title: A role of lyso-phosphatidylcholine in GM3-dependent inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor autophosphorylation in A431 plasma membranes.
abstract: EGF-dependent receptor autophosphorylation (EDRA) in A431 plasma membrane was specifically stimulated by lysophospholipids having phosphorylcholine head group (e.g., lyso-phosphatidylcholine; lyso-PC) but not other lysophospholipids, in the absence of detergent. In contrast, GM3 specifically inhibited EDRA under the same experimental conditions in which lyso-PC stimulated EDRA. This GM3-dependent inhibition was more efficient in the absence (vs. presence) of a detergent (Triton X-100). These results indicate an essential role of lyso-PC in GM3-regulated EGF receptor functions.
