Recent evidence has indicated a requirement for a
Src family kinase in initiating Ca2+ release at
fertilization in starfish eggs (Giusti, A. F., Carroll, D. J., Abassi, Y. A., Terasaki, M., Foltz, K. R., and Jaffe,
L. A. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 29318-29322).
We now show that injection of Src protein into starfish eggs initiates
Ca2+ release and DNA synthesis, as occur at fertilization.
These responses depend on the phosphorylation state of the Src protein;
only the kinase active form is effective. Like Ca2+ release
at fertilization, the Ca2+ release in response to Src
protein injection is inhibited by prior injection of the SH2 domains of
phospholipase C . These findings support the conclusion that in
starfish, sperm-egg interaction causes egg activation by sequential
activation of a Src-like kinase and phospholipase C . Injection of
the SH2 domain of Src, which inhibits Ca2+ release at
fertilization, does not inhibit Ca2+ release caused by Src
protein injection. This indicates that the requirement for a Src SH2
domain interaction is upstream of Src activation in the pathway leading
to Ca2+ release at fertilization.
