We have previously demonstrated that the steroid hormone 1 alpha,25(OH)(2)-vitamin D(3)[1 alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)] stimulates the production of inositol trisphosphate (InsP(3)), the breakdown product of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PtdInsP(2)) by phospholipase C (PtdIns-PLC), and activates the cytosolic tyrosine kinase c-Src in skeletal muscle cells. In the present study we examined whether 1 alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) induces the phosphorylation and membrane translocation of PLC gamma and the mechanism involved in this isozyme activation. We found that the steroid hormone triggers a significant phosphorylation on tyrosine residues of PLC gamma and induces a rapid increase in membrane-associated PLC gamma immunoreactivity with a time course that correlates with that of phosphorylation in muscle cells. Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocked the phosphorylation of PLC gamma. Inhibition of 1 alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced c-Src activity by its specific inhibitor PP1 or muscle cell transfection with an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide directed against c-Src mRNA, prevented hormone stimulation of PLC gamma tyrosine phosphorylation. The isozyme phosphorylation is also blocked by both wortmannin and LY294002, two structurally different inhibitors of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PtdIns3K), the enzyme that produces PtdInsP(3) known to activate PLC gamma isozymes specifically by interacting with their SH2 and pleckstrin homology domains. The hormone also increases the physical association of c-Src and PtdIns3K with PLC gamma and induces a c-Src-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the p85 regulatory subunit of PtdIns3K. The time course of hormone-dependent PLC gamma phosphorylation closely correlates with the time course of its redistribution to the membrane, suggesting that phosphorylation and redistribution to the membrane of PLC gamma are two interdependent events. 1 alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)-induced membrane translocation of PLC gamma was prevented to a great extent by c-Src and PtdIns3K inhibitors, PP1 and LY294002. Taken together, the present data indicates that the cytosolic tyrosine kinase c-Src and PtdIns 3-kinase play indispensable roles in 1 alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) signal transduction cascades leading to PLC gamma activation.

G protein-coupled receptors can potentially activate phospholipase D (PLD) by a number of routes. We show here that the native M3 muscarinic receptor in 1321N1 cells and an epitope-tagged M3 receptor expressed in COS7 cells substantially utilize an ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)-dependent route of PLD activation. This pathway is activated at the plasma membrane but appears to be largely independent of G, phospholipase C, Ca2+ q/11, protein kinase C, tyrosine kinases, and phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase. We report instead that it involves physical association of ARF with the M3 receptor as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation and by in vitro interaction with a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein of the receptor's third intracellular loop domain. Experiments with mutant constructs of ARF1/6 and PLD1/2 indicate that the M3 receptor displays a major ARF1-dependent route of PLD1 activation with an additional ARF6-dependent pathway to PLD1 or PLD2. Examples of other G protein-coupled receptors assessed in comparison display alternative pathways of protein kinase C- or ARF6-dependent activation of PLD2.
