Physical and functional association of cortactin with Syk in human leukemic cell line K562.
Human leukemic cell line K562 is induced to differentiate into the megakaryocytic lineage by stimulation with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). We demonstrate here that TPA stimulation increases tyrosine phosphorylation of an 80-kDa protein at an early stage of megakaryocytic differentiation and that this 80-kDa protein is identical with cortactin. Since tyrosine kinase Syk was activated by TPA stimulation, we examined the possibility that cortactin is a potential substrate of Syk in K562 cells. TPA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of cortactin was decreased profoundly by overexpression of dominant-negative Syk. Furthermore, cortactin was associated with Syk even before TPA stimulation. Since cortactin was previously referred as an 80/85-kilodalton pp60src substrate, we examined the association between Src and cortactin, whereas its association could not be detected. These data suggest that Syk phosphorylates cortactin in K562 cells upon TPA treatment.
