Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells contain specific plasma membrane receptors for both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF). Whereas EGF addition to PC12 cells causes a persistent enhancement of proliferation. NGF addition induces a transient stimulation of growth, followed by growth arrest and neuronal differentiation. Despite these differences in biological response, EGF and NGF share a number of early receptor-mediated responses, which are likely te be related to their effect on cell proliferation. In this paper we show that EGF, but not NGF, is able to stimulate the phosphorylation of membrane proteins. In addition, EGF was able to stimulate phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide (RR-SRC) by PC12 membranes in a concentration-dependent manner. Kinetic analysis of the phosphorylation reaction indicated that EGF increased the Vmax from 13 to 70 pmoles/min/mg protein, while no change was observed in Km. Furthermore, EGF was able to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of angiotensin I and II, to the same extent as RR-SRC. In contrast no effects of NGF on peptide phosphorylation by PC12 membranes were observed. Cross-linking experiments demonstrated the presence of receptors for both NGF and EGF in PC12 membranes. These different effects of NGF and EGF on activation of membrane-associated protein-kinase activity demonstrate that NGF might be able to stimulate growth transiently without stimulating protein kinase activity.
