Activation of CD38 in lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells involves interleukin-8 (IL8)-mediated protein kinase G (PKG) activation and results in an increase in the sustained intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i), cADP-ribose, and LAK cell migration. However, direct phosphorylation or activation of CD38 by PKG has not been observed in vitro. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism of PKG-mediated activation of CD38. Nonmuscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MHCIIA) was identified as a CD38-associated protein upon IL8 stimulation. The IL8-induced association of MHCIIA with CD38 was dependent on PKG-mediated phosphorylation of MHCIIA. Supporting these observations, IL8- or cell-permeable cGMP analog-induced formation of cADP-ribose, increase in [Ca²⁺]_i, and migration of LAK cells were inhibited by treatment with the MHCIIA inhibitor blebbistatin. Binding studies using purified proteins revealed that the association of MHCIIA with CD38 occurred through Lck, a tyrosine kinase. Moreover, these three molecules co-immunoprecipitated upon IL8 stimulation of LAK cells. IL8 treatment of LAK cells resulted in internalization of CD38, which co-localized with MHCIIA and Lck, and blebbistatin blocked internalization of CD38. These findings demonstrate that the association of phospho-MHCIIA with Lck and CD38 is a critical step in the internalization and activation of CD38.
