Abstract

The data in this thesis demonstrate that phosphatidylinositol 3 '-kinase (PI 3- kinase) associates with a novel serine kinase that can phosphorylate IRS-1 and reduce its ability to act as a substrate for insulin and interferon alpha (IFNalpha) receptors. PI 3-kinase is shown to associate with a wortmannin insensitive 76 kDa serine phosphoprotein (pp76) distinct from the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. pp76 is phosphorylated by an okadaic acid sensitive, PI 3-kinase associated serine kinase (PAS kinase) with biochemical properties that distinguish it from the intrinsic serine kinase activity of PI 3-kinase and evidence suggests that PAS kinase may be pp76. PAS kinase associates with the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase through src homology 2 (SH2) domain interactions and can serine phosphorylate IRS-1 after insulin stimulation. More importantly, PAS kinase mediated IRS-1 serine phosphorylation reduced subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 by insulin receptors (IRs). Finally, under hyperinsulinernic conditions, IRS-1 serine phosphorylation by PAS kinase can reduce IFNalpha mediated IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Taken together, these data show that PAS kinase is an IRS-1 serine kinase and that PAS kinase may counter-regulate insulin and cytokine signaling.
