title: The role of erythropoietin receptor tyrosine phosphorylation in erythropoietin-induced proliferation.
abstract: Although studies with truncated erythropoietin receptors (EpoRs) have suggested the tyrosine phosphorylation (Yphos) of the EpoR may not play a significant role in Epo-induced proliferation, we found, using a full length EpoR mutant designed Null, in which all 8 of the intracellular tyrosines (Ys) were substituted with phenylalanines (Fs), that Null cells required 5-10 fold more Epo than wild type (WT) EpoR containing cells in order to proliferate as well. Moreover, a comparison of Epo-induced proliferation with Epo-induced Yphos patterns, using DA-3 cells expressing WT, Null and various Y to F EpoR point mutants revealed that Stat5 Yphos and activation correlated directly with proliferation and was mediated primarily throuhg the most membrane proximal Y, i.e., Y343, although other tyrosines (most likely Y401 and Y431) within the EpoR could activate Stat5 in its absence. We also found that EpoR Yphos was essential for the Yphos of Shc and for the Yphos and association of a 145 kDa protein with Shc. We purified and cloned this Shc-associated 145 kDa protein and found that it was a unique SH2 containing inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase. This novel enzyme, which we have called SHIP for SH2-containing inositol-phosphatase, may modulate both Ras and inositol signaling pathways.
