Gene Description

PLCG2 encodes phospholipase C-gamma 2, a multidomain phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C enriched in hematopoietic cells and microglia. After recruitment to activated receptor signaling complexes through SH2/phosphotyrosine and adaptor interactions, PLCG2 hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate at plasma-membrane and membrane-raft signaling sites to generate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol, coupling B-cell, Fc receptor, C-type lectin, platelet, TREM2, Toll-like receptor, and related immune pathways to calcium mobilization, lipid signaling, transcriptional responses, phagocytosis, inflammatory signaling, and other hematopoietic or myeloid cell outcomes.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0004435 phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PLCG2 is a phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C that hydrolyzes PIP2 to IP3 and DAG after receptor-induced activation.
Reason: Retain as core because PLCG2/PLC-gamma2 directly catalyzes phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis, with experimental support for recombinant and cellular activity and activation by Tyr753/Tyr759 phosphorylation (PMID:11043765, PMID:11606584, PMID:12181444, PMID:23000145).
GO:0046488 phosphatidylinositol metabolic process
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MODIFY
Summary: The annotation is directionally correct but too broad for PLCG2; the specific biology is PIP2 phospholipase activity and phosphoinositide-mediated receptor signaling.
Reason: Modify to the specific PLCG2 catalytic/signaling terms because generic lipid metabolism, phospholipid catabolism, hydrolase activity, or signal transduction hides the defining PIP2 phospholipase mechanism.
GO:0010634 positive regulation of epithelial cell migration
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: This epithelial migration annotation is weakly connected to PLC-gamma family signaling but is not characteristic of hematopoietic PLCG2 biology.
Reason: Mark as over-annotated because PLCG2 is primarily a hematopoietic/microglial receptor-signaling PLC; the review evidence supports immune receptor signaling rather than a core epithelial migration function.
GO:0048015 phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: This captures PLCG2-mediated phosphoinositide signaling downstream of immune and growth-factor receptor activation.
Reason: Retain because the core PLCG2 reaction converts PIP2 into IP3 and DAG, linking receptor tyrosine/SYK/BTK signaling to calcium and DAG-dependent intracellular signaling (PMID:11043765, PMID:11331309, PMID:11606584).
GO:0032587 ruffle membrane
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PLCG2 functions from cytosolic pools that transiently translocate to plasma-membrane, membrane-raft, and ruffle signaling sites and can later appear in internal vesicles.
Reason: Retain because PLC-gamma localization to plasma membrane and membrane ruffles is tied to receptor binding, access to PI(4,5)P2 substrate, activation, and later internalization; PLCG2 also has Reactome and UniProt support for cytosol/plasma-membrane signaling locations (PMID:11331309).

Summary: PLCG2 functions from cytosolic pools that transiently translocate to plasma-membrane, membrane-raft, and ruffle signaling sites and can later appear in internal vesicles.
Reason: Retain because PLC-gamma localization to plasma membrane and membrane ruffles is tied to receptor binding, access to PI(4,5)P2 substrate, activation, and later internalization; PLCG2 also has Reactome and UniProt support for cytosol/plasma-membrane signaling locations (PMID:11331309).

Summary: PLCG2 binds kinase/scaffold/adaptor proteins that recruit and activate it in immune-receptor signaling complexes.
Reason: Retain because Btk/Syk/BLNK and BANK1 evidence supports PLCG2 recruitment and activation through kinase and scaffold/adaptor complexes in BCR and related immune signaling (PMID:11606584, PMID:23555801).

MODIFY
Summary: The annotation is directionally correct but too broad for PLCG2; the specific biology is PIP2 phospholipase activity and phosphoinositide-mediated receptor signaling.
Reason: Modify to the specific PLCG2 catalytic/signaling terms because generic lipid metabolism, phospholipid catabolism, hydrolase activity, or signal transduction hides the defining PIP2 phospholipase mechanism.

ACCEPT
Summary: PLCG2 is a receptor-proximal transducer in immune-receptor pathways, especially BCR, Fc receptor, C-type lectin, and related hematopoietic signaling.
Reason: Retain as core or near-core immune signaling biology because PLCG2 is recruited and activated by receptor-coupled tyrosine kinase/adaptor modules such as Syk, Btk, BLNK, BANK1, FCER/FCGR, and C-type lectin pathways (PMID:11043765, PMID:11606584, PMID:23555801; Reactome PLCG2 events).

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: This immune-cell process is a plausible downstream or cell-type-specific outcome of PLCG2 receptor signaling.
Reason: Keep as non-core because PLCG2 can regulate B-cell, platelet, NK-cell, myeloid, and microglial responses, but the annotation reflects an effector phenotype downstream of the core PIP2 phospholipase/receptor-proximal signaling mechanism (PMID:11043765, PMID:23555801, PMID:32514138).

Summary: PLCG2 produces IP3 downstream of receptor activation, driving calcium release and calcium-mediated signaling.
Reason: Retain as core signaling output because BCR and platelet studies show PLCG2-dependent calcium responses and phosphorylation-dependent activation of PLCG2 upstream of IP3-mediated calcium release (PMID:11043765, PMID:11606584, PMID:12181444).

Summary: PLCG2 contains SH2 domains and is recruited through phosphorylation-dependent binding to receptor/adaptor motifs.
Reason: Retain because PLCG2 recruitment to receptor signaling complexes depends on SH2/phosphotyrosine interactions, including BLNK/BANK1/EAT-2 and receptor-coupled contexts (PMID:11043765, PMID:11606584, PMID:23555801, PMID:24642916).

MODIFY
Summary: PLCG2 hydrolyzes PIP2 rather than synthesizing phosphatidylinositol lipids.
Reason: Modify because phosphatidylinositol biosynthetic process has the wrong direction for PLCG2; the supported biology is phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling through PIP2 hydrolysis to IP3 and DAG (PMID:11043765, PMID:11331309, PMID:12181444).

NAS
PMID:11043765
Regulation of the phospholipase C-gamma2 pathway in B cells.
ACCEPT
Summary: PLCG2 produces IP3 downstream of receptor activation, driving calcium release and calcium-mediated signaling.
Reason: Retain as core signaling output because BCR and platelet studies show PLCG2-dependent calcium responses and phosphorylation-dependent activation of PLCG2 upstream of IP3-mediated calcium release (PMID:11043765, PMID:11606584, PMID:12181444).
GO:0030183 B cell differentiation

GO_REF:0000024
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: This immune-cell process is a plausible downstream or cell-type-specific outcome of PLCG2 receptor signaling.
Reason: Keep as non-core because PLCG2 can regulate B-cell, platelet, NK-cell, myeloid, and microglial responses, but the annotation reflects an effector phenotype downstream of the core PIP2 phospholipase/receptor-proximal signaling mechanism (PMID:11043765, PMID:23555801, PMID:32514138).
GO:0050852 T cell receptor signaling pathway
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: This annotation is plausible for PLCG2 but was not central to the reviewed catalytic/receptor-proximal mechanism.
Reason: Keep as non-core pending deeper evidence review; it is compatible with PLCG2 signaling biology but does not define the core PIP2 phospholipase function.
GO:0050853 B cell receptor signaling pathway
ISS
GO_REF:0000024
ACCEPT
Summary: PLCG2 is a receptor-proximal transducer in immune-receptor pathways, especially BCR, Fc receptor, C-type lectin, and related hematopoietic signaling.
Reason: Retain as core or near-core immune signaling biology because PLCG2 is recruited and activated by receptor-coupled tyrosine kinase/adaptor modules such as Syk, Btk, BLNK, BANK1, FCER/FCGR, and C-type lectin pathways (PMID:11043765, PMID:11606584, PMID:23555801; Reactome PLCG2 events).

Summary: PLCG2 produces IP3 downstream of receptor activation, driving calcium release and calcium-mediated signaling.
Reason: Retain as core signaling output because BCR and platelet studies show PLCG2-dependent calcium responses and phosphorylation-dependent activation of PLCG2 upstream of IP3-mediated calcium release (PMID:11043765, PMID:11606584, PMID:12181444).

Core Functions

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which PLCG2 receptor contexts should be considered core across hematopoietic and microglial biology rather than retained as cell-type-specific downstream processes?

Q: Can full-text evidence for the PMID:32514138 protein tyrosine kinase binding annotation be reviewed to decide whether GO:1990782 should be accepted or replaced by a more specific recruitment term?

Q: Should Reactome PLCG1/PLCG entity-set events that annotate PLCG2 be split or qualified to avoid isoform ambiguity?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure endogenous PLCG2 recruitment, phosphorylation, PIP2 hydrolysis, and calcium output after TREM2, Fc receptor, C-type lectin, and TLR stimulation in primary human microglia or macrophages.

Hypothesis: Endogenous PLCG2 has receptor-context-specific activation kinetics in microglia and macrophages.

Type: primary-cell signaling time course

Experiment: Use PLCG2 SH2-domain and Rac-binding mutants to separate phosphotyrosine-adaptor recruitment from Rac-dependent activation in immune-cell signaling assays.

Hypothesis: SH2-domain recruitment and Rac-dependent activation make separable contributions to PLCG2 signaling output.

Type: mutational structure-function assay

Experiment: Test whether Alzheimer-associated PLCG2 variants alter core PIP2 phospholipase activity, membrane recruitment kinetics, and downstream phagocytosis/lipid-response phenotypes in matched human microglia-like cells.

Hypothesis: Alzheimer-associated PLCG2 variants alter receptor-proximal phospholipase activity and downstream microglial phenotypes.

Type: iPSC-derived microglia variant assay
