#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Activated RTKs and cytokine receptors promote PLCγ activity in two ways: 

By localizing PLCγ to the membrane

By phosphorylating PLCγ

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

The SH2 domains of PLCγ bind to specific phosphotyrosines on the activated RTKs and cytokine receptors, thus positioning PLCγ close to PIP2.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Kinase activity associated with receptor activation phosphorylates tyrosines on the bound PLCγ, enhancing its hydrolase activity.
