We report that expressing interfering mutants of the small Ras-related GTPase Rac, using either recombinant vaccinia virus or stable DNA transfection, eliminates epidermal growth factor-induced Ca2+ signaling, without affecting Ca2+ mobilization or influx from G protein-coupled receptors. Platelet-derived growth factor-dependent Ca2+ influx, however, is only partly sensitive to dominant negative Rac proteins. Thus, whereas epidermal growth factor-induced Ca2+ influx is completely mediated by Rac proteins, platelet-derived growth factor-induced Ca2+ influx involves Rac-dependent and -independent signaling pathways.
