Internalization of B cell and pre‐B cell receptors is regulated by tyrosine kinase and phosphatase activities

Abstract: Prior to the expression of the B cell antigen receptor, the mu heavy chain associates with two non-polymorphic polypeptides, lambda like and VpreB, which form a pseudo-light chain complex in pre-B cells and pre-B cell lines. Surface expression of the so-called pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) occurs only in the presence of Ig alpha and Ig beta, known to be involved both in B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling and trafficking. Although the pre-BCR organization is consistent with an efficient transport to the ce… Show more

“…Despite a critical role of ITAMs of Ig␣ and Ig␤ in BCR signaling (3), the role of ITAMs in BCR internalization is controversial (4). However, activation of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) 3 is required for BCR internalization (5,6). Moreover, Src family PTKs, which are activated after BCR cross-linking, play a crucial role in BCR internalization (7)(8)(9), suggesting that BCR internalization is controlled by certain substrates phosphorylated by Src family PTKs.…”

“…Salamero et al (13) demonstrated that only 2% of newly synthesized pre-BCR reached the cell surface in the human pre-B cell line, Nalm-6; the majority of pre-BCR remained in the cytoplasm. All published results indicate that there is relatively less pre-BCR expression on the surfaces of cell lines and normal pre-B cells.…”

“…They have been mainly associated with the signal transduction pathway [20], but very recently their possible roles in antigen internalization and processing have been addressed in several studies. Some of these studies indicate that the heterodimer does indeed have a function in endocytosis of mIg [21][22][23], whereas others [24,25] found that internalization of mIg is independent from Ig-a/b. However, Weiser et al [24] transfected IgG2a into an mIg -cell line.…”

“…Our own results indicate that these findings may not be contradictory. Since endocytosis is dependent on phosphorylation and dephosphorylation activities [23,26], the function of Ig-a and Ig-b could be the independent linkage to src family and syk tyrosine kinases that induce internalization and signal transduction. The interaction of mIg molecules with the cytoskeleton is probably mediated by other, yet unknown, proteins.…”
