Signaling through the erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) is crucial for proliferation, differentiation, and survival of erythroid progenitor cells, EPO induces homodimerization of the EPO-R, triggering activation of the receptor-associated kinase JAK2 and activation of STAT5. By mutating the eight tyrosine residues in the cytosolic domain of the EPO-R, we show that either Y-343 or Y-401 is sufficient to mediate maximal activation of STAT5: tyrosine residues Y-429 and Y-431 can partially activate STAT5. Comparison of the sequences surrounding these tyrosines reveals YXXL as the probable motif specifying recruitment of STAT5 to the EPO-R. Expression of a mutant EPO-R lacking all eight tyrosine residues in the cytosolic domain supported a low but detectable level of EPO-induced STAT5 activation, indicating the existence of an alternative pathway for STAT5 activation independent of any tyrosine in the EPO-R. The kinetics of STAT5 activation and inactivation were the same, regardless of which tyrosine residue in the Ii;PO-R mediated its activation or whether the alternative pathway was used, The ability of mutant EPO-Rs to activate STAT5 did not directly correlate with their mitogenic potential.
