COMMUNICATION
gadd45 Is Not Required for Activation of c-Jun N-terminal Kinase or p38 during Acute Stress

From the Laboratory of Biological Chemistry, NIA, National Institutes of Health, Baltimore, Maryland 21224

Cells respond to environmental stress with activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38. Recent studies have implicated Gadd45 and two related proteins, MyD118/Gadd45beta and CR6/Gadd45gamma , as initiators of JNK/p38 signaling via their interaction with an upstream kinase MTK1. It was proposed that stress-induced expression of the Gadd45-related proteins leads to MTK1 activation and subsequent JNK/p38 activation. Using embryo fibroblasts from gadd45-null mice, we have addressed the requirement for Gadd45 in mediating JNK/p38 activation during acute stress. Comparison of JNK/p38 activities in response to methyl methanesulfonate, hydrogen peroxide, UVC irradiation, sorbitol, and anisomycin treatment of gadd45+/+ and gadd45-/- fibroblasts revealed no deficiency in JNK/p38 activation in gadd45-/- fibroblasts. In addition, in wild type cells, JNK and p38 activation significantly preceded gadd45 induction with all stresses. Examination of myd118/gadd45beta and cr6/gadd45gamma expression in gadd45+/+ and gadd45-/- fibroblasts revealed similar induction patterns in the two cell types, which, like gadd45 expression, was delayed relative to JNK/p38 activation. We conclude that gadd45 expression is not required for activation of JNK/p38 by environmental stresses, nor are stress-induced increases in myd118/gadd45beta and cr6/gadd45gamma expression necessary for kinase activation in response to such insults.
