Attachment of Helicobacter pylori to gastric epithelial cells induces various cellular responses, including the tyrosine phosphorylation of an unknown 145-kD protein and interleukin 8 production. Here we show that this 145-kD protein is the cagA product of H. pylori, an immuno-dominant,, cytotoxin-associated antigen. Epithelial cells infected with various H. pylori clinical isolates resulted in generation of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins ranging frost 130 to 145 kD in size that were also induced in vitro by mixing host cell lysate with bacterial lysate. When epithelial cells were infected with [S-35]methionine-labeled H. pylori, a radioactive 145-kD protein was detected in the immunoprecipitates with antiphosphotyrosine antibody or anti-CagA (cytotoxin-associated gene A) antibody. Consistently, the 145-kD protein recognized by the anti-CagA and antiphosphotyrosine antibodies was induced in epithelial cells after infection of wildtype H. pylori bur not the cagA::Km mutant. Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of the phosphorylated 145-kD protein induced by H. pylori infection was identical to the H. pylon CagA sequence. These results reveal that the tyrosine-phosphorylated 145-kD protein is H. pylori CagA protein, which may be delivered from attached bacteria into the host cytoplasm. The identification of the tyrosine-phosphorylated protein will thus provide further insights into understanding the precise roles of CagA protein in H. pylori pathogenesis.
