Abstract
The granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells induced by all-trans retinoic acid was accompanied by a progressive tyrosine phosphorylation of specific proteins in either cells or isolated nuclei. Among these phosphoproteins, we identified the Vav adaptor in whole cells as well as in the inner nuclear compartment, where the increase in its tyrosine phosphorylation level was more conspicuous. We also demonstrated the differentiation-dependent association of nuclear phosphorylated Vav to phospholipase C-γ1 and to the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. The role of the Vav/phospholipase C-γ1/phosphoinositide 3-kinase phosphoprotein complexes in the nuclei of HL-60 induced to differentiate along the granulocytic lineage is discussed.
