PI3K is not critical for acute stimulation of cortical actin accumulation but
participates in remodeling of actin to from a polarized leading edge
Is Ras the PI3K upstream activator in response to cAMP?
Sasaki et al.,(Firtel) 2004 JCB 167, 505
Dictyostelium (like neutrophils) has three Ras genes (RasG, RasB and RasD) that
are close homologs of mammalian K-Ras and H-Ras. Activated Ras (GTP
loaded) binds to both mammalian and Dictyostelium PI3K.

Note that he N-terminal domain of Dictyostelium PI3K1 (which is recruited to the
membrane within 5 sec after cAMP addition) is not conserved in human PI3K.
Deletion of RasG has a chemotactic defect similar to loss of PI3K1 and PI3K2.
AKT activation in response to cAMP is reduced in RasG deleted cells.
Sasaki et al.,(Firtel) 2004 JCB 167, 505
RasG is uniformly distributed on the plasma
membrane whether or not cells are stimulated.
Within 5 seconds of stimulation with cAMP,
RasG is activated as judged by its ability to
bind to the Ras-binding domain (RBD) of
Raf.
Uniform localization of GFP-Ras
during chemotaxis
The initial activation of Ras by cAMP does not require
PI3K activity, although sustained activation of Ras does
appear to be attenuated in the presence of PI3K inhibitors.
Activation of Ras at the membrane occurs in parallel to PI3K
recruitment and prior to PI3,4,5P3 production (judged by PH
domain recruitment).
GFP-RBD
localization
Five seconds after cAMP, Ras is
activated at the plasma membrane
Time after cAMP (sec)
Ras is activated at the leading edge of the migrating cell
whether or not PI3K is active, but activation of PI3K
enhances Ras activation at this location

Inhibition of actin polymerization with latrunculin dramatically reduces the
recruitment of the N-terminal domain of PI3K1 to the membrane in response
to cAMP, but it does not have a major effect on Ras activation and only
partially inhibits activation of AKT
AKT activation
Ras activation
Model:
1. Ras is activated downstream of the cAMP receptor rapidly (less than 5 seconds)
and independent of cortical actin polymerization and PI3K activity (e.g. Ras is the
BSPI3K in the LEGI model).
2. Ras recruits and activates a small fraction of PI3K at the plasma membrane,
resulting in AKT activation and other responses (including a secondary Rac
activation-see below).
3. In parallel to Ras activation, actin polymerization also is initiated at the plasma
membrane. This initial actin polymerization (at 5 seconds) is independent of
PI3K and probably mediated by a GDP/GTP exchange factor for Rac that is
directly regulated by a heterotrimeric G protein.
4. Cortical actin causes further recruitment of PI3K to the plasma membrane via the
N-terminal domain of PI3K, enhancing the Ras-dependent activation of PI3K.
5. Products of PI3K result in further stimulation of Ras activation (by an unknown
mechanism), which further activates PI3K (positive feedback loop).
6. A combination of the positive feedback loop and the LEGI model ultimately
results in global inhibition and local amplification of PI3K.
7. The local PI3,4,5P3 production activates a distinct GDP/GTP exchange factor for
Rac that produces the second, polarized cortical actin polymerization. This
results in a second positive feedback loop by actin-dependent recruitment of
PI3K.
