Vinexin, a novel protein that plays a key role in cell spreading and cytoskeletal organization, contains three SH3 domains and binds to vinculin through its first and second SH3 domains. We show here that the third SH3 domain binds to Sos, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras and Rac, both in vitro and in vivo. Point mutations in the third SH3 domain abolished the vinexin-Sos interaction. Stimulation of NIH/3T3 cells with serum, epidermal growth factor (EGF), or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) decreased the electrophoretic mobility of Sos and concomitantly inhibited formation of the vinexin-Sos complex. Phosphatase treatment of lysates restored the binding of Sos to vinexin, suggesting that signaling from serum, EGF, or PDGF regulates the vinexin-Sos complex through the Sos phosphorylation. To evaluate the function of vinexin downstream of growth factors, we examined the effects of wild-type and mutant vinexin expression on extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) activation in response to EGF. Exogenous expression of vinexin beta in NIH/3T3 cells enhanced JNK/SAPK activation but did not affect Erk activation. Moreover mutations in the third SH3 domain abolished EGF activation of JNK/SAPK in a dominant-negative fashion, whereas they slightly stimulated Erk. Together these results suggest that vinexin can selectively modulate EGF-induced signal transduction pathways leading to JNK/SAPK kinase activation. 相似文献

Cells undergo M phase arrest in response to stresses like UV irradiation or DNA damage. Stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK, also known as c-Jun N-terminal kinase, JNK) is activated by such stress stimuli. We addressed the potential effects of SAPK activation on cell cycle regulatory proteins. Activation of SAPK strongly correlated with inhibition of cdc2/cyclin B kinase, an important regulator of G2/M phase. SAPK directly phosphorylated the cdc2 regulator, cdc25c, in vitro on serine 168 (S168). This residue was highly phosphorylated in vivo in response to stress stimuli. cdc25c phosphorylated on S168 in cells lacks phosphatase activity, and expression of a S168A mutant of cdc25c reversed the inhibition of cdc2/cyclin B kinase activity by cell stress. Antibodies directed against phosphorylated S168 detect increased phosphorylation of S168 after cell stress. We conclude that SAPK regulates cdc2/cyclin B kinase following stress events by a novel mechanism involving inhibitory phosphorylation of the cdc2-activating phosphatase cdc25c on S168. 相似文献

In Rat-1 fibroblasts epidermal growth factor (EGF), but not platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates the activity of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Moreover, PDGF induced suppression of EGF-mediated JNK activation, apparently through protein kinase C (PKC) activation. Further analysis revealed that PKD was specifically activated by PDGF but not EGF in Rat-1 cells. In SF126 glioblastoma cells, however, EGF and PDGF synergistically activated JNK, while neither PDGF nor EGF stimulated PKD activity. In this cell line, overexpression of PKD blocked EGF- and PDGF-induced JNK activation. Mutational analysis further revealed that the EGFR mutant (T654/669E) was incapable of activating JNK and provided evidence that PKD-mediated dual phosphorylation of these critical threonine residues leads to suppression of EGF-induced JNK activation. Our results establish a novel crosstalk mechanism which allows signal integration and definition in cells with many different RTKs. 相似文献

Protein kinase D (PKD) has been established as a negative modulator of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. We previously demonstrated that induced expression of constitutively active PKD (PKD-S744/748E) that mimics phosphorylation by PKC is sufficient to attenuate epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulated c-Jun Ser 63 phosphorylation, a natural substrate of JNK, in HEK 293 cells. Because the JNK pathway has been implicated in sustaining both lung and pancreatic cancerous phenotypes, we have utilized stable inducible expression of PKD-S744/748E in clones of A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and Panc1, pancreatic cancer cells to determine its effects on JNK signaling in the context of the cancerous phenotype. In contrast to HEK 293 cells, induced expression of PKD-S744/748E in either A549 NSCLC or Panc1 cells failed to attenuate EGF dependent phosphorylation of c-Jun, indicating that EGF stimulated JNK phosphorylation of c-Jun is uncoupled from PKD suppression in these cancer cells. 相似文献

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation stimulates stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK), which is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily and implicated in stress-induced apoptosis. UV also induces the activation of another MAPK member, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), which is typically involved in a growth-signaling cascade. However, the UV-induced signaling pathway leading to ERK activation, together with the physiological role, has remained unknown. Here we examined the molecular mechanism and physiological function of UV-induced ERK activation in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells that retain a high number of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors. UV-induced ERK activation was accompanied with the Tyr phosphorylation of EGF receptors, and both responses were completely abolished in the presence of a selective EGF receptor inhibitor (AG1478) or the Src inhibitor PP2 and by the expression of a kinase-dead Src mutant. On the other hand, SAPK/JNK activation by UV was partially inhibited by these inhibitors. UV stimulated Src activity in a manner similar to the ERK activation, but the Src activation was insensitive to AG1478. UV-induced cell apoptosis measured by DNA fragmentation and caspase 3 activation was enhanced by AG1478 and an ERK kinase inhibitor (U0126) but inhibited by EGF receptor stimulation by the agonist. These results indicate that UV-induced ERK activation, which provides a survival signal against stress-induced apoptosis, is mediated through Src-dependent Tyr phosphorylation of EGF receptors. 相似文献

The impact of DNA damage-induced replication blockage for early activation of stress kinases [stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)] is largely unknown. Here, we show that induction of dual phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK by the DNA polymerase inhibitor aphidicolin was not ameliorated by additional exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, indicating that overlapping mechanisms participate in signaling to SAPK/JNK triggered by both agents. UV-induced DNA replication blockage, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer formation and DNA strand break induction coincided with SAPK/JNK phosphorylation at early (≤ 30 min) but not late (≥ 2 h) time points after exposure. Genotoxin-stimulated SAPK/JNK activation was attenuated in nonproliferating cells, indicating that S phase-dependent mechanisms are involved in signaling to SAPK/JNK. Correspondingly, UV-induced phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK was higher in S-phase cells as compared with G1-phase cells. Activation of SAPK/JNK by genotoxins was below detection limit in nonproliferating human peripheral blood lymphocytes, whereas peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated to proliferation displayed clear SAPK/JNK activation. UV-induced phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK was attenuated in XPC-defective cells, ameliorated in BRCA2 mutated cells and not changed in cells lacking ATM, DNA-PK, CSB, XPA, p53, ERCC1 or PARP as compared with the corresponding wild types. Based on these data, we suggest that DNA replication blockage caused by genotoxin-induced DNA damage contributes to early activation of SAPK/JNK. 相似文献

Mammalian members related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae serine/threonine kinase STE20 can be divided into two subfamilies based on their structure and function. The PAK subfamily is characterized by an N-terminal p21-binding domain (also known as CRIB domain), a C-terminal kinase domain, and is regulated by the small GTP-binding proteins Rac1 and Cdc42Hs. The second group is represented by the GCK-like members, which contain an N-terminal catalytic domain and lack the p21-binding domain. Some of them have been demonstrated to induce c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) cascade, while others have been shown to be activated by a subset of stress conditions or apoptotic agents, although little is known about their specific function. Here, we have identified a novel human STE20-related serine/threonine kinase, belonging to the GCK-like subfamily. This kinase does not induce the JNK/SAPK pathway, but, instead, inhibits the basal activity of JNK/SAPK, and diminishes its activation in response to human epidermal growth factor (EGF). Therefore, we designated this molecule JIK for JNK/SAPK-inhibitory kinase. The inhibition of JNK/SAPK signaling pathway by JIK was found to occur between the EGF receptor and the small GTP-binding proteins Rac1 and Cdc42Hs. In contrast, JIK does not activate nor does it inhibit ERK2, ERK6, p38, or ERK5. Furthermore, JIK kinase activity is not modulated by any exogenous stimuli, but, interestingly, it is dramatically decreased upon EGF receptor activation. Thus, JIK might represent the first member of the STE20 kinase family whose activity can be negatively regulated by tyrosine kinase receptors, and whose downstream targets inhibit, rather than enhance, JNK/SAPK activation. 相似文献

It is recognized that heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is highly expressed in heart. In the present study, we investigated whether platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) phosphorylates HSP27 in mouse myocytes, and the mechanism underlying the HSP27 phosphorylation. Administration of PDGF-BB induced the phosphorylation of HSP27 at Ser-15 and -85 in mouse cardiac muscle in vivo. In primary cultured myocytes, PDGF-BB time dependently phosphorylated HSP27 at Ser-15 and -85. PDGF-BB stimulated the phosphorylation of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, p38 MAP kinase, and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) among the MAP kinase superfamily. SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, reduced the PDGF-BB-stimulated phosphorylation of HSP27 at both Ser-15 and -85, and phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase. However, PD98059, a specific inhibitor of MEK, or SP600125, a specific inhibitor of SAPK/JNK, failed to affect the HSP27 phosphorylation. These results strongly suggest that PDGF-BB phosphorylates HSP27 at Ser-15 and -85 via p38 MAP kinase in cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

The effect of GSTA1-1 (glutathione S-transferase Alpha 1-1) on JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) activation was investigated in Caco-2 cells in which GSTA1 expression increases with degree of confluency, and in MEF3T3 cells with Tet-Off-inducible GSTA1 expression. Comparison of GSTA1 expression in pre-confluent, confluent and 8-day post-confluent Caco-2 cells revealed progressively increasing mRNA and protein levels at later stages of confluency. Exposure of pre-confluent cells to stress conditions including IL-1beta (interleukin-1beta), H2O2 or UV irradiation resulted in marked increases in JNK activity as indicated by c-Jun phosphorylation. However, JNK activation was significantly reduced in post-confluent cells exposed to the same stresses. Western-blot analysis of GSTA1-1 protein bound to JNK protein pulled down from cellular extracts showed approx. 4-fold higher GSTA1-1-JNK complex formation in post-confluent cells compared with pre-confluent cells. However, stress conditions did not alter the amount of GSTA1-1 bound to JNK. The role of GSTA1-1 in JNK suppression was more specifically revealed in Tet-Off-inducible MEF3T3-GSTA1-1 cells in which GSTA1 overexpression significantly reduced phosphorylation of c-Jun following exposure to IL-1beta, H2O2 and UV irradiation. Finally, the incidence of tumour necrosis factor alpha/butyrate-induced apoptosis was significantly higher in pre-confluent Caco-2 cells expressing low levels of GSTA1 compared with post-confluent cells. These results indicate that GSTA1 suppresses activation of JNK signalling by a pro-inflammatory cytokine and oxidative stress and suggests a protective role for GSTA1-1 in JNK-associated apoptosis. 相似文献

c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) is involved in the regulation of various cellular functions including cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis. However, whether JNK/SAPK directly regulates the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) has not yet been fully elucidated. Our present study firstly demonstrated VEGFA-induced angiogenic responses including the increase of cell viability, migration, and tube formation with a concentration-dependent manner in HUVECs. Further results showed that VEGFA induced the activation of JNK/SAPK, p38 kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), while JNK/SAPK inhibitor SP600125 and specific siRNA both blocked all those angiogenic effects induced by VEGFA. Furthermore, VEGFA induced the phosphorylation of ASK1, SEK1/MKK4, MKK7, and c-Jun, which are upstream or downstream signals of JNK/SAPK. In addition, in vivo matrigel plug assay further showed that SP600125 inhibited VEGFA-induced angiogenesis. Further results showed that SP600125 and JNK/SAPK siRNA decreased VEGFA-induced VEGFR2 (Flk-1/KDR) sustained phosphorylation in HUVECs. Taken together, all these results demonstrate that JNK/SAPK regulates VEGFA-induced VEGFR2 sustained phosphorylation, which plays important roles in VEGFA-induced angiogenesis in HUVECs. 相似文献

Stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK), which is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, plays an important role in a stress-induced signaling cascade. SAPK/JNK activation requires the phosphorylation of Thr and Tyr residues in its Thr-Pro-Tyr motif, and SEK1 (MKK4) and MKK7 (SEK2) have been identified as the upstream MAPK kinases. Here we examined the activation and phosphorylation sites of SAPK/JNK and differentiated the contribution of SEK1 and MKK7alpha1, -gamma1, and -gamma2 isoforms to the MAPK activation. In SEK1-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells, stress-induced SAPK/JNK activation was markedly impaired, and this defect was accompanied with a decreased level of the Tyr phosphorylation. Analysis in HeLa cells co-transfected with the two MAPK kinases revealed that the Thr and Tyr of SAPK/JNK were independently phosphorylated in response to heat shock by MKK7gamma1 and SEK1, respectively. However, MKK7alpha1 failed to phosphorylate the Thr of SAPK/JNK unless its Tyr residue was phosphorylated by SEK1. In contrast, MKK7gamma2 had the ability to phosphorylate both Thr and Tyr residues. In all cases, the dual phosphorylation of the Thr and Tyr residues was essentially required for the full activation of SAPK/JNK. These data provide the first evidence that synergistic activation of SAPK/JNK requires both phosphorylation at the Thr and Tyr residues in living cells and that the preference for the Thr and Tyr phosphorylation was different among the members of MAPK kinases. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) transduce extracellular signals into responses such as growth, differentiation, and death through their phosphorylation of specific substrate proteins. Early studies showed the consensus sequence (Pro/X)-X-(Ser/Thr)-Pro to be phosphorylated by MAPKs. Docking domains such as the "kinase interaction motif" (KIM) also appear to be crucial for efficient substrate phosphorylation. Here, we show that stress-activated protein kinase-3 (SAPK3), a p38 MAPK subfamily member, localizes to the mitochondria. Activated SAPK3 phosphorylates the mitochondrial protein Sab, an in vitro substrate of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Sab phosphorylation by SAPK3 was dependent on the most N-terminal KIM (KIM1) of Sab and occurred primarily on Ser321. This appeared to be dependent on the position of Ser321 within Sab and the sequence immediately surrounding it. Our results suggest that SAPK3 and JNK may share a common target at the mitochondria and provide new insights into the substrate recognition by SAPK3. 相似文献

The antineoplastic agent paclitaxel (TaxolTM), a microtubule stabilizing agent, is known to arrest cells at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and induce apoptosis. We and others have recently demonstrated that paclitaxel also activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) signal transduction pathway in various human cell types, however, no clear role has been established for JNK/SAPK in paclitaxel-induced apoptosis. To further examine the role of JNK/SAPK signaling cascades in apoptosis resulting from microtubular dysfunction induced by paclitaxel, we have coexpressed dominant negative (dn) mutants of signaling proteins of the JNK/SAPK pathway (Ras, ASK1, Rac, JNKK, and JNK) in human ovarian cancer cells with a selectable marker to analyze the apoptotic characteristics of cells expressing dn vectors following exposure to paclitaxel. Expression of these dn signaling proteins had no effect on Bcl-2 phosphorylation, yet inhibited apoptotic changes induced by paclitaxel up to 16 h after treatment. Coexpression of these dn signaling proteins had no protective effect after 48 h of paclitaxel treatment. Our data indicate that: (i) activated JNK/SAPK acts upstream of membrane changes and caspase-3 activation in paclitaxel-initiated apoptotic pathways, independently of cell cycle stage, (ii) activated JNK/SAPK is not responsible for paclitaxel-induced phosphorylation of Bcl-2, and (iii) apoptosis resulting from microtubule damage may comprise multiple mechanisms, including a JNK/SAPK-dependent early phase and a JNK/SAPK-independent late phase. 相似文献

We previously reported that prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) stimulates the induction of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated whether PGD(2) stimulates the phosphorylation of HSP27 in MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to heat shock. In the cultured MC3T3-E1 cells, PGD(2) markedly stimulated the phosphorylation of HSP27 at Ser-15 and Ser-85 in a time-dependent manner. Among the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase superfamily, p44/p42 MAP kinase and p38 MAP kinase were phosphorylated by PGD(2) which had little effect on the phosphorylation of stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). The PGD(2)-induced phosphorylation of HSP27 was attenuated by PD169316, an inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase or PD98059, a MEK inhibitor. SP600125, a SAPK/JNK inhibitor did not affect the HSP27 phosphorylation. In addition, PD169316 suppressed the PGD(2)-induced phosphorylation of MAPKAP kinase 2. These results strongly suggest that PGD(2) stimulates HSP27 phosphorylation via p44/p42 MAP kinase and p38 MAP kinase but not SAPK/JNK in osteoblasts. 相似文献

Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessels formation, is a critical step for wound healing, tumour growth and metastasis, diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, etc. The present study was designed to investigate whether c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) is critical for regulating basic fibroblastic growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Our results showed that bFGF-induced HUVECs proliferation, migration and tube formation with a concentration-dependent manner. Further results showed that bFGF induced the phosphorylation of JNK/SAPK at 15 min. Both JNK/SAPK inhibitor SP600125 and JNK/SAPK peptide inhibitor 420116 could inhibit bFGF-induced HUVECs proliferation, migration and tube formation, so did JNK/SAPK-specific siRNA. Moreover, when HUVECs were stimulated with bFGF, upstream signals of JNK/SAPK, SEK1/MKK4 and MKK7 were both activated at 2 min. In summary, our results indicate that JNK/SAPK signal pathway plays an important role in regulating bFGF-mediated angiogenesis in HUVECs, which may therefore be a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of angiogenesis-associated diseases. 相似文献

Stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK), belonging to the mitogen-activated protein kinase family, plays an important role in stress signaling. SAPK/JNK activation requires the phosphorylation of both Thr and Tyr residues in its Thr-Pro-Tyr motif, and SEK1 and MKK7 have been identified as the dual specificity kinases. In this study, we generated mkk7(-/-) mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in addition to sek1(-/-) cells and compared the two kinases in terms of the activation and phosphorylation of JNK. Although SAPK/JNK activation by various stress signals was markedly impaired in both sek1(-/-) and mkk7(-/-) ES cells, there were striking differences in the dual phosphorylation profile. The severe impairment observed in mkk7(-/-) cells was accompanied by a loss of the Thr phosphorylation of JNK without marked reduction in its Tyr-phosphorylated level. On the other hand, Thr phosphorylation of JNK in sek1(-/-) cells was also attenuated in addition to a decreased level of its Tyr phosphorylation. Analysis in human embryonic kidney 293T cells transfected with a kinase-dead SEK1 or a Thr-Pro-Phe mutant of JNK1 revealed that SEK1-induced Tyr phosphorylation of JNK1 was followed by additional Thr phosphorylation by MKK7. Furthermore, SEK1 but not MKK7 was capable of binding to JNK1 in 293T cells. These results indicate that the Tyr and Thr residues of SAPK/JNK are sequentially phosphorylated by SEK1 and MKK7, respectively, in the stress-stimulated ES cells. 相似文献
