RESUMO
RAC protein kinase (RAC-PK), a serine/threonine protein kinase containing a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, was activated by cellular stress such as heat shock and hyperosmolarity. Wortmannin, which is known as a potent inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and normally inhibits growth factor-induced activation of RAC-PK, did not suppress heat-shock induced activation of RAC-PK, indicating that this stress-induced activation of the kinase is not mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The PH domain was indispensable for stress-induced activation of RAC PK. In heat-treated cells, PKC delta, a member of the protein kinase C family, was found to associate with the PH domain of RAC-PK. This PKC subspecies was phosphorylated in vitro by RAC-PK. The results suggest that RAC-PK may play a role in the cellular response to stress through its PH domain.
