A Rapamycin-Sensitive Pathway Down-Regulates Insulin Signaling via Phosphorylation and Proteasomal Degradation of Insulin Receptor Substrate-1

Open access
Haruta, T.·2000·Molecular Endocrinology

Abstract

Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is a major substrate of the insulin receptor and acts as a docking protein for Src homology 2 domain containing signaling molecules that mediate many of the pleiotropic actions of insulin. Insulin stimulation elicits serine/threonine phosphorylation of IRS-1, which produces a mobility shift on SDS-PAGE, followed by degradation of IRS-1 after prolonged stimulation. We investigated the molecular mechanisms and the functional consequences of these phenomena in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. PI 3-kinase inhibitors or rapamycin, but not the MEK inhibitor, blocked both the insulin-induced electrophoretic mobility shift and degradation of IRS-1. Adenovirus-mediated expression of a membrane-targeted form of the p110 subunit of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase (p110CAAX) induced a mobility shift and degradation of IRS-1, both of which were inhibited by rapamycin. Lactacystin, a specific proteasome inhibitor, inhibited insulin-induced degradation of IRS-1 without any effect on its electrophoretic mobility. Inhibition of the mobility shift did not significantly affect tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 or downstream insulin signaling. In contrast, blockade of IRS-1 degradation resulted in sustained activation of Akt, p70 S6 kinase, and mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase during prolonged insulin treatment. These results indicate that insulin-induced serine/threonine phosphorylation and degradation of IRS-1 are mediated by a rapamycin-sensitive pathway, which is downstream of PI 3-kinase and independent of ras/MAP kinase. The pathway leads to degradation of IRS-1 by the proteasome, which plays a major role in down-regulation of certain insulin actions during prolonged stimulation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
