The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway plays a critical role in B cell activation and differentiation. Recruitment of pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing signal transduction proteins to the plasma membrane through binding to 3-phosphoinositide second messengers represents a major effector mechanism for PI3Ks. We have found that the PH domains of Bam32 and tandem PH domain-containing protein 2 (TAPP2) specify a temporally distinct wave of membrane recruitment compared with that of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk), with recruitment of these two adaptors representing a later stage of the response. In this study we provide direct evidence that PH domain-dependent recruitment of Btk to the membrane is blocked by coligation of the inhibitory receptor FcRII in human B lymphoma cells. In contrast, recruitment specified by the Bam32 or TAPP2 PH domains is completely insensitive to FcRII inhibition. This differential regulation can be accounted for by Src homology 2-containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (SHIP) activity alone, as expression of membrane-targeted SHIP completely abrogated Btk recruitment, but had no inhibitory effect on Bam32 or TAPP2 recruitment. Strikingly, kinetic analysis revealed that membrane recruitment of Bam32 and TAPP2 is actually more rapid under "inhibitory" signaling conditions. Analysis of 3-phosphoinositide generation under activating and inhibitory signaling conditions indicated that recruitment of Bam32 and TAPP2 is inversely correlated with the SHIP substrate/product ratio (phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate/phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate). Overexpression of TAPP2 in B cells led to an increase in the sustained phase of the calcium response and increased NF-AT-dependent transcriptional activation after B cell Ag receptor ligation. Together, these results suggest that Bam32 and TAPP2 adaptors define a novel group of SHIP-activated targets of PI3K that regulate B cell Ag receptor signaling.
