title: Lymphocyte lineage-restricted tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins that bind PLC gamma 1 SH2 domains.
abstract: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) or platelet-derived growth factor binding to their receptor on fibroblasts induces tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC gamma 1 and stable association of PLC gamma 1 with the receptor protein tyrosine kinase. Similarly in lymphocytes, cross-linking of antigen receptors induces the formation of molecular complexes incorporating PLC gamma 1; however, associated kinase activity is thought to be mediated through cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase(s). In this report, we generated a fusion protein containing the SH2 domains of human PLC gamma 1 and human IgG1 heavy chain constant region to identify lymphocyte phosphoprotein-binding PLC gamma 1 SH2 domains following cellular activation. As in EGF- or platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated fibroblasts, PLC gamma 1 is coprecipitated in activated lymphocytes, complexed with associated tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. One of these, a 35/36-kDa protein found prominently in T cells and at lower levels in B cells, bound to the fusion protein in immunoprecipitation experiments. The fusion protein showed lineage restricted association with a 74-kDa phosphoprotein in T cells and a 93-kDa phosphoprotein in B cells. It bound to activated EGF receptor in fibroblasts as expected, and protein tyrosine kinase activity was precipitated from EGF-stimulated cells. However, PLC gamma 1-associated protein tyrosine kinase activity was not detected in activated lymphocytes. These data suggest that lymphocyte PLC gamma 1 SH2-binding proteins are cell lineage specific and may be transiently associated with activated PLC gamma 1.
