Insulin binding protein 2

The major components of beef glomerular basement membrane were solubilized with sodium dodecyl sulphate and resolved on 6% agarose [229]. 0.1% SDS has also been used in the separation of lipoprotein and apolipoprotein from human plasma [230] and 3% SDS used in gel chromatography of human erythrocyte membranes on Sepharose 6B [231]. Stokes radius determination of insulin-binding protein was performed on Sepharose 6B with 0.5% Triton X-100 [232]. 

After insulin binding, protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation appear to play a pivotal role in further signal transmission from the insulin receptor to the effector systems (Goldstein, 1992). Since at the post-kinase level tyrosine phosphorylation of substrate proteins is involved in insulin signalling, an important role for tyrosine phosphatases in the regulation of post-kinase signalling mechanisms has to be assumed (Goldstein, 1992). 

Also, phosphorylation of Akt results in activation of sterol regulatory-element binding protein 1 (SREBP1), a key transcription factor involved in regulation of lipogenic enzymes. In addition, some of the effects of insulin on cell proliferation and survival may be explained by an Akt-dependent inhibition of apoptosis through phosphorylation and inactivation of proa-poptotic proteins (e.g., BAD, Caspase 9). 

Figure 38-7. Activation of elF-4E by insulin and formation of the cap binding elF-4F complex. The 4F-cap mRNA complex is depicted as in Figure 38-6. The 4F complex consists of elF-4E (4E), elF-4A, and elF-4G. 4E is inactive when bound by one ofa family of binding proteins (4E-BPs). Insulin and mitogenic factors (eg, IGF-1, PDGF, interleukin-2, and angiotensin II) activate a serine protein kinase in the mTOR pathway, and this results in the phosphorylation of 4E-BP. Phosphorylated 4E-BP dissociates from 4E, and the latter is then able to form the 4F complex and bind to the mRNA cap. These growth peptides also phosphorylate 4E itself by activating a component of the MAP kinase pathway. Phosphorylated 4E binds much more avidly to the cap than does nonphosphorylated 4E.

Figure 3. MAP kinase regulatory pathway. The MAP kinase signaling pathway begins with activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) by exogenous signals, such as growth factors and insulin. The signal is then transmitted into the cell via activation of the Raf serine/threonine kinase either directly by the RTK or through the GTP-binding protein, Ras. The signal is then transmitted to the nucleus and to other cytoplasmic proteins via MAPKK and MAPK.

Insulin binding to the extracellular side of cell membranes initiates the insulin cascade , a series of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation steps. A postulated mechanism for vanadium is substitution of vanadate for phosphate in the transition state structure of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP).267,268 In normal physiological conditions, the attainable oxidation states of vanadium are V111, Viv and Vv. Relevant species in solution are vanadate, (a mixture of HV042-/ H2VOO and vanadyl V02+. Vanadyl is not a strong inhibitor of PTPs, suggesting other potential mechanisms for insulin mimesis for this cation.
