We show here that despite the known action of Tyr577 in βc to recruit Shc–PI-3 kinase (PI3K) pathway members, Tyr577 plays, surprisingly, a negative regulatory role in cell function, and that this is mediated, at least in part, through the uncoupling of SH2-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase (SHIP) from βc. Fetal liver cells from βc/βIL-3–/– mice expressing human GM-CSF receptor chain and βc Tyr577Phe mutant showed enhanced colony formation and expansion of progenitor cells in response to GM-CSF. Dissection of these activities revealed that basal survival was increased, as well as cytokine-stimulated proliferation. As expected, the recruitment and activation of Shc was abolished, but interestingly, Gab-2 and Akt phosphorylation increased. Significantly, the activation of PI3K was enhanced and prolonged, accompanied by loss of SHIP activity. These results reveal a previously unrecognized negative signaling role for Tyr577 in βc and demonstrate that uncoupling Shc from cytokine receptors enhances PI3K signaling as well as survival and proliferation.
