The levels of tyrosine phosphorylation required for cell growth and differentiation are achieved through the coordinated action of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Depending upon the cellular context, these two types of enzymes may either antagonize or cooperate with each other during the signal transmission process. An imbalance between these enzymes may impair normal cell growth, leading to cellular transformation. Both PTKs and PTPs have evolved to a level of structural diversity that allows them to regulate many cellular processes, This review will focus on several specific examples that highlight the interplay between PTPs and PTKs in cell signaling. conditions. Considerable progress has been made in the determination of the chromosomal localization of genes encoding PTPs, with the aim of correlating map positions with sites of abnormality in human disease states. New and tantalizing results are being reported frequently. Most notable is the gene for PTP~/on chromosome 3p21, a segment frequently altered in renal and smallcell lung carcinomas. It now appears that mutations may occur in the extracellular segment of PTP~/and thus may create a receptor-like PTP that can no longer respond to its external signals 2. Several studies have reported the inhibitory effects of PTPs on cellular transformation in tissue culture systems. Expression of PTPIB has been shown to block transformation mediated by Neu 3 and partially revert transformation by Src 4, both of which are oncogenic PTKs. Expression of a closely related phosphatase, TCPTP, has been shown to reverse partially the morphological phenotype of cells transformed by Fins, a deregulated colonystimulating factor receptor s. At least in the case of TCPTP, the reversion of tram Eormation has been found to be accolnpanied by the disappearance of a subset of tyrosyl-phosphorylated proteins, indicating a degree of substrate specificity for the PTP in vivo. The targets of PTPs may be PTKs themselves or the substrates of PTKs (Fig. 1). While more comprehensive studies are needed to define the substrates critical for the transformed phenotype, the results to date convey the idea that PTPs may be powerful antagonists of the actions of normal cellular and oncogenic PTKs. More recently, a growth-suppressor function for a cytoplasmic PTP has been characterized, illustrating the power of a genetic approach to the elucidation of PTP function. HCP (also known as PTP1C, SH-PTP1 or SHP; for reviews, see Refs 6, 7) is a hemopoieticcell PTP characterized by two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains in its aminoterminal segment. SH2 domains have been shown to bind phosphotyrosyl residues in defined primary sequences s. Mutations in the gene encoding HCP that result in aberrant splicing of its
