RESUMO

We investigated the interaction of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) with wild-type and mutant forms of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor both in vivo and in vitro. After PDGF treatment of CHO cell lines expressing wild-type or either of two mutant (delta Ki and Y825F) PDGF receptors, PLC-gamma became tyrosine phosphorylated and associated with the receptor proteins. The receptor association and tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma correlated with the ability of these receptors to mediate ligand-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover. However, both the delta Ki and Y825F mutant receptors were deficient in transmitting mitogenic signals, suggesting that the PDGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and receptor association of PLC-gamma are not sufficient to account for the growth-stimulatory activity of PDGF. Wild-type and delta Ki mutant PDGF receptor proteins expressed with recombinant baculovirus vectors also associated in vitro with mammalian PLC-gamma. However, baculovirus-expressed c-fms, v-fms, c-src, and Raf-1 proteins failed to associate with PLC-gamma under similar conditions. Phosphatase treatment of the baculovirus-expressed PDGF receptor greatly decreased its association with PLC-gamma. This requirement for receptor phosphorylation was also observed in vivo, where PLC-gamma could not associate with a mutant PDGF receptor (K602A) defective in autophosphorylation. PLC-gamma also coimmunoprecipitated with two other putative receptor substrates, the serine-threonine kinase Raf-1 and the 85-kilodalton phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase, presumably through its association with the ligand-activated receptor. Furthermore, baculovirus-expressed Raf-1 phosphorylated purified PLC-gamma in vitro at sites which showed increased serine phosphorylation in vivo in response to PDGF. These results suggest that PDGF directly influences PLC activity by inducing the association of PLC-gamma with a receptor signaling complex, resulting in increased tyrosine and serine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma.
