title: Pasteurella multocida toxin-induced activation of RhoA is mediated via two families of G{alpha} proteins, G{alpha}q and G{alpha}12/13.
abstract: Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) is a potent mitogen, which is known to activate phospholipase Cbeta by stimulating the alpha-subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein G(q). PMT also activates RhoA and RhoA-dependent pathways. Using YM-254890, a specific inhibitor of G(q/11), we studied whether activation of RhoA involves G proteins other than G(q/11). YM-254890 inhibited PMT or muscarinic M3-receptor-mediated stimulation of phospholipase Cbeta at similar concentrations in HEK293m3 cells. In these cells, PMT-induced RhoA activation and enhancement of RhoA-dependent luciferase activity were partially inhibited by YM-254890. In Galpha(q/11)-deficient fibroblasts, PMT induced activation of RhoA, increase in RhoA-dependent luciferase activity, and increase in ERK phosphorylation. None of these effects were influenced by YM-254890. However, RhoA activation by PMT was inhibited by RGS2, RGS16, lscRGS, and dominant negative G(13)(GA), indicating involvement of Galpha(12/13) in the PMT effect on RhoA. In Galpha(12/13) gene-deficient cells, PMT-induced stimulation of RhoA, luciferase activity, and ERK phosphorylation were blocked by YM-254890, indicating the involvement of G(q). Infection with a virus harboring the gene of Galpha(13) reconstituted the increase in RhoA-dependent luciferase activity by PMT even in the presence of YM-254890. The data show that YM-254890 is able to block PMT activation of Galpha(q) and indicate that, in addition to Galpha(q), the Galpha(12/13) G proteins are targets of PMT.
