Antigen receptor ligation on lymphocytes activates protein tyrosine kinases
and phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) isoforms. Glutathione S- transferase
fusion proteins containing the C-terminal Src-homology 2 [SH2(C)] domain of
PLC-gamma1 bound to tyrosyl phosphorylated Syk. Syk isolated from antigen
receptor-activated B cells phosphorylated PLC- gamma1 on Tyr-771 and the
key regulatory residue Tyr-783 in vitro, whereas Lyn from the same B cells
phosphorylated PLC-gamma1 only on Tyr- 771. The ability of Syk to
phosphorylate PLC-gamma1 required antigen receptor ligation, while Lyn was
constitutively active. An mCD8-Syk cDNA construct could be expressed as a
tyrosyl-phosphorylated chimeric protein tyrosine kinase in COS cells, was
recognized by PLC-gamma1 SH2(C) in vitro, and induced tyrosyl
phosphorylation of endogenous PLC- gamma1 in vivo. Substitution of Tyr-525
and Tyr-526 at the autophosphorylation site of Syk in mCD8-Syk
substantially reduced the kinase activity and the binding of this variant
chimera to PLC-gamma1 SH2(C) in vitro; it also failed to induce tyrosyl
phosphorylation of PLC-gamma1 in vivo. In contrast, substitution of Tyr-348
and Tyr-352 in the linker region of Syk in mCD8-Syk did not affect the
kinase activity of this variant chimera but almost completely eliminated
its binding to PLC-gamma1 SH(C) and completely eliminated its ability to
induce tyrosyl phosphorylation of PLC-gamma1 in vivo. Thus, an optimal
kinase activity of Syk and an interaction between the linker region of Syk
with PLC-gamma1 are required for the tyrosyl phosphorylation of PLC-
gamma1.
