Interleukin 2 and diacylglycerol stimulate phosphorylation of 40 S ribosomal S6 protein. Correlation with increased protein synthesis and S6 kinase activation

SW Evans and WL Farrar

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and the synthetic diacylglycerol, 1-oleoyl-2- acetylglycerol (OAG), a direct activator of protein kinase C, induce phosphorylation of the ribosomal S6 protein in a murine IL-2-dependent lymphocyte clone. The phosphorylation of S6 protein was correlated with increased protein synthesis in this cell line. Using cell-free assay systems, two unique kinases capable of phosphorylating the S6 protein were identified, namely, a calcium/phospholipid-dependent phosphotransferase, protein kinase C, and a second phospholipid- independent kinase detected in crude cytosolic fractions. Peptide mapping of the S6 protein demonstrated that the degree of S6 phosphorylation stimulated by IL-2 and OAG was similar to that achieved using the second (calcium/phospholipid-independent) kinase but not to the level of phosphorylation achieved with protein kinase C. The kinase responsible for phosphorylating S6 was soluble in stimulated cells and was induced in a time-dependent manner by either IL-2 or diacylglycerol treatment of intact cells. These data support the notion that, although protein kinase C is activated by IL-2 or OAG, subsequent events such as S6 phosphorylation may be the result of the activation of secondary phosphotransferase systems regulated by protein kinase C.
