We have previously shown that inhibition of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3 kinase severely attenuates the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) following engagement of integrin/fibronectin receptors and that Raf is the critical target of PI 3-kinase regulation [I], To investigate how PI 3-kinase regulates Raf, we examined sites on Raf1 required for regulation by PI 3-kinase and explored the mechanisms involved in this regulation. Serine 338 (Ser338), which was critical for fibronectin stimulation of Raf1, was phosphorylated in a PI 3-kinase-dependent manner following engagement of fibronectin receptors. In addition, fibronectin activation of a Raf1 mutant containing a phospho-mimic mutation (S338D) was independent of PI 3-kinase. Furthermore, integrin-induced activation of the serine/threonine kinase Pak-l,which has been shown to phosphorylate Raf1 Ser338, was also dependent on PI 3-kinase activity and expression of a kinase-inactive Pak-1 mutant blocked phosphorylation of Raf1 Ser338. These results indicate that PI 3-kinase regulates phosphorylation of Raf1 Ser338 through the serine/threonine kinase Pak. Thus, phosphorylation of Raf1 Ser338 through PI 3-kinase and Pak provides a co-stimulatory signal which together with Pas leads to strong activation of Raf1 kinase activity by integrins.
