The small GTPases Ras or Rap1 were suggested to mediate the stimulatory effect of some G protein-coupled receptors on ERK activity in neuronal cells. Accordingly, we reported here that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), whose G protein-coupled receptor triggers neuronal differentiation of the PC12 cell line via ERK1/2 activation, transiently activated Ras and induced the sustained GTP loading of Rapl. Ras mediated peak stimulation of ERK by PACAP, whereas Rapl was necessary for the sustained activation phase. However, PACAP-induced GTP-loading of Rapl was not sufficient to account for ERK activation by PACAP because 1) PACAP-elicited Rapl GTP-loading depended only on phospholipase C, whereas maximal stimulation of ERK by PACAP also required the activity of protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and calcium-dependent signaling;, and 2) constitutively active mutants of Rapl, RaplA-V12, and Rap1B-V12 only minimally stimulated the ERK pathway compared with Ras-V12. The effect of Rap1A-V12 was dramatically potentiated by the concurrent activation of PKC, the cAMP pathway, and Ras, and this potentiation was blocked by dominant-negative mutants of Ras and Raf. Thus, this set of data indicated that GPCR-elicited GTP loading of Rapl was not sufficient to stimulate efficiently ERK in PC12 cells and required the permissive co-stimulation of PKA, PKC, or Ras.
