beta2-Chimaerin, an intracellular receptor for the second messenger diacylglycerol and phorbol esters, is a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) specific for Rac. beta2-Chimaerin negatively controls many Rac-dependent pathophysiological events including tumor development. However, the regulatory mechanism of beta2-chimaerin remains largely unknown. Here we report that beta2-chimaerin is tyrosine-phosphorylated by Src-family kinases (SFKs) upon cell stimulation with epidermal growth factor (EGF). Mutational analysis identified Tyr-21 in the N-terminal regulatory region as a major phosphorylation site. Intriguingly, the addition of SFK inhibitor and the replacement of Tyr-21 with Phe (Y21F) markedly enhanced Rac-GAP activity of beta2-chimaerin in EGF-treated cells. Moreover, the Y21F mutant inhibited integrin-dependent cell spreading, in which Rac1 plays a critical role, more strongly than wild-type beta2-chimaerin. These results suggest Tyr-21 phosphorylation as a novel, SFK-dependent mechanism that negatively regulates beta2-chimaerin Rac-GAP activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
