Abstract
In the hemopoietic compartment, IL-3, GM-CSF, and IL-5 receptors are major transducers of survival signals; however, the receptor-proximal events that determine this vital function have not been defined. We have found that IL-3 stimulation induces phosphorylation of Ser-585 of β(c). This promotes the association of phospho-Ser-585 of β(c) with 14-3-3 and the p85 sub-unit of PI 3-K. Mutation of Ser-585 specifically impairs the PI 3-K signaling pathway and reduces cell survival in response to IL-3. These results define a distinct IL-3 receptor-mediated survival pathway regulated by site-specific receptor serine phosphorylation and 14-3-3 binding and suggest that this novel mode of signaling may be utilized by disparate transmembrane receptors that have as a common theme the transduction of survival signals.
