KCl-treatment of PC12 cells induces depolarization of the plasma membrane and Ca2+ influx into the cells. We have previously shown that KCl induced tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins of 120, 110, 68, 44, and 42 k, and that the 68 k protein was paxillin. In the present study, we found that the 120 k protein was a Crk-associated Src substrate, p130(cas). KCl-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(cas) was not observed in EGTA-containing medium, suggesting that it was due to Ca2+ influx into the cells. Time course experiments showed that tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(cas) peaked at 5 min after stimulation and returned to the basal level at 60 min, while mobility shift of p130(cas) was observed within 2 min and lasted over 60 min, indicating that serine or threonine residues, in addition to tyrosine, were phosphorylated on KCl stimulation. In vitro kinase assay of immunoprecipitates with anti-p130(cas) antibody suggested that some protein-tyrosine kinases were associated with p130(cas). Using the substrate region of p130(cas) as the substrate, we found that Fyn and Src were activated on stimulation with KCl. These results indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(cas) may be involved in Ca2+-dependent events in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells.

D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D015398	Signal Transduction	The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
