Abstract
In a screen for 3T3-F442A adipocyte proteins that bind SH2 domains, we isolated a cDNA encoding Fer, a nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase of the Fes/Fps family that contains a functional SH2 domain. A truncated splicing variant, iFer, was also cloned. iFer is devoid of both the tyrosine kinase domain and a functional SH2 domain but displays a unique 42-residue C terminus and retains the ability to form oligomers with Fer. Expression of both Fer and iFer proteins are strikingly increased upon differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts to adipocytes. Platelet-derived growth factor treatment of the cultured adipocytes caused rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of Fer and its recruitment to complexes containing platelet-derived growth factor receptor and the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase. Insulin treatment of 3T3-L1 adipocytes stimulated association of Fer with complexes containing tyrosine phosphorylated IRS-1 and PI 3-kinase but did not stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of Fer. PI 3-kinase activity in anti-Fer immunoprecipitates was also acutely activated by insulin treatment of cultured adipocytes. These data demonstrate the presence of Fer tyrosine kinase in insulin signaling complexes, suggesting a role of Fer in insulin action.
