While studying the stress regulation of p70/85 S6 kinase (S6K), we observed that anisomycin and UV light stimulated S6K activity, but that sorbitol inactivated S6K. Pretreatment with hyperosmotic stress also prevented the activation of S6K by both 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and anisomycin. Comparison of sorbitol and rapamycin revealed that both agents inactivated S6K and caused dephosphorylation of Ser/Thr-Pro sites in the COOH terminus of S6K, including Thr(412), a residue essential to S6K regulation, as determined by phospho-specific antibodies. Rapamycin-resistant S6K truncation mutants were similarly resistant to deactivation by sorbitol. Additionally, the PHAS-1 mobility shift, which is sensitive to rapamycin, was also found to be sensitive to osmotic stress. Experiments using the p38 inhibitor SB203580 and dominant negative mutants involving both stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase and p38 stress pathways indicated that these pathways are probably not involved in osmotic stress inhibition of S6K. Examining the potential involvement of a phosphatase, we found that sodium pyrophosphate, sodium vanadate, cyclosporin A, tautomycin, and okadaic acid had no effect on osmotic stress inhibition of S6K. However, calyculin A prevented both rapamycin- and sorbitol-mediated deactivation of S6K. Our results suggest that osmotic stress and rapamycin act through a calyculin A-sensitive phosphatase to cause dephosphorylation and deactivation of S6K.
