Abstract

Following B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) ligation, the cytoplasmic domains of immunoglobulin alpha (Ig alpha) and Ig beta recruit Syk to initiate signaling cascades. The coupling of Syk to several distal substrates requires linker protein BLNK. However, the mechanism by which BLNK is recruited to the BCR is unknown. Using chimeric receptors with wild-type and mutant Ig alpha cytoplasmic tails we show that the non-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) tyrosines, Y176 and Y204, are required to activate BLNK-dependent pathways. Subsequent analysis demonstrated that BLNK bound directly to phospho-Y204 and that fusing BLNK to mutated Ig alpha reconstituted downstream signaling events. Moreover, ligation of the endogenous BCR induced Y204 phosphorylation and BLNK recruitment. These data demonstrate that the non-ITAM tyrosines of Ig alpha couple Syk activation to BLNK-dependent pathways.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
