Abstract

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors were characterized in glycoprotein fractions prepared by wheat germ agglutinin-agarose affinity chromatography from the ovaries of carp. Insulin-specific overall binding in carp ovaries was 6- to 11-fold lower than IGF-I binding (2.7 +/- 0.48% vs. 22.8 +/- 3.6% per 20 microg glycoprotein). Cold IGF-I displaced radiolabeled IGF-I binding in doses 1000- to 3000-fold lower than cold insulin. On the other hand, cold insulin displaced radiolabeled insulin binding at concentrations 5- to 30-fold lower than cold IGF-I. The alpha-subunit molecular masses of carp insulin and IGF-I receptors were smaller than the alpha-subunit molecular mass of rat insulin receptor (125 and 120 vs. 135 kDa, respectively). Autophosphorylation of carp beta-subunit insulin and IGF-I receptors showed similar molecular masses that did not differ from the molecular mass of rat insulin beta subunit. Receptor tyrosine kinase activity was stimulated in a dose-dependent manner by insulin and IGF-I. Insulin and IGF-I stimulated tyrosine kinase activity and reached a maximum, respectively, of 224 +/- 14% and 279 +/- 7% of basal phosphorylation. Insulin and IGF-I binding characteristics were measured through ...Continue Reading

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
