The protein tyrosine kinase Pyk2 acts as an upstream regulator of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades in response to numerous extracellular signals. The precise molecular mechanisms by which Pyk2 activates distinct MAP kinase pathways are not yet fully understood. In this report, we provide evidence that the protein tyrosine kinase Src and adaptor proteins Grb2, Crk, and p130Cas act as downstream mediators of Pyk2 leading to the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK). Pyk2-induced activation of Src is necessary for phosphorylation of Shc and p130Cas and their association with Grb2 and Crk, respectively, and for the activation of ERK and JNK cascades. Expression of a Grb2 mutant with a deletion of the amino-terminal Src homology 3 domain or the carboxyl-terminal tail of Sos strongly reduced Pyk2-induced ERK activation, with no apparent effect on JNK activity. Grb2 with a deleted carboxyl-terminal Src homology 3 domain partially blocked Pyk2-induced ERK and JNK pathways, whereas expression of dominant interfering mutants of p130Cas or Crk specifically inhibited JNK but not ERK activation by Pyk2. Taken together, our data reveal specific pathways that couple Pyk2 with MAP kinases: the Grb2/Sos complex connects Pyk2 to the activation of ERK, whereas adaptor proteins p130Cas and Crk link Pyk2 with the JNK pathway.
