phorylated and associated withthe adaptor protein Grb2. The latter, composed entirely of one SH2 and two SH3 domains (141, is thought to provide coupling between (via its SH2 domain) tyrosine phosphorylation sites associated with activated tyrosine kinases or their substrates, and (via its SH3 domains) has downstream effectors. Genetic and biochemical evidence identified theSos protein, a guanine-nucleotide releasing factor for Ras, as a major effector for Grb2.Thus, Grb2 couples tyrosine kinase activation to Ras and its downstream kinase cascade (15,16).In addition, other Grb2-SH3 domain-binding proteins have been reported (17, 18). O u r evidence that Grb2 is also associated, via its SH2 domain, with R-PTP-a suggests that this adaptor molecule may also couple a R-PTPase tocomponents of the cellular signal transduction system.

R, L6 and a-12 cells were subjected to immunoprecipitation with preimmune serum or anti-R-PTP-a antiserum 210, and the Precipitated proteins analyzed by immunoblotting with antiphosphotyrosine antibody 4G10.

130-kDa proteins, as described (6, 11).In addition, a 70-kDa protein was detected in a-12 cells with several anti-R-PTP-a antisera. Since i t is smaller than the R-PTP-a core protein, it may constitute a degradation or processing product of the 130kDa R-PTP-a protein. The different levels of R-PTP-a in both cells serve as a control in the subsequent experiments. The R-PTPase CD45 and two cytosolic PTPases have been reported to undergotyrosinephosphorylation (4, 5, 27-29). Anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblotting of total lysates revealed increased tyrosine phosphorylation of a130-kDa protein in a-12 cells as the only detectable difference with L6 cells (not shown), leading us to investigate whetherR-PTP-a was itself tyrosine-phosphorylated.Lysateswere prepared from L6 or a-12 cells and subjected to immunoprecipitationwith antiR-PTP-a antiserum. Immunoblottingof the precipitated complex with a monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosineantibody detected a 130-kDa protein in anti-R-PTP-a immunoprecipitates from L6 cells (Fig. 1B). This protein was not observed when using preimmuneserum for immunoprecipitation andwas more abundant in immunoprecipitatesfrom a-12 cells, confirming its identity as R-PTP-a. A low level of tyrosine phosphorylation was also detected in the 70-kDa R-PTP-a protein species in a-12 cells. Identical results were obtained using an antiserum against a different epitope in R-PTP-a for immunoprecipitation or using a different, polyclonal, anti-phosphotyrosineantiserum for immunoblotting (not shown). R-PTP-a Is Associated with Grh2 in Vivo-Tyrosine-phosphorylated residues can function a s docking sites for proteins containing SH2 domains,which recognize phosphotyrosine within the context of a specific amino acid sequence (16). preliminary A screening of SH2 domain containing proteins revealed that R-PTP-a could bind Grb2 in vitro (not shown). We subsequently asked whether both proteins were associated in vivo. Lysates from L6 or a-12 cells were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-Grb2 antiserum, and thewashed immune complexes were analyzed by blotting withanti-R-PTP-a antibodies. Fig. 2 shows that R-PTP-a protein was found in Grb2immunoprecipitates from L6 cells and was present a t higher levels in Grb2 immune complexes from the R-PTP-a-overexpressing clone a-12, although similar amounts of Grb2 wereprecipitated form each cell type. Anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblotting also reveals a 130-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein, comigrating with R-PTP-a, in Grb2 immune complexes. Coimmunoprecipitation of Grb2 and R-PTP-a from L6 and a-12 cells was observed using different polyclonal or monoclonal anti-Grb2 antibodies for immunoprecipitation, and with three different antiR-PTP-a antisera for immunoblotting (notshown). Association of R-PTP-a and Grb2 Requires the Grb2 SH2 Domain-To investigate themechanism of R-PTP-dGrb2 association, we performed transient coexpression in 293 cells. An

expression vector for R-PTP-a was transfected together with vectors for wild-type or mutant forms of Grb2. The Grb2-R86K protein contains a mutation in the FLVR motif in its SH2 domain, which cripples its binding activity, while the Grb2-P49L mutation affects the function of the N-terminal SH3 domain (14, 30). Althoughequal amountsof the various Grb2 proteins wereexpressed and precipitated by anti-Grb2 antiserum in these experiments (not shown), the R-PTP-a protein was not associated with transfectedGrb2-R86K beyond the extent seen with endogenous 293 Grb2 protein. Introduction of the Grb2P49L mutation lead to partially reduced association compared to wild-type Grb2 (Fig. 3A ). Thus, since mutation of the FLVR motif, which is part of the conserved phosphotyrosine binding site of SH2 domains (31),abolishes association, Grb2/R-PTP-a association is likely to involve a canonical SH2lphosphotyrosine interaction. Tyrosine-phosphorylated residues in proteins, when associated with SH2 domains, are partially protected from phosphatase actions (32). Thus,if the Grb2-SH2 domain directlyinteracts with a phosphotyrosine residue in R-PTP-a, Grb2 overexpression would be expected to lead to hyperphosphorylation of R-PTP-a. To test thisprediction, a R-PTP-a expression vector was transfected into 293 cells, alone, or together with expression vectors for Grb2, Grb2R86K, or other SH2 domain containing proteins. To avoid possible artifacts due to dephosphorylation during immunoprecipitation, the transfected cells were lysed directly in hot SDS-PAGE sample buffer and the lysates separatedby SDS-PAGE and subjected to anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblotting. This experiment (Fig. 3B) revealed the appearanceof a majornew tyrosine-phosphorylated protein of 130 kDa in cells transfected with R-PTP-a and wild-type Grb2 together. This protein migrated with a slightly higher mobility than a ubiquitous 140-kDa protein presentin all samples. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the 130-kDa protein was not observed in theabsence of cotransfected R-PTP-a, whenan R-PTP-a expression vector was cotransfectedin thepresence of the Grb2R86K mutant, or when vectors for several other SH2 domain containing proteins(Nck, Crk, and p85) were cotransfected. To confirm that the 130-kDa protein corresponded to tyrosine-phosphorylated R-PTP-a, this experiment was modified using, instead of wild-type R-PTP-a, a chimeric protein (molecular mass180 kDa) consisting of the extracellulardomain of the epidermalgrowth factor receptor fusedto the intracellular domain of R-PTP-a. In this case, a 180-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein was detected upon cotransfection with wildtype Grb2 (Fig. 3C). In Vitro Association of Grb2 with R-PTP-a-We next wished to investigate whether complex formation between R-PTP-a and Grb2 could occur in vitro. To this purpose, immobilized

FIG.3. R-PTF"dGrb2 association during transient coexpression. Expression vectors for R-PTP-a, X-B-1, wild-type Grb2, Grb2R86K, Grb2-P49L, Nck, Crk, or p85 were transiently transfected into 293 cells in various combinations.A, cells were lysed and subjected to anti-Grb2 immunoprecipitation,followed by anti-R-PTP-a immunoblotting. B , total lysates were prepared in SDS-PAGE sample buffer and subjected to anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblotting. C , a n experiment similar tothat inB was performed, using, instead of wild-type R-FTP-a, X-B-1 (a 180-kDa chimeric protein containingthe intracellular domain of R-FTP-a fused to the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the epidermal growth factor receptor). recombinant proteins corresponding t o wild-type or mutant Grb2 were allowed to equilibrate with lysatesfrom L6 or a-12 cells. After washing, the formed complexes were analyzed for the presence of R-PTP-a by immunoblotting. This experiment confirmed the in vivo results, in thatR-PTP-a protein present in the lysates bound to wild-type Grb2 and the Grb2-R86K mutation severely compromised binding. By contrast, theP49L mutation exerted only a marginal effect on complex formation (Fig. 4.4). Having an in vitroassay thatreflected the in vivobehavior of the complex, we tested the importanceof tyrosine phosphorylation of R-PTP-a for Grb2 binding. To this purpose, lysates were also prepared from a-12 cells pretreated with pervanadate to increase tyrosinephosphorylation of R-PTP-a or were prepared from the same cells in the absence of PTPase inhibitors and incubated with purified recombinant PTPase(33). Fig. 4B shows that R-FTP-aproteinisolated from pervanadatetreated cells displayed increased binding to recombinantGrb2 protein, whereas binding was abolished by PTPase treatment of the lysates. The effect of PTPase treatment of the lysates could be entirely inhibited by vanadate (data not shown). DISCUSSION

The simplest model fitting our observations involves a tyrosine-phosphorylated residue in R-PTP-a providing a binding site for the Grb2-SH2 domain. Atyrosine phosphorylation site in R-PTP-a has been mapped toT y P 'and has alsobeen shown to be required for Grb2IR-PTP-a association (34).The context of this site,YANF, is similar to otherGrb2-SH2 binding sites(24, 35). Whereas our data show that the Grb2-SH2 domain and tyrosine phosphorylation of R-PTP-a are required for complex formation, they do not allow the formal conclusion that this interaction is sufficient forcomplex formation, or direct.

tation in the SH3 domain of Grb2 appears to lead t o a small decrease inaffinity, and binding of R-PTP-a to the SH2 domain alone of Grb2 was less efficient than binding to full-length Grb2 (not shown). Whether thisreflects subtle interactions between the SH2 and SH3 domains, additional contacts between an SH3 domain of Grb2 and R-PTP-a, or the need for additional proteins to stabilize the complex, requires further study. The data have severalimplications for the understandingof R-PTPase function. First, by analogy with its role for receptor tyrosine kinases, Grb2 may allow R-PTP-a t o interact with downstream effectors or substrates, by mediating association between R-PTP-a and other proteinsor by guiding R-PTP-a to appropriate cellular locations (15,16,24,36). It is not clear yet whether R-PTP-a canrecruit a Grb2/Sos complex to the plasma membrane, thereby potentially modulating Ras function, or whether other proteins might be involved (15-18). Second, our data suggest an involvement of R-PTP-a, at physiological expression levels, in signal transductionprocesses. The ability of R-PTP-a to bind Grb2 may endow it with a function separate from its catalyticactivity. Thus, data thatR-PTP-a overexpression can induce transformation or differentiation by activating c-src may need to be viewed also in light of the function of Grb2 in Ras signaling (12-16). Third, the results raise possibility the of regulation of R-PTP-a function by tyrosine phosphorylation. Autodephosphorylation, possibly throughthegeneration of R-PTPase dimers induced by extracellular ligands, thus warrants investigation asa regulatory mechanism. Acknowledgments-We thank Drs. J.
