The serine phosphorylations in the IRS-1 PIR domain abrogate IRS-1 and IR interaction.

ABSTRACT: Serine phosphorylations on insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) by diverse kinases aoccur widely during obesity-, stress-, and inflammation-induced conditions in models of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we define a region within the human IRS-1, which is directly C-terminal to the PTB domain encompassing numerous serine phosphorylation sites including Ser307 (mouse Ser302) and Ser312 (mouse 307) creating a phosphorylation insulin resistance (PIR) domain. We demonstrate that the IRS-1 PTB-PIR with its unphosphorylated serine residues interacts with the insulin receptor (IR) but loses the IR-binding when they are phosphorylated. Surface plasmon resonance studies further confirm that the PTB-PIR binds stronger to IR than just the PTB domain, and that phosphorylations a
