Renaturation kinase assay was used to detect protein kinases activated by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in cultured rat 3Y1 fibroblasts. LPA activated several Ser/Thr protein kinases with apparent molecular weights of 145K, 85K, 64–65K (a doublet), and 60K (each named p 145, p 85, p 64165 and p 60, respectively) in addition to p 43 mitogen activated protein (MAP)‐kinase. Experiments using pertussis toxin and botulinum C3 exoenzyme showed that p 145, p 85, and p 64165 kinases were activated by a pertussis toxin‐insensitive rho p 21‐dependent pathway and that the activation of MAP‐kinase was mediated by both the pertussis toxin‐sensitive rho p 21‐independent and the pertussis toxin‐insensitive rho p 21‐dependent pathways.
