Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) binds to phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3)) through the Btk pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, an interaction thought to be required for Btk membrane translocation during B cell receptor signaling. Here, we report that interaction of PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3) with the PH domain of Btk directly induces Btk enzymatic activation in an in vitro kinase assay. A point mutation that reduces interaction of PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3) with the Btk PH domain blocks in vitro PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3)-dependent Btk activation, whereas the PH domain deletion enhances Btk basal activity but eliminates the PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3)-dependent stimulation. Btk kinase activity and the Btk activation loop phosphorylation site are both required for the PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3)-mediated stimulation of Btk kinase activity. Together, these results suggest that the Btk PH domain is positioned such that it normally suppresses both Btk kinase activity and access to substrates; when interacting with PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3), this suppression is relieved, producing apparent Btk activation. In addition, using Src family kinase inhibitors and Btk catalytically inactive mutants, we demonstrate that in vivo, the activation of Btk is due to both Lyn phosphorylation and PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3)-mediated direct activation. Thus, the Btk-PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3) interaction serves to translocate Btk to the membrane and directly regulate its signaling function.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) phosphorylate the 3'-OH position of the inositol ring of inositol phospholipids, producing three lipid products: PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(3,4)P(2) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). These lipids bind to the pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of proteins and control the activity and subcellular localisation of a diverse array of signal transduction molecules. Three major classes of signalling molecule are regulated by binding of D-3 phosphoinositides to PH domains: guanine-nucleotide-exchange proteins for Rho family GTPases, the TEC family tyrosine kinases such as BTK and ITK in B and T lymphocytes, respectively, and the AGC superfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. These molecules are activated by a variety of extracellular stimuli and have been implicated in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, cell growth, cell motility, cell adhesion and cell survival.

STAT5A is a molecular regulator of proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in lymphohematopoietic cells. Here we show that STAT5A can serve as a functional substrate of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). Purified recombinant BTK was capable of directly binding purified recombinant STAT5A with high affinity (K(d) = 44 nm), as determined by surface plasmon resonance using a BIAcore biosensor system. BTK was also capable of tyrosine-phosphorylating ectopically expressed recombinant STAT5A on Tyr(694) both in vitro and in vivo in a Janus kinase 3-independent fashion. BTK phosphorylated the Y665F, Y668F, and Y682F,Y683F mutants but not the Y694F mutant of STAT5A. STAT5A mutations in the Src homology 2 (SH2) and SH3 domains did not alter the BTK-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation. Recombinant BTK proteins with mutant pleckstrin homology, SH2, or SH3 domains were capable of phosphorylating STAT5A, whereas recombinant BTK proteins with SH1/kinase domain mutations were not. In pull-down experiments, only full-length BTK and its SH1/kinase domain (but not the pleckstrin homology, SH2, or SH3 domains) were capable of binding STAT5A. Ectopically expressed BTK kinase domain was capable of tyrosine-phosphorylating STAT5A both in vitro and in vivo. BTK-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of ectopically expressed wild type (but not Tyr(694) mutant) STAT5A enhanced its DNA binding activity. In BTK-competent chicken B cells, anti-IgM-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT5 protein was prevented by pretreatment with the BTK inhibitor LFM-A13 but not by pretreatment with the JAK3 inhibitor HI-P131. B cell antigen receptor ligation resulted in enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT5 in BTK-deficient chicken B cells reconstituted with wild type human BTK but not in BTK-deficient chicken B cells reconstituted with kinase-inactive mutant BTK. Similarly, anti-IgM stimulation resulted in enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT5A in BTK-competent B cells from wild type mice but not in BTK-deficient B cells from XID mice. In contrast to B cells from XID mice, B cells from JAK3 knockout mice showed a normal STAT5A phosphorylation response to anti-IgM stimulation. These findings provide unprecedented experimental evidence that BTK plays a nonredundant and pivotal role in B cell antigen receptor-mediated STAT5A activation in B cells.

DAPP-1 (dual-adaptor for phosphotyrosine and 3-phosphoinositides-1) is a broadly distributed pleckstrin homology (PH) and Src homology 2 domain containing protein that can bind phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) and can be phosphorylated on tyrosine 139 and internalised in response to activation of type I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K). Tyrosine phosphorylation of DAPP-1 appears important for appropriate intracellular targeting and creates a potential binding site for Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins. In endothelial cells overexpressing wild-type platelet-derived growth factor beta (PDGFbeta) receptors, which express Bmx and Src as their major Btk (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) family and Src family tyrosine kinases, respectively, PDGF can stimulate PI3K-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of DAPP-1. Transient overexpression of Src most effectively, compared with Bmx and Syk, augments basal and PDGF-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of DAPP-1, whereas overexpression of dominant-negative Src, but not dominant-negative Bmx, inhibits PDGF-stimulated phosphorylation of DAPP-1. Cells expressing mutant PDGFbeta (Y579F/Y581F) receptors (which fail to bind and activate Src-type kinases) fail to tyrosine phosphorylate DAPP-1 in response to PDGF. We show that in DT40 chicken B cell lines, antibody stimulation leads to PI3K-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of DAPP-1 that is lost in Lyn- or Syk-deficient cell lines but not Btk-deficient cell lines. PI3K-dependent activation of PKB is only lost in Syk-deficient lines. Finally, in vitro we find lipid-modified Src to be the most effective DAPP-1 tyrosine kinase (versus Syk, Lyn, Btk, and Bmx); phosphorylation of DAPP-1 but not Src autophosphorylation is stimulated approximately 10-fold by PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) (IC(50) = 150 nm) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate but not by their nonbiological diastereoisomers and depends on PH domain mediated binding of DAPP-1 to PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)-containing membranes. We conclude that Src family kinases are responsible for tyrosine phosphorylation of DAPP-1 in vivo and that PI3K regulation is at the level of PH domain-mediated translocation of DAPP-1 to PI3K products in the membrane.

Macropinocytosis plays an important role in the internalization of antigens by dendritic cells and is the route of entry for many bacterial pathogens; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that regulate the formation or maturation of macropinosomes. Like dendritic cells, Dictyostelium amoebae are active in macropinocytosis, and various proteins have been identified that contribute to this process. As described here, microscopic analysis of null mutants have revealed that the class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases, PIK1 and PIK2, and the downstream effector protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) are important in regulating completion of macropinocytosis. Although actin-rich membrane protrusions form in these cell lines, they recede without forming macropinosomes. Imaging of cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to the pleckstrin homology domain (PH) of PKB (GFP-PHPKB) indicates that D3 phosphoinositides are enriched in the forming macropinocytic cup and remain associated with newly formed macropinosomes for <1 minute. A fusion protein, consisting of GFP fused to an F-actin binding domain, overlaps with GFP-PHPKB in the timing of association with forming macropinosomes. Although macropinocytosis is reduced in cells expressing dominant negative Rab7, microscopic imaging studies reveal that GFP-Rab7 associates only with formed macropinosomes at approximately the time that F-actin and D3 phosphoinositide levels decrease. These results support a model in which F-actin modulating proteins and vesicle trafficking proteins coordinately regulate the formation and maturation of macropinosomes.

Defects in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) are responsible for X chromosome-linked agammaglobulinemia in patients. Mutations in each of the structural domains of Btk have been detected in patients, yet a mechanistic explanation for most of these mutant phenotypes is lacking. To understand the possible role of the unique pleckstrin homology and Tec homology (PHTH) module of Btk, we have compared the enzymatic properties of full-length Btk and a Btk mutant lacking the PHTH module (BtkDeltaPHTH). Here we show that Btk and BtkDeltaPHTH have similar basal catalytic activity but very different abilities to recognize protein substrates. Furthermore, the catalytic domain of Btk is inactive, in contrast to the catalytic domain of the prototypical Src tyrosine kinase that retains full catalytic ability. These data suggest that the PHTH module plays an important role in protein substrate recognition, that Btk and Src likely have different interdomain organizations and regulations, and that alterations in substrate recognition might play a role in X chromosome-linked agammaglobulinemia.

G proteins are critical cellular signal transducers for a variety of cell surface receptors. Both alpha and betagamma subunits of G proteins are able to transduce receptor signals. Several direct effect molecules for Gbetagamma subunits have been reported; yet the biochemical mechanism by which Gbetagamma executes its modulatory role is not well understood. We have shown that Gbetagamma could directly increase the kinase activity of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) whose defects are responsible for X chromosome-linked agammaglobulinemia in patients. The well characterized interaction of Gbetagamma with the PH (pleckstrin homology)/TH (Tec-homology) module of Btk was proposed to be the underlying activation mechanism. Here we show that Gbetagamma also interacts with the catalytic domain of Btk leading to increased kinase activity. Furthermore, we showed that the PH/TH module is required for Gbetagamma-induced membrane translocation of Btk. The membrane anchorage is also dependent on the interaction of Btk with phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate, the product of phosphoinositide 3-kinase. These data support a dual role for Gbetagamma in the activation of Btk signaling function, namely membrane translocation and direct regulation of Btk catalytic activity.

The Tec kinases have been implicated as important components of signalling pathways downstream of lymphocyte antigen receptors. Activation of these kinases requires two steps: (i) phosphorylation by Src family kinases and (ii) plasma membrane localization, which is mediated by interaction between the pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of Tec kinases and the products of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI-3K). Itk and Rlk/Txk are Tec kinases expressed in T-lymphocytes. Despite similarity to other Tec kinases, Rlk/Txk lacks a PH domain and instead possesses a palmitoylated cysteine-string motif. We have found that both Rlk/Txk and Itk are phosphorylated in response to T-cell receptor stimulation and can be activated by phosphorylation by Src family kinases. However, consistent with its lack of PH domain, Rlk/Txk is phosphorylated independent of PI-3K activity. Furthermore, we demonstrated that like Itk, Rlk/Txk is associated with lipid RAFTs (detergent-insoluble, cholesterol-rich regions of the membrane), but unlike Itk, Rlk/Txk's RAFT association is independent of PI-3K activity. Despite these differences, Rlk/Txk partially compensates for loss of Itk in gene-targeted animals, suggesting overlapping functions for these kinases.

Grb7 is the prototype of a family of adaptor molecules that also include Grb10 and Grb14 that share a conserved molecular architecture including Src homology 2 (SH2) and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains. Grb7 has been implicated as a downstream mediator of integrin-FAK signal pathways in the regulation of cell migration, although the molecular mechanisms are still not well understood. In this paper, we investigated the potential role and mechanisms of PH domain in Grb7 in the regulation of cell migration. We found that the PH domain mediated Grb7 binding to phospholipids both in vitro and in intact cells. Furthermore, both Grb7 and its PH domain preferentially interacted with phosphatidylinositol phosphates showing strongest affinity to the D3- and D5-phosphoinositides. The PH domain interaction with phosphoinositides was shown to play a role in the stimulation of cell migration by Grb7. It was also shown to be necessary for Grb7 phosphorylation by FAK, although it was not required for Grb7 interaction with FAK or recruitment to the focal contacts. Last, we found that PI 3-kinase activity played a role in both Grb7 association with phosphoinositides and its stimulation of cell migration. In addition, both FAK binding to PI 3-kinase via its autophosphorylated Tyr(397) and integrin-mediated cell adhesion increased Grb7 association with phosphoinositides. Together, these results identified the Grb7 PH domain interaction with phosphoinositides and suggested a potential mechanism by which several signaling molecules including Grb7, FAK, and PI 3-kinase and their interactions cooperate to mediate signal transduction pathways in integrin-mediated cell migration.

In the nervous system, receptor regulated phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) participate in fundamental cellular activities that underlie development. Activated by trophic factors, growth factors, neuregulins, cytokines, or neurotransmitters, PI 3-kinases have been implicated in neuronal and glial survival and differentiation. PI 3-kinases produce inositol lipid second messengers that bind to pleckstrin homology (PH) domains in diverse groups of signal transduction proteins, and control their enzymatic activities, subcellular membrane localization, or both. Downstream targets of the inositol lipid messengers include protein kinases and regulators of small GTPases. The kinase Akt/PKB functions as a key component of the PI 3-kinase dependent survival pathway through its phosphorylation and regulation of apoptotic proteins and transcription factors. Furthermore, since members of the Rho GTPase and Arf GTPase families have been implicated in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, vesicular trafficking, and transcription, the downstream targets of PI 3-kinase that control these GTPases are excellent candidates to mediate aspects of PI 3-kinase dependent neuronal and glial differentiation.
