Red cell development depends on the binding of erythropoietin (EPO)
to receptors expressed by erythroid colony-forming units (CFUe) and the
subsequent activation of receptor-bound Janus kinase (Jak2). Jak2 then
mediates the phosphorylation of receptor tyrosine sites and the
recruitment of 25 or more Src homology 2 domain-encoding proteins and
associated factors. Previous studies have shown that an EPO receptor
form containing Jak2-binding domains plus a single phosphotyrosine343 (PY343)-STAT5-binding site
provides all signals needed for erythroid cell development. However,
roles for PY343 and STAT5 remain controversial, and
findings regarding PY-null receptor activities and erythropoiesis in
STAT5-deficient mice are disparate. To study activities of a PY-null
EPO receptor in primary cells while avoiding compensatory mechanisms, a
form retaining domains for Jak2 binding and activation, but lacking all
cytoplasmic tyrosine sites, was expressed in transgenic mice from a
GATA1 gene-derived vector as a human epidermal growth
factor receptor- murine EPO receptor chimera (EE-T-Y343F). The
bio-signaling capacities of this receptor form were investigated in
CFUe from thiamphenicol-treated mice. Interestingly, this PY-null EPO
receptor form supported CFUe development (in the absence of detectable
STAT5 activation) at efficiencies within 3-fold of those levels
mediated by either an EE-T-Y343 form or the endogenous EPO receptor.
However, EE-T-Y343F-dependent Ter119+ erythroblast
maturation was attenuated. In tests of cosignaling with c-Kit,
EE-T-Y343F nonetheless retained full capacity to synergize with c-Kit
in promoting erythroid progenitor cell proliferation. Thus, EPO
receptor PY-dependent events can assist late erythropoiesis but may
be nonessential for EPO receptor-c-Kit synergy.
