Characterization of the Role of the Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Receptor alpha  Subunit in the Activation of JAK2 and STAT5

Sean E. Doyle and Judith C. Gasson

From the Molecular Biology Institute, UCLA, Los Angeles; and the Division of Hematology-Oncology, Department of Medicine, Department of Biological Chemistry, and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA.

The high-affinity human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor (GMR) consists of an alpha (GMRalpha ) and a common beta (beta c) subunit. The intracellular domain of beta c has been extensively characterized and has been shown to be critical for the activation of both the JAK/STAT and MAP kinase pathways. The function of the intracellular domain of GMRalpha , however, is not as well characterized. To determine the role of this domain in GMR signaling, an extensive structure-function analysis was performed. Truncation mutants alpha 362, alpha 371, and alpha 375 were generated, as well as the site-directed mutants alpha VQVQ and alpha VVVV. Although alpha 375beta , alpha VQNQbeta , and alpha VVVVbeta stimulated proliferation in response to human GM-CSF, the truncation mutants alpha 362beta and alpha 371beta were incapable of transducing a proliferative signal. In addition, both alpha 371 and alpha VVVV were expressed at markedly reduced levels, indicating the importance of residues 372 to 374 for proper protein expression. More importantly, we show that GMRalpha plays a direct role in the activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) indicate that both GMRalpha and beta c play a role in determining the STAT5 DNA binding complex activated by the GMR. Thus, the intracellular domain of the human GMRalpha is important for activation of the JAK/STAT pathway and protein stabilization.
