Abstract

To elucidate the signal transduction mechanisms used by ligands that induce differentiation and the cessation of cell division, we utilized p13suc1-agarose, a reagent that binds p34cdc2/cdk2. By using this reagent, we identified a 78- to 90-kDa species in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells that is rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine following treatment with the differentiation factors nerve growth factor (NGF) and fibroblast growth factor but not by the mitogens epidermal growth factor or insulin. This species, called SNT (suc-associated neurotrophic factor-induced tyrosine-phosphorylated target), was also phosphorylated on tyrosine in primary rat cortical neurons treated with the neurotrophic factors neurotrophin-3, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and fibroblast growth factor but not in those treated with epidermal growth factor. In neuronal and fibroblast cells, where NGF can also act as a mitogen, SNT was tyrosine phosphorylated to a much greater extent during NGF-induced differentiation than during NGF-induced proliferation. SNT was phosphorylated in vitro on serine, threonine, and tyrosine in p13suc1-agarose precipitates from NGF-treated PC12 cells, indicating that this protein may be a substrate of kinase activities associated with p13suc1-p34cdc2/cdk2 complexes. In addition, SNT was associated predominantly with nuclear fractions following subcellular fractionation of NGF-treated PC12 cells. Finally, in PC12 cells, NGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of SNT was dependent on the levels of Trk tyrosine kinase activity and was constitutively induced by expression of pp60v-src. However, Ras was not required for constitutive SNT tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting that this protein functions distally to Trk and pp60v-src but in a pathway parallel to that of Ras. SNT is the first identified specific target of differentiation factor-induced tyrosine kinase activity in neuronal cells.
