We have characterized activation of the MAP kinase cascade in an inducible system in response to the temperature-sensitive (ts) expression of the v-mos oncogene. Transformation of immortalized rat embryo fibroblasts by a ts isolate of Moloney murine sarcoma virus (Mo-MuSVts110) constitutively activates MAP kinases (ERK-1 and ERK-2) and MAP kinase kinases (MKK-1 and MKK-2) only at the permissive temperature when v-mos kinase is present and active. Following a shift of the ts-transformed, serum-starved cells from the nonpermissive to permissive temperature, MAP kinases and both MKK-1 and MKK-2 are activated within 1-2 h, concurrent with the reappearance of active mos kinase. Raf-1 kinase activity increases more slowly in response to the reappearance of v-mos, and the mobility shift indicative of hyperphosphorylation was only detected 18 h after the temperature transition. Our data show that MAP kinase cascade activation is an early event following the reappearance of v-mos expression and v-mos kinase activity upon temperature shift, while the first manifestation of morphological transformation appears 24 h after the shift to permissive temperature. These results support the hypothesis that mos acts through the MKK to induce cell transformation.
