Gene: PLCG2 (Homo sapiens) Activity: Phosphoinositide phospholipase C, with EC number 3.1.4.11 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease [PLCG2_HUMAN] Defects in PLCG2 are the cause of familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome type 3 (FCAS3) [MIM:614468]. An autosomal dominant immune disorder characterized by the development of cutaneous urticaria, erythema, and pruritis in response to cold exposure. Affected individuals have variable additional immunologic defects, including antibody deficiency, decreased numbers of B cells, defective B cells, increased susceptibility to infection, and increased risk of autoimmune disorders. Function [PLCG2_HUMAN] The production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes. It is a crucial enzyme in transmembrane signaling. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Several isoforms of phospholipase C (PLC) are regulated through interactions with Ras superfamily GTPases, including Rac proteins. Interestingly, of two closely related PLCgamma isoforms, only PLCgamma(2) has previously been shown to be activated by Rac. Here, we explore the molecular basis of this interaction as well as the structural properties of PLCgamma(2) required for activation. Based on reconstitution experiments with isolated PLCgamma variants and Rac2, we show that an unusual pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, designated as the split PH domain (spPH), is both necessary and sufficient to effect activation of PLCgamma(2) by Rac2. We also demonstrate that Rac2 directly binds to PLCgamma(2) as well as to the isolated spPH of this isoform. Furthermore, through the use of NMR spectroscopy and mutational analysis, we determine the structure of spPH, define the structural features of spPH required for Rac interaction, and identify critical amino acid residues at the interaction interface. We further discuss parallels and differences between PLCgamma(1) and PLCgamma(2) and the implications of our findings for their respective signaling roles. rac regulates its effector phospholipase Cgamma2 through interaction with a split pleckstrin homology domain.,Walliser C, Retlich M, Harris R, Everett KL, Josephs MB, Vatter P, Esposito D, Driscoll PC, Katan M, Gierschik P, Bunney TD J Biol Chem. 2008 Oct 31;283(44):30351-62.
