The requirement of protein kinase C zeta(zetaPKC) for maturation of X. laevis oocytes in response to insulin, p21ras, and phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase C has recently been shown. Here we present experimental evidence demonstrating that activation of zetaPKC is not only necessary but also sufficient by itself to activate maturation in oocytes and to produce deregulation of growth control in mouse fibroblasts. Furthermore, by using a dominant kinase-defective mutant zetaPKC, we confirm that this kinase is required for mitogenic activation in oocytes and fibroblasts. These results permit us to propose zetaPKC as a critical step downstream of p21ras in mitogenic signal transduction.
