A novel 55-kDa regulatory subunit for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase structurally similar to p55PIK Is generated by alternative splicing of the p85alpha gene
Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, which is composed of a 110-kDa catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit, plays important roles in various cellular signaling mechanisms. We screened a rat brain cDNA expression library with 32P-labeled human IRS-1 protein and cloned cDNAs that were very likely to be generated by alternative splicing of p85alpha gene products. These cDNAs were demonstrated to encode a 55-kDa protein (p55alpha) containing two SH2 domains and an inter-SH2 domain of p85alpha but neither a bcr domain nor a SH3 homology domain. Interestingly, p55 alpha contains a unique 34-amino acid sequence at its NH2 terminus, which is not included in the p85alpha amino acid sequence. This 34-amino acid portion was revealed to be comparable with p55PIK (p55gamma) in length, with a high homology between the two, suggesting that these NH2-terminal domains of p55alpha and p5 gamma may have a specific role that p85 does not. The expression of p55alpha mRNA is most abundant in the brain, but expression is ubiquitous in most rat tissues. Furthermore, it should be noted that the expression of p85alpha mRNA in muscle is almost undetectably low by Northern blotting with a cDNA probe coding for the p85alpha SH3 domain, while the expression of p55alpha can be readily detected. These results suggest that p55 alpha may play an unique regulatory role for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in brain and muscle.
