Mutants in which the process of DC fails are characterized by the presence
of a dorsal hole in the embryonic cuticle (`dorsal-open' or `dorsal hole'
phenotype) that is due to a failure of closure or suturing of the epidermal
cells (reviewed by Noselli,
1998
; Noselli and Agnes,
1999
). Mutant identification has enabled multiple signal
transduction pathways to be shown to participate in this process. These
include the Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK), Dpp and Wingless signaling
pathways. In addition, the cell shape changes that occur during DC are
regulated by the Rho family of small GTPases (reviewed by
Harden, 2002
). Finally, DC
requires the involvement of genes encoding membrane proteins such as
canoe and myospheroid, as well as genes encoding
cytoskeletal proteins (Noselli and Agnes,
1999
).
Regulation of Dpp expression in LE cells by the JNK cascade is a central
signaling pathway controlling DC. The LE cells, in turn, signal to more
lateral cells in the epidermis through the Dpp receptor, inducing them to
participate in DC (reviewed by Harden,
2002
). Mutants in many members of the JNK pathway have been shown
to influence DC and these mutants lead to a loss of DPP expression in the LE
cells (Glise and Noselli,
1997
; Stronach and Perrimon,
2002
). These mutations can be rescued by expression of a
constitutively activated form of Jun (previously known as c-Jun; Jra -
FlyBase). This group of genes includes misshapen (msn),
which encodes a germinal center kinase, slipper (slpr),
which encodes a mixed lineage kinase
(Stronach and Perrimon, 2002
),
hep, which encodes a MAP kinase kinase
(Glise et al., 1995
),
bsk, which encodes Drosophila Jun kinase
(Glise et al., 1995
;
Riesgo-Escovar et al., 1996
),
Djun (Jra - FlyBase)
(Kockel et al., 1997
;
Nusslein-Volhard et al., 1984
;
Riesgo-Escovar and Hafen,
1997
; Riesgo-Escovar et al.,
1996
; Sluss et al.,
1996
) and kayak, which encodes Dfos
(Jurgens et al., 1984
;
Riesgo-Escovar and Hafen,
1997
; Zeitlinger et al.,
1997
). Several other genes appear to play a role in the activation
of JNK pathway signaling, but are not individually essential, in some cases
because of functional redundancy (reviewed by
Harden, 2002
). For example,
although neither Src42A nor Tec29A (Btk29A -
FlyBase) Src kinase mutations individually exhibit a DC defect, Src42A
Tec29A double mutants are DC defective, fail to exhibit LE cell Dpp
expression, and are rescued by the expression of activated Jun
(Tateno et al., 2000
).
We have previously identified and characterized Shark (SH2 domain ankyrin
repeat kinase (Ferrante et al.,
1995
), and have shown it to be an essential component of the JNK
pathway acting during DC (Fernandez et
al., 2000
). Embryonic cuticles produced by
shark1 germ-line clones exhibit a dorsal-open phenotype,
and shark1 flies partially rescued by a hs-shark
transgene produce a split thorax phenotype similar to that produced by
insufficiency for other JNK pathway members
(Glise et al., 1995
;
Riesgo-Escovar and Hafen,
1997
; Zeitlinger et al.,
1997
). shark1 germline clones fail to express
dpp in the LE cells and are rescued by the expression of activated
Jun. These results and ectopic expression studies
(Fernandez et al., 2000
)
indicate that Shark functions upstream of JNK in the JNK signaling pathway
regulating DC. To better understand the role of Shark, we performed a yeast
two-hybrid screen for proteins that physically interact with the NH2-terminal
regulatory regions. Here, we describe the characterization of one of the
proteins that interacts with Shark, Drosophila downsteam of kinase
(Ddok), which belongs to the Dok family of adaptor proteins. We show
that Ddok is required for DC, functions upstream of Shark in the JNK
pathway, and is required for the appropriate tyrosine phosphorylation and
localization of Shark to the cell peripheries of LE and lateral epidermal
cells.
| MATERIALS AND METHODS |
|---|
|
|
|---|
The cDNA encoding Ddok was amplified by PCR (Expand High Fidelity PCR System, Roche) from the FlyBase clone LD32155, using the following primers: forward, 5'CGGAATTCGCCACCATGGATGTTGAAATACCT-3'; and reverse, 5'-GAGGAGTCTAGATTACTACTTATCGTCGTCATCCTTGTAATCCACTCGCTTCGG-3' (CO2H-terminally tagged Ddok-Flag). The primers used for subcloning Shark were: forward, 5'-GAGCAGAAACTGATCAGCGAGGAGGACCTGAAATGGTAC-3'; and reverse, 5'-CATTTCAGGTCCTCCTCGCTGATCAGTTTCTGCTCGTAC-3' (NH2-terminally tagged Myc-Shark). The PCR products were digested with EcoRI and XbaI (Ddok), or with NotI and XhoI (Shark), and cloned into the pMTA vector (Invitrogen).
Antibody production, immunostaining procedures and cuticle preparation
The region encoding the unique CO2H-terminal (amino acid
residues 241-622) of Ddok was cloned into pGEX-KG
(Guan and Dixon, 1991
) at the
EcoRI and NcoI sites. The GST fusion protein was purified
and injected into rabbits (Covance). Rabbit anti-Y927 Shark phosphopeptide
antiserum was raised against a Shark phosphopeptide
ARDPDY(PO4)QNLPELVQTVHIC (pY927 peptide, amino acids 922-940)
(coupled through Cys940 to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin). Anti-phosphoY927
antibody (anti-pY927) was purified from antibodies to unphosphorylated
peptides in this antiserum by binding to a pY927 peptide column and eluting
with 0.1 M glycine-HCl (pH 2.0) buffer. Anti-P-Tyr-100 was obtained from cell
signaling. For the immunofluorescence studies, Drosophila Schneider
(S2) cells were grown in Schneider Medium (Invitrogen) containing 10% fetal
bovine serum (Invitrogen) on Polylysine (10 mg/ml)-coated coverslips. They
were transfected (1x107 cells/ml, Ddok-Flag, Myc-Shark) with
Effectine (QIAGEN), induced with CuSO4 for 6 hours and grown for
48-72 hours in six-well plates. The cells were then washed with PBS and fixed
with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes. Coverslips were blocked with 10% goat
serum in PBS for 20 minutes, the cells incubated with primary (2 hours) and
secondary (1 hour) antibodies with PBS washes before and after secondary
antibody. Anti-Flag (Sigma) and anti-Myc (Invitrogen) antibodies were used at
1:500 dilutions. Immunofluorescence staining of embryos was performed using
the anti-Ddok antiserum at 1:1000, the anti-LacZ antibody and the
anti-Fasciclin III antibody (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank) at
dilutions of 1:2000 and 1:40, respectively, and the anti-pY927 antibody at 1
µg/ml. Secondary antibodies for staining S2 cells and embryos were Alexa
488- or Alexa 594 (Molecular Probes)-conjugated mouse or rabbit IgG used at a
dilution of 1:500. Embryos were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde prior to
immunostaining and devitellinized with methanol (or 80% cold ethanol for
phalloidin staining). Cuticles were prepared as described previously
(Wieschaus and Nusslein-Volhard,
1986
), and photographed under bright and dark field using
Ektachrome 160T film.
Immunoprecipitation and western blot
S2 cells were cultured in 100-mm diameter tissue culture dishes (Falcon) in
Schneider medium containing 10% fetal calf serum at 22°C. For Src
inhibitor studies, cells were treated with PP2 (10 µM, Calbiochem) for 1
hour. S2 cells transfected (Effectine, QIAGEN) with different plasmids
(
107 cells/dish) were lysed in l ml of lysis buffer (10 mM
Tris-HCl, 50 mM NaCl, 50 mM NaF, 30 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 5 µM
ZnCl2, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1% NP-40, 1 mM Benzamidine, 10
µg/ml leupeptin and 5 µg/ml aprotinin, pH 7.2). The cell lysates were
centrifuged (13,000 g, 30 minutes, 4°C) and Sepharose G
beads (20 µl, packed volume, Pharmacia) and Flag antibody (0.5 µg) were
added to the supernatant, which was rotated at 4°C overnight. The beads
were then washed with lysis buffer (four to five times, 500 µl), the
immunoprecipitated proteins eluted with 10 µl of 3xSDS-PAGE loading
buffer, subjected to SDS-PAGE, transferred to a Nylon 0.2 µm PVDF membrane
and western blotted with primary antibodies at the following concentrations:
RC20H Anti-Ptyr:HRP (Transduction Laboratories), 1:5000; anti-Myc monoclonal
antibody (Invitrogen), 1:5000; rabbit anti-Shark antiserum
(Fernandez et al., 2000
),
1:1000; rabbit anti-Ddok,1:1000; anti-Y927 peptide antibody, 1 µg/ml; and
anti-Flag monoclonal antibody (M2 monoclonal, Sigma), 1:5000.
In situ hybridization and RT-PCR
Whole-mount in situ hybridization was performed as described by Tautz and
Pfeifle (Tautz and Pfeifle,
1989
), with digoxigenin-labeled RNA probes prepared by in vitro
transcription. The Ddok probe was 1241-1782 bp of cDNA sequence and the Dpp
probe was the entire cDNA. RT-PCR was performed on RNA extracted from
wild-type and DdokPG155/Y males with the following
primers: forward, 5'-GGCTGGATATCTTAATGTGCCGAC-3'; reverse,
5'-GCGGCTCCTGAGTGATCTTCACA-3' (the expected product size was 223
bp).
Genetic protocols
To eliminate both maternal and zygotic Ddok activity, germ-line clone (GLC)
mutants of DdokPG155 were generated as described
previously (Chou et al., 1993
).
Virgin females of the genotype y w DdokPG155
FRT101/FM7 were crossed to ovoD1
FRT101/Y; hs-Flp38 males. The larvae were heat shocked for 1
hour at 37°C on days 4, 5 and 6 AEL to induce recombination.
GLC-containing females of the genotype y w DdokPG155
FRT101/ovoD1 FRT101; hs-Flp38 were then
mated to wild-type males. Whenever it was necessary to distinguish GLC mutants
from non-mutant flies a ftz-lacZ balancer was used. For the epistatic
analyses, GLC virgin flies were crossed to males of the following genotypes:
hs-Src42A22.3/hs-Src42A22.3
(Lu and Li, 1999
),
hs-shark-10/hs-shark-10
(Fernandez et al., 2000
),
hs-SEjunasp/CyO
(Treier et al., 1995
) and
pucE69/TM3 (Glise and
Noselli, 1997
; Martin-Blanco
et al., 1998
). In crosses where heat shock was required,
developmentally synchronized embryos were obtained and heat shocked for 30
minutes at 37°C during stages 9-10. For electron microscopy, a Jeol 6400
scanning electron microscope was used.

74 kDa) in Drosophila embryo lysates
(Fig. 2C), the association of
Ddok with Shark could be detected in untransfected S2 cells
(Fig. 2D). We therefore
investigated the interaction between Ddok and Shark by expressing
epitope-tagged versions of these proteins in S2 cells. Ddok-Flag, when
overexpressed in S2 cells and immunoprecipitated with anti-Flag antibody,
migrated as a single band on SDS-PAGE and was tyrosine phosphorylated
(Fig. 2E, lane 3). When lysates
from Myc-Shark and Ddok-Flag co-transfected cells were used, Shark
(Mr
116 kDa) was co-immunoprecipitated with Ddok,
which exhibited increased tyrosine phosphorylation
(Fig. 2E, lane 4). No tyrosine
phosphorylation of Shark was detected (Fig.
2E, upper panel), suggesting that Shark itself was not activated
by its association with Ddok. However, because Src42A and Src64B were both
recently reported to associate with Ddok in a yeast two-hybrid analysis of
Drosophila proteins (Giot et al.,
2003
We also investigated the role of the Ddok tyrosines shown to be required
for the Src-kinase-dependent interaction in the two-hybrid system
(Fig. 2B). In contrast to the
interaction between Ddok and Shark fragments studied in the two-hybrid
analysis, individual Ddok Y427, Y499, Y515 or Y537 mutations in full-length
Ddok exhibited the same degree of association as unmutated Ddok (data not
shown), whereas Ddok Y499, 515F double mutants showed a reduced association
with Shark in S2 cells (Fig.
2E, lane 5). However, the interaction between Shark and Ddok was
not reduced further by the introduction of additional mutations Y427F and
Y537F (Fig. 2E, lanes 6,7).
Thus results from both systems emphasize the importance of Ddok Y499 and Y515.
The lack of effect of the individual Y mutants in the S2 cell system may
reflect the presence of additional interactions due to the use of full-length
constructs and a Drosophila system that is likely to be more
permissive for the participation of third party proteins. As the sequence
surrounding the Ddok Y499 and Y515 comprises an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based
activation motif (ITAM) (Isakov,
1998
), these data suggest that the Ddok ITAM plays a dominant, but
not exclusive role in the interaction between Shark and Ddok in S2 cells.
There was no interaction between Ddok and Shark lacking the SH2 domain-ankyrin
repeats-SH2 domain regions (data not shown).
Myc-Shark expressed in S2 cells in the absence of Ddok was present mainly in the cytoplasm with some expression at the cell cortex (Fig. 2G, part b). By contrast, Ddok-Flag expressed in S2 cells localized primarily to the cell cortex with slight cytoplasmic expression (Fig. 2G, part d). When the two proteins were expressed together in S2 cells, there was no change in their distribution and their colocalization was restricted to the cell cortex (Fig. 2G, parts f-h).
Ddok expression pattern
Ddok protein is expressed at all stages of embryonic development, as
demonstrated by staining with an antibody raised against the Ddok-GST fusion
protein. Maternal expression of Ddok protein leads to strong expression in
early stage embryos (see Fig. S1A,B in the supplementary material). Ddok is
highly localized to the cortex of blastoderm embryos at the onset of
cellularization (see Fig. S1B in the supplementary material). During germ band
extension, it is expressed in the cephalic furrow and the proctodeum (see Fig.
S1C in the supplementary material), and in the anterior and posterior midgut
regions. By stage 13, Ddok protein is expressed in the epidermis, malphigian
tubules and hindgut (see Fig. S1F). At later stages of development, it is
expressed in midgut constrictions and the ventral nerve cord (data not shown).
In parallel with the analysis of Ddok protein expression, the mRNA expression
pattern was studied with an anti-sense RNA probe specific for the region of
the Ddok gene encoding its C-terminal tail. The pattern of expression of the
Ddok mRNA was similar to the protein expression pattern (Fig. S1G-L
in the supplementary material). However, the abundance of the mRNA was
observed to decline gradually after stage 13 of embryogenesis. The patterns of
expression of the Ddok mRNA and protein resemble those of the Shark mRNA and
protein (Fernandez et al.,
2000
).
A mutation in Ddok affects embryonic DC
The Ddok gene is located in region 7B1 on the X-chromosome. A
screen for lethal mutations on the X-chromosome yielded an insertion of the P
element transgene pGaw in the first intron of the Ddok gene,
387
bp upstream of the second exon (DdokPG155)
(Bourbon et al., 2002
)
(Fig. 3A).
DdokPG155 is semilethal in hemizygous males and
2-3
transposase-mediated P-element-mediated allelic reversion led to the
generation of lines in which males carrying the revertant chromosome were
viable, indicating that the P-element insertion in
DdokPG155 is the basis for lethality
(Bourbon et al., 2002
).
DdokPG155/Y males can also be rescued by overexpression of
a Ddok transgene. The rescued flies are normal and fertile. Among the progeny
of the cross DdokPG155/FM7xFM7/Y, 1-2% of
the expected number of DdokPG155/Y males survived to
adulthood, and we considered these flies to be `escapers' of the lethal
phenotype. RT-PCR performed on the DdokPG155 hemizygous
males failed to detect Ddok transcripts
(Fig. 3B). The escapers
exhibited four distinct phenotypes: the majority (
50%) exhibited a
phenotype in which the wings are shriveled
(Fig. 3C, part b,c). A similar
wing phenotype of varying severity has also been reported in hep
(hemipterous) mutants (Agnes et
al., 1999
). Another commonly observed phenotype is a split thorax
phenotype (
30%) (Fig. 3D,
part a,b), accompanied by the loss of bristles in the midline region of the
thorax (Fig. 3D, part b). Both
of these phenotypes are also associated with weak hep alleles
(Glise et al., 1995
),
kay mutants that have been partially rescued through transgenic
expression of the kay gene
(Riesgo-Escovar and Hagen,
1997
; Zeitlinger et al.,
1997
), and with partially rescued Shark1
mutants (Fernandez et al.,
2000
). The other phenotypes displayed by
DdokPG155 hemizygous flies include unilateral or bilateral
loss of anterior orbital bristles (<10%) in the head region
(Fig. 3D, part c,d), and
irregularly placed bristles in the eyes
(Fig. 3D, part e,f).
The high maternal expression of Ddok mRNA and protein, and the
ability of embryos hemizygous for DdokPG155 to hatch and
in some cases to survive to adulthood, suggested that maternally expressed
Ddok could support the need for Ddok activity during embryogenesis. To
eliminate the maternal Ddok contribution, germ-line clones (GLC)
homozygous for DdokPG155 were generated
(Chou and Perrimon, 1996
). In
cuticle preparations, approximately 50% of the embryos derived from these GLCs
exhibited a severe dorsal open phenotype
(Fig. 4A, part a,b;
Table 1). Those progeny that
did not die as embryos survived to adulthood, and all of them were female.
This indicates that the paternally supplied X-chromosome, carrying the
wild-type copy of Ddok, was capable of rescuing the GLC-associated defect, and
that the embryos that died with a dorsal open phenotype represented the male
progeny of GLC-producing females and were both maternally and zygotically
mutant for Ddok. Immunohistochemical staining with anti-Ddok antiserum
supports the notion that the phenotypes associated with embryos derived from
DdokPG155 GLCs result from drastically reduced levels of
Ddok protein. Although lateral epidermal cells of stage 13 wild-type embryos
showed strong staining with Ddok specific antiserum
(Fig. 4B, part a) at the cell
periphery of the lateral epidermal cells and at the LE, similar staged embryos
that were derived from DdokPG155 GLCs did not express the
Ddok protein, as revealed by immunohistochemical staining
(Fig. 4B, part b). Wild-type
embryos also showed a low level of staining of the aminoserosa.

The expression of Dpp in LE cells, regulated through the JNK pathway, is observed as two lateral stripes, one on either side of stage 11 and 13 embryos (Fig. 4D, part a,c). Whole-mount in situ hybridization with a digoxigenin-labeled antisense RNA probe specific for dpp revealed an absence of dpp staining, specifically in the LE cells of stage 11 (Fig. 4D, part b) and stage 13 (Fig. 4D, part d) DdokPG155 GLC mutant embryos, maternally and zygotically mutant for DdokPG155. Loss of Dpp expression in the LE cells of DdokPG155 mutant embryos, together with their dorsal-open phenotype, indicates that Ddok is a component of the JNK signaling contributing to the process of DC.
The effects of the DdokPG155 mutation on DC was further investigated by F-actin staining of epidermis and amnioserosa of DdokPG155/Y and DdokPG155 GLC embryos with phalloidin at 10 hours and 12 hours AEL (Fig. 5). In DdokPG155/Y embryos, the normal intensity and pattern of actin distribution was preserved. However, the actin cable in the LE cells exhibited minor kinking and regional loss of staining in parts (Fig. 5B), compared with wild-type embryos (Fig. 5A). By contrast, despite initially stretching prior to the failure of DC (Fig. 5C, part a), Ddok GLCs showed decreased F-actin staining of all cells and a severe unevenness of the LE, with a loss of staining of the actin cable and of actin protrusions at the LE (Fig. 5C, part a,b).
Ddok is an upstream component of the JNK signaling pathway
The phenotype of DdokPG155 GLC mutant embryos indicates
that Ddok functions in the JNK pathway. To determine whether Ddok acts
upstream or downstream of JNK in the pathway, we tested whether constitutively
active Jun (hs-SEjunasp)
(Treier et al., 1995
) could
rescue the DC phenotype of DdokPG155 GLC-derived embryos.
Although 48% of GLC-derived embryos exhibited a dorsal open phenotype, only
31% of embryos from GLC-producing females crossed to
hs-SEjunasp shared this phenotype
(Table 1). The percentage of
rescue observed (19%) is significant, as hs-SEjunasp
fathers are heterozygous for the transgene and only 25% of the unhatched
embryos are expected to contain it. Cuticles of these embryos exhibited a less
severe DC defect (small anterior holes) than the dorsal open phenotype of the
unrescued embryos (Fig. 6B).
These rescued embryos die at late embryonic stage and do not hatch to
larvae.

Src family kinases act upstream of Syk family kinases in mammalian cells.
As Shark belongs to the Syk family, we also examined the epistatic
relationship between Src42A and Ddok by crossing DdokPG155
GLC flies to male flies homozygous for hsSrc42A22.3
(Lu and Li, 1999
)
(Fig. 6E). The percentage of DC
defective embryos from this cross was not significantly altered (from 48% to
44%) by expression of Src42A, indicating that Src is not capable of rescuing
the Ddok mutant phenotype. Furthermore, an activated form of Src
(UAS-Src42A.CA) (Tateno et al.,
2000
) driven by hs-Gal4 failed to rescue
DdokPG155 mutants.
Decreased expression of tyrosine phosphorylated Shark at the cell periphery in Ddok mutant embryos
As Ddok is expressed at the cell peripheries of LE, lateral epidermal and
S2 cells, and overexpression of Shark rescues DC in Ddok mutant
embryos, one mechanism of action of Ddok could be to localize Shark for
activation. However, there was no discernable difference between wild-type and
Ddok mutant embryos stained with anti-Shark antiserum (data not shown). We
therefore prepared a phosphopeptide antibody (anti-pY927) to a Shark
phosopeptide containing Y927, which is phosphorylated when Shark is activated
in S2 cells (K. Hong, Y. G. Yeung and E.R.S., unpublished). In contrast to the
anti-phosphotyrosine antibody, which recognizes many bands in embryo extract
western blots (Fig. 7A, lane
2), anti-pY927 recognizes only a single band
(Fig. 7A, lane 1) with the
Mr of Shark (
116 kDa); this recognition is lost on
prior phosphatase treatment of the blot
(Fig. 7B), indicating that
recognition by anti-pY927 is dependent on phosphorylation. Staining of
wild-type embryos with anti-pY927 revealed that tyrosine phosphorylated Shark
was localized to the cell peripheries of LE and lateral epidermal cells
(Fig. 7C). By contrast, this
intense localization of pY927 Shark was substantially reduced in
DdokPG155 GLC embryos
(Fig. 7D). These data indicate
the involvement of Ddok in the localization and activation of Shark during
DC.
| DISCUSSION |
|---|
|
|
|---|
The interaction between the Ddok C-terminal and Shark N-terminal region was
shown to be dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation of Ddok by activated Src,
and to be reduced by mutation of each of four Ddok tyrosines to phenylalanine.
Co-expression studies in S2 cells showed that full-length Shark associates
with full-length Ddok, that Ddok is tyrosine phosphorylated and that Ddok
tyrosine phosphorylation, in the presence or absence of Shark, is Src
dependent. Two Ddok tyrosines, Y499 and Y515, are present within an ITAM
consensus sequence. ITAMs consist of two repeats of conserved sequence
(Tyr-X-X-Leu/Ile) spaced by six to eight residues
(Isakov, 1998
) and, when the
conserved tyrosines are phosphorylated, serve as binding sites for SH2
domain-containing proteins, including Syk family members. The association of
Shark with tyrosine phosphorylated Ddok was substantially decreased in the
Ddok Y499, 515F double mutant, implying that association of Ddok and Shark is,
in part, mediated by the ITAM involving these Ddok phosphotyrosines.

Relevant to the synergism between Src and Shark in DC postulated above,
Src42A and Shark appear to function together downstream of bullwinkle
in stretch cells to regulate dorsal appendage cell movement in a
JNK-independent fashion (Tran and Berg,
2003
). Synergism between Shark and Ddok may take place in stretch
cells, where overexpression of Shark suppressed the bullwinkle-mutant
dorsal appendage phenotype. A similar synergism may take place during
cardiogenesis, which involves Ddok regulation
(Kim et al., 2004
).
The other Syk family tyrosine kinases, Syk and the mammalian ZAP-70, both
of which are predominantly localized to the cell cortical region of the T-cell
(Huby et al., 1997
), play
important roles in immunoreceptor signaling
(Chu et al., 1998
;
Latour and Veillette, 2001
).
In this study, we show that Ddok is required for the localization of Shark to
the membrane, where it is tyrosine phosphorylated and probably activated. As
Ddok functions to localize Shark to the plasma membrane, it is important to
determine the mechanism by which Shark is activated. Given the established
role of the Src family kinases Src42A and Tec29 in DC
(Tateno et al., 2000
), the Src
dependence of Ddok tyrosine phosphorylation in S2 cells, the failure of
Src42A22.3 and Src42A.CA to rescue the DC defect
of Ddok-deficient embryos, the association of Src42A and Src64B with Ddok
(Giot et al., 2003
), and the
fact that Shark is a member of the Syk family of tyrosine kinases, activation
of which is mediated by the Src kinases
(Chan et al., 1994
), the
involvement of the Src kinases in the direct activation of Shark is an
intriguing possibility.

1 year of age. As the
expression patterns of the mammalian Dok proteins overlap, it is possible that
they act redundantly, and that it will be necessary to eliminate the function
of several Dok genes in order to obtain stronger phenotypic effects.
Considerable insight into the function of Dok proteins may be gained from
studies of Ddok, as it is the unique member of this family in
Drosophila.
