title: Overexpression of Fer increases the association of tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS-1 with P85 phosphatidylinositol kinase via SH2 domain of Fer in transfected cells.
abstract: We have reported that the protein-tyrosine kinase Fer is associated with signaling complexes containing insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3 kinase) in insulin-stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes [J. Biol. Chem. 275 (50) (2000) 38995]. We examined the subcellular localization of this complex in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and performed transfection study to know how this complex is formed. Interestingly we have detected that this complex is formed in LDM of insulin-stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes, which may be important for specific biological insulin effect. Based on transfection study, we have demonstrated that overexpression of both Fer and IRS-1 can induce Fer/IRS-1/P85 complexes without insulin stimulation and SH2 domain of Fer is essential for this complex. We have also demonstrated that Fer was an efficient substrate for insulin receptor kinase. Taken together, these data suggested that Fer may play a critically important role to form Fer/IRS-1/P85 complex in LDM of insulin-stimulated adipocytes and elicit biological effect through PI-3 kinase activity in LDM.
