The mechanism of Raf-1 activation by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is poorly defined. We previously reported that, in Rat-1 fibroblasts, PDGF activates a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) and that the product, diacylglycerol, somehow activates protein kinase C-zeta (PKC-zeta). Both PC-PLC and PKC-zeta activities were required for PDGF activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Now we report that MAPK activation by exogenous PC-PLC depends on Raf-1 activation. PKC-zeta co-immunoprecipitates with, phoshorylates and activates Raf-1, suggesting that in the PDGF- and PC-PLC-activated MAPK pathway, PKC-zeta operates in a signalling complex as a direct activator of Raf-1.
血小板衍生生长因子(PDGF)激活Raf-1的机制尚不清楚。我们之前报道过,在大鼠1型成纤维细胞中,PDGF激活磷脂酰胆碱特异性磷脂酶C(PC-PLC),其产物二酰基甘油以某种方式激活蛋白激酶C-ζ(PKC-ζ)。有丝分裂原激活蛋白激酶(MAPK)的PDGF激活需要PC-PLC和PKC-ζ的活性。现在我们报道,外源性PC-PLC激活MAPK依赖于Raf-1的激活。PKC-ζ与Raf-1共免疫沉淀、磷酸化并激活Raf-1,这表明在PDGF和PC-PLC激活的MAPK途径中,PKC-ζ作为Raf-1的直接激活剂在信号复合物中发挥作用。
