SHP-1, an SH2-domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase, functions as a negative regulator of signaling downstream of cytokine receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases and receptor complexes of the immune system. Dephosphorylation of receptors and/or receptor-associated kinases has been described as the mechanism for the function of SHP-1. Here we demonstrate a novel mechanism by which SHP-1 downregulates the Jak2 (Janus kinase-2)/Stat5 (signal transducer and activator of transcription-5) pathway downstream of the prolactin (PRLR) and the erythropoietin (EPOR) receptors in a catalytic activity independent manner. Structural/functional analysis of SHP-1 defined that the C-terminal tyrosine residues (Y278, Y303, Y538, Y566) within Grb-2 binding motif to be responsible for serving the inhibitory effects. Our results further indicate that these tyrosine residues via recruitment of the adaptor protein Grb-2 are required for targeting the inhibitory protein suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS-1) to Jak2 kinase. Finally, loss of SOCS-1 expression in SOCS-1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells, led to attenuation in SHP-1 function to downregulate PRL-induced Stat5 activation. Altogether, our results indicate that SHP-1 inhibits PRLR and EPOR signaling by recruitment and targeting of SOCS-1 to Jak2, highlighting a new mechanism of SHP-1 regulation of cytokine receptor signaling.
