title: Regulation of phospholipase C isozymes: activation of phospholipase C-gamma in the absence of tyrosine-phosphorylation.
abstract: Activation of PLC-gamma isozymes in response to various agonists involves tyrosine phosphorylation of the effector enzymes. Recent evidence indicates that PLC-gamma isozymes are additionally activated by phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate and arachidonic acid in the absence of PLC-gamma tyrosine phosphorylation. These lipid-derived messengers are the immediate products of phospholipase D, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and phospholipase A2, enzymes which are often stimulated along with PLC-gamma in response to an agonist. Furthermore, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate acts as a substrate for both PLC-gamma and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and as an activator for phospholipase D and phospholipase A2. These results reveal an elaborate mechanism of cross-talk and mutual regulation between four effector enzymes that participate in receptor signaling by acting on phospholipids.
