Abstract

PLATELET-DERIVED growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) phosphory-lation at tyrosines 740/751 and insulin receptor phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 effects the recruitment and activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PIK)1–5. Changes in PI(3)K activity correlate with cell growth but its downstream signal transducers are unknown4,5. Activation of the 70/85K S6 kinases (pp70S6k) by serine phosphorylation6,7 results in 40S ribosomal protein S6 phosphorylation and is important for Gl cell-cycle transition in a variety of cells8–11. Although receptor tyrosine kinases activate the microtubule-associated protein kinase cascade through SH2-/SH3-adaptor proteins, Sos and c-Ras12, it is unclear how tyrosine kinases are coupled to the pp70S6k phosphorylation cascade. Here we report that PI(3)K mediates PDGF or insulin receptor signalling to pp70S6k. PI(3)K-mediated activation of pp70S6k is independent of conventional protein kinase C isoforms. Additionally, rapamycin blocks pp70S6k activation by all mitogens8–10, without inhibiting PI(3)K, and acts downstream in this signalling system.
