Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), and its structural relative IRS-2, are both phosphorylated on tyrosine following treatment of cells with interleukin-4 (IL-4) and insulin. We have investigated whether both IRS-1 and IRS-2 are expressed in murine lymphohemopoietic cells. T and B lymphocytes and macrophages from primary cultures expressed only IRS-2, which became phosphorylated on tyrosine following stimulation with both IL-4 and insulin. Likewise, the murine myeloid cell line FD-5 expressed only IRS-2, which was tyrosine phosphorylated in response to IL-4 and insulin, as well as interleukin-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor. Neither IRS-1 nor IRS-2 were expressed at detectable levels in primary bone marrow mast cells although these cells do respond to IL-4. Moreover, a factor-dependent lymphocyte cell line, CT.4S, which grows continuously in IL-4, did not express detectable levels of IRS-1 or IRS-2. IRS-2 from FD-5 cells stimulated with either IL-4 or insulin bound to glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins of the p85 subunit of phosphoinositol 3'-kinase, Grb2, and Syp, paralleling reported associations of IRS-1 with these molecules and indicating phosphorylation of the corresponding residues on IRS-2.

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).

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules.
