Crk family adaptor proteins trans-activate c-Abl kinase

T Shishido, T Akagi, A Chalmers, M Maeda, T Terada, MM Georgescu, and H Hanafusa

BACKGROUND: c-Abl kinase is activated in response to a variety of biological stimuli. Crk family adaptor proteins can interact physically with c-Abl and be involved in the activation of c-Abl kinase. RESULTS: We report that the Crk family of adaptor proteins act as trans-acting activators of c-Abl kinase. The interaction of the amino-terminal Src-homology (SH) 3 domain of c-Crk and the proline-rich motifs of c-Abl is an essential step for the phosphorylation of c-Crk by c-Abl, as well as the activation of c-Abl by c-Crk. The activation of c-Abl by c-Crk is negatively regulated by phosphorylation of the tyrosine 221 of c-Crk. Our data suggest that, in the absence of phosphorylation of the tyrosine Y221, the SH2 domain of c-Crk becomes free to bind to target molecules while the carboxyl-terminal SH3 domain of c-Crk binds to the proline-rich region of c-Abl, inducing the activation of c-Abl by c-Crk. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the Crk family functions as trans-acting activators of c-Abl kinase. The phosphorylation of c-Crk may regulate c-Abl kinase.
