Popis: The protein tyrosine kinase p56lck and other members of the src family can transduce signals from activated cell-surface receptors. As we showed earlier the GTPase-activating protein (GAP), a regulator of p21ras, is a substrate of p56lck. Here, tryptic peptides of p56lck-phosphorylated GAP were generated and analyzed by two-dimensional thin layer chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Results revealed that p56lck phosphorylates GAP specifically on Tyr-460 in vitro and in vivo. The effect of tyrosine phosphorylation of GAP on its GTPase-activating activity versus p21ras was then tested using a p21ras-dependent GTPase assay system. Our results demonstrate that p56lck-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of GAP is not sufficient to change directly its effect on the intrinsic GTPase activity of p21ras.
