Summary

  1. 1.

    Antiphosphotyrosine antibodies were used to detect phosphotyrosine-containing proteins in immunoblots of bovine chromaffin cell proteins.

  2. 2.

    Unstimulated cells exhibited two major phosphotyrosine-containing proteins, which hadM r 's of 121,000 and 70,000. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) had little effect on the phosphotyrosine content of these two proteins but greatly increased the phosphotyrosine content of three other proteins ofM r 185,000, 170,000, and 96,000. These proteins were found predominantly in the particulate fraction of cell homogenates.

  3. 3.

    The effects of the IGF-I were time and concentration dependent, with maximal increases in phosphorylation occurring after 1 min of treatment with 10 nM IGF-I. Na3VO4, an inhibitor of phosphotyrosine phosphatases, potentiated the effects of IGF-I.

  4. 4.

    Thus, the IGF-I receptor appears to function as an IGF-I-activated protein tyrosine kinase in chromaffin cells. The tyrosine kinase activity of the IGF-I receptor presumably mediates the effects of IGF-I on chromaffin cell function.
