ABSTRACT G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to stimulate extracellular regulated kinases (ERKs) through a number of linear pathways that are initiated by Gq/11 or Giproteins. We studied signaling to the ERK cascade by receptors that simultaneously activate both G protein subfamilies. In HEK293T cells, bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R)-induced stimulation of ERK2 and transcriptional activity of Elk1 are dependent on Gαq-mediated protein kinase C (PKC) and on Gαi-induced Ras activation, while they are independent of Gβγ subunits, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and tyrosine kinases. Similar results were obtained with m1 and m3muscarinic receptors in HEK293T cells and with the B2R in human and mouse fibroblasts, indicating a general mechanism in signaling toward the ERK cascade. Furthermore, the bradykinin-induced activation of ERK is strongly reduced in Gαq/11-deficient fibroblasts. In addition, we found that constitutively active mutants of Gαq/11 or Gαi proteins alone poorly stimulate ERK2, whereas a combination of both led to synergistic effects. We conclude that dually coupled GPCRs require a cooperation of Gαi- and Gq/11-mediated pathways for efficient stimulation of the ERK cascade. Cooperative signaling by multiple G proteins thus might represent a novel concept implicated in the regulation of cellular responses by GPCRs.

The effect of aluminum (AI) on inorganic phosphate (P(i)) transport stimulation induced by fluoride (F) was investigated in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells. Al potentiated the increase in P(i) transport activity induced by F in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Results obtained with deferoxamine mesylate, an Al chelator, suggest that a fluoroalumino complex is probably the active F molecule responsible for the change in P(i) transport observed in this study. The signaling pathway responsible for the stimulation of P(i) transport by F+Al likely involves a tyrosine phosphorylation process but neither a protein kinase C nor a mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. As previously found in UMR-106 cells for F alone, F+Al potentiated the change in P(i) transport induced by fetal calf serum. A similar interaction was found between F+Al and thrombin acting through a G protein-coupled receptor. These observations are compatible with the hypothesis that F+Al could interact with G protein-coupled receptors associated with a signaling tyrosine phosphorylation process involved in the regulation of P(i), transport in osteoblast-like cells.
