The low molecular weight protein-tyrosine
phosphatase (LMW-PTP) is an enzyme involved in platelet-derived growth
factor (PDGF)-induced mitogenesis and cytoskeleton
rearrangement. Our previous results demonstrated that LMW-PTP is able
to bind and dephosphorylate activated PDGF receptor, thus inhibiting
cell proliferation. Recently we have shown that LMW-PTP is specifically
phosphorylated by c-Src in a cytoskeleton-associated fraction in
response to PDGF, and this phosphorylation increases LMW-PTP activity
about 20-fold. LMW-PTP strongly influences cell adhesion, spreading,
and chemotaxis induced by PDGF stimulation, by regulating the
phosphorylation level of p190Rho-GAP, a protein that is able to
regulate Rho activity and hence cytoskeleton rearrangement. In the
present study we investigate the physiological role of the two LMW-PTP
tyrosine phosphorylation sites, using LMW-PTP mutants on tyrosine 131 or 132. We demonstrate that each tyrosine residue is involved in specific LMW-PTP functions. Both of them are phosphorylated during PDGF
signaling. Phosphorylation on tyrosine 131 influences mitogenesis, dephosphorylating activated PDGF-R and cytoskeleton rearrangement, acting on p190RhoGAP. Phosphorylation on tyrosine 132 leads to an
increase in the strength of cell substrate adhesion, down-regulating matrix metalloproteases expression, through the inhibition of Grb2/MAPK
pathway. In conclusion, LMW-PTP tyrosine phosphorylation on both
Tyr131 or Tyr132 cooperate to determine a
faster and stronger adhesion to extracellular matrix, although these
two events may diverge in timing and relative amount.
