We have recently demonstrated that the D3-phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (Pt-dIns-3,4,5-P 3 ) is critical for producing sustained calcium signals through its role in promoting the function of TEC family tyrosine kinases such as Bruton's tyrosine kinase. Although PtdIns-3,4,5-P 3 can potentially be synthesized by any of several types of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), B cell receptor (BCR)-induced PtdIns-3,4,5-P 3 production is thought to occur primarily through

This process has been proposed to be mediated by an interaction between the Src family kinase LYN and the p85 subunit of PI3K and/or through p85 membrane recruitment mediated by CBL and/or CD19. However, calcium signaling and other PI3K-dependent signals are relatively preserved in a LYN kinase-deficient B lymphocyte cell line, suggesting that an alternative pathway for PI3K activation exists. As SYK/ZAP70 kinases are upstream from many BCR-initiated signaling events, we directly analyzed SYK-dependent accumulation of both PtdIns-3,4,5-P 3 and PtdIns-3,4-P 2 in B cell receptor signaling using both dominant negative and genetic knockout approaches. Both methods indicate that SYK is upstream of, and necessary for, a significant portion of BCR-induced PtdIns-3,4,5-P 3 production. Whereas CD19 does not appear to be involved in this SYK-dependent pathway, the SYK substrate CBL is likely involved as the dominant negative SYK markedly attenuates CBL tyrosine phosphorylation and completely blocks the BCR-dependent association of CBL with p85 PI3K. . 1 The abbreviations used are: BCR, B cell receptor; ITAMs, immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif; PtdIns-3,4,5-P 3 , phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate; PtdIns-3,4-P 2 , phosphatidylinositol 3,4bisphosphate; PI3K, phosphoinositide 3-kinase; HPLC, high pressure liquid chromatography; pfu, plaque-forming units.
