Src homology 3 domain of Phospholipase C (PLC) gamma 2
PLCgamma2 is primarily expressed in haematopoietic cells, specifically in B cells. It is activated by tyrosine phosphorylation by B cell receptor (BCR) kinases and is recruited to the plasma membrane where its substrate is located. It is required in pre-BCR signaling and in the maturation of B cells. PLCs catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] to produce Ins(1,4,5)P3 and diacylglycerol (DAG). Ins(1,4,5)P3 initiates the calcium signaling cascade while DAG functions as an activator of PKC. PLCgamma contains a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain followed by an elongation factor (EF) domain, two catalytic regions of PLC domains that flank two tandem SH2 domains, followed by a SH3 domain and C2 domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.
