The Nb2 PRL receptor (PRL-R) is known to mediate
PRL signaling to the interferon (IFN) regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) gene
via the family of signal transducers and activators of transcription or
Stats. To analyze the components of the PRL-R/Stat/IRF-1 signaling
pathway, various PRL-R, Stat, and IRF-1-CAT reporter constructs were
transiently cotransfected into COS cells. First, mutations in the
IFN
-activated sequence (GAS), either multimerized or in the context
of the 1.7-kb IRF-1 promoter, failed to mediate a PRL response, showing
that the IRF-1 GAS is a target of PRL signaling. Next, pairwise alanine
substitutions into conserved residues in the proline-rich motif or Box
1 region and two tyrosine mutations, Y308F and Y382F, in the PRL-R
intracellular domain all impaired PRL signaling to multimerized GAS or
to the 1.7-kb IRF-1 promoter. Furthermore, these PRL-R mutants mediated
reduced Stat1 binding to the IRF-1 GAS. Transfection of Stat1 further
enhanced PRL signaling to the IRF-1 promoter, suggesting that Stat1 is
a positive mediator of PRL action. These studies show that both
membrane proximal and distal residues of the PRL-R are involved in
signaling to the IRF-1 gene. Further, Stat1 and the GAS element are
important for PRL activation of the IRF-1 gene.
