Thrombin activates phospholipase C in human platelets, but the specific isoenzymes activated and the signal pathway used are unknown. Using specific antibodies, we found that phospholipase C-gamma 1 and the p21ras GTPase-activating protein, rasGAP, are present in human platelets. Furthermore, phospholipase C-gamma 1 was detectable, based on enzyme activity and Western blot analysis, in immunoprecipitates of rasGAP, suggesting that these two proteins form tight complexes. The pool of phospholipase C-gamma 1 associated with rasGAP was phosphorylated but not through tyrosine phosphorylation. Although thrombin stimulation had no effect on the level of phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 and only slightly increased the tyrosine phosphorylation of rasGAP, the agonist induced the association of rasGAP with rap1B, as indicated by the appearance of rap1B on a Western blot of rasGAP immunoprecipitates. Our results suggest the formation of a signaling complex involving rasGAP, phospholipase C-gamma 1, and rap1B that might be important in the cascade leading to platelet activation.

The high affinity receptor for immunoglobulin (Ig) E on mast cells, along with the antigen receptors on T and B cells and Fc receptors for IgG, belongs to a class of receptors which lack intrinsic kinase activity, but activate non-receptor tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases. Receptor engagement triggers a chain of signaling events leading from protein phosphorylation to activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, an increase in intracellular calcium levels, and ultimately the activation of more specialized functions. IgE receptor disengagement leads to reversal of phosphorylation by undefined phosphatases and to inhibition of activation pathways. Here we show that phenylarsine oxide, a chemical which reacts with thiol groups and has been reported to inhibit tyrosine phosphatases, uncouples the IgE receptor-mediated phosphorylation signal from activation of phosphatidyl inositol metabolism, the increase in intracellular calcium levels, and serotonin release. Phenylarsine oxide inhibits neither the kinases (tyrosine and serine/threonine) phosphorylating the receptor and various cellular substrates nor, unexpectedly, the phosphatases responsible for the dephosphorylation following receptor disengagement. By contrast, it abolishes the receptor-mediated phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1, but not phospholipase C activity in vitro. Therefore the phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C likely requires a phenylarsine oxide-sensitive element. Receptor aggregation thus activates at least two distinct phosphorylation pathways: a phenylarsine oxide-insensitive pathway leading to phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the receptor and of various substrates and a sensitive pathway leading to phospholipase C-gamma 1 phosphorylation.

Cross-linking of the B cell AgR results in activation of mature B cells and tolerization of immature B cells. The initial signaling events stimulated by membrane immunoglobulin (mIg) cross-linking are tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of proteins. Among the targets of mIg-induced tyrosine phosphorylation are the tyrosine kinases encoded by the lyn, blk, fyn, and syk genes, the mIg-associated proteins MB-1 and Ig-beta, phospholipase C-gamma 1 and -gamma 2, as well as many unidentified proteins. In this report we show that mIg cross-linking also regulates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase), an enzyme that phosphorylates inositol phospholipids and plays a key role in mediating the effects of tyrosine kinases on growth control in fibroblasts. Cross-linking mIg on B lymphocytes greatly increased the amount of PtdIns 3-kinase activity which could be immunoprecipitated with anti-phosphotyrosine (anti-tyr(P) antibodies. This response was observed after mIg cross-linking in mIgM- and mIgG-bearing B cell lines and after cross-linking either mIgM or mIgD in murine splenic B cells. Thus, regulation of PtdIns 3-kinase is a common feature of signaling by several different isotypes of mIg. This response was rapid and peaked 2 to 3 min after the addition of anti-Ig antibodies. The anti-Ig-stimulated increase in PtdIns 3-kinase activity associated with anti-Tyr(P) immunoprecipitates could reflect increased tyrosine phosphorylation of PtdIns 3-kinase, increased activity of the enzyme, or both. In favor of the first possibility, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A blocked the increase in ant-Tyr(P)-immunoprecipitated PtdIns 3-kinase activity as well as the anti-Ig-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. Moreover, this response was not secondary to phospholipase C activation but rather seemed to be a direct consequence of mIg-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. Activation of the phosphoinositide pathway by a transfected M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor expressed in WEHI-231 B lymphoma cells did not increase the amount of PtdIns 3-kinase activity which could be precipitated with anti-Tyr(P) antibodies. Similarly, inhibition of the phosphoinositide pathway did not abrogate the ability of mIg cross-linking to stimulate this response. Thus, mIg-induced tyrosine phosphorylation regulates PtdIns 3-kinase, an important mediator of growth control in fibroblasts and potentially an important regulatory component in B cells as well.

IL-7 is a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of lymphocyte precursor growth. In addition, it has a comitogenic effect on mature T cells but not on mature B cells. The exact mechanism whereby IL-7R mediates these cell growth properties remains unknown. Because many growth factor receptor systems on various cell types transduce signals by activating a tyrosine kinase, we have studied here the effect of IL-7R ligation on protein tyrosine phosphorylation. We found that human rIL-7 consistently induced tyrosine phosphorylation of five major proteins, of 175, 155, 135, 110, and 85 kDa, and five minor proteins. The effect of human rIL-7 on tyrosine phosphorylation of these substrates was concentration and time dependent. One of the known substrates that is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues after binding of growth factors to their receptors is the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. Several phospholipase C isozymes have been recently recognized; one isozyme, phospholipase C-gamma 1, was demonstrated to be phosphorylated rapidly after ligand binding to the platelet-derived growth factor receptor and the T cell Ag receptor. We show here that, in contrast to Ag receptor ligation, activation of IL-7R does not induce tyrosine phosphorylation on phospholipase C-gamma 1. Consistent with these results, human rIL-7 failed to increase phosphatidylinositol turnover and did not induce a rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ in the thymocytes, mature T cells, or pre-pre-B cells. The results indicate that the IL-7R mediates the activation of the tyrosine phosphorylation pathway but does not induce the phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C pathway.

It has been proposed that during T cell receptor antigen recognition, CD4- or CD8-p56lck molecules interact with the T cell antigen receptor-CD3 complex (TCR-CD3) to phosphorylate various undefined substrates, which then initiate signal transduction through the TCR-CD3 complex. The ability of CD4 to modulate the TCR-CD3-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+, [Ca2+]i, and substrate tyrosine phosphorylation was studied in mutants of the human leukemic T cell line HPB-ALL characterized by their low expression of the TCR-CD3 complex on the cell surface. In TCR-CD3low cells, in which CD3-zeta was found to be associated with the TCR-CD3 complex, cross-linking CD3 with CD4 resulted in a profile of calcium mobilization, CD3-zeta, and phospholipase C-gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation similar to that observed in HPB-ALL cells, although the magnitude of generalized substrate tyrosine phosphorylation appeared to be smaller, as compared with wild-type cells. Responses were weak or absent when CD3 was cross-linked alone. In contrast, in a mutant in which association of CD3-zeta 2 with the TCR-CD3 was defective, cross-linking of CD3 with CD4 had a weaker effect on any of the activation parameters tested. These experiments showed that the presence of CD3-zeta 2 in the TCR-CD3 complex is of critical importance for the ability of CD4 to enhance early transducing signals inside the cell. The data also suggest that CD4-associated protein tyrosine kinase p56lck could up-regulate defective CD3-mediated induction of phospholipase C activity by increasing tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1.

Stimulation of the signal transduction cascade in T cells through the T-cell receptor (CD3) coincides with activation of the phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C (PI-PLC) pathway. activation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC gamma 1) occurs through tyrosine phosphorylation in T cells following surface ligation of CD3 receptors with CD3-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Here we show that cross-linking of CD4 molecules with CD3 augments the tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1, while co-ligation of CD3 with CD45 (a receptor tyrosine phosphatase) results in reduced PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Mobilization of intracellular calcium correlated with the extent of PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation, indicating that PLC gamma 1 enzymatic activity in T cells may be regulated by its phosphorylation state. The time-course of PLC gamma 1 tyrosine phosphorylation in cells stimulated by soluble anti-CD3 was transient and closely paralleled that of calcium mobilization, while the kinetics in cells stimulated by immobilized anti-CD3 were prolonged. The PI-PLC pathway in T cells was not stimulated by tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 2, a homologue of PLC gamma 1, demonstrating the strict regulation of PLC gamma isoform usage in CD3-stimulated T cells. A 35,000/36,000 MW tyrosine phosphorylated protein in T cells formed stable complexes with PLC gamma 1, and its tyrosine phosphorylation was co-regulated with that of PLC gamma 1 by CD4 and CD45 receptors. Enzymatic activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1 occurs during growth factor stimulation of fibroblasts, where PLC gamma 1 exists in multi-component complexes. The observation that PLC gamma 1 exists in complexes with unique tyrosine phosphorylated proteins in T cells suggests that haematopoietic lineage-specific proteins associated with PLC gamma 1 may play roles in cellular signalling.

Phospholipase C is a family of cellular proteins believed to play a significant role in the intracellular signaling mechanisms utilized by diverse hormones. One class of hormones, polypeptide growth factors, elicits its influence on cellular function through stimulation of cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase activity. Certain growth factors appear to stimulate cellular phospholipase C activity by selective, receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of the phospholipase C-gamma 1 isozyme. While the role of phospholipase C activity in growth factor regulation of cell proliferation remains to be clarified, the selective growth factor-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 is an interesting example of enzyme-substrate interaction at the crossroads of two important intracellular signaling pathways.

Recent demonstrations of growth factor-stimulated increases in cellular phosphoinositide metabolism suggest that regulatory enzymes of this important signaling pathway may be substrates for growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. Studies employing phosphotyrosine antibodies, specific phospholipase C antibodies, and purified phospholipase C proteins support the conclusion that the 145-kD phospholipase C-gamma 1 isoenzyme is rapidly and selectively phosphorylated by the activated epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor receptors. The selective interaction of these receptors with phospholipase C-gamma 1 suggests a novel, direct mechanism for agonist stimulation of phosphoinositide metabolism.

Collagen is an important primary stimulus of platelets during the process of hemostasis. As with many other platelet stimuli, collagen signal transduction involves the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids; however, the mechanisms which underlies this event is not well understood. Neither the collagen receptor nor the isoform of phospholipase C that is activated have been identified. We report that collagen-activation of platelets induces tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 2 but not phospholipase C-gamma 1. We also show that the platelet low affinity Fc receptor (Fc gamma RII), which mediates activation of platelets by immune complexes, and wheat germ agglutinin, which binds non-specifically to glycoprotein, stimulate phospholipase C-gamma 2 tyrosine phosphorylation. In contrast, we could not detect phospholipase C-gamma 2 tyrosine phosphorylation in platelets stimulated by either thrombin or a stable thromboxane A2 analogue, U46619.
