Hrs (hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) and STAM (signal-transducing adaptor molecule) form a heterodimeric complex that associates with endosomal membranes and is tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to a variety of growth factors including EGF (epidermal growth factor), HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) and PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor). Phosphorylation of the Hrs-STAM complex requires receptor endocytosis. We show that an intact UIM (ubiquitin interaction motif) within Hrs is a conserved requirement for Hrs phosphorylation downstream of both EGF and HGF stimulations. Consistent with this, expression of a dominant-negative form of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, c-Cbl, inhibits EGF- and HGF-dependent Hrs phosphorylation. Despite this conservation, kinase inhibitor pro-files using PP1 (4-amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidine) and SU6656 indicate that distinct non-receptor tyrosine kinases couple EGF, HGF and PDGF stimulation with the tyrosine phosphorylation of the Hrs-STAM complex. Crucially, analysis with phospho-specific antibodies indicates that these kinases generate a signal-specific, combinatorial phosphorylation profile of the Hrs-STAM complex, with the potential of diversifying tyrosine kinase receptor signalling through a common element.
