Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of GRB2 expression in EGF-stimulated COS1 cells. A, diagram of major constructs used for this study: tdEOS-tagged GRB2 SH2, FL WT GRB2, and a chimera of GRB2 SH3 domains and the CRK SH2 domain (GCG). B, GRB2-mediated enhancement of EGFR phosphorylation is SH2-dependent. Representative immunoblot of lysates from COS1 cells transfected with empty vector (ev) or overexpressing GRB2, tdEOS–GRB2 SH2, or GCG constructs before and after stimulation with 2.5 ng/ml EGF. R86K = R86K mutant that cannot bind pTyr sites. Data from three or four biological replicates are shown in bar graph below (error bars, standard error of the mean (S.E.)). Asterisks indicate phosphorylation increases that were statistically significant (paired Student's t test, p < 0.05) when compared with their empty vector control, i.e. EV or EV + EGF. n = 3 for K86R SH2 mutant constructs; n = 4 for other constructs. C, far-Western blotting and immunoblotting of lysates from COS1 cells transfected with GRB2 constructs. In labels on right, “GRB2 FW” and “CRK FW” indicate far-Western blotting with GRB2 and CRK SH2 domains. Anti-tubulin serves as loading control.

Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of GRB2 expression and EGF stimulation on GRB2-mediated enhancement. A, representative immunoblot of EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation in cells transfected with empty vector (ev) or increasing amounts of GRB2 construct. GRB2 expression levels were determined using a GRB2 SH2 standard and a GRB2 SH2-specific antibody. Densitometric quantification and fitting of EGFR phosphorylation data from three biological replicates are shown on the right. B, effect of increasing EGF stimulation on enhancement of total EGFR pTyr and EGFR pTyr-1068 (a GRB2 SH2-binding site) in cells overexpressing WT GRB2 or the inactive R86K mutant. Densitometric quantification of the data for total pTyr–EGFR is shown to the right. Error bars represent S.E. for three biological replicates. The increase in phosphorylation associated with GRB2 SH2 expression was significant at all EGF concentrations (paired Student's t test, p < 0.05, *), even though the relative effect size decreases with EGF concentration.

Figure Legend Snippet: Site-specific increases in EGFR phosphotyrosine in SH2-overexpressing cells. A, representative anti-pTyr and phosphosite-specific anti-pTyr–EGFR immunoblots from COS1 cells transfected with empty vector (ev), tdEOS–GRB2 SH2, FL GRB2 SH2, or GCG. EGF + pervanadate (200 ng/ml EGF, 100 μm pervanadate, 40 min) was used as a maximally phosphorylated standard and run at 1:10 dilution on the same membranes. Antibodies are indicated to the left; for phosphospecific antibodies, numbers indicate residue number of phosphosite recognized. Percent maximal phosphorylation for each site and total pTyr–EGFR are shown on the panels to right (n = 3 biological replicates, error bars = S.E.). Expression of GRB2 FL and SH2 constructs resulted in statistically significant increases in the total phosphorylation of EGFR as well as the phosphorylation of multiple EGFR phosphotyrosines, including the GRB2-binding site pTyr-1068 (paired Student's t test, p < 0.05, *). An inter-site comparison of fold increase in phosphorylation revealed a statistically significant increase in phosphorylation of pTyr-1068 associated with GRB2 FL expression in non-stimulated cells (ANOVA, Tukey's pairwise comparison, p < 0.05, **). B, relative increase in abundance of EGFR phosphopeptides detected by quantitative mass spectrometry in COS1 lysates from cells expressing indicated SH2 constructs. C, relative increase in abundance of p130CAS phosphopeptides detected by MS as in B. Error bars for B and C represent S.E. for three biological replicates.

Figure Legend Snippet: GRB2 specifically enhances its canonical binding motifs in a concentration-dependent manner. A, representative EGFR pTyr-specific immunoblots from COS1 cells expressing an increasing amount of GRB2. For phosphospecific antibodies, residue number and pTyr motifs of phosphosite recognized are indicated on the right. Lysates used were the same as for Fig. 2A, and pTyr, GRB2, and tubulin control blots are duplicated here. B, quantification of EGFR pTyr site-specific phosphorylation following EGF stimulation plotted against overexpressed GRB2 concentration (three biological replicates). Curves represent a polynomial fit of the combined data (R2 values for all curves are >0.84). Data for the two canonical GRB2-binding sites (Tyr-1068 and Tyr-1086) are bolded.

Figure Legend Snippet: Model parameters All parameters were defined using experimental data unless otherwise noted below. Cell volumes were approximated from measurements of trypsinized cells. EGF-binding constants were taken from the literature. COS1 cell phosphorylation and dephosphorylation rates were measured using pTyr standard as shown in Fig. 6 , B – D . Measurements of in vivo EGFR phosphorylation rates and approximations of EGFR expression in COS1 cells were used to calculate the EGFR k f values. Phosphatase V max and K m values were obtained by fitting the quantitative EGFR dephosphorylation data to the Michaelis-Menten function. GRB2 concentrations were calculated via immunoblotting using a purified GRB2 standard run on the same membrane. GRB2 binding constants were determined using data from previously published work and by fitting experimental data to the model (see ).

Figure Legend Snippet: Computational model and parameter determination. A, diagram of the computational model used to quantify the effect of SH2 expression on EGFR phosphorylation. The effect of SH2 domain expression in unstimulated cells utilized the same scheme but used an EGFR kf value obtained in unstimulated cells. B–D, measurement of in vivo phosphorylation and dephosphorylation rates in COS1 cells. B, plot of absolute phosphorylation rate in serum-starved cells treated with pervanadate. C, plot of absolute phosphorylation rate in starved cells treated with pervanadate 5 min after stimulation with 2.5 ng/ml EGF. D, plot of absolute dephosphorylation rate in cells treated with erlotinib 5 min after stimulation with 2.5 ng/ml EGF. Black lines show amount of phosphorylation quantified from experimental data. Red lines show initial rate used to calculate model parameters. pTyr–EGFR concentrations were obtained by comparing signal from anti-pTyr immunoblots of COS1 lysates with a phosphotyrosine standard run on the same blot. E, plot of fitted curves from experimental data for fraction of EGFR pTyr-1068 (blue squares) and total pTyr EGFR (red circles) overlaid on model predictions generated at varying kon values for binding of GRB2 SH2 to EGFR. Plots were created by holding the koff constant at 1 s−1 and varying kon values (black lines).

Figure Legend Snippet: Computational modeling recapitulates experimental data. A, comparison of model predictions (red bars) and experimental data (green bars) on the effect of EGF concentration on GRB2 SH2-mediated EGFR phosphosite enhancement relative to GRB2 SH2 R86K mutant-expressing cells (see Fig. 2B). Error bars represent the S.E. of three biological replicates. For modeling data, GRB2 concentration was set at 5.4 μm. There was no statistical difference between the experimental and model data for the effect of EGF on GRB2-mediated pTyr enhancement and between 0 and 2.5 ng/ml EGF (one-way Student's t test, p > 0.05 “NS”). At higher concentrations of EGF (25 and 250 ng/ml), there was a small but statistically significant difference between experimental data and model predictions (one-way Student's t test, p < 0.05, *). B, model predictions of the relationship between SH2-bound phosphosites (pTyr-SH2, brown) and unbound phosphosites (pTyr, blue) in EGF-treated cells at varying SH2 concentrations. C, model predictions showing the effect of an increasing concentration of a GRB2-binding site competitor (SH2competitor) on the amount of pTyr-bound GRB2. Total concentration of GRB2 was held at 0.24 μm. Dark green bars represent pTyr-GRB2 binding in a system with pTyr flux (i.e. rapid phosphorylation and dephosphorylation; Fig. 6A). Light green bars represent pTyr-GRB2 binding data in a system containing a constant 3.6% pTyr EGFR (equal to the amount of pTyr EGFR present in the flux model without any exogenous SH2 present). D, quantification of phosphorylated ERK1 and ERK2 in COS1 cells expressing empty vector or tdEOS–GRB2 SH2 before and after EGF stimulation, using the same lysates as in Fig. 3A. All values are normalized to empty vector-transfected unstimulated cells and total ERK expression. Error bar represents S.E. from three biological replicates. There was no statistically significant difference between the phosphorylation of pERK1/pERK2 in empty vector and GRB2 SH2-expressing cells, before or after EGF stimulation (paired Student's t test, “NS”).
