Phosphorylation of spleen tyrosine kinase at Y346 negatively regulates ITAM-mediated signaling and function in platelets. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104865. [PMID: 37268160 PMCID: PMC10320515 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is expressed in a variety of hemopoietic cells. Upon phosphorylation of the platelet immunoreceptor-based activation motif of the glycoprotein VI (GPVI)/Fc receptor gamma chain collagen receptor, both the tyrosine phosphorylation and activity of Syk are increased leading to downstream signaling events. Although it has been established that the activity of Syk is regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation, the specific roles of individual phosphorylation sites remain to be elucidated. We observed that Syk Y346 in mouse platelets was still phosphorylated when GPVI-induced Syk activity was inhibited. We then generated Syk Y346F mice and analyzed the effect this mutation exerts on platelet responses. Syk Y346F mice bred normally, and their blood cell count was unaltered. We did observe potentiation of GPVI-induced platelet aggregation and ATP secretion as well as increased phosphorylation of other tyrosines on Syk in the Syk Y346F mouse platelets when compared to WT littermates. This phenotype was specific for GPVI-dependent activation, since it was not seen when AYPGKF, a PAR4 agonist, or 2-MeSADP, a purinergic receptor agonist, was used to activate platelets. Despite a clear effect of Syk Y346F on GPVI-mediated signaling and cellular responses, there was no effect of this mutation on hemostasis as measured by tail-bleeding times, although the time to thrombus formation determined using the ferric chloride injury model was reduced. Thus, our results indicate a significant effect of Syk Y346F on platelet activation and responses in vitro and reveal its complex nature manifesting itself by the diversified translation of platelet activation into physiological responses.

Abstract
VAV1 is a hematopoietic signal transducer that possesses a GDP/GTP nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that is tightly regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation, along with adapter protein domains, such as SH2 and SH3. Research on VAV1 has advanced over the years since its discovery as an in vitro activated oncogene in an NIH3T3 screen for oncogenes. Although the oncogenic form of VAV1 first identified in the screen has not been detected in human clinical tumors, its wild-type and mutant forms have been implicated in mammalian malignancies of various tissue origins, as well as those of the hematopoietic system. This review article addresses the activity of human VAV1 as an overexpressed or mutated gene and also describes the differences in the distribution of VAV1 mutations in the hematopoietic system and in other tissues. The knowledge accumulated thus far from GEMMs expressing VAV1 is described, with the conclusion that GEMMs of both wild-type VAV1 and mutant VAV1 do not form tumors, yet these will be generated when additional molecular insults, such as loss of p53 or KRAS mutation, occur.

Abstract
Abstract
Phagocytosis mediated by FcγR plays an important role in host defense. The molecular events involved in this process have not been completely defined. The adapter protein Cbl has been implicated in FcγR signaling, but the function of Cbl in phagocytosis is unknown. Here we show that overexpression of the transforming mutants of Cbl, Cbl-70Z, and v-Cbl, but not wild-type (wt) Cbl, enhance phagocytosis mediated by FcγR in COS cells. Cbl-70Z, but not Cbl-wt, also enhanced FcγR-mediated phagocytosis in P388D1 murine macrophage cells. Cbl-70Z did not affect tyrosine phosphorylation or in vitro kinase activity of Syk, indicating that Syk may not be the direct target of Cbl-70Z in the enhancement of phagocytosis. A point mutation (G306E) in the phosphotyrosine domain of Cbl-70Z, as well as a C-terminal 67-aa deletion, partially abolished the enhancing effect on FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. A double mutant of Cbl-70Z containing both the G306E mutation and the C-terminal deletion completely lacked the ability to enhance phagocytosis. Thus, both the phosphotyrosine binding domain and the carboxyl-terminal tail were required for optimal enhancement of phagocytosis by Cbl-70Z. Functional phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase was required for Cbl-70Z to enhance phagocytosis, since wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, inhibited FcγR-mediated phagocytosis in the presence of Cbl-70Z. These studies demonstrate that mutants of Cbl can modulate the phagocytic pathway mediated by FcγR and imply a functional involvement of c-Cbl in Fcγ receptor-mediated phagocytosis.

Abstract
Abstract
The Syk protein tyrosine kinase is an essential component of the B cell Ag receptor signaling pathway. Syk is phosphorylated on tyrosine following B cell activation. However, the sites that are modified and the kinases responsible for these modifications have yet to be determined. To approach this problem, we used a mapping strategy based on the electrophoretic separation of peptides on alkaline polyacrylamide gels to identify the tryptic phosphopeptides derived from metabolically labeled Syk. In this work, we report that Syk from activated B cells is phosphorylated principally on six tyrosines: one located between the tandem SH2 domains (Tyr130); three in the linker region (Tyr317, Tyr342, and Tyr346); and two in the catalytic domain (Tyr519 and Tyr520). The linker region sites are the primary targets of the Src family protein tyrosine kinase, Lyn, and include a site that negatively (Tyr317) regulates receptor signaling. Efficient phosphorylation of the catalytic domain and inter-SH2 domain tyrosines is catalyzed primarily by Syk itself, but only occurs to an appreciable extent in cells that express Lyn. We propose that these sites are phosphorylated following the binding of Syk to immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif.

Abstract
Abstract
T cells of tumor bearers often show defective TCR-mediated signaling events and, therefore, exhibit impaired immune responses. As such, patients with heavy tumor burden are often not amenable to adoptive T cell therapy. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a chimeric receptor that joins an extracellular single chain Fv (scFv) of a specific Ab for Ag recognition to an intracellular protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) for signal propagation. Stimulation through the scFv-PTK receptor should bypass defective TCR-proximal events and directly access the T cell’s effector mechanisms. In this study we describe the optimization of a scFv-PTK configuration, leading to complete T cell activation. The cytosolic PTK Syk is superior to its family member, Zap-70, for intracellular signaling. As a transmembrane (TM) domain, CD4 performs better than CD8 when plastic-immobilized Ag serves as a stimulator. However, when APC are used to trigger chimeric receptors, the need for a flexible spacer between the scFv and TM domains becomes apparent. The CD8α-derived hinge successfully performs this task in chimeric scFv-Syk receptors regardless of its cysteine content. A cytotoxic T cell hybridoma expressing chimeric receptor genes composed of scFv-CD8hinge-CD8TM-Syk or scFv-CD8hinge-CD4TM-Syk is efficiently stimulated to produce IL-2 upon interaction with APC and specifically lyses appropriate target cells in a non-MHC-restricted manner.
