摘要

alpha-thrombin is a potent mitogen for fibroblasts and initiates a rapid signal transduction pathway leading to the activation of Ras and the stimulation of cell cycle progression. While the signaling events downstream of Ras have been studied in significant detail and appear well conserved across many species and cell types, the precise molecular events beginning with thrombin receptor activation and leading to the activation of Ras are not as well understood. In this study, we examined the immediate events in the rapid response to alpha-thrombin, in a single cell type, and found that an unexpected degree of specificity exists in the pathway linking alpha-thrombin to Ras activation. Specifically, although IIC9 cells express all three Ras isoforms, only N-Ras is rapidly activated by alpha-thrombin. Further, although several G alpha subunits associate with PAR1 and are released following stimulation, only G alpha(i2) couples to the rapid activation of Ras. Similarly, although IIC9 cells express many G beta and G gamma subunits, only a subset associates with G alpha(i2), and of those, only a single G beta gamma dinner, G beta(1)gamma(5), participates in the rapid activation of N-Ras. We then hypothesized that co-localization into membrane microdomains called lipid rafts, or caveolae, is at least partially responsible for this degree of specificity. Accordingly, we found that all components localize to lipid rafts and that disruption of caveolae abolishes the rapid activation of N-Ras by alpha-thrombin. We thus report the molecular elucidation of an extremely specific and rapid signal transduction pathway linking alpha-thrombin stimulation to the activation of Ras.
