Recruitment of the protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 to the C-terminal tyrosine of the prolactin receptor and to the adaptor protein Gab2.

The protein-tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 modulates signaling events through receptor tyrosine kinases and cytokine receptors including the receptor for prolactin (PRLR). Here we investigated mechanisms of SHP-2 recruitment within the PRLR signaling complex. Using SHP-2 and PRLR immunoprecipitation studies in 293 cells and in the mouse mammary epithelial cell line HC11, ...
we found that SHP-2 co-immunoprecipitates with the PRLR and that the C-terminal tyrosine of the PRLR plays a regulatory role in both the tyrosine phosphorylation and the recruitment of SHP-2. Our results further indicate that SHP-2 association to the PRLR occurs via the C-terminal SH2 domain of the phosphatase. In addition, we determined that the newly identified adaptor protein Gab2, but not Gab1, is specifically tyrosine phosphorylated and is able to recruit SHP-2 and phosphatidyinositol 3-kinase in response to PRLR activation. Together, these studies suggest the presence of dual recruitment sites for SHP-2; the first is to the C-terminal tyrosine of the PRLR and the second is to the adaptor protein Gab2.
