Mutant of Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 Incapable of Activating Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Did Not Mediate Insulin-stimulated Maturation of Xenopus laevis Oocytes*

Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is rapidly phosphorylated on multiple tyrosine residues in response to insulin and binds several Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins, thereby initiating downstream signaling. To assess the tyrosine phosphorylation sites that mediate relevant downstream signaling and biological effects, we created site-directed mutants of IRS-1 and overexpressed them in the Xenopus laevis oocyte. In oocytes overexpressing IRS-1 or IRS-1-895F (Tyr-895 replaced with phenylalanine), insulin activated phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase, p70 S6 kinase, and mitogen-activated protein kinase and induced oocyte maturation. In contrast, in oocytes overexpressing IRS-1-4F (Tyr-460, Tyr-608, Tyr-939, and Tyr-987 of IRS-1 replaced with phenylalanine), insulin did not activate PI 3-kinase, p70 S6 kinase, and mitogen-activated protein kinase and failed to induce oocyte maturation. These observations indicate that in X. laevis oocytes overexpressing IRS-1, the association of PI 3-kinase rather than Grb2 (growth factor-bound protein 2) with IRS-1 plays a major role in insulin-induced oocyte maturation. Activation of PI 3-kinase may lie upstream of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation and p70 S6 kinase activation in response to insulin.
