From the The small GTPases Ras or Rap1 were suggested to
mediate the stimulatory effect of some G protein-coupled receptors on
ERK activity in neuronal cells. Accordingly, we reported here that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), whose G
protein-coupled receptor triggers neuronal differentiation of the PC12
cell line via ERK1/2 activation, transiently activated Ras and induced
the sustained GTP loading of Rap1. Ras mediated peak stimulation of ERK
by PACAP, whereas Rap1 was necessary for the sustained activation
phase. However, PACAP-induced GTP-loading of Rap1 was not sufficient to
account for ERK activation by PACAP because 1) PACAP-elicited Rap1
GTP-loading depended only on phospholipase C, whereas maximal
stimulation of ERK by PACAP also required the activity of protein
kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and calcium-dependent signaling; and 2) constitutively active
mutants of Rap1, Rap1A-V12, and Rap1B-V12 only minimally stimulated the ERK pathway compared with Ras-V12. The effect of Rap1A-V12 was dramatically potentiated by the concurrent activation of PKC, the cAMP
pathway, and Ras, and this potentiation was blocked by dominant-negative mutants of Ras and Raf. Thus, this set of data indicated that GPCR-elicited GTP loading of Rap1 was not sufficient to
stimulate efficiently ERK in PC12 cells and required the permissive co-stimulation of PKA, PKC, or Ras.
