Abstract

We previously have shown that insulin treatment of cells greatly increases the activity of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase in immunoprecipitates made with an antibody to phosphotyrosine. However, the association of PI 3-kinase activity with the activated insulin receptor is not significant under these conditions. In the present study, we have attempted to reconstitute the association of PI 3-kinase activity with the activated insulin receptor in vitro. PI 3-kinase activity does indeed associate with the autophosphorylated insulin receptor in our in vitro system. The autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor and/or its associated conformational change appear to be necessary for the association of PI 3-kinase activity with the receptor, since kinase negative receptor failed to bind PI 3-kinase activity. After binding, PI 3-kinase or its associated protein seems to be released from the activated receptor after the completion of its tyrosine phosphorylation by the receptor. Tyr960 in the juxtamembrane region of the insulin receptor beta-subunit seems to be involved in the association of PI 3-kinase activity with the receptor, but not C terminus region of the beta-subunit including two tyrosine autophosphorylation sites (Tyr1316 and Tyr1322). The in vitro assay system for the association of PI 3-kinase activity with the insulin receptor can be utilized to study the mechanism of interaction of these molecules and will be an useful method to detect other associated molecules with the insulin receptor.
