title: Okadaic acid stimulates the activity of the nerve growth factor-sensitive S6 kinase of PC12 cells.
abstract: PC12 pheochromocytoma cells contain at least two different and separable kinases that phosphorylate the S6 protein of the ribosomes. The activity of one of these S6 kinases is increased by treatment of the cells with nerve growth factor and of the other by treatment with epidermal growth factor. Okadaic acid increases the activity of the nerve growth factor-sensitive S6 kinase. The data suggest that the nerve growth factor-sensitive S6 kinase is activated by phosphorylation on serine or threonine residues and is inactivated by either phosphatase 1 or phosphatase 2A, probably the latter.
