Replacement of insulin receptor tyrosine residues 1162 and 1163 compromises insulin-stimulated kinase activity and uptake of 2-deoxyglucose

Abstract

Insulin stimulates the autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues of the β subunit of the insulin receptor (IR); this modified insulin-independent kinase has increased activity toward exogenous substrates in vitro. We show here that replacement of one or both of the twin tyrosines (residues 1162 and 1163) with phenylalanine results in a dramatic reduction in or loss of insulin-activated autophosphorylation and kinase activity in vitro. In vivo, these mutations not only result in a substantial decrease in insulin-stimulated IR autophosphorylation but also in a parallel decrease in the insulin-activated uptake of 2-deoxyglucose. Furthermore, a truncated IR protein (lacking the last 112 amino acids) has an unstable β subunit; this mutant has no kinase activity in vitro or in vivo and does not mediate insulin-stimulated uptake of 2-deoxyglucose. IR autophosphorylation is thus implicated in the regulation of IR activities, with tyrosines 1162 and 1163 as major sites of this regulation.

      A strong signal was observed at the expected molecular weight (~100 kDa) in WT, but not in Insr1345H/H KI mice (Figure 2A). Phosphorylation of Y1179 and Y1180, a pair of residues required for insulin-activated kinase activity and uptake of 2-deoxyglucose [5], was not consistently different in the livers of Insr1345H/H mouse when compared with those of WT animals (Figure 2A). Phosphorylation of AKT, a key downstream of mediator of insulin signaling [21], was similar in WT and Insr1345H/H KI mice (Figure 2A).

      Once insulin binds to the extracellular α-chains of the insulin receptor (InsR), the receptor undergoes autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues at Tyr1158, Tyr1162, and Tyr1163 in the activating loop (A-loop) of the insulin receptor kinase (IRK) domain located in the cytoplasmic portion of the β-chains. The subsequent conformational change of the IRK segment enhances kinase activity (Ellis et al., 1986; Rosen, Herrera, Olowe, Petruzzelli, & Cobb, 1983). In the presence of increased insulin receptor serine phosphorylation results in decreased IRK activity (Dunaif, Xia, Book, Schenker, & Tang, 1995; Takayama, White, & Kahn, 1988) or the lack of insulin-stimulation, the un-phosphorylated Tyr1162 residues of the A-loop may compete with ATP and protein substrates to bind at the active site of the kinase domain to lead to an overall loss of phosphorylation and inhibition of full kinase activation (Hubbard, Wei, Ellis, & Hendrickson, 1994).
