Abstract
The cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) rapidly activates a latent cytoplasmic transcription factor, acute-phase response factor (APRF), by tyrosine phosphorylation. Activation and DNA binding of APRF are inhibited by inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases but not serine/threonine kinases. However, immediate-early gene induction by IL-6 and, as we show here, stimulation of the promoters of the genes for alpha 2-macroglobulin, Jun-B, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) are blocked by the serine/threonine kinase inhibitor H7. We now show that IL-6 triggers a delayed phosphorylation of APRF at serine resudues which can be reversed in vitro by protein phosphatase 2A and is also inhibited by H7. Therefore, APRF serine phosphorylation is likely to represent a crucial event in IL-6 signal transduction leading to target gene induction.
