Fig. 4. Differences in phosphotyrosine signaling by the ß1-787-789
(*/A) and ß3-751-753 (*/A) mutants. (A) Normal
human fibroblasts expressing tac chimeras containing either the wild-type
ß1 or ß3 cytoplasmic domain or the ß1-787-789 (*/A)
or ß3-751-753 (*/A) mutant were incubated in clustering assays
for 40 minutes or 90 minutes. Lysates (10 µg/sample) were analyzed by
SDS-PAGE and blotted for phosphotyrosine (upper panel), and then reprobed for
p130CAS (lower panel). Samples were loaded as indicated. (B) Samples from the
total population of transfected cells used for the study in A were examined by
flow cytometry for the surface expression of the tac subunit of the IL-2
receptor. (C,D) Human fibroblasts were transfected with tac chimeras
containing either the wild-type or mutant tails as indicated. Tac chimeras
were clustered on the cell surface for 40 minutes. After preparation of cell
lysates, p130CAS was immunoprecipitated from 200 µg of protein in C, or
paxillin was immunoprecipitated from 150 µg in D and then separated by
SDS-PAGE, blotted for phosphotyrosine (upper panel) and reprobed for p130CAS
or paxillin (lower panels). Samples were loaded as indicated above each lane.
These experiments were performed twice and similar results were obtained.
P130, p130CAS; pax, paxillin.
