c-Src tyrosine kinase plays a critical role in signal transduction downstream of growth factor receptors, integrins and G protein-coupled receptors. We used stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) approach to identify additional substrates of c-Src tyrosine kinase in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. We have identified 10 known substrates and interactors of c-Src and Src family kinases along with 26 novel substrates. We have experimentally validated 4 of the novel proteins (NICE-4, RNA binding motif 10, FUSE-binding protein 1 and TRK-fused gene) as direct substrates of c-Src using in vitro kinase assays and cotransfection experiments. Significantly, using a c-Src specific inhibitor, we were also able to implicate 3 novel substrates (RNA binding motif 10, EWS1 and Bcl-2 associated transcription factor) in PDGF signaling. Finally, to identify the exact tyrosine residues that are phosphorylated by c-Src on the novel c-Src substrates, we designed custom peptide microarrays containing all possible tyrosine-containing peptides (312 unique peptides) and their mutant counterparts containing a Tyr --> Phe substitution from 14 of the identified substrates. Using this platform, we identified 34 peptides that are phosphorylated by c-Src. We have demonstrated that SILAC-based quantitative proteomics approach is suitable for identification of substrates of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and can be coupled with peptide microarrays for high-throughput identification of substrate phosphopeptides. mol wt:60kDa Other Aliases: ASV; Avian sarcoma virus; c SRC; CDNA FLJ14219 fis clone NT2RP3003800 highly similar to Rattus norvegicus tyrosine protein kinase pp60 c src mRNA; cSrc; EC 2.7.10.2; Neuronal CSRC tyrosine specific protein kinase; Neuronal SRC; Oncogene SRC; OTTHUMP00000030931; OTTHUMP00000174476; OTTHUMP00000174477; p60 Src; p60Src; pp60c src; pp60csrc; Proto oncogene tyrosine protein kinase Src; Protooncogene SRC; protooncogene SRC Rous sarcoma; SRC Oncogene; SRC1; Tyrosine kinase pp60c src; Tyrosine protein kinase SRC1; v src sarcoma (Schmidt Ruppin A 2) viral oncogene homolog avian; vsrc avian sarcoma (Schmidt Ruppin A2) viral oncogene homolog
