1 15492006 G alpha 13 signals via p115RhoGEF cascades regulating JNK1 and primitive endoderm formation.
2 15492006 The heterotrimeric G-protein G(13) mediates the formation of primitive endoderm from mouse P19 embryonal carcinoma cells in response to retinoic acid, signaling to the level of activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase.
3 15492006 The signal linkage map from MEKK1/MEKK4 to MEK1/MKK4 to JNK is obligate in this G alpha(13)-mediated pathway, whereas that between G alpha(13) and MEKKs is not known.
4 15492006 Constitutively active G alpha(13) was found to activate RhoA as well as Cdc42 and Rac1 in these cells.
5 15492006 Although constitutively active Cdc42, Rac1, and RhoA all can activate JNK1, only the RhoA mutant was able to promote formation of primitive endoderm, mimicking expression of the constitutively activated G alpha(13).
6 15492006 Expression of the constitutively active mutant form of p115RhoGEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor) was found to activate RhoA and JNK1 activities.
7 15492006 Expression of the dominant negative p115RhoGEF was able to inhibit activation of both RhoA and JNK1 in response to either retinoic acid or the expression of a constitutively activated mutant of G alpha(13).
8 15492006 Expression of the dominant negative mutants of RhoA as well as those of either Cdc42 or Rac1, but not Ras, attenuated G alpha(13)-stimulated as well as retinoic acid-stimulated activation of all three of these small molecular weight GTPases, suggesting complex interrelationships among the three GTPases in this pathway.
9 15492006 The formation of primitive endoderm in response to retinoic acid also could be blocked by expression of dominant negative mutants of RhoA, Cdc42, or Rac1.
10 15492006 Thus, the signal propagated from G alpha(13) to JNK requires activation of p115RhoGEF cascades, including p115RhoGEF itself, RhoA, Cdc42, and Rac1.
11 15492006 In a concerted effort, RhoA in tandem with Cdc42 and Rac1 activates the MEKK1/4, MEK1/MKK4, and JNK cascade, thereby stimulating formation of primitive endoderm.
