摘要：

PTP1C is a non-transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase and contains two Src homology-2 (SH2) domains. Insulin stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP1C in human 1M-9 lymphoblast cells, in rat H35 hepatoma cells and in Chinese hamster ovary cells over-expressing both insulin receptors and PTP1C. Insulin also stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of a mutant PTP1C lacking SH2 domains in Chinese hamster ovary cells, suggesting that the SH2 domains are not required for insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP1C. The insulin receptor tyrosine kinase catalyzed the tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP1C in a cell-free system. Peptide mapping of phosphorylated PTP1C showed that Tyr538 in the C-terminal region was phosphorylated in response to insulin. The tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP1C by the insulin receptor kinase increased phosphatase activity. Furthermore, PTP1C was shown to bind to autophosphorylated insulin receptors through its C-terminal region, but PTP1C did not bind to unphosphorylated receptors. These results suggest that PTP1C is a target protein for the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase and that the C-terminal region of PTP1C may function both in the regulation of phosphatase activity and in the association of PTP1C with autophosphorylated insulin receptors.
