RESUMO
Protein tyrosine phosphatase α (PTPα) promotes integrin-stimulated cell migration in part through the role of Src-phosphorylated PTPα-Tyr(P)-789 in recruiting and localizing p130Cas to focal adhesions. The growth factor IGF-1 also stimulates PTPα-Tyr-789 phosphorylation to positively regulate cell movement. This is in contrast to integrin-induced PTPα phosphorylation, that induced by IGF-1 can occur in cells lacking Src family kinases (SFKs), indicating that an unknown kinase distinct from SFKs can target PTPα. We show that this IGF-1-stimulated tyrosine kinase is Abl. We found that PTPα binds to the scaffold protein RACK1 and that RACK1 coordinates the IGF-1 receptor, PTPα, and Abl in a complex to enable IGF-1-stimulated and Abl-dependent PTPα-Tyr-789 phosphorylation. In cells expressing SFKs, IGF-1-stimulated phosphorylation of PTPα is mediated by RACK1 but is Abl-independent. Furthermore, expressing the SFKs Src and Fyn in SFK-deficient cells switches IGF-1-induced PTPα phosphorylation to occur in an Abl-independent manner, suggesting that SFK activity dominantly regulates IGF-1/IGF-1 receptor signaling to PTPα. RACK1 is a molecular scaffold that integrates growth factor and integrin signaling, and our identification of PTPα as a RACK1 binding protein suggests that RACK1 may coordinate PTPα-Tyr-789 phosphorylation in these signaling networks to promote cell migration.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase-alpha (PTPalpha) is a widely expressed receptor-type phosphatase that functions in multiple signaling systems. The actions of PTPalpha can be regulated by its phosphorylation on serine and tyrosine residues, although little is known about the conditions that promote PTPalpha phosphorylation. In this study, we tested the ability of several extracellular factors to stimulate PTPalpha tyrosine phosphorylation. The growth factors IGF-I and acidic FGF induced the highest increase in PTPalpha phosphorylation at tyrosine 789, followed by PMA and lysophosphatidic acid, while EGF had little effect. Further investigation of IGF-I-induced PTPalpha tyrosine phosphorylation demonstrated that this occurs through a novel Src family kinase-independent mechanism that does not require focal adhesion kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, or MEK. We also show that PTPalpha physically interacts with the IGF-I receptor. In contrast to IGF-I-induced PTPalpha phosphorylation, this association does not require IGF-I. The interaction of PTPalpha and the IGF-I receptor is independent of PTPalpha catalytic activity, and expression of exogenous PTPalpha does not promote IGF-I receptor tyrosine dephosphorylation, indicating that PTPalpha does not act as an IGF-I receptor phosphatase. However, PTPalpha mediates IGF-I signaling, because IGF-I-stimulated fibroblast migration was reduced by approximately 50% in cells lacking PTPalpha or in cells with mutant PTPalpha lacking the tyrosine 789 phosphorylation site. Our results suggest that PTPalpha tyrosine phosphorylation can occur in response to diverse stimuli and can be mediated by various tyrosine kinases. In the case of IGF-I, we propose that IGF-I-induced tyrosine 789 phosphorylation of PTPalpha, possibly catalyzed by the PTPalpha-associated IGF-I receptor tyrosine kinase, is required for efficient cell migration in response to this growth factor.
