Abstract The C-type lectin receptor CLEC-2 activates platelets through Src and Syk tyrosine kinases, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream adapter proteins and effector enzymes, including phospholipase-C γ2. Signaling is initiated through phosphorylation of a single conserved tyrosine located in a YxxL sequence in the CLEC-2 cytosolic tail. The signaling pathway used by CLEC-2 shares many similarities with that used by receptors that have 1 or more copies of an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif, defined by the sequence Yxx(L/I)x6-12Yxx(L/I), in their cytosolic tails or associated receptor chains. Phosphorylation of the conserved immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif tyrosines promotes Syk binding and activation through binding of the Syk tandem SH2 domains. In this report, we present evidence using peptide pull-down studies, surface plasmon resonance, quantitative Western blotting, tryptophan fluorescence measurements, and competition experiments that Syk activation by CLEC-2 is mediated by the cross-linking through the tandem SH2 domains with a stoichiometry of 2:1. In support of this model, cross-linking and electron microscopy demonstrate that CLEC-2 is present as a dimer in resting platelets and converted to larger complexes on activation. This is a unique mode of activation of Syk by a single YxxL-containing receptor.

ABSTRACT Soon after asymmetric septation in sporulating Bacillus subtilis cells, ςF is liberated in the prespore from inhibition by SpoIIAB. To initiate transcription from its cognate promoters, ςF must compete with ςA, the housekeeping sigma factor in the predivisional cell, for binding to core RNA polymerase (E). To estimate the relative affinity of E for ςA and ςF, we made separate mixtures of E with each of the two sigma factors, allowed reconstitution of the holoenzyme, and measured the concentration of free E remaining in each mixture. The affinity of E for ςF was found to be about 25-fold lower than that for ςA. We used quantitative Western blotting to estimate the concentrations of E, ςA, and ςF in sporulating cells. The cellular concentrations of E and ςA were both about 7.5 μM, and neither changed significantly during the first 3 h of sporulation. The concentration of ςF was extremely low at the beginning of sporulation, but it rose rapidly to a peak after about 2 h. At its peak, the concentration of ςF was some twofold higher than that of ςA. This difference in concentration cannot adequately account for the replacement of ςA holoenzyme by ςF holoenzyme in the prespore, and it seems that some further mechanism—perhaps the synthesis or activation of an anti-ςA factor—must be responsible for this replacement.
