Evidence for an insulin receptor substrate 1 independent insulin signaling pathway that mediates insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) translocation.

Interaction of the activated insulin receptor (IR) with its substrate, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), via the phosphotyrosine binding domain of IRS-1 and the NPXY motif centered at phosphotyrosine 960 of the IR, is important for IRS-1 phosphorylation. We investigated the role of this interaction in the insulin signaling pathway that stimulates glucose transport. Utilizing microinjection of competitive inhibitory reagents in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, we have found that disruption of the IR/IRS-1 interaction has no effect upon translocation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4). The activity of these reagents was demonstrated by their ability to block insulin stimulation of two distinct insulin bioeffects, membrane ruffling and mitogenesis, in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and insulin-responsive rat 1 fibroblasts. These data suggest that phosphorylated IRS-1 is not an essential component of the metabolic insulin signaling pathway that leads to GLUT4 translocation, yet it appears to be required for other insulin bioeffects.
