Expression of an oncogenic mutant G alpha i2 activates Ras in Rat-1 fibroblast cells
Abstract
It has been reported that expression of the active mutant of heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein alpha subunit G alpha i2 transforms Rat-1 cells. However, the G alpha i2-mediated mitogenic signaling pathways remain to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that inducible expression of the active mutant of G alpha i2 (G alpha i2(Q205L)) activates Ras and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in addition to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in Rat-1 cells. Our findings suggest that Ras may play a critical role in the G alpha i2-induced transformation and G alpha i2 can transduce signals from the Gi-coupled receptor to JNK and ERK in certain types of mammalian cells.
