Phospholipase C
2 (PLC
2) has been implicated in collagen-induced
signal transduction in platelets and antigen-dependent signaling in
B-lymphocytes. It has been suggested that tyrosine kinases activate PLC
2. We expressed the full-length cDNA for human PLC
2 in bacteria and purified the recombinant enzyme. The recombinant enzyme
was Ca2+-dependent with optimal activity in the range of 1 to 10 µM Ca2+. In vitro phosphorylation experiments with
recombinant PLC
2 and recombinant Lck, Fyn, and Lyn tyrosine kinases
showed that phosphorylation of PLC
2 led to activation of the
recombinant enzyme. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we investigated
the role of specific tyrosine residues in activation of PLC
2. A
mutant form of PLC
2, in which all three tyrosines at positions 743, 753, and 759 in the SH2-SH3 linker region were replaced by
phenylalanines, exhibited decreased Lck-induced phosphorylation
and completely abolished the Lck-dependent activation of PLC
2.
Individual mutations of these tyrosine residues demonstrated that
tyrosines 753 and 759, but not 743, were responsible for Lck-induced
activation of PLC
2. To confirm these results, we procured a
phosphospecific antibody to a peptide containing phosphorylated
tyrosines corresponding to residues 753 and 759. This antibody
recognized phosphorylated wild-type PLC
2 on Western blots but did
not interact with unphosphorylated PLC
2 or with PLC
2
containing mutated tyrosine residues at 753 and 759. Using this
antibody, we showed in intact platelets that collagen, a
PLC
2-dependent agonist, induces phosphorylation of PLC
2 at Y753
and Y759. These studies demonstrate the importance of these two
tyrosine residues in regulating the activity of PLC
2.
