Binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its cell surface receptor induces production of H

O

, which serves as an intracellular messenger. We have shown that exogenous H

O

reversibly inactivates the phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PtdIns(4)P] phosphatase Sac1 (
suppressor of actin 1
) at the Golgi complex of mammalian cells by oxidizing its catalytic cysteine residue and thereby increases both the amount of Golgi PtdIns(4)P and the rate of protein secretion. Here we investigated the effects of EGF on Sac1 oxidation and PtdIns(4)P abundance at the Golgi in A431 cells. EGF induced a transient increase in Golgi PtdIns(4)P as well as a transient oxidation of Sac1 in a manner dependent on elevation of the intracellular Ca

concentration and on H

. Oxidation of Sac1 occurred at the Golgi, as revealed with the use of the Golgi-confined Sac1-K2A mutant. Knockdown of Duox enzymes implicated these Ca

family as the major source of H

for Sac1 oxidation. Expression of a Golgi-targeted H

probe revealed transient EGF-induced H

production at this organelle. Our findings have thus uncovered a previously unrecognized EGF signaling pathway that links intracellular Ca

mobilization to events at the Golgi including Duox activation, H

production, Sac1 oxidation, and PtdIns(4)P accumulation.
