Src-mediated Phosphorylation of Hsp90 in Response to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Is Required for VEGF Receptor-2 Signaling to Endothelial NO Synthase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) release from endothelial cells, via endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activation, is central to the proangiogenic actions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF signaling to eNOS is principally mediated by an Akt-dependent phosphorylation of eNOS and by increased association of eNOS to the molecular chaperone, heat-shock protein 90 kDa (Hsp90). Herein, we report that VEGFR-2 activation induces tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2)-associated Hsp90beta. Tyrosine phosphorylation of Hsp90beta in response to VEGF is dependent on internalization of the VEGFR-2 and on Src kinase activation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that c-Src directly phosphorylates Hsp90 on tyrosine 300 residue and that this event is essential for VEGF-stimulated eNOS association to Hsp90 and thus NO release from endothelial cells. Our work identifies Y300 phosphorylation of Hsp90 as a novel regulated posttranslational modification of the chaperone and demonstrates its importance in the proangiogenic actions of VEGF, namely by regulating NO release from endothelial cells.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
