From the Divisions of The ErbB family of receptors, which includes the
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), ErbB2, ErbB3, and
ErbB4, mediate signaling by EGF-like polypeptides. To better
understand the role of the EGFR tyrosine kinase, we analyzed signaling
by a kinase-inactive EGFR (K721M) in ErbB-devoid 32D cells. K721M alone
exhibited no detectable signaling capacity, whereas coexpression of
K721M with ErbB2, but not ErbB3 or ErbB4, resulted in
EGF-dependent mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)
activation. The kinase activity, but not tyrosine phosphorylation, of
ErbB2 was required for EGF-induced MAPK activation. The presence of
tyrosine phosphorylation sites in K721M was not a requisite for
signaling, indicating that transphosphorylation of K721M by ErbB2 was
not an essential mechanism of receptor activation. Conversely, the
mutated kinase domain of K721M (residues 648-973) and tyrosine
phosphorylation of at least one of the receptors were necessary. EGF
was found to activate the pro-survival protein kinase Akt in stable
cell lines expressing K721M and ErbB2 but, unlike cells expressing
wild-type EGFR, was incapable of activating signal transducers and
activators of transcription (STAT) or driving cell proliferation.
These results demonstrate that EGFR-ErbB2 oligomers are potent
activators of MAPK and Akt, and this signaling does not require EGFR
kinase activity.
