From the Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces
various cellular responses by activating many UV-responsive enzymes
including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Various G
protein-coupled receptor agonists also activate MAPKs, but it is not
known whether or not G proteins also mediate the UV-induced activation
of MAPKs. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine whether the

-subunit (G
) mediates the UV-induced activation
of p38 and JNK. G
overexpression in COS-1 cells amplified the
UV-induced activation of p38 but reduced JNK activation. The
overexpression of the C-terminal region of
-adrenergic
receptor kinase (
ARKct) decreased the UV-induced activation of p38
but increased JNK activation.
G

2 expression increased
MKK3/6 phosphorylation with a concomitant decrease in MKK4
phosphorylation, which contrasts with
ARKct expression. G

2 or
ARKct expression resulted in
corresponding changes in the transcriptional activity of CHOP
and c-Jun. Treatment with a p38 inhibitor, SB203580, or the expression
of a kinase-inactive p38 increased the UV-induced JNK activation.
Expression of the constitutively active MKK6 decreased the UV-induced
JNK activation. In summary, although the endogenous G
was found
to mediate about half of the UV-induced activation of p38, it was
found that exogenous G
mediates the bi-directional regulation of
UV-induced p38 and JNK activation, and that this bi-directional
regulation results from the inhibition of JNK activation by the p38
activated via G
in the COS-1 cells.
