In the interleukin 3-dependent hematopoietic cell line Ba/F3, inhibition of mitogen activated protein kinase, a member of the MAPK/JNK/SAPK kinase family that plays an important role in cell growth and death control, rapidly leads to severe apoptosis. However, most of the anti-apoptotic substrates of MAPK remain to be identified. Here we report that, upon IL-3 stimulation of Ba/F3 cells, the transcription factor GATA-1 is strongly phosphorylated at residue serine-26 (S26) by a MAPK-dependent pathway. Phosphorylation of GATA-1 increases GATA-1-mediated transcription of the E4bp4 survival gene without significantly changing GATA-1s DNA-binding affinity. Further characterization of GATA-1 phosphorylation site mutants revealed that the anti-apoptotic function of GATA-1 is strongly dependent upon its phosphorylation at the S26 position, and is likely mediated through its up-regulation of Bcl-XL expression. Taken together, our data demonstrate that MAPK-dependent GATA-1 phosphorylation is important for its transactivation of the E4bp4 gene, Bcl-XL expression and cell survival. Therefore, GATA-1 may represent a novel MAPK substrate that plays an essential role in a cytokine-mediated anti-apoptotic response.
