Syk Activation and Dissociation from the B-cell Antigen Receptor Is Mediated by Phosphorylation of Tyrosine 130*

Syk (p72 syk ) is a 72-kDa cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinase that serves as an essential component of the signal transduction machinery coupled to the B-cell antigen receptor. Syk is recruited to the receptor when it is cross-linked and, in response, becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated and activated before it dissociates from the receptor and appears in the cytoplasm. To begin to explore how tyrosine phosphorylation affects Syk activation and receptor binding, Tyr-130, which is localized within the Syk inter-Src homology 2 domain region, was substituted with Phe or Glu. Substitution of Tyr-130 with Phe enhanced the binding of Syk to the receptor and increased receptor-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation, while substitution with Glu greatly reduced this interaction. Replacement of Tyr-130 with Glu also increased the basal activity of the kinase, while replacement with Phe decreased its activity and uncoupled kinase activation from receptor engagement. These data suggest that the phosphorylation of Tyr-130 normally plays an important role in mediating both the activation of Syk and its release from the antigen receptor.
