Growth hormone-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of a GH receptor-associated high molecular WEIGHT protein immunologically related to JAK2.

A critical step in growth hormone (GH) signalling is the GH-induced activation of the GH receptor (GHR)-associated tyrosine kinase, JAK2. JAK2 is a 120 kD member of the Janus family of tyrosine kinases, whose other mammalian members include JAK1, JAK3, and TYK2. Using 3T3-F442A murine preadipocytes, we now report detection of a Mr approximately 170 kD protein, referred to as HMW ("high molecular weight") JAK2, that is specifically reactive in immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting experiments with three independently-derived anti-JAK2 antibodies--two directed at carboxyl-terminal regions of the molecule and one directed at the amino-terminus. Like JAK2, HMW JAK2 is tyrosine phosphorylated in response to GH treatment of cells and is coimmunoprecipitated with anti-GHR serum. Thus, HMW JAK2 is a protein not heretofore described that is immunologically related to JAK2 and is physically and functionally associated with the GHR.
