The vast complexity of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced downstream signaling pathways is well known, but the precise roles of critical players still elude us due to our lack of specific and temporal control over their activities. Accordingly, although Src family members are some of the better characterized effectors of PDGF signaling, considerable controversy still surrounds their precise functions. To address these questions and limitations, we applied a chemical–genetic approach to study the role of c-Src at the cellular level, in defined signaling cascades; we also uncovered novel phosphorylation targets and defined its influence on transcriptional events. The spectacular control of c-Src on actin reorganization and chemotaxis was delineated by global substrate labeling and transcriptional analysis, revealing multiple cytoskeletal proteins and chemotaxis promoting genes to be under c-Src control. Additionally, this tool revealed the contrasting roles of c-Src in controlling DNA synthesis, where it transmits conflicting inputs via the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase and Ras pathways. Finally, this study reveals a mechanism by which Src family kinases may control PDGF-mediated responses both at transcriptional and translational levels.
