Revised Manuscript Received September 14, 1993® abstract: To study the function of exon 21 of the insulin receptor, a mutant humaninsulin receptor lacking this domain was constructed. The mutant HIRAE21 cDNA was transfected into Rat-1 Fibroblasts and stable cell lines were selected. The HIRAE21 receptors were expressed on the cell surface, and they bound insulin with the same affinity as did the wild-type-expressing cell line, hIRcB. The HIRAE21 receptors did not display detectable autophosphorylation or kinase activity, and as expected, internalization was impaired and metabolic signaling properties were absent. Unexpectedly, insulin’s ability to stimulate DNA synthesis in cells expressing HIRAE21 receptors was far greater than that in the parental Rat-1 cells and equal to that measured in the hIRcB cell line. The enhanced mitogenic signaling properties of the HIR AE21 receptors was confirmed by showing that treatment of HIRAE21 cells with a human-specific insulin-mimetic anti-insulin receptor antibody also led to enhanced DNA synthesis. Thus, although no insulin receptor autophosphorylation or kinase activity was detectable in HIRAE21 cells, these cells displayed enhanced insulin-induced mitogenic signaling. These results suggest that an alternative non-kinase-dependent stimulus-response pathway exists for the long-term biological effects of insulin.The insulin receptor (IR) is a heterotetrameric transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of two a and two (3 subunits. The extracellular domain contains the insulin binding site (s) and the cytoplasmic region of the receptor contains the tyrosine kinase domain. After insulin binds to the IR a conformational change occurs, leading to autophosphorylation of tyrosine residues (Kasuga et al., 1982; Rosen etal., 1983; Yu & Czech, 1984) and activation of tyrosinekinase activity. The activated receptor can then associate with and phosphorylate endogenous substrates, such as ppl85/IRS-I (Maegawa et al., 1998a; Olefsky, 1990; Rosen, 1987; Whiteetal., 1985). This tyrosine kinase activity is one of the earliest steps in the insulin action cascade, and much evidence exists indicating that it is essential for most, if not all, of insulin’s biological effects (Cadena & Gill, 1992; Maegawa et al., 1998a; Olefsky, 1990; Rosen, 1987; White et al., 1985).
