The 66-kilodalton isoform of the growth factor adapter Shc (p66Shc)translates oxidative damage into cell death by acting as reactiveoxygen species (ROS) producer within mitochondria. However,the signaling link between cellular stress and mitochondrialproapoptotic activity of p66Shc was not known. We demonstratethat protein kinase C ß, activated by oxidative conditionsin the cell, induces phosphorylation of p66Shc and triggersmitochondrial accumulation of the protein after it is recognizedby the prolyl isomerase Pin1. Once imported, p66Shc causes alterationsof mitochondrial Ca2+ responses and three-dimensional structure,thus inducing apoptosis. These data identify a signaling routethat activates an apoptotic inducer shortening the life spanand could be a potential target of pharmacological approachesto inhibit aging.
