Introduction

The importance of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in growth, differentiation and cytoskeletal integrity has been well established over the past decade. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PIPS), enzymes that hydro- lyze phosphotyrosyl groups, were initially considered to play ‘housekeeping’ roles by returning the tyrosine phosphorylation state of target substrates back to basal levels. This overly simplistic view now seems to be incorrect, since a number of PTPs have been shown to regulate integral components of signal transduc- tion pathways (for recent reviews, see 11”,2*,3**1). PTPs have been implicated in tumor suppression 14,5,6’,7-91, cytoskeletal reorganization llO*“,ll*l, de- velopment and differentiation 112**,13,14**1, mitotic induction [15g,16,17*l, T-cell activation 118.1, and in growth factor 119’-21*,22-241, somatostatin 1251 and in- terferon [26”,27*1 signaling pathways. This review will focus on recent advances in understanding the function of receptor-like PTP extracellular domains, as well as the role of specific ‘zip code’ domains that govern in- tracellular PTP subcellular localization.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase structural domains

PTPs can be separated into two major groups: trans- membrane receptor-like PTPs (Fig. 11, and intracellular PTPs (Fig. 2). All PTPs possess at least one catalytic do- main of approximately 250 amino acids which contains the ‘active site’ signature motif WV)HCXAGMCRWT)G (in the one-letter amino acid code, where X can be any amino acid) 13”,28”1. Studies using chemical modifl- cation and site-directed mutagenesis have established

that the cysteinyl residue within this consensus motif is essential for phosphatase activity, forming a thio- phosphate enzyme intermediate necessary for cataly- sis 1291. This catalytic domain is unique to PTPs, bear- ing little resemblance to the catalytic domains of ser- ine/threonine protein phospahatases, alkaline protein phosphatases, or acid protein phosphatases.

The receptor-like PTPs (Fig. 1) possess an extracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain, and usually two intracellular PTP catalytic domains. The first intra- cellular PTP domain generally accounts for the majority of catalytic activity, while the second domain is inac- tive or (in some cases) weakly active 130°1. The only transmembrane PTPs containing a single catalytic do- main are human (H) PTPB and Drosophila (D) PTPlOD 131-331. Receptor-like PTPs can be further subdivided into five types on the basis of common features found in the extracellular domain [l”l. Type I is represented by the CD45 family, exhibiting multiple isoforms aris- ing from differential splicing of sequences at the amino terminus 1341. Type II members (e.g. LAR, HPTPK, and HPTPl,t) contain tandem repeats of immunoglobulin- like and libronectin type III-like domains resembling neural cell adhesion molecules 135,36,37*1. Type III members bear multiple fibronectin type III-like repeats (e.g. DPTPlO and DPTP99A) [32,33,381. HITPa and HPTP& represent type IV isoforms, possessing small glycosylated segments 131,391. Type V constituents in- clude HPTP< and IWIPy, which exhibit amino-termi- nal carbonic anhydrase-like domains [40,41’1. Although the structural features of the receptor-like PTPs suggest that they may bind ligands, no ‘ligand’ interaction has yet been identified. However, the extracellular domain of a receptor-like PTP has recently been shown to mediate cell-cell aggregation via homophilic binding [42-,43-l.

Intracellular PTPs (Fig. 2) possess a single catalytic do- main with flanking regions that often contain amino acid sequences which direct the enzyme to specific intracellular locations. These zip code sequences can target PTPs to the endoplasmic reticulum (e.g. PTPlB) 144,45*1, to the nucleus (e.g. DPTPblF) [46..1, or per- haps result in their rapid degradation (e.g. PTP-PEST) [47'1. Several amino-terminal structural motifs have been identified that may direct intracellular PTPs to interact with cytoskeletal proteins (e.g. HPTPMegl, HPTPHl) 148,491 or with phosphotyrosine-containing proteins via Src homology 2 (SH2) domains (e.g. PTPlC, SH-PTP2) [50,51’].

Transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatases and extracellular domain interactions

CD45 The receptor-like structure of transmembrane PTPs suggests that they may interact with ligands. CD45,

Fig. 1. Transmembrane receptor-like PTPs. The members of this family of PTPs possess a single transmembrane domain, and one or two intracellular PTP cat- alytic domains (black bar). They can be subdivided into five types on the ba- sis of their extracellular domain struc- tures: I, for example CD45; II, for ex- ample LAR and HPTPp; III, for example DPTPl OD and DPTP99A; IV, for example PlPTPa; and V, for example HPTP( and HPTpr [l**]. The extracellular domain structures are shown: amino terminus isoforms (horizontal lines) resulting from differential splicing; immunoglobulin-like (vertical lines); fibronectin type Ill-like (shaded bar); MAM adhesive protein homology-like (diagonal lines); and car- bonic anhydrase-like (stippled).

the first transmembrane PTP to be identified 1341, has served as a model for understanding the function of the receptor-like PTPs. CD45 plays a role in T-cell recep- tor (TCR) mediated signal transduction and has been shown to reconstitute TCR signaling in CD45-deficient T cells [18*,521. In an effort to determine whether the extracellular domain of CD45 influences its function in TCR signal transduction, Desai et al. [53"1 constructed a chimera of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) recep- tor extracellular domain and the CD45 intracellular do- main. The expression of this chimera in CD45-deficient T-cells restored TCR signal transduction (measured as intracellular calcium flux), indicating that the extracel- lular domain of CD45 is not absolutely required for TCR signaling. When EGF was added, TCR signaling was inhibited. The coexpression of a truncated EGF receptor (missing its cytoplasmic domain) with the EGF receptor/CD45 chimera restored TCR signaling. This suggests that the chimera may dimerite on ad- dition of EGF, resulting in inactivation of intracellular PTP activity. Expression of sufficient truncated EGF receptor would presumably prevent chimera self-as-

Carboxy-terminal domains can target PTPs to the endoplasmic reticulum (stippled) for PTP 16, to the nucleus (shaded box) for DPTP6lF, or result in their rapid degradation (vertical lines) for PTP-PEST.

sociation. Data have also been published suggesting that CD45 is tyrosine-phosphorylated following TCR activation 1541. The specific effects of phosphorylation are unknown. It has been proposed that endogenous ligand-induced dimerization of CD45 may lead to trans- dephosphorylation and functional inactivation, anal- ogous to the dimerization, transphosphorylation and activation of receptor protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) 1551.

Cell adhesion molecule-like protein tyrosine phosphatases Type II receptor-like Ill’s share extracellular domain similarities to cell adhesion molecules (CAMS). PTI’p and 1vK contain one immunoglobulin-like domain and four libronectin type III repeats 136,371. In ad- dition, they both contain an ‘MAM’ (meprin, A5, cl> motif amino-terminal to the immunoglobulin-like do- main. MAM motifs span approximately 170 amino acids and contain four conserved cysteines that may form disulfide bridges [56'1. The function of this domain is unknown. However, the MAM motif occurs in sev- eral diverse transmembrane adhesion proteins (e.g. A5 and meprin) and may therefore contribute ‘adhesive’ properties to I’TI’p and ITPK.

The sequence similarity of type II PTI’s to CAMS has led researchers to suggest that these I’TI’s also promote homophilic binding. Expression of full-length I’TI’p in SF9 insect cells results in cell aggregation, suggesting that 1’TIQ.t may mediate this process [42”,43”1. The expression of cytoplasmic domain-deleted constructs indicates that PTP catalytic activity is not required for the observed adhesion; only the extracellular domain is essential for cell-cell interactions. This was further substantiated by the observation that purified extracel-

lular domain conjugated to resin beads can mediate bead-bead adhesion. Work from Schlessinger’s labo- ratory, reported in a ‘research news’ article in Science [57”1, indicates that the closely related molecule M’PK also displays homophilic adhesive properties [57”1. When cells expressing PTPp are mixed with cells ex- pressing PTPK, the cells segregate and adhere in a homophilic fashion. This shows that although PTpp and M’PK are structurally very similar, they display a high degree of specificity in their cell-cell adhesion. In addition, structurally similar L4R is not known to undergo homophilic interactions.

Carbonic anhydrase-like protein tyrosine phosphatases Type V transmembrane PTPs contain a carbonic an- hydrase (CA)-like domain in the amino-terminal 300 amino acids of their extracellular domain. These PTIJS include the neural-specific human Ml’< [401, mouse RPTPB i58.1, rat PTI’18 ([59l; RJ Mourey, KL Guan, un- published data), and RFTPy [41*1, which is expressed in kidney, brain and lung. The CA domains of these PTI’s are 25-40% identical to the seven isotypes of CA. It is unlikely that this domain functions as a car- bonic anhydrase, since two of the three essential his- tidy1 residues required for catalysis are missing. Rather, the overall structure of the CA domain may be utilized for ligand binding. Indeed, computer modeling of this domain and comparison with the crystal structure of CA indicates that 11 of the 19 residues that form the active site of CA are conserved [41*1. Interestingly, the type V ITS show the same degree of identity to CA as does the vaccinia virus transmembrane protein D8 over almost its entire external domain, lacking two of the three catalytically required histidines [6Ol. Evi- dence suggests that the function of D8 is adsorption of the vaccinia virus to cell surfaces [6ll. The shared homology between Gaccinia D8 and this subclass of PTPs suggests that the D8 binding site may be a po- tential ligand for these PTI’s.

Targeting of intracellular protein tyrosine phosphatases to specific subcellular locations

SH2 domains The Src homology 2 (SH2) domain is a conserved se- quence motif of approximately 100 amino acids that promotes interactions between cytoplasmic signaling molecules and specific phosphotyrosyl residues on ac- tivated (i.e. autophosphorylated) growth factor recep- tors or other signaling molecules. These interactions bring the appropriate signaling components of mito- genie pathways together [62**,6Y,641. Over the past two years, several new PTPs that contain two SH2 domains in their amino-terminal regions have been identified. These include PTI’IC [501 and its homologs (SH-PTPl 1651, HCP 1661 and SHP [bfl), which are ex- pressed predominantly in hematopoietic cells. More ubiquitously expressed SHZcontaining I’Tl’s include

SH-MP2 El*1 and its homologs (Syp &%Pl, PTPlD [69”1, PTPZC [701, and SH-PTP31711).- -

Evidence that these SH2-1’TPs~may play a role in signal transduction comes from the characterization of two developmental genes, Hcph 114**,721 and corkscrew (csw) 173”l. Mice homozygous for the recessive al- lelic mutation motheaten display severe hematopoi- etic abnormalities [14”,721. These mutations were re- cently localized to the Hcph gene, which encodes the SHZ-containing 1”Il’ hematopoietic cell protein phos- phatase 1661. Abnormalities in this protein may lead to defective signaling in hematopoiesis. Further evi- dence for the role of SH2-PTI’s in signal transduction is provided by the Drosophila gene csw. This gene en- codes an SHZ-Ml’ that functions in the terminal class signal transduction pathway essential for normal de- velopment of anterior and posterior segments of the Drosophila embryo 173”l. Genetic experiments sug- gest that csw interacts with polehole (the Drosophila homolog of c-raf, 1741 to transduce signals generated from the receptor PTK torso (a I’DGF receptor homo- log) 1751. The csw protein has high sequence identity with SH-PTP2 and may share functional similarities as well 176’1.

The exact nature of the interaction of SHZcontain- ing IJTI’s with PTKs to positively transduce signals is unclear, although several possible models have been suggested 176’1. One possibility is that the amino-termi- nal SH2 domain of the PTI’ binds an activated growth factor receptor (GFR), allowing the second SH2 do- main to bind other phosphotyrosyl proteins. In this way, the PTI’ is acting to bring proteins to the GFR for further phosphorylation, or to participate in other protein-protein interactions. In an alternative model, SHZ-binding of I’TI’s to GFRs may allow the PTI’ to dephosphorylate nearby phosphotyrosyl-regulated proteins. For example, activation of the insulin receptor results in the association of Syp with tyrosine-phospho- rylated insulin receptor substrate 1, a protein participat- ing in the insulin receptor signaling pathway 177’1. In addition, the proximal I’TI’ may dephosphorylate and inactivate GFRs, thus terminating signal transduction. It is important to realize, however, that these two models may not be mutually exclusive

A third mechanism of SHZI’TP-mediated GFR sig- nal transduction has been suggested by more re- cent results. In this model, the SH2 domains facilitate PTP-GFR interaction, whereupon the PTI’ is subse- quently tyrosine-phosphorylated. The phosphorylated MI’ could then interact with other SHZ-containing pro- teins in signal transduction. In addition, tyrosine phos- phorylation may increase 1’TI’ catalytic activity, poten- tially increasing the dephosphorylation of downstream effector molecules. Both Syp and PTI’lD were shown to associate in vivo with activated I’DGF and EGF re- ceptors [68*,69..1. Both 1’TI’s failed to dephosphory- late the GFR, .but were themselves tyrosine-phospho- rylated. I’hosphorylation of SH2-PTI’s may be required for interaction with receptor tyrosine kinases and other signaling molecules 168’,69”,76’,78’1. In the case of

PTPID, phosphorylation is correlated with a small in- crease in I’TI’ catalytic activity in vitro [69”1. These findings indicate that SH2-FTPs may interact with PTKs, not simply to inactivate the GFR, but rather to work in concert with the GFR to regulate the phosphorylation state of signal transduction effector molecules.

Nuclear-targeting domains Recently, several I’TPs were shown to localize to the nucleus [46”,79’1, which is intriguing given the sug- gested functional role of I’TI’s in cell cycle regula- tion and gene transcription [15*,16,26”,27*1. In the case of the Drosophila I’TI’ Dl’TI’61F, alternative splic- ing can produce two different carboxy-terminal zip codes directing the PTI’ to alternative locations 179’1. Expression of each alternatively spliced form in COS-1 cells indicated that the form possessing a highly ba- sic 11 amino acid carboxyl terminus was directed to the nucleus. The other Dl’TI’61F species, con- taining a carboxy-terminal splice of 24 hydrophobic amino acids, was localized to a ‘reticular’ network and mitochondria-like organelles within the cell. The sub- strate specificities of the nuclear and membrane 1’TI’s were indistinguishable, as expected, since they share the identical catalytic domain. This underlines the fact that subcellular location can define and restrict the sub- strate specificity of PTI’ases within the cell.

Endoplasmic reticulum-targeting domains 1’TI’lB was originally purified from placental tissue as a soluble 39 kDa protein [Sol. However, the molecular cloning of rat and human I’TI’lB predicted a SO kDa protein containing a hydrophobic carboxyl terminus 181,821. Frangioni et al. 1441 and Woodford-Thomas and co-workers 145.1 showed that full length PTI’lB is nor- mally localized to the endoplasmic reticulum in cells and that this localization is dictated by the carboxy-ter- minal 35 amino acids. Expression of carboxy-terminal truncated I’TI’lB results in a soluble enzyme. I’TI’lB can be released from the endoplasmic reticulum partic- ulate fraction by trypsinitation. The targeting of PTI’s to the endoplasmic reticulum via their hydrophobic car- boxy1 terminus may result in limited substrate availabil- ity and act to keep PTI’s in reserve until a cellular stim- ulus induces translocation of the PTI’ to the cytoplasm by carboxy-terminal proteolysis. Such an agonist-medi- ated stimulation of proteolysis and subsequent release of soluble PTI’ is observed in platelets [83’]. Activation of platelets by mixing, thrombin, or antibody engage- ment of the fibrinogen receptor gpIIb-IIIa, results in the activation of calpain, a calcium-dependent neu- tral protease. Activated calpain then cleaves I’TI’lB between its catalytic domain and its membrane-anchor- ing carboxyl terminus, resulting in a soluble I’TI’. The cleavage of PTI’lB correlates with irreversible platelet aggregation 183’1. In addition, cleavage and subcellu- lar relocation of PTI’lB results in a twofold stimu- lation of its enzymatic activity and an altered pattern of phosphotyrosyl-substrate dephosphorylation [83*].

Protein tvrosine phosphatases Mourev and Dixon 35

Dual specificity tyrosine/serine protein phosphatases

The first member of the class of dual specificity PTPs was identified in vaccinia virus 1841. This phosphatase, VHl, is a small (20 kDa) soluble phosphatase (Fig. 2) that dephosphorylates both phosphotyrosine- and phosphoserine-containing substrates. VHl-like phos- phatases have also been identified in smallpox variola virus, several orthopoxviruses and baculovirus 1851. In mammals, several VHl-like phosphatases have been cloned and shown to be induced as immediate-early genes. The synthesis of human T-cell PAC-1 179’1, hu- man CL100 1861 and the mouse homolog 3CH134 120’1 is induced by serum growth factors and oxidative or heat stress. In addition, a yeast VI-D-like phosphatase has been shown to be induced upon nitrogen starva- tion 1871.

Serum growth factors activate transmembrane protein tyrosine kinases 1881. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) has been shown to be a major compo- nent of the signaling pathway involved in transducing the signal from activated I’TKs to downstream effec- tor molecules 1891. MAP kinase (~42) is activated by phosphorylation on Thr183 and Tyr185 by MAP kinase kinase 1901. The dual specificity phosphatases appear to dephosphorylate activated MAP kinase. Transcrip- tion of 3CH134 VFD-like phosphatase is rapidly in- duced by mitogenic stimulation, and synthesis occurs within the first hour 120’1. 3CH134 dephosphorylates Thr183 and Tyr185 on activated MAP kinase both in vitro and in vivo 191**1. In serum-stimulated iibrob- lasts, the inactivation of MAI’ kinase coincides with the new synthesis of 3CH134 [91**1. Expression of 3CH134 in COS cells blocks serum-stimulation of MAP kinase, while the expression of a catalytically inactive 3CH134 augments MAP kinase phosphorylation. In addition, in- active 3CH134 can be immunoprecipitated with phos- phorylated MAP kinase demonstrating a physical inter- action 191**1. These findings suggest that 3CH134 may be the physiological MAP kinase phosphate.

Conclusions

With the recent characterization of receptor-like I’TP homophilic interactions, investigators can begin to ap- proach the problem of understanding how these cata- lysts regulate signal processing during cell-cell contact. In addition, the characterization of intracellular I’TP tar- geting domains will allow researchers to begin to de- termine how the substrate specificity of these enzymes is controlled. Characterization of targeting domains will also provide clues about PTP localization and function in the cellular landscape.
