The possibility that inositolphosphatase differs from other intestinal phosphatases was tested by comparing several enzymatic characteristics of phosphatase activities of rat intestinal homogenate acting on various specific substrates. Optimum pH and temperature, Km, Vmax, heat stability, inhibition and metal ion requirement studies suggest that inositolphosphatase differs from phytase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase. Furthermore, we found that inositolphosphatase activity was about 2 times higher in duodenum and jejunum than ileum. It sedimented (90-100%) with a high-speed particulate fraction of mucosal homogenate; 42% of the activity was separated with the brush border membrane isolated from mucosal homogenate. Partial separation by gel filtration on Sephadex G200 and chromatography on phenyl Sepharose CL 4B provided additional evidence to suggest that inositolphosphatase and phytase are different enzymes.

Tyrosine kinase receptors lead to rapid activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase) and the subsequent formation of phosphatidylinositides (PtdIns) 3,4-P2 and PtdIns 3,4, 5-P3, which are thought to be involved in signaling for glucose transporter GLUT4 translocation, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and DNA synthesis. However, the specific role of each of these PtdIns in insulin and growth factor signaling is still mainly unknown. Therefore, we assessed, in the current study, the effect of SH2-containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP) expression on these biological effects.

Although studies with truncated erythropoietin receptors (EpoRs) have suggested the tyrosine phosphorylation (Yphos) of the EpoR may not play a significant role in Epo-induced proliferation, we found, using a full length EpoR mutant designed Null, in which all 8 of the intracellular tyrosines (Ys) were substituted with phenylalanines (Fs), that Null cells required 5-10 fold more Epo than wild type (WT) EpoR containing cells in order to proliferate as well. Moreover, a comparison of Epo-induced proliferation with Epo-induced Yphos patterns, using DA-3 cells expressing WT, Null and various Y to F EpoR point mutants revealed that Stat5 Yphos and activation correlated directly with proliferation and was mediated primarily throuhg the most membrane proximal Y, i.e.
