ABSTRACT

Using two different cell systems, we show that the cytoplasmic domain of the granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) may be composed of at least two functional regions. The first, within the membrane-proximal 57 amino acids, is absolutely required to deliver a proliferative signal. This region contains two sequence motifs conserved between members of the hematopoietin receptor family. The second functional region resides between amino acids 57 and 96. This region is required for the induction of acute-phase plasma protein gene expression when the G-CSFR is transfected into human hepatoma cell lines. The G-CSFR-transfected hepatoma cells respond to G-CSF by increasing the production of the same set of plasma proteins as stimulated by interleukin-6, suggesting that the two cytokines share a common signal transduction pathway.
