摘要
The docking protein Gab1 has been implicated as a mediator of multiple signaling pathways that are activated by a variety of receptor tyrosine kinases and cytokines. We have previously proposed that fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of Gab1 and recruitment of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase are mediated by an indirect mechanism in which the docking protein fibroblast receptor substrate 2alpha (FRS2alpha) plays a critical role. In this report, we explore the role of Gab1 in FGF1 signaling by using mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from Gab1(-/-) or FRS2alpha(-/-) mice. We demonstrate that Gab1 is essential for FGF1 stimulation of both PI3-kinase and the antiapoptotic protein kinase Akt, while FGF1-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) stimulation is not affected by Gab1 deficiency. To test the indirect mechanism for FGF1 stimulation of PI 3-kinase and Akt, we use a chimeric docking protein composed of the membrane targeting signal and the phosphotyrosine-binding domain of FRS2a fused to the C-terminal portion of Gab1, the region including the binding sites for the complement of signaling proteins that are recruited by Gab1. We demonstrate that expression of the chimeric docking protein in Gab1(-/-) MEFs rescues PI3-kinase and the Akt responses, while expression of the chimeric docking protein in FRS2alpha(-/-) MEFs rescues stimulation of both Akt and MAPK. These experiments underscore the essential role of Gab1 in FGF1 stimulation of the PI3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway and provide further support for the indirect mechanism for FGF1 stimulation of PI3-kinase involving regulated assembly of a multiprotein complex.
