DOC2b Enhances β-Cell Function via a Novel Tyrosine Phosphorylation-Dependent Mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Double C2 domain Β (DOC2b) protein is required for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in β-cells, the underlying mechanism of which remains unresolved. Our biochemical analysis using primary human islets and human and rodent clonal β-cells revealed that DOC2b is tyrosine phosphorylated within 2 min of glucose stimulation, and Src family kinase member YES is required for this process. Biochemical and functional analysis using DOC2bY301 mutants revealed the requirement of Y301 phosphorylation for the interaction of DOC2b with YES kinase and increased content of VAMP2, a protein on insulin secretory granules, at the plasma membrane (PM), concomitant with DOC2b-mediated enhancement of GSIS in β-cells. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrated an increased association of DOC2b with ER
