However, the downstream components of this pathway are not known, nor is its relationship to survival signals triggered by tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor clear. We have now found that phosphorylation of Ser585 of βc in response to GM-CSF recruited 14-3-3 and phosphatidyl inositol 3-OH kinase (PI 3-kinase) to the receptor, while phosphorylation of the neighboring Tyr577 within this “viability domain” promoted the activation of both Src homology and collagen (Shc) and Ras. These are independent processes as demonstrated by the intact reactivity of phosphospecific anti-Ser585 and anti-Tyr577 antibodies on the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–ecotrophic retroviral receptor neomycin (CTL-EN) mutants βcTyr577Phe and βcSer585Gly, respectively. Importantly, while mutants in which either Ser585 (βcSer585Gly) or all tyrosines (βcF8) were substituted showed a defect in Akt phosphorylation, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation, bcl-2 induction, and cell survival, the mutant βcTyr577Phe was defective in Shc, Ras, and extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) activation, but supported CTL-EN cell survival in response to GM-CSF. These results demonstrate that both serine and tyrosine phosphorylation pathways play a role in hematopoietic cell survival, are initially independent of each other, and converge on NF-κB to promote bcl-2 expression.
