To understand the mechanism(s) by which p56lck participates in T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling, we have examined the effects of mutations in known regulatory domains of p56lck on the ability of F505 p56lck to enhance the responsiveness of an antigen-specific murine T-cell hybridoma. A mutation of the amino-terminal site of myristylation (glycine 2), which prevents stable association of p56lck with the plasma membrane, completely abolished the ability of F505 p56lck to enhance TCR-induced tyrosine protein phosphorylation. Alteration of the major site of in vitro autophosphorylation, tyrosine 394, to phenylalanine diminished the enhancement of TCR-induced tyrosine protein phosphorylation by F505 p56lck. Such a finding is consistent with the previous demonstration that this site is required for full activation of p56lck by mutation of tyrosine 505. Strikingly, deletion of the noncatalytic Src homology domain 2, but not of the Src homology domain 3, markedly reduced the improvement of TCR-induced tyrosine protein phosphorylation by F505 Lck. Additional studies revealed that all the mutations tested, including deletion of the Src homology 3 region, abrogated the enhancement of antigen-triggered interleukin-2 production by F505 p56lck, thus implying more stringent requirements for augmentation of antigen responsiveness by F505 Lck. Finally, it was also observed that expression of F505 p56lck greatly increased TCR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1, raising the possibility that phospholipase C-gamma 1 may be a substrate for p56lck in T lymphocytes. Our results indicate that p56lck regulates T-cell antigen receptor signalling through a complex process requiring multiple distinct structural domains of the protein.

The mechanism by which phospholipase C (PLC) digestion of cultured cells mediates binding of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase to cellular membranes was investigated. Incubation of choline-depleted rat hepatocytes with PLC caused a translocation of enzyme from cytosol to membranes concomitant with a decrease in the concentration of phosphatidylcholine with no effect on the concentration of other phospholipids. Removal of PLC and supplementation with choline restored the amount of phosphatidylcholine in the cells and translocated cytidylyltransferase to the cytosol. However, when phosphatidylcholine levels were decreased by incubation with phospholipase A2 (PLA2), there was no significant redistribution of cytidylyltransferase activity. With PLA2 the concentration of phosphatidylethanolamine, as well as of phosphatidylcholine, was significantly decreased. Since PLC, but not phospholipase A2, raised the cellular concentration of diacylglycerol, possibly diacylglycerol mediated the binding of cytidylyltransferase to membranes. This possibility was examined, but is unlikely, since addition of lysophosphatidylcholine to PLC-treated cells restored the concentration of phosphatidylcholine and released cytidylyltransferase into the cytosol, but did not lower diacylglycerol levels to normal values. Studies in vitro, incubations of cells with choline analogues and a survey of the literature suggested that the over-riding common factor in regulation of cytidylyltransferase binding to membranes may be the ratio of bilayer to non-bilayer lipids in that membrane.

Ethanol Feeding

The activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C by ethanol was compared in hepatocytes isolated from ethanol-fed rats and from pair-fed control animals. Ethanol (100-300 mM) caused a dose-dependent transient increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ levels in indo-1-loaded hepatocytes from both groups of animals. The rate of Ca2+ increase was similar in hepatocytes from control and ethanol-fed rats, but the decay of the Ca2+ increase was somewhat slower in the latter preparation. The ethanol-induced Ca2+ increase caused activation of glycogen phosphorylase, with 50% response at 50 mM-ethanol and a maximal response at 150-200 mM-ethanol, not significantly different in hepatocytes from control and ethanol-fed animals. Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation in response to ethanol (300 mM) or vasopressin (2 nM or 40 nM) was also similar in the two preparations. It is concluded that long-term ethanol feeding does not lead to an adaptive response with respect to the ethanol-induced phospholipase C activation in rat hepatocytes. The ability of ethanol in vitro to decrease membrane molecular order in liver plasma membranes from ethanol-fed and control rats was measured by e.s.r. Membranes from ethanol-fed animals had a significantly lower baseline order parameter compared with control preparations (0.313 and 0.327 respectively), indicative of decreased membrane molecular order. Addition of 100 mM-ethanol significantly decreased the order parameter in control preparations by 2.1%, but had no effect on the order parameter of plasma membranes from ethanol-fed rats, indicating that the plasma membranes had developed tolerance to ethanol, similar to other membranes in the liver. Thus the membrane structural changes associated with this membrane tolerance do not modify the ethanol-induced activation of phospholipase C. The transient activation of phospholipase C by ethanol in hepatocytes may play a role in maintaining an adaptive phenotype in rat liver.

Phospholipase C Gamma

p62 is a highly tyrosyl phosphorylated protein that was first identified in immunoprecipitates of the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) of p21ras from cells transformed by oncogenic nonreceptor tyrosine kinases or stimulated through tyrosine kinase receptors (C. Ellis, M. Moran, F. McCormick, and T. Pawson, Nature 343:377-381, 1991). In this article we describe a highly related 62-kDa protein that becomes tyrosyl phosphorylated and associated with phospholipase C gamma (PLC gamma) in C3H10T1/2 cells stimulated with epidermal growth factor (EGF) or transformed by v-src. GAP-associated and PLC gamma-associated p62 comigrated in one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and exhibited nearly identical phosphotryptic peptide patterns. That the association of p62 with PLC gamma was direct and not mediated through binding of GAP-p62 to PLC gamma or to the EGF receptor (and coprecipitation of the receptor with PLC gamma) was demonstrated by (i) the inability to detect GAP in PLC gamma immunocomplexes or PLC gamma in GAP immunocomplexes, (ii) the association of p62 with PLC gamma in v-src-transformed cells in the absence of EGF stimulation, and (iii) in vitro solution binding and direct blotting of p62 with a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of PLC gamma. Unlike GAP, whose N-terminal SH2 mediates the interaction between GAP and p62, PLC gamma was found to require both its N- and C-terminal SH2 regions for p62 binding. These studies demonstrate that a protein identical to or highly related to GAP-associated p62 binds PLC gamma and suggest a means by which "cross-talk" between PLC gamma- and GAP-mediated signalling may occur.

Stimulation Of

Recently, we and others have reported tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC gamma 1) enzyme after CD3 activation of T cells, and have proposed that PLC gamma 1 mediates signal transduction through the T cell receptor (TCR/CD3). Here, using immunoblotting and immune complex PLC assays, we show that CD3 stimulation of Jurkat cells induces the association of PLC gamma 1 enzyme with CD3 complex. PLC activity is also found to co-precipitate with the CD3 zeta chain from activated cells. In addition, in vitro PLC assays show that CD3 activation leads to about 10-fold stimulation of PLC gamma 1 activity. These results, along with the observation that Jurkat cells preferentially express PLC gamma 1, indicate that PLC gamma 1 participates in CD3 signaling.
