The catalytic and signaling
activities of RET, a tyrosine kinase receptor for glial cell
line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), are controlled by the
autophosphorylation of several tyrosine residues in the RET cytoplasmic
domain. To analyze the phosphorylation state of individual tyrosines,
we generated antibodies recognizing specific phosphotyrosine sites
involved in the catalytic (Tyr905) and downstream
signaling (Tyr1015, Tyr1062, and
Tyr1096) activities of this receptor. Stimulation with GDNF
induced coordinated phosphorylation of the 4 tyrosine residues in
neuronal cell lines and in primary cultures of sympathetic neurons
isolated from rat superior cervical ganglia. Neurturin and
artemin, two other members of the GDNF ligand family, also induced
synchronized phosphorylation of RET tyrosines with kinetics comparable
to those observed with GDNF. Tyrosine phosphorylation was maximal 15 min after ligand stimulation, decaying thereafter with similar kinetics
in all 4 residues. Co-stimulation with a soluble form of the GFR 1
co-receptor potentiated ligand-dependent phosphorylation of
different intracellular tyrosines to a similar extent and increased the
survival of superior cervical ganglion neurons compared with treatment
with GDNF alone. In vivo, high levels of phosphorylated
Tyr905, Tyr1015, and Tyr1062 were
detected in embryonic mouse dorsal root ganglia, with a sharp decline
at early postnatal stages. Protein transduction of
anti-Tyr(P)1062 antibodies into cultured cells
reduced activation of MAPKs ERK1 and ERK2 and the AKT
kinase in response to GDNF and diminished GDNF-dependent
neuronal differentiation and survival of embryonic sensory neurons from
the nodose ganglion. These results demonstrate synchronized utilization
of individual RET tyrosine residues in neurons in vivo and
reveal an important role for RET Tyr1062 in mediating
neuronal survival by GDNF.
