SH2 domain recognition sequence. Mutation of either Tyr851 or Tyr883, but mostly the latter, decreased Src phosphorylation of cadherin and the binding of Shc to cadherin, as determined by Sepharose bead binding and gel overlay assays. Of the two tyrosine residues, Tyr883 is the major Src phosphorylation and Shc binding site. However, the double mutant (Tyr851, 883 Phe) exhibited less Shc association than the single Tyr883 Phe mutant, suggesting a role for Tyr851 also. In addition, the binding of Shc to the cadherin cytoplasmic domain was competitively inhibited by tyrosine phosphorylated peptides containing either Tyr851 or Tyr883, but not by the corresponding non-phosphorylated peptides. Mutation of Tyr851 and/or Tyr883 did not alter the capacity of the cytoplasmic domain of cadherin to bind beta-catenin in vitro. However, Shc binding to cadherin did negatively influence beta-catenin binding to the same molecule.

Abstract
The c-Abl tyrosine kinase localizes to the cytoplasm and plasma membrane in addition to the nucleus. However, there is little information regarding a role for c-Abl in the cytoplasm/plasma membrane compartments. Here we report that a membrane pool of c-Abl is activated by the growth factors PDGF and EGF in fibroblasts. The pattern and kinetics of activation are similar to growth factor activation of Src family kinases. To determine whether a link existed between activation of c-Abl and members of the Src family, we examined c-Abl kinase activity in cells that expressed oncogenic Src proteins. We found that c-Abl kinase activity was increased by 10- to 20-fold in these cells, and that Src and Fyn kinases directly phosphorylated c-Abl in vitro. Furthermore, overexpression of wild-type Src potentiated c-Abl activation by growth factors, and a kinase-inactive form of Src reduced this activation, showing that Abl activation by growth factors occurs at least in part via activation of Src kinases. Significantly, we show that c-Abl has a functional role in the morphological response to PDGF. Whereas PDGF treatment of serum-starved wild-type mouse embryo fibroblasts resulted in distinct linear or circular/dorsal membrane ruffling, c-Abl-null cells demonstrated dramatically reduced ruffling in response to PDGF, which was rescued by physiological re-expression of c-Abl. These data identify c-Abl as a downstream target of activated receptor tyrosine kinases and Src family kinases, and show for the first time that c-Abl functions in the cellular response to growth factors.

Abstract
We have previously reported that the binding of type I collagen to its receptor initiates platelet aggregation involving phosphoprotein phosphatase 1 (PP 1), which coprecipitates with the 65-kDa platelet type I collagen receptor. Phosphorylation of the anti-PP1 precipitation PP1 decreases its enzyme activity. In the present investigation, the mechanism of the decreased enzyme activity was studied by examining the phosphorylation of PP 1 on serine/threonine or tyrosine residues. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the PP 1 indicates that serine, threonine, and tyrosine can all be phosphorylated. We find that the activity of PP 1 decreases with serine/threonine phosphorylation but that phosphorylation of tyrosine residue activates enzyme activity. These results indicate that the activity of platelet phosphoprotein phosphatase 1 is controlled by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation states at multiple, different site(s).

Abstract
Activation of the tyrosine kinase Src potentiates NMDA-receptor currents, which is thought to be necessary for induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation. Although the carboxy(C)-terminal domain of the NR2A subunit contains potential tyrosine phosphorylation sites, the mechanisms by which Src modulates synaptic plasticity and NMDA receptor currents is not fully understood. Here we present evidence from NR1 mutants and splice variants that Src potentiates NMDA-receptor currents by reducing the tonic inhibition of receptors composed of NR1 and NR2A subunits by extracellular zinc. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we have identified three C-terminal tyrosine residues of NR2A that are required for Src's modulation of the zinc sensitivity of NMDA receptors. Our data link two modulatory sites of NMDA receptors that were previously thought to be independent.

Abstract
IAP is a glycoprotein functionally and physically associated with some integrins, i.e., the leukocyte response integrin and the beta3 integrin chain on placenta, platelets, and polymorphonuclear cells. IAP may act as a transducer element in activation mediated via these integrins. Since IAP is present at high density on peripheral T lymphocytes we have investigated its involvement in T cell activation. We tested three mAbs against IAP, namely B6H12, BRIC126, and 2D3, which recognize two distinct epitopes. IAP cross-linking with B6H12 or BRIC126, but not 2D3, transduces costimulatory signals within highly purified CD3-activated T lymphocytes, i.e., enhancement of proliferation, CD25 expression, and IL-2 secretion, while no effect was observed upon CD2 stimulation. However, we could not observe any functional association between IAP and integrins on peripheral T cells. In an attempt to explore further the activation signal delivered by IAP, we show here that IAP cross-linking with the comitogenic B6H12 mAb induces the phosphorylation on tyrosine of several proteins, one of which is identified as p56(lck) protein tyrosine kinase. Moreover, we observed that IAP is associated with p56(lck) on PMA-activated, but not on resting, T cells. These data suggest that on T cells, IAP may be involved directly via a specific ligand in cell-matrix or cell-cell interactions. Such interactions could trigger protein tyrosine phosphorylation pathways, which play an important role in both maturation and activation of T cells.

Abstract
The CD28 cell surface receptor provides an important costimulatory signal for T cells necessary for their response to Ag. Early events in CD28 signaling include recruitment and activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) and activation of the protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), LCK and EMT. Recruitment and activation of PI3-kinase is known to be dependent upon phosphorylation of tyrosine 173 of the CD28 cytoplasmic tail contained within a YMNM motif. By contrast, little is known of which residues of the CD28 tail, including tyrosines, are required for the activation of PTKs. To address this we studied the ability of truncation mutants and tyrosine to phenylalanine substitution mutants of the CD28 cytoplasmic tail to activate LCK and EMT in Jurkat T leukemia cells. Our results indicate that 1) activation of EMT is partially dependent upon tyrosine 173 of the CD28 tail, although it does not require PI3-kinase activation; 2) activation of LCK is independent of CD28 cytoplasmic tail tyrosine residues; and 3) elements sufficient for the activation of both kinases are contained within the first half of the tail. In addition we studied the CD28 tail as a substrate for both PTKs in in vitro kinase assays. We demonstrate that EMT can phosphorylate all four tyrosines of the CD28 tail, in contrast to LCK, which phosphorylates only tyrosine 173. Together with evidence that in vivo, tyrosines other than tyrosine 173 become phosphorylated following CD28 stimulation, this finding suggests that, like LCK, one function of EMT during CD28 signaling is phosphorylation of the receptor.

Abstract
p56lck, a member of the src family of non-receptor protein receptor kinases, is required for normal signal transduction through the T cell receptor. Inappropriate T cell activation and proliferation has been identified as an early event in auto-immune disease-agents which control T cell activation through modulation of p56lck kinase activity could therefore be potential therapeutic agents for a range of pathological conditions. To identify p56lck inhibitors, we have established an assay system suitable for the high throughput screening of compound libraries. The assay uses enzyme purified from baculovirus infected SF9 cells, and a novel peptidic substrate identified by L. Cantley from a degenerate combinatorial peptide library. We have used this assay system to screen a number of different compounds as potential inhibitors of p56lck. In addition, peptides based on the substrate sequence were also tested to identify a sequence that could be used in the rational design of peptide inhibitors of p56lck.
