IL-7 is a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of lymphocyte precursor growth. In addition, it has a comitogenic effect on mature T cells but not on mature B cells. The exact mechanism whereby IL-7R mediates these cell growth properties remains unknown. Because many growth factor receptor systems on various cell types transduce signals by activating a tyrosine kinase, we have studied here the effect of IL-7R ligation on protein tyrosine phosphorylation. We found that human rIL-7 consistently induced tyrosine phosphorylation of five major proteins, of 175, 155, 135, 110, and 85 kDa, and five minor proteins. The effect of human rIL-7 on tyrosine phosphorylation of these substrates was concentration and time dependent. One of the known substrates that is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues after binding of growth factors to their receptors is the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. Several phospholipase C isozymes have been recently recognized; one isozyme, phospholipase C-gamma 1, was demonstrated to be phosphorylated rapidly after ligand binding to the platelet-derived growth factor receptor and the T cell Ag receptor. We show here that, in contrast to Ag receptor ligation, activation of IL-7R does not induce tyrosine phosphorylation on phospholipase C-gamma 1. Consistent with these results, human rIL-7 failed to increase phosphatidylinositol turnover and did not induce a rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ in the thymocytes, mature T cells, or pre-pre-B cells. The results indicate that the IL-7R mediates the activation of the tyrosine phosphorylation pathway but does not induce the phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C pathway.

D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
