Growth factor-dependent translocation of phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) was investigated using a green fluorescent protein-tagged PLC-γ1 (PLC-γ1–GFP) expressed in human epidermoid carcinoma A-431 cells. In the absence of growth factors, PLC-γ1–GFP was present throughout the cytoplasm of A-431 cells. Treatment of the cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) produced a very rapid redistribution of PLC-γ1–GFP to the plasma membrane in a nonuniform manner. This translocation to the plasma membrane was insensitive to an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and was independent of cell adhesion. However, the translocation was disrupted by an agent which depolymerizes the actin cytoskeleton. At later times following the addition of EGF, PLC-γ1–GFP appeared associated with intracellular vesicles. Stimulation of A-431 cells by Texas red-conjugated EGF for more than 10 min resulted in punctate intracellular PLC-γ1–GFP distribution that colocalized with Texas red-conjugated EGF. This suggests that PLC-γ1 is translocated to endosomes after EGF treatment, probably by associating with the internalized and autophosphorylated EGF receptor. Fractionation studies demonstrated that the EGF-induced plasma membrane-localized PLC-γ1 is concentrated in caveolae microdomains. Disruption of caveolae with methyl-β-cyclodextrin resulted in the ablation of EGF-induced, but not bradykinin-induced, mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. This treatment, however, only partially decreased PLC-γ1 membrane translocation.
