Abstract

When receptors must interact with an extrinsic kinase to initiate signaling, the kinase can play a regulatory role that is not available to intrinsic receptor kinases. Whether control is exercised at this level depends critically on the amount of kinase available to the receptors and on the potential for redistribution of the kinase during signaling. This study demonstrates that the high affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilonRI) on rat basophilic leukemia cells is regulated by its initiating kinase. We present a mathematical model that allows for the reversible recruitment of extrinsic kinases to phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs. By comparing model predictions to experimental time courses of phosphorylation, we infer that Lyn is limiting, that redistribution occurs after receptors are aggregated, and that the redistribution makes the relationship between tyrosine phosphorylation and receptor aggregation nonlinear.

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.
