The Ras signaling pathway plays a critical role in B lymphocyte development and activation, but its activation mechanism has not been well understood. At least one mode of Ras regulation in B cells involves a Ras-guanyl nucleotide exchange factor, RasGRP3. We demonstrate here that RasGRP3 undergoes phosphorylation at Thr-133 upon B cell receptor cross-linking, thereby resulting in its activation. Deletion of phospholipase C-gamma2 or pharmacological interference with conventional PKCs resulted in marked reduction in both Thr-133 phosphorylation and Ras activation. Moreover, mutation of Thr-133 in RasGRP3 alone severely impaired its ability to activate Ras in B cell receptor signaling. Hence, our data suggest that PKC, after being activated by diacylglycerol, phosphorylates RasGRP3, thereby contributing to its full activation.
