Abstract

The 60 kDa insulin receptor substrate in rat adipocytes that binds to the PI-3 kinase displays several functional characteristics in common with the IRS proteins; so we propose the name pp60(IRS3) to distinguish it from other tyrosine phosphorylated proteins of similar size. During insulin stimulation, p85 associated with pp60(IRS3) more rapidly than with IRS-1 or IRS-2. In mice lacking IRS-1, p85 associated more strongly with pp60(IRS3) than with IRS-2, suggesting that pp60(IRS3) provides an alternate pathway in these cells. Synthetic peptides containing two phosphorylated YMPM motifs displace pp60(IRS3) and IRS-1 from alphap85 immune complexes, suggesting that pp60(IRS3), like IRS-1, engages both SH2 domains in p85. Moreover, pp60(IRS3) binds to immobilized peptides containing a phosphorylated NPXY motif, suggesting that it contains a PTB domain with similar specificity to that in IRS-1. The cloning of pp60(IRS3) will reveal a new member of the IRS protein family which mediates insulin receptor signals in a narrow range of tissues.
