B lymphocyte antigen receptor signaling: initiation, amplification, and regulation
B lymphocytes and their differentiated daughters are charged with responding to the myriad pathogens in our environment and production of protective antibodies. A sample of the protective antibody produced by each clone is utilized as a component of the cell's antigen receptor (BCR). Transmembrane signals generated upon antigen binding to this receptor provide the primary directive for the cell...
متن کاملVisualizing lipid raft dynamics and early signaling events during antigen receptor-mediated B-lymphocyte activation.
Recent biochemical evidence indicates that an early event in signal transduction by the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) is its translocation to specialized membrane subdomains known as lipid rafts. We have taken a microscopic approach to image lipid rafts and early events associated with BCR signal transduction. Lipid rafts were visualized on primary splenic B lymphocytes from wild-type or anti-h...
متن کاملDifferent patterns of calcium signaling triggered through two components of the B lymphocyte antigen receptor.
The engagement of the B cell antigen receptor is the first step of antigenic stimulation of B lymphocytes. This step is followed by a series of biochemical events, including the activation of protein-tyrosine kinases, phosphoinositide turnover, and multiple patterns of calcium mobilization, which lead to the regulation of gene transcription and cellular responses. The B cell antigen receptor co...
متن کاملIt's all about change: the antigen-driven initiation of B-cell receptor signaling.
B-cell responses are initiated by the binding of foreign antigens to the clonally distributed B-cell receptors (BCRs) resulting in the triggering of signaling cascades that activate a variety of genes associated with B-cell activation. Although we now understand the molecular nature of the signaling pathways in considerable detail what remains only poorly understood are the mechanisms by which ...
متن کاملThe B Lymphocyte Adaptor Molecule of 32 kD (Bam32) Regulates B Cell Antigen Receptor Signaling and Cell Survival
The B lymphocyte-associated adaptor protein 32 kD in size (Bam32) is expressed at high levels in germinal center (GC) B cells. It has an NH(2)-terminal src homology 2 (SH2) domain which binds phospholipase C (PLC)gamma 2, and a COOH-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. Thus, Bam32 may function to integrate protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pat...
