Abstract
Proteinase 3 (PR3) and human neutrophil elastase (HNE) are serine proteinases stored in the azurophilic granules of neutrophils. In contrast to HNE, PR3 is the target of antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA) in Wegener's granulomatosis. The mechanisms leading to the membrane expression of PR3 and HNE are still unclear and appear to be critical to understand the pathophysiological role of ANCA. Stably transfected rat basophilic cell lines (RBL) with PR3 or HNE were used to analyze the PR3 and HNE secretion mechanisms and differentiate between them. RBL cells were lacking endogenous PR3 and HNE. They were stably transfected with HNE or PR3 or an inactive mutant of PR3 (PR3S203A). Using the calcium ionophore A23187 as a secretagogue, higher serine proteinase activity was secreted in the supernatant of RBL/HNE than in RBL/PR3. It is interesting that PR3 and PR3/S203A were also expressed at the plasma membrane, thus demonstrating that serine protease activity was not required for plasma membrane expression. In contrast, no expression of plasma membrane HNE could be detected in RBL/HNE. Apoptosis induced by etoposide was evaluated by DNA fragmentation, the presence of cytoplasmic histone-associated DNA fragments, and annexin V labeling. No membrane HNE was detected in RBL/HNE. In contrast, in RBL/PR3 and in RBL/PR3S203A, the membrane expression of PR3 and PR3S203A increased with etoposide concentrations and appeared closely related to annexin V labeling. Our data suggest that membrane PR3 originates from two distinct pools, the granular pool mobilized following degranulation or a plasma membrane pool mobilized upon apoptosis.

Abstract
Apoptosis or programmed cell death plays an important role in a wide variety of physiologic processes and is regulated by proteins of the Bcl-2 family consisting of both antiapoptotic and proapoptotic factors. The direct involvement of the Bcl-2 protein family in the process of mast cell apoptosis has not been clarified. In the present work we have used a single-chain antibody (scFv) raised against Bcl-2 derived from a semisynthetic human phage-display antibody library. The addition of TAT sequence, which is responsible for translocation through the membrane, endows the anti-Bcl-2-scFv with the ability to penetrate living cells. Moreover, it specifically neutralizes Bcl-2 intracellularly by binding to the BH1 domain and eradicates its antiapoptotic activity in 2 types of mast cells and in a human breast cancer cell line.

Abstract
Crosslinking of multivalent antigen bound IgE transduces FcepsilonRI mediated signaling cascades, which activate nonreceptor-type protein-tyrosine kinases and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, and these are critical elements for degranulation in mast cells. We cloned a novel adaptor molecule, signal transducing adaptor protein (STAP)-2 containing PH and SH2-like domains as a c-fms interacting protein. STAP-2 was identical to a recently cloned adaptor molecule, BKS, a substrate of BRK (breast tumor kinase) tyrosine kinase, although its function is still unknown. To examine a novel function of STAP-2/BSK, we expressed STAP-2/BSK or its mutants in rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells. Overexpression of STAP-2/BSK resulted in a suppression of FcepsilonRI-mediated calcium mobilization and degranulation. FcepsilonRI-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma) but not Syk was significantly suppressed in these cells. Furthermore, STAP-2/BSK associated with PLC-gamma in vivo. These data indicate that STAP-2/BSK negatively controls the FcepsilonRI-mediated calcium mobilization and degranulation by direct modulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma.

Abstract
The store-operated calcium-release-activated calcium current, I (CRAC), is a major mechanism for calcium entry into non-excitable cells. I (CRAC) refills calcium stores and permits sustained calcium signalling. The relationship between inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R)-containing stores and I (CRAC) is not understood. A model of global InsP(3)R store depletion coupling with I (CRAC) activation may be simplistic, since intracellular stores are heterogeneous in their release and refilling activities. Here we use a ligand-gated calcium channel, TRPV1 (transient receptor potential channel, vanilloid subfamily member 1), as a new tool to probe store heterogeneity and define intracellular calcium compartments in a mast cell line. TRPV1 has activity as an intracellular release channel but does not mediate global calcium store depletion and does not invade a store coupled with I (CRAC). Intracellular TRPV1 localizes to a subset of the InsP(3)R-containing stores. TRPV1 sensitivity functionally subdivides the InsP(3)-sensitive store, as does heterogeneity in the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase isoforms responsible for store refilling. These results provide unequivocal evidence that a specific 'CRAC store' exists within the InsP(3)-releasable calcium stores and describe a novel methodology for manipulation of intracellular free calcium.

Abstract
Both known isoforms of phospholipase (PL) D, PLD1 and PLD2, require phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate for activity. However, PLD2 is fully active in the presence of this phospholipid, whereas PLD1 activation is dependent on additional factors such as ADP-ribosylation factor-1 (ARF-1) and protein kinase Calpha. We find that mastoparan, an activator of G(i) and mast cells, stimulates an intrinsic PLD activity, most likely PLD2, in fractions enriched in plasma membranes from rat basophilic leukemia 2H3 mast cells. Overexpression of PLD2, but not of PLD1, results in a large increase in the mastoparan-inducible PLD activity in membrane fractions, particularly those enriched in plasma membranes. As in previous studies, expressed PLD2 is localized primarily in the plasma membrane and PLD1 in granule membranes. Studies with pertussis toxin and other agents indicate that mastoparan stimulates PLD2 independently of G(i), ARF-1, protein kinase C, and calcium. Kinetic studies indicate that mastoparan interacts synergistically with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and that oleate, itself a weak stimulant of PLD2 at low concentrations, is a competitive inhibitor of mastoparan stimulation of PLD2. Therefore, mastoparan may be useful for investigating the regulation of PLD2, particularly in view of the well studied molecular interactions of mastoparan with certain other strategic signaling proteins.

Abstract
Intracellular trafficking of chemokine receptors plays an important role in fine-tuning the functional responses of neutrophils and lymphocytes in the inflammatory process and HIV infection. Although many chemokine receptors internalize through clathrin-coated pits, regulation of the receptor trafficking is not fully understood. The present study demonstrated that CXCR2 was colocalized with transferrin and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) after agonist treatment for different periods of time, suggesting 2 intracellular trafficking pathways for this receptor. CXCR2 was colocalized with Rab5 and Rab11a, which are localized in early and recycling endosomes, respectively, in response to agonist stimulation for a short period of time, suggesting a recycling pathway for the receptor trafficking. However, overexpression of a dominant-negative Rab5-S34N mutant significantly attenuated CXCR2 sequestration. The internalized CXCR2 was recycled back to the cell surface after removal of the agonist and recovery of the cells, but receptor recycling was inhibited by overexpression of a dominant-negative Rab11a-S25N mutant. After prolonged (4-hour) agonist treatment, CXCR2 exhibited significantly increased colocalization with Rab7, which is localized in late endosomes. The colocalization of CXCR2 with LDL and LAMP-1 suggests that CXCR2 is targeted to lysosomes for degradation after prolonged ligand treatment. However, the colocalization of CXCR2 with Lamp1 was blocked by the overexpression of a dominant-negative Rab7-T22N mutant. In cells overexpressing Rab7-T22N, CXCR2 was retained in the Rab5- and Rab11a-positive endosomes after prolonged (4-hour) agonist treatment. Our data suggest that the intracellular trafficking of CXCR2 is differentially regulated by Rab proteins.

Abstract
The synthesis of platelet-activating factor (PAF) by -stimulated RBL-2H3 cells was significantly suppressed by overexpression of phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx). When the cells overexpressing PHGPx (L9 cells) were pretreated with diethyl maleate, which reduces PHGPx activity, PAF synthesis upon stimulation rose to levels seen in mock-transfected cells (S1 cells). Hydroperoxide levels, which are reduced in L9 cells, are involved in regulating PAF synthesis, because the addition of hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid increased PAF production in -stimulated L9 cells to control cell levels. The activity of acetyl-CoA:1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acetyltransferase, which is involved in the last step of PAF synthesis, is also reduced in L9 cells. p38 kinase inhibitors block acetyltransferase activity in normal -stimulated cells, suggesting that p38 kinase is involved in regulating acetyltransferase activity. Recombinant active p38 kinase activates acetyltransferase, whereas alkaline phosphatase reverses this, suggesting p38 kinase directly phosphorylates acetyltransferase. p38 kinase phosphorylation is blocked in L9 cells, indicating that high hydroperoxide levels are needed for the activation of p38 kinase. Thus, intracellular hydroperoxide levels participate in regulating p38 kinase phosphorylation, which in turn controls the activation of acetyltransferase and thus the synthesis of PAF. These observations suggest that PHGPx is an important component of the mechanisms regulating inflammation.

Abstract
Engagement of the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI) on mast cells and basophils results in FcepsilonRI beta and gamma subunits ubiquitination by an as yet undefined mechanism. Here we show that, upon FcepsilonRI engagement on RBL-2H3 cells Syk undergoes ubiquitination and Syk kinase activity is required for its own ubiquitination and that of FcepsilonRI beta and gamma chains. This requirement was demonstrated by overexpression of Syk wild-type or its kinase-dead mutant in RBL cells or using an Syk-deficient RBL-derived cell line transfected with wild-type or a kinase inactive form of Syk. We also identify c-Cbl as the E3 ligase responsible for both Syk and receptor ubiquitination. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Syk controls tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk-associated Cbl induced after receptor engagement. These data suggest a mutual regulation between Syk and Cbl activities. Finally, we show that a selective inhibitor of proteasome degradation induces persistence of tyrosine-phosphorylated receptor complexes, of activated Syk, and of FcepsilonRI-triggered degranulation. Our results provide a molecular mechanism for down-regulation of engaged receptor complexes by targeting ubiquitinated FcepsilonRI and activated Syk to the proteasome for degradation.

Abstract
We previously showed that silver stimulates degranulation and leukotriene (LT) C(4) production in rat basophilic leukemia mast cells and now show that silver induces these events by a mechanism that differs from the FcepsilonRI-mediated response. In common with FcepsilonRI cross-linking, silver induced tyrosine phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases and furthermore, PD98059, a specific inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase dose-dependently inhibited the silver-induced LTC(4) production. In contrast to FcepsilonRI cross-linking, silver had no effect on the production of IL-4 and TNF-alpha, indicating that different mechanisms are involved in the activation by these two stimuli. In line with this, silver had no or only marginal effect on the tyrosine phosphorylation of FcepsilonRIbeta, Lyn, Syk, and linker for activation of T cells, the early and crucial events in FcepsilonRI signaling. Silver induced calcium signals that were involved in the metal-induced degranulation, but not LTC(4) production. Unlike Ag, the silver-induced calcium signals were resistant to the depletion of thapsigargin-sensitive calcium stores and the inhibition of tyrosine kinases and phospholipase Cgamma. These findings indicate that silver activates mast cells by bypassing the early signaling events required for the induction of calcium influx. Our data strongly suggest the existence of an alternative pathway bypassing the early signaling events in mast cell activation and indicate that silver may be useful for analyses of such alternative mechanisms.

Abstract
In non-excitable cells, the major Ca(2+) influx pathway is the store-operated one. Store-operated Ca(2+) entry is intimately related to the prevalent membrane potential, in that hyperpolarisation enhances Ca(2+) influx and depolarisation reduces it. Inwardly rectifying potassium channels are important determinants of the membrane potential and hence will regulate, indirectly, the rate and extent of Ca(2+) entry through store-operated channels. Here we investigated inwardly rectifying potassium currents ( I(RK)) in rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL-1) cells, a model system for studying store-operated Ca(2+) influx. I(RK) was voltage dependent in that the current decays during strong hyperpolarisations. Recovery from this decay was both time and voltage dependent. Close to the resting potential of RBL-1 cells, however, I(RK) was stable. Neither store depletion per se nor the subsequent rise in intracellular [Ca(2+)] appeared to alter I(RK) activity. Receptor stimulation reduced the current only weakly. Unexpectedly, intracellular spermine inhibited I(RK) quite strongly and via a mechanism that seemed distinct from that responsible for current rectification. The relevance of these findings to store-operated Ca(2+) influx is discussed.

Abstract
Stimulus-induced secretion of bioactive polypeptides is a fundamental aspect of the immune system. Secretory proteins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and are transported through the Golgi apparatus to the trans-Golgi network, where they are sorted into transport vesicles that bud off and fuse into condensing vacuoles, which subsequently undergo an editing and concentration process to become mature secretory vesicles. In this study, we report that the PTP-MEG2 protein tyrosine phosphatase is located on these vesicles in mast cells. Expression of PTP-MEG2 caused a striking enlargement of these vesicles in both rat basophilic leukemia mast cells and Jurkat T leukemia cells into giant vesicles with diameters of up to several micrometers. The fused vesicles did not acquire markers for other compartments and were adjacent to the trans-Golgi network, contained carboxypeptidase E, chromogranin C, and IL-2, and had an electron-dense core typical of secretory vesicles. Expression of PTP-MEG2 also caused a reduction in the secretion of IL-2 from stimulated Jurkat cells. The effects of PTP-MEG2 on secretory vesicles required the catalytic activity of PTP-MEG2 and was rapidly reversed by pervanadate. We propose that PTP-MEG2 represents a novel connection between tyrosine dephosphorylation and the regulation of secretory vesicles in hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
IgE plays a central role in allergic reactions. Some anti-IgE antibodies (HMK-12, 6HD5) inhibit the binding of IgE to the FcepsilonRI of mast cells/basophilic leukemia cells (PT-18, RBL/2H3), but less inhibition is seen with the anti-allotypic JKS-6 and the anti-idiotypic Eb-1. Anti-IgE HMK-12 can detach bound IgE molecules from the FcepsilonRI. When mast cells or basophils were incubated with monoclonal anti-DNP-IgE SPE-7, washed and treated with anti-IgE HMK-12, anti-IgE/IgE complexes were found in the supernatant. Similar results were obtained with the Fab fragment of HMK-12. Mice injected with anti-DNP-IgE SPE-7 and later with DNP-BSA had the typical systemic anaphylactic shock. However, if they were injected with the anti-IgE antibody (HMK-12) before the challenge, they did not get an anaphylactic shock. In the sera of mice injected with monoclonal IgE SPE-7 and anti-IgE antibody (HMK-12), IgE/anti-IgE complexes were detected. No passive cutaneous anaphylaxis occurred if the rats were injected with anti-IgE antibodies before the challenge. In summary, anti-IgE antibodies can remove IgE antibodies from the FcepsilonRI; anti-IgE/IgE complexes can be detected in vitro and in vivo, and anti-IgE antibodies can inhibit IgE-mediated systemic or local anaphylactic reactions.

Abstract
Like voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels, store-operated CRAC channels become permeable to monovalent cations in the absence of external divalent cations. Using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique, we have characterized the permeation and selectivity properties of store-operated channels in the rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cell line. Store depletion by dialysis with InsP(3) and 10 mM EGTA resulted in the rapid development of large inward currents in Na(+)- and Li(+)-based divalent-free solutions. Cs(+) permeated the channels poorly (P(Cs)/ P(Na)=0.01). Trimethylamine (TMA(+)), tetramethylammonium (TeMA(+)), tetraethylammonium (TEA(+)), N-methyl- D-glucamine (NMDG(+)) and TRIS(+) were not measurably permeant. NH(4)(+) was conducted well. We estimated the minimum pore diameter under divalent-free conditions to be between 0.32 nm and 0.55 nm. When cells were dialysed with buffered Ca(2+) solution and I(CRAC) activated by application of thapsigargin, P(Cs)/ P(Na) was still low (0.08). Outward currents through CRAC channels were carried by intracellular Na(+), K(+) and, to a much lesser extent, by Cs(+). Currents were unaffected by dialysis with Mg(2+)-free solution. The Na(+) current was inhibited by external Ca(2+) (half-maximal blocking concentration of 10 microM). This Ca(2+)-dependent block could be alleviated by hyperpolarization. The monovalent Na(+) current was voltage dependent, increasing as the holding potential depolarized above 0 mV. Our results suggest that CRAC channels in RBL-1 cells have a smaller pore diameter than voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels, discriminate between Group I cations, and differ markedly in their selectivity from CRAC channels reported in lymphocytes.

Abstract
The ligand-induced trafficking of chemokine receptors plays a significant role in the regulation of inflammatory processes and human immunodeficiency infection. Although many chemokine receptors have been demonstrated to internalize through clathrin-coated vesicles, a process that involves the binding of arrestins to the receptors, accumulating evidence has suggested the possible existence of other regulators. In a yeast two-hybrid screening using the C-terminal domain of CXCR2 as a bait, the Hsc70-interacting protein (Hip) was identified to interact with CXCR2. Hip binds CXCR2 through its C-terminal domain binding to the C-terminal leucine-rich domain (KILAIHGLI) of CXCR2. Hip associates with CXCR2 or CXCR4 in intact cells, and agonist stimulation increases the association. Mutation of the Ile-Leu motif in the C-terminal domain of CXCR2 blocks the agonist-dependent association of the mutant receptor with Hip. Overexpression of a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) deletion mutant form of Hip (Delta TPR), which is unable to bind Hsc70 (Prapapanich, V., Chen, S., Nair, S. C., Rimerman, R. A., and Smith, D. F. (1996) Mol. Endocrinol. 10, 420-431), but retains the ability to bind CXCR2, does not affect CXCR2-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. However, overexpression of Delta TPR significantly attenuates the agonist-induced internalization of CXCR2 and CXCR4 and attenuates CXCR2-mediated chemotaxis. These findings open the possibility for regulation of chemokine receptor signaling and trafficking by protein chaperone molecules.

Abstract
In Xenopus laevis, several distinct K(+)-channels (xKv1.1, xKv1.2, xKv2,1, xKv2.2, xKv3.1) have been cloned, sequenced, and electrophysiologically characterized. K(+)-channels significantly shape neuronal excitability by setting the membrane potential, and latency and duration of action potentials. We identified a further Shaker homologue, xKv1.4, in X. laevis. The open reading frame encodes a K(+)-channel that shares 72% of its 698 amino acids with the human Shaker homologue, hKv1.4. Northern blot analysis revealed xKv1.4 in the brain, muscle, and spleen but not in the ovary, intestine, heart, liver, kidney, lung, and skin. Whole-cell patch clamp recording from rat basophilic leukaemia (RBL) cells transfected with xKv1.4 revealed a voltage-gated, outward rectifying, transient A-type, K(+) selective current. xKv1.4 was strongly dependent on extracellular K(+). Exposure of cells to K(+) free bath solution almost completely abolished the current, whereas in the presence of high K(+), inactivation in response to a maintained depolarizing step and the frequency-dependent cumulative inactivation decreased. Ion channels encoded by xKv1.4 are sensitive to 4-aminopyridine and quinidine but insensitive to tetraethylammonium and the peptide toxins, charybdotoxin, margatoxin, and dendrotoxin. In conclusion, our results indicate that the biophysical and pharmacological signature of xKv1.4 closely resemble those of the A-current described in Xenopus embryonic neurons and is similar to the human Shaker homologue, hKv1.4.

Abstract
The function of urokinase and its receptor is essential for cell migration in pathological conditions, as shown by the analysis of knockout mice phenotypes. How a protease of a fibrinolytic pathway can induce migration is not understood and no link between this protease and migration-promoting G protein-coupled receptors has been described. We now show that FPRL1/LXA4R, a G protein-coupled receptor for a number of polypeptides and for the endogenous lipoxin A4 (LXA4), is the link between urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and migration as it directly interacts with an activated, soluble, cleaved form of uPA receptor (uPAR) (D2D3(88-274)) to induce chemotaxis. In this article we show that (i) both uPAR and FPRL1/LXA4R are necessary for the chemotactic activity of uPA whereas FPRL1/LXA4R is sufficient to mediate D2D3(88-274)-induced cell migration. (ii) Inhibition or desensitization of FPRL1/LXA4R by antibodies or specific ligands specifically prevents chemotaxis induced by D2D3(88-274) in THP-1 cells and human peripheral blood monocytes. (iii) Desensitization of FPRL1/LXA4R prevents the activation of tyrosine kinase Hck induced by D2D3(88-274). (iv) D2D3(88-274) directly binds to FPRL1/LXA4R and is competed by two specific FPRL1/LXA4R agonists, the synthetic MMK-1 peptide and a stable analog of LXA4. Thus, a naturally produced cleaved form of uPAR is a unique endogenous chemotactic agonist for FPRL1/LXA4R receptor and its activity can be antagonized by specific ligands. These results provide the first direct link, to our knowledge, between the fibrinolytic machinery and the inflammatory response, demonstrating that uPA-derived peptide fragments can activate a specific chemotactic receptor.

Abstract
Capacitative calcium entry (CCE) has been described in a variety of cell types. To date, little is known about its role in the CNS, and in particular in the cross-talk between glia and neurons. We have first analyzed the properties of CCE of astrocytes in culture, in comparison with that of the rat basophilic leukemia cell line (RBL-2H3), a model where calcium release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels have been unambiguously correlated with CCE. We here show that (i) in astrocytes CCE activated by store depletion and Ca2+ influx induced by glutamate share the same pharmacological profile of CCE in RBL-2H3 cells and (ii) glutamate-induced Ca2+ influx in astrocytes plays a primary role in glutamate-dependent intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) oscillations, being these latter reduced in frequency and amplitude by micromolar concentrations of La3+. Finally, we compared the expression of various mammalian transient receptor potential genes (TRP) in astrocytes and RBL-2H3 cells. Despite the similar pharmacological properties of CCE in these cells, the pattern of TRP expression is very different. The involvement of CCE and TRPs in glutamate dependent activation of astrocytes is discussed.

Abstract
In mast cells, cross-linking the high-affinity IgE receptor (Fc(epsilon)RI) initiates the Lyn-mediated phosphorylation of receptor ITAMs, forming phospho-ITAM binding sites for Syk. Previous immunogold labeling of membrane sheets showed that resting Fc(epsilon)RI colocalize loosely with Lyn, whereas cross-linked Fc(epsilon)RI redistribute into specialized domains (osmiophilic patches) that exclude Lyn, accumulate Syk, and are often bordered by coated pits. Here, the distribution of Fc(epsilon)RI beta is mapped relative to linker for activation of T cells (LAT), Grb2-binding protein 2 (Gab2), two PLCgamma isoforms, and the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), all implicated in the remodeling of membrane inositol phospholipids. Before activation, PLCgamma1 and Gab2 are not strongly membrane associated, LAT occurs in small membrane clusters separate from receptor, and PLCgamma2, that coprecipitates with LAT, occurs in clusters and along cytoskeletal cables. After activation, PLCgamma2, Gab2, and a portion of p85 colocalize with Fc(epsilon)RI beta in osmiophilic patches. LAT clusters enlarge within 30 s of receptor activation, forming elongated complexes that can intersect osmiophilic patches without mixing. PLCgamma1 and another portion of p85 associate preferentially with activated LAT. Supporting multiple distributions of PI3-kinase, Fc(epsilon)RI cross-linking increases PI3-kinase activity in anti-LAT, anti-Fc(epsilon)RIbeta, and anti-Gab2 immune complexes. We propose that activated mast cells propagate signals from primary domains organized around Fc(epsilon)RIbeta and from secondary domains, including one organized around LAT.

Abstract
Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) is an animal model for inflammatory reactions in Type I allergy. An in vitro assay based on IgE dependent and allergen-induced mediator release of RBL-2H3 cells is presented as an alternative for PCA. The assay has been adopted to the special needs of examining allergen extracts and has been proven to be practicable and reliable. A high number of samples can be processed quickly in one assay, with intra-assay variations below 10%. The first successful applications are the measurement of biologic potencies in allergenic extracts and the determination of murine serum IgE antibodies. Further studies will show whether this assay is suited to evaluate the efficiency of anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic drugs.

Abstract
In the context of cell signaling, kinetic proofreading was introduced to explain how cells can discriminate among ligands based on a kinetic parameter, the ligand-receptor dissociation rate constant. In the kinetic proofreading model of cell signaling, responses occur only when a bound receptor undergoes a complete series of modifications. If the ligand dissociates prematurely, the receptor returns to its basal state and signaling is frustrated. We extend the model to deal with systems where aggregation of receptors is essential to signal transduction, and present a version of the model for systems where signaling depends on an extrinsic kinase. We also investigate the kinetics of signaling molecules, "messengers," that are generated by aggregated receptors but do not remain associated with the receptor complex. We show that the extended model predicts modes of signaling that exhibit kinetic discrimination for some range of parameters but for other parameter values show little or no discrimination and thus escape kinetic proofreading. We compare model predictions with experimental data.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, activation of cell surface receptors that couple to the phosphoinositide pathway evokes a biphasic increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration: an initial transient phase reflecting Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, followed by a plateau phase due to Ca2+ influx. A major component of this Ca2+ influx is store-dependent and often can be measured directly as the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ current (I(CRAC)). Under physiological conditions of weak intracellular Ca2+ buffering, respiring mitochondria play a central role in store-operated Ca2+ influx. They determine whether macroscopic I(CRAC) activates or not, to what extent and for how long. Here we describe an additional role for energized mitochondria: they reduce the amount of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) that is required to activate I(CRAC). By increasing the sensitivity of store-operated influx to InsP3, respiring mitochondria will determine whether modest levels of stimulation are capable of evoking Ca2+ entry or not. Mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering therefore increases the dynamic range of concentrations over which the InsP3 is able to function as the physiological messenger that triggers the activation of store-operated Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
In electrically non-excitable cells, Ca2+ entry is mediated predominantly through the store-operated Ca2+ influx pathway, which is activated by emptying the intracellular Ca2+ stores following an increase in the levels of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphophate (InsP3). InsP3 is generated from the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Recently, roles for other phosphoinositides (PIs) in store-operated Ca2+ influx have been suggested because inhibitors of PI kinases reduce Ca2+ influx when the latter is triggered independent of PIP2 hydrolysis. Using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique to record the store-operated Ca2+ current ICRAC in RBL-1 cells, we examined whether PIs are involved in linking store depletion to activation of CRAC channels. Of several structurally distinct PI kinase inhibitors, only one (LY294002) was able to reduce partially the extent of activation of ICRAC although this could not be reversed by exogenous phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). Our findings suggest that, if a PI kinase is involved in activation of ICRAC in RBL-1 cells, it has a unique pharmacological profile. Alternative explanations for the results are discussed.

Abstract
When multivalent ligands attach to IgEs bound to the receptors with high affinity for IgE on mast cells, the receptors aggregate, tyrosines on the receptors become phosphorylated, and a variety of cellular responses are stimulated. Prior studies, confirmed here, demonstrated that the efficiency with which later events are generated from earlier ones is inversely related to the dissociation rate of the aggregating ligand. This finding suggests that the cellular responses are constrained by a "kinetic proofreading" regimen. We have now observed an apparent exception to this rule. Doses of the rapidly or slowly dissociating ligands that generated equivalent levels of tyrosine-phosphorylated receptors comparably stimulated a putatively distal event: transcription of the gene for monocyte chemoattractant protein 1. Possible explanations of this apparent anomaly were explored.

Abstract
We investigated the putative roles of phospholipase C, polyphosphoinositides, and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) in capacitative calcium entry and calcium release-activated calcium current (I(crac)) in lacrimal acinar cells, rat basophilic leukemia cells, and DT40 B-lymphocytes. Inhibition of phospholipase C with blocked calcium entry and I(crac) activation whether in response to a phospholipase C-coupled agonist or to calcium store depletion with thapsigargin. Run-down of cellular polyphosphoinositides by concentrations of wortmannin that block phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase completely blocked calcium entry and I(crac). The membrane-permeant IP(3) receptor inhibitor, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane, blocked both capacitative calcium entry and I(crac). However, it is likely that 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borane does not inhibit through an action on the IP(3) receptor because the drug was equally effective in wild-type DT40 B-cells and in DT40 B-cells whose genes for all three IP(3) receptors had been disrupted. Intracellular application of another potent IP(3) receptor antagonist, heparin, failed to inhibit activation of I(crac). Finally, the inhibition of I(crac) activation by or wortmannin was not reversed or prevented by direct intracellular application of IP(3). These findings indicate a requirement for phospholipase C and for polyphosphoinositides for activation of capacitative calcium entry. However, the results call into question the previously suggested roles of IP(3) and IP(3) receptor in this mechanism, at least in these particular cell types.

Abstract
Agonist-receptor interactions at the plasma membrane often lead to activation of store-operated channels (SOCs) in the plasma membrane, allowing for sustained Ca(2+) influx. While Ca(2+) influx is important for many biological processes, little is known about the types of SOCs, the nature of the depletion signal, or how the SOCs are activated. We recently showed that in addition to the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel, both Jurkat T cells and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells express novel store-operated nonselective cation channels that we termed Ca(2+) release-activated nonselective cation (CRANC) channels. Here we demonstrate that activation of both CRAC and CRANC channels is accelerated by a soluble Ca(2+) influx factor (CIF). In addition, CRANC channels in inside-out plasma membrane patches are directly activated upon exposure of their cytoplasmic side to highly purified CIF preparations. Furthermore, CRANC channels are also directly activated by diacylglycerol. These results strongly suggest that the Ca(2+) store-depletion signal is a diffusible molecule and that at least some SOCs may have dual activation mechanisms.
