Stimulation of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor results in phosphorylation and activation of cytosolic Raf-1 serine/threonine kinase. Herein, we report that enzymatically active Raf-1 is physically associated with the IL-2 receptor beta chain (p75) in T-cell blasts. Following stimulation with IL-2, Raf-1 dissociates from the IL-2 receptor complex and translocates to the cytosol. Genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prevents the dissociation of enzymatically active Raf-1 from the ligand-stimulated IL-2 receptor complex. These data favor a model of IL-2 receptor activation in which an IL-2-activated protein tyrosine kinase phosphorylates the IL-2 receptor and/or receptor-bound Raf-1. Following tyrosine phosphorylation, enzymatically active Raf-1 dissociates from the IL-2 receptor and translocates into the cytosol.
