Abstract

Recent studies have shown that ligand-activated growth factor receptors as well as transforming versions of nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinases physically associate with phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3 kinase). Reasoning that PI-3 kinase might also play a role in the normal functions of nonreceptor kinases, we sought to determine whether association with PI-3 kinase might serve as a measure of nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase activation under physiological conditions. We found that p60c-src as well as p59fyn, the product of another member of the src family of proto-oncogenes, physically associated with a PI kinase activity within 5 s after exposure to thrombin. Furthermore, PI kinase reaction products generated in p60v-src, p60c-src or p59fyn containing immunoprecipitates were indistinguishable, demonstrating the identity of the associated enzyme as PI-3 kinase. These findings demonstrate a thrombin-dependent interaction between p60c-src or p59fyn and PI-3 kinase and suggest a role for nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinases in human platelet signal transduction.
