The protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 is an important regulator of the Janus kinase-2 (Jak2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat) pathway downstream of the cytokine/prolactin receptor family. We report that SHP-2 dephosphorylates tyrosine (Tyr-1007) of Jak2 kinase, a critical recruitment site for the ubiquitin ligase-associated inhibitory protein suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1), thereby contributing to Jak2 stability. Inactivation of SHP-2 function by blocking receptor/SHP-2 association or by using a catalytically inactive mutant of SHP-2 led to a marked increase in Jak2 ubiquitination/degradation, Jak2 phosphorylation on Tyr-1007, and Jak2/SOCS-1 association. Furthermore, functional studies indicate that modulating the interaction of Jak2/SOCS-1 by SHP-2 is essential for prolactin/Stat5-mediated signaling. Together our results provide a novel function for SHP-2 as a positive regulator of cytokine receptor signaling by regulating ubiquitination/degradation pathways.
