Centaurin-alpha1 is known to be a phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3)-binding protein that has two pleckstrin homology domains and a putative ADP ribosylation factor GTPase-activating protein domain. However, the physiological function of centaurin-alpha1 is still not understood. Here we have shown that transient expression of centaurin-alpha1 in COS-7 cells results in specific activation of ERK, and the activation is inhibited by co-expression of a dominant negative form of Ras. We have also found that a mutant form of centaurin-alpha1 that is unable to bind PIP3 fails to induce ERK activation and that a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 inhibits centaurin-alpha1-dependent ERK activation. Furthermore, transient knockdown of centaurin-alpha1 by small interfering RNAs results in reduced ERK activation after epidermal growth factor stimulation in T-REx 293 cells. These results suggest that centaurin-alpha1 contributes to ERK activation in growth factor signaling, linking the PI3K pathway to the ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway through its ability to interact with PIP3.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
