“…For example, phosphorylation of a conserved tyrosine in the C-terminal tail of FGFRs creates a docking site for Phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1), a tandem SH2-containing substrate (Eswarakumar et al, 2005; Mohammadi et al, 1991; Peters et al, 1992). This recruitment plays a dual role in the activation of the PLCγ pathway: 1) it facilitates phosphorylation of PLCγ which relieves PLCγ autoinhibition, resulting in upregulation of the lipase activity of the enzyme (Bunney et al, 2012b; Hajicek et al, 2013; Poulin et al, 2005), 2) it translocates PLCγ to the vicinity of its substrate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in the plasma membrane, where the activated enzyme can hydrolyze PIP2 leading to the generation of the second messengers DAG and IP3 (Ellis et al, 1998; Schlessinger, 1997). …”
