We identified a possible endogenous substrate (pp185) of the insulin-receptor kinase in human adipocytes by treating intact cells with insulin and immunoblotting the cellular extracts with polyclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody. This 185,000-Mr protein was phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in response to insulin in both rat and human adipocytes. The time course of pp185 phosphorylation at 37 degrees C was rapid and corresponded closely to insulin-receptor autophosphorylation but preceded insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Unlike many growth factor receptors, including the insulin receptor, pp185 was not adsorbed to wheat-germ agglutinin. We found that pp185 phosphorylation occurred at 12 degrees C and that the phosphoprotein was associated with both cytoplasmic and membrane fractions at this temperature. Furthermore, pp185 phosphorylation was induced to the same extent as insulin by vanadate and hydrogen peroxide, compounds previously shown to mimic the biologic effects of insulin. In addition, dose-response analysis of insulin-stimulated glucose transport, receptor autophosphorylation, and pp185 phosphorylation resulted in ED50 values of 0.3, 12, and 12 ng/ml, respectively. These results demonstrate the magnitude of "spare" autophosphorylation and pp185 phosphorylation with respect to glucose transport stimulation in human adipocytes. To determine whether the insulin resistance characteristic of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and obesity is associated with a defect in receptor autophosphorylation and/or endogenous substrate phosphorylation, we estimated the extent of beta-subunit and pp185 phosphorylation in adipocytes from NIDDM, obese, and healthy subjects. Although the efficiency of coupling between receptor activation and pp185 phosphorylation was normal in obesity and NIDDM, the capacity for insulin-receptor autophosphorylation was approximately 50% lower in NIDDM subjects compared with nondiabetic obese or lean subjects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.
