Interaction between chicken protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (CPTP1)-like rat protein phosphatase 1 (PTP1) and p60V-SRC in v-src-transformed rat-1 fibroblasts

CPTP1 is a nontransmembrane chicken protein tyrosine phosphatase having 92% sequence homology to the corresponding 321 amino acids of human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (HPTP1B). Using anti-CPTP1 antibody, we identified CPTP1-like rat PTP1 of 51 kDa in Rat-1 and v-src-transformed Rat-1 fibroblasts. Here we show that CPTP1-like rat PTP1 binds to p60(v-src) in vivo and CPTP1 also can associate with p60(v-src) in cell lysate of v-src-transformed Rat-1 fibroblasts. Interaction between HPTP1B-type PTPs, CPTP1-like rat PTP1 and CPTP1, and p60(v-src) was reduced by vanadate treatment for 13 h due to down regulation of the protein level of p60(v-src) in vivo. Interestingly, CPTP1-like rat PTP1 was coimmunoprecipitated with a 70-kDa protein which has a possibility to be tyrosine-phosphorylated by p60(v-src) in v-src-transformed Rat-1 fibroblasts. These results suggest that HPTP1B-type PTPs may play an important role in p60(src) dependent signal pathway in eucaryotic cells.
