• The association of the src homology 2 (SH2) domain‐containing tyrosine phosphatase (SH‐PTP2) with the activated epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet‐derived growth factor receptors, as well as the insulin receptor substrate 1 and growth‐factor‐receptor‐bound protein 2 and its intrinsic tyrosine phosphatase activity suggests an important role for this phosphatase in signal transduction. Previous studies have shown a positive role for SH‐PTP2 in growth‐factor‐mediated cell signaling. We show here that SH‐PTP2 can also function to negatively regulate EGF‐mediated signal transduction in the human glioma cell line SNB19. We demonstrate this by showing that, in SNB19 cells, which lack the ability to proliferate in response to EGF but retain the ability to bind EGF and also activate the EGF receptor as well as allow for the association of SH‐PTP2 with the phosphorylated receptor, stable overexpression of an interfering SH‐PTP2 mutant can restore the ability of these cells to proliferate in response to EGF.
