Abstract
The two members of the UBASH3/TULA/STS-protein family have been shown to critically regulate cellular processes in multiple biological systems. The regulatory function of TULA-2 (also known as UBASH3B or STS-1) in platelets is one of the best examples of the involvement of UBASH3/TULA/STS proteins in cellular regulation. TULA-2 negatively regulates platelet signaling mediated by ITAM- and hemITAM-containing membrane receptors that are dependent on the protein tyrosine kinase Syk, which currently represents the best-known dephosphorylation target of TULA-2. The biological responses of platelets to collagen and other physiological agonists are significantly downregulated as a result. The protein structure, enzymatic activity and regulatory functions of UBASH3/TULA/STS proteins in the context of platelet responses and their regulation are discussed in this review.

Three phlorotannins from Sargassum carpophyllum are effective against the secretion of allergic mediators from antigen-stimulated rat basophilic leukemia cells. Food Chem 2022; 377:131992.

Abstract
Sargassum carpophyllum (Sargassaceae) is a brown seaweed that contains phlorotannins, which are phloroglucinol polymers with reported anti-inflammatory activities. The phlorotannins 2-[2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy)-3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy]-1,3,5-benzenetriol (1), 2,2'-[[2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy)-5-hydroxy-1,3-phenylene]bis(oxy)]bis(1,3,5-benzenetriol) (2), and 2-[2-[4-[2-(3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy)-3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy]-3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy]-3,5-dihydroxyphenoxy]-1,3,5-benzenetriol (3) were isolated from S. carpophyllum. Here, we evaluated the anti-allergic activities of these compounds and comprehensively explored their effects on intracellular protein levels. Immunoglobulin E-sensitized rat basophilic leukemia cells pretreated with any of these three compounds exhibited reduced β-hexosaminidase, prostaglandin D2, and tumor necrosis factor-α secretion compared with dinitrophenyl-human serum albumin (DNP-HSA)-stimulated cells. Reduction of β-hexosaminidase release was dose-dependent but the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations of the compounds were similar (36-51 μM). Proteomics analysis revealed that the three compounds up-regulated 25 proteins and down-regulated 33 proteins compared with DNP-HSA stimulation alone, and slightly suppressed proteasome 5 expression linked to the regulation of IκB. These results demonstrate that these phlorotannins are potentially useful for preventing immediate hypersensitivity. S. carpophyllum may be a functional food.

Abstract
Intestinal fungi are critical for modulating host immune homeostasis and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We show that dendritic cell (DC)-specific deficiency of casitas B-lineage lymphoma (c-Cbl) renders mice susceptible to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. Mechanistically, we identify that c-Cbl functions downstream of Dectin-2 and Dectin-3 to mediate the ubiquitination and degradation of noncanonical nuclear factor κB subunit RelB. Thus, c-Cbl deficiency in DCs promotes α-mannan-induced activation of RelB, which suppresses p65-mediated transcription of an anti-inflammatory cytokine gene, il10, thereby aggravating DSS-induced colitis. Moreover, suppressing fungal growth with fluconazole or inhibition of RelB activation in vivo attenuates colitis in mice with DC-specific deletion of c-Cbl. We also demonstrate an interaction between c-Cbl and c-Abl tyrosine kinase and find that treatment with DPH, a c-Abl agonist, synergistically increases fungi-induced c-Cbl activation to restrict colitis. Together, these findings unravel a previously unidentified fungi-induced c-Cbl/RelB axis that sustains intestinal homeostasis and protects against intestinal inflammation.

FcεRI Signaling in the Modulation of Allergic Response: Role of Mast Cell-Derived Exosomes. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21155464.

Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) are immune cells that act as environment resident sentinels playing a crucial role in Th2-mediated immune responses, including allergic reactions. Distinguishing features of MCs are the presence of numerous cytoplasmic granules that encapsulate a wide array of preformed bio-active molecules and the constitutive expression of the high affinity receptor of IgE (FcεRI). Upon FcεRI engagement by means of IgE and multivalent antigens, aggregated receptors trigger biochemical pathways that ultimately lead to the release of granule-stored and newly synthesized pro-inflammatory mediators. Additionally, MCs are also able to release exosomes either constitutively or upon stimulation. Exosomes are nanosized vesicles of endocytic origin endowed with important immunoregulatory properties, and represent an additional way of intercellular communication. Interestingly, exosomes generated upon FcεRI engagement contain co-stimulatory and adhesion molecules, lipid mediators, and MC-specific proteases, as well as receptor subunits together with IgE and antigens. These findings support the notion that FcεRI signaling plays an important role in influencing the composition and functions of exosomes derived by MCs depending on their activation status.

Abstract
Many receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs, such as EGFR, MET) are negatively regulated by ubiquitination and degradation mediated by Cbl proteins, a family of RING finger (RF) ubiquitin ligases (E3s). Loss of Cbl protein function is associated with malignant transformation driven by increased RTK activity. RF E3s, such as the Cbl proteins, interact with a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) to confer specificity to the ubiquitination process and direct the transfer of ubiquitin from the E2 to one or more lysines on the target proteins. Using in vitro E3 assays and yeast two-hybrid screens, we found that Ube2d, Ube2e families, Ube2n/2v1, and Ube2w catalyze autoubiquitination of the Cbl protein and Ube2d2, Ube2e1, and Ube 2n/2v1 catalyze Cbl-mediated substrate ubiquitination of the EGFR and SYK. Phosphorylation of the Cbl protein by by Src resulted in increased E3 activity compared to unphosphorylated cbl or Cbl containing a phosphomimetic Y371E mutation. Ubiquitin chain formation depended on the E2 tested with Cbl with Ube2d2 forming both K48 and K63 linked chains, Ube2n/2v1 forming only K63 linked chains, and Ube2w inducing monoubiquitination. In cells, the Ube2d family, Ube2e family, and Ube2n/2v1 contributed to EGFR ubiquitination. Our data suggest that multiple E2s can interact with Cbl and modulate its E3 activity in vitro and in cells.

Abstract
Binding of antigen to IgE-high affinity FcεRI complexes on mast cells and basophils results in the release of preformed mediators such as histamine and de novo synthesis of cytokines causing allergic reactions. Src-like adapter protein (SLAP) functions co-operatively with c-Cbl to negatively regulate signaling downstream of the T cell receptor, B cell receptor, and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). Here, we investigated the role of SLAP in FcεRI-mediated mast cell signaling, using bone marrow derived mast cells (BMMCs) from SLAP knock out (SLAP KO) mice. Mature SLAP-KO BMMCs displayed significantly enhanced antigen induced degranulation and synthesis of IL-6, TNFα, and MCP-1 compared to wild type (WT) BMMCs. In addition, SLAP KO mice displayed an enhanced passive cutaneous anaphylaxis response. In agreement with a negative regulatory role, SLAP KO BMMCs showed enhanced FcεRI-mediated signaling to downstream effector kinases, Syk, Erk, and Akt. Recombinant GST-SLAP protein binds to the FcεRIβ chain and to the Cbl-b in mast cell lysates, suggesting a role in FcεRI down regulation. In addition, the ubiquitination of FcεRIγ chain and antigen mediated down regulation of FcεRI is impaired in SLAP KO BMMCs compared to the wild type. In line with these findings, stimulation of peripheral blood human basophils with FcεRIα antibody, or a clinically relevant allergen, resulted in increased SLAP expression. Together, these results indicate that SLAP is a dynamic regulator of IgE-FcεRI signaling, limiting allergic responses.

Abstract
The innate immune cells sense microbial infection and self-ligands by pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) and regulatory receptors (RRs), associated with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). Rapid activation and concerted action of PRRs signaling and feedback inhibitory mechanisms must be engaged to ensure the host defense functions and to prevent cytotoxicity associated with excessive activation. ITAM-associated RRs can generate stimulatory or, paradoxically, inhibitory signals. The network of ITAM-associated RR, together with TLR-signaling pathways, are responsible for immunogenic or tolerogenic responses of macrophages and dendritic cells to their microenvironment. In macrophages, TLR4 signaling is inhibited by low-avidity ligation of ITAM-associated receptors, while high-avidity ligation of ITAM-associated receptors results in potentiation of TLR4 signaling together with resistance to extracellular cytokine microenvironment signals. In contrast to macrophages, TLR7/9 signaling in plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) is inhibited by high-avidity ligation of ITAM-associated RR, while low-avidity ligation does not show any effect. Surprisingly, interference of ITAM-associated receptor signaling with TLR pathways has not been reported in conventional dendritic cells. Here, we present an overview of molecular mechanisms acting at the crossroads of TLR and ITAM-signaling pathways and address the question of how the high-avidity engagement of the ITAM-associated receptors in pDCs inhibits TLR7/9 signaling. Cellular context and spatiotemporal engagement of ITAM- and TLR-signaling pathways are responsible for different outcomes of macrophage versus pDC activation. While the cross-regulation of cytokine and TLR signaling, together with antigen presentation, are the principal functions of ITAM-associated RR in macrophages, the major role of these receptors in pDCs seems to be related to inhibition of cytokine production and reestablishment of a tolerogenic state following pDC activation. Pharmacologic targeting of TLR and ITAM signaling could be an attractive new therapeutic approach for treatment of chronic infections, cancer, and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases related to pDCs.

Abstract
Aggregation of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI) in mast cells initiates activation events that lead to degranulation and release of inflammatory mediators. To better understand the signaling pathways and genes involved in mast cell activation, we developed a high-throughput mast cell degranulation assay suitable for RNA interference experiments using lentivirus-based short hairpin RNA (shRNA) delivery. We tested 432 shRNAs specific for 144 selected genes for effects on FcεRI-mediated mast cell degranulation and identified 15 potential regulators. In further studies, we focused on galectin-3 (Gal3), identified in this study as a negative regulator of mast cell degranulation. FcεRI-activated cells with Gal3 knockdown exhibited upregulated tyrosine phosphorylation of spleen tyrosine kinase and several other signal transduction molecules and enhanced calcium response. We show that Gal3 promotes internalization of IgE-FcεRI complexes; this may be related to our finding that Gal3 is a positive regulator of FcεRI ubiquitination. Furthermore, we found that Gal3 facilitates mast cell adhesion and motility on fibronectin but negatively regulates antigen-induced chemotaxis. The combined data indicate that Gal3 is involved in both positive and negative regulation of FcεRI-mediated signaling events in mast cells.

Abstract
We present a data-driven mathematical model of a key initiating step in platelet activation, a central process in the prevention of bleeding following Injury. In vascular disease, this process is activated inappropriately and causes thrombosis, heart attacks and stroke. The collagen receptor GPVI is the primary trigger for platelet activation at sites of injury. Understanding the complex molecular mechanisms initiated by this receptor is important for development of more effective antithrombotic medicines. In this work we developed a series of nonlinear ordinary differential equation models that are direct representations of biological hypotheses surrounding the initial steps in GPVI-stimulated signal transduction. At each stage model simulations were compared to our own quantitative, high-temporal experimental data that guides further experimental design, data collection and model refinement. Much is known about the linear forward reactions within platelet signalling pathways but knowledge of the roles of putative reverse reactions are poorly understood. An initial model, that includes a simple constitutively active phosphatase, was unable to explain experimental data. Model revisions, incorporating a complex pathway of interactions (and specifically the phosphatase TULA-2), provided a good description of the experimental data both based on observations of phosphorylation in samples from one donor and in those of a wider population. Our model was used to investigate the levels of proteins involved in regulating the pathway and the effect of low GPVI levels that have been associated with disease. Results indicate a clear separation in healthy and GPVI deficient states in respect of the signalling cascade dynamics associated with Syk tyrosine phosphorylation and activation. Our approach reveals the central importance of this negative feedback pathway that results in the temporal regulation of a specific class of protein tyrosine phosphatases in controlling the rate, and therefore extent, of GPVI-stimulated platelet activation.

Abstract
Mast cells are critical in the pathogenesis of allergic disease due to the release of preformed and newly synthesized mediators, yet the mechanisms controlling mast cell activation are not well understood. Members of the tetraspanin family are recently emerging as modulators of FcεRI-mediated mast cell activation; however, mechanistic understanding of their function is currently lacking. The tetraspanin CD151 is a poorly understood member of this family and is specifically induced on mouse and human mast cells upon FcεRI aggregation but its functional effects are unknown. In this study, we show that CD151 deficiency significantly exacerbates the IgE-mediated late phase inflammation in a murine model of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Ex vivo, FcεRI stimulation of bone marrow-derived mast cells from CD151(-/-) mice resulted in significantly enhanced expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-4, IL-13, and TNF-α compared with wild-type controls. However, FcεRI-induced mast cell degranulation was unaffected. At the molecular signaling level, CD151 selectively regulated IgE-induced activation of ERK1/2 and PI3K, associated with cytokine production, but had no effect on the phospholipase Cγ1 signaling, associated with degranulation. Collectively, our data indicate that CD151 exerts negative regulation over IgE-induced late phase responses and cytokine production in mast cells.

Abstract
A tyrosine kinase network composed of the TAM receptor AXL and the cytoplasmic kinases LYN and SYK is involved in nilotinib-resistance of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) cells. Here, we show that the E3-ubiquitin ligase CBL down-regulation occurring during prolonged drug treatment plays a critical role in this process. Depletion of CBL in K562 cells increases AXL and LYN protein levels, promoting cell resistance to nilotinib. Conversely, forced expression of CBL in nilotinib-resistant K562 cells (K562-rn) dramatically reduces AXL and LYN expression and resensitizes K562-rn cells to nilotinib. A similar mechanism was found to operate in primary CML CD34(+) cells. Mechanistically, the E3-ligase CBL counteracts AXL/SYK signalling, promoting LYN transcription by controlling AXL protein stability. Surprisingly, the role of AXL in resistance was independent of its ligand GAS6 binding and its TK activity, in accordance with a scaffold activity for this receptor being involved in this cellular process. Collectively, our results demonstrate a pivotal role for CBL in the control of a tyrosine kinase network mediating resistance to nilotinib treatment in CML cells.

Macglashan D, Moore G, Muchhal U. Regulation of IgE-mediated signalling in human basophils by CD32b and its role in Syk down-regulation: basic mechanisms in allergic disease. Clin Exp Allergy 2014; 44:713-23. [PMID: 24734927 DOI: 10.1111/cea.12155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2013] [Revised: 05/27/2013] [Accepted: 06/06/2013] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CD32b has been previously demonstrated to modulate IgE-mediated secretion from human basophils. However, exploration of the implications of this regulation has been limited. One unstudied area is whether regulation of signalling by CD32 also alters some of the phenotypic changes induced by IgE-mediated activation. The reported character of CD32-mediated signal transduction is not clear for human basophils and the two primary mechanisms considered important in this reaction predict different long-term outcomes, notably predicting different outcomes for down-regulation of syk expression. OBJECTIVE Syk expression was considered a unique point of phenotypic control in human basophils and the role of CD32b in its regulation is explored in this study. However, initial pilot studies discovered that IL-3 could markedly up-regulate CD32 expression and first describing the consequences of this up-regulation became an additional focus of this study. METHODS Human basophils were examined for the changes in IgE-mediated signalling during simultaneous engagement of CD32b. RESULTS Preliminary experiments noted that CD32b could be up-regulated by IL-3 (3- to 12-fold). Both natural variation and induced up-regulation of CD32b modulated the efficacy of this receptor to inhibit IgE-mediated release. Signalling induced by engagement of CD32b (lyn, syk, SHP-1, or SHIP1 phosphorylation) was more consistent with a mode of action involving SHIP1 rather than SHP-1. IgE-mediated down-regulation of syk expression was not altered by co-engagement of CD32b, a result also consistent with a SHIP1-dependent mechanism of inhibition. CONCLUSIONS Taken together these results suggest that the combined action of IgE and IgG could generate a natural mechanism, whereby the significant variation in syk expression in allergic subjects occurs without necessarily also inducing mediator release.

Abstract
Most immune cells, particularly phagocytes, express various receptors for the Fc portion of the different immunoglobulin isotypes (Fc receptors, FcRs). By binding to the antibody, they provide a link between the adaptive immune system and the powerful effector functions triggered by innate immune cells such as mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and NK cells. Upon ligation of the immune complexes, the downstream signaling pathways initiated by the different receptors are quite similar for different FcR classes leading to the secretion of preformed and de novo synthesized pro-inflammatory mediators. FcR engagement also promotes negative signals through the combined action of several molecules that limit the extent and duration of positive signaling. To this regard, ligand-induced ubiquitination of FcRs for IgE (FcεR) and IgG (FcγR) has become recognized as a key modification that generates signals for the internalization and/or delivery of engaged receptor complexes to lysosomes or cytoplasmic proteasomes for degradation, providing negative-feedback regulation of Fc receptor activity. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that ensure the clearance of engaged Fcε and Fcγ receptor complexes from the cell surface with an emphasis given to the cooperation between the ubiquitin pathway and endosomal adaptors including the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) in controlling receptor internalization and sorting along the endocytic compartments.

Abstract
We examined the biological functions of the gene Cbl in erythropoietin (EPO) signaling using Cbl-deficient F-36P human erythroleukemia cells by the introduction of the Cbl siRNA expression vector. Knockdown of Cbl promoted EPO-dependent proliferation and survival of F-36P cells, especially at a low concentration of EPO (0.01U/mL), similar to serum concentrations of EPO in healthy volunteers (0.005-0.04U/mL). We found that Src was degraded mainly by the proteasomal pathway because the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 but not the lysosome inhibitor NH4Cl suppressed the EPO-induced degradation of Src in F-36P cells and that knockdown of Cbl inhibited EPO-induced ubiquitination and degradation of Src in F-36P cells. The experiments using the Src inhibitor PP1 and co-expression experiments further confirmed that Cbl and the kinase activity of Src are required for the EPO-induced ubiquitination of Src. In addition, the co-expression experiments and in vitro kinase assay demonstrated that the EPO-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and ubiquitination of Cbl were dependent on the kinase activity of Src but not Jak2. Thus, Cbl negatively regulates EPO signaling mainly through the proteasome-dependent degradation of Src, and the E3 ligase activity of Cbl and its tyrosine phosphorylation are regulated by Src but not Jak2.

Abstract
The human plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) receptor BDCA2 forms a complex with the adaptor FcεR1γ to activate an ITAM-signaling cascade. BDCA2 receptor signaling negatively regulates the TLR7/9-mediated type 1 IFN responses in pDCs, which may play a key role in controlling self-DNA/RNA-induced autoimmunity. We report in this article that CD2-associated adaptor protein (CD2AP), which is highly expressed in human pDCs, positively regulates BDCA2/FcεR1γ receptor signaling. By immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analyses, we found that CD2AP bound to SHIP1. Knockdown of CD2AP or SHIP1 reduced the BDCA2/FcεR1γ-mediated ITAM signaling and blocked its inhibition of TLR9-mediated type 1 IFN production. Knockdown of CD2AP or SHIP1 also enhanced the ubiquitination and degradation of Syk and FcεR1γ that was mediated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl. This led us to discover that, upon BDCA2 cross-linking, the CD2AP/SHIP1 complex associated with Cbl and inhibited its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. In human primary pDCs, cross-linking of the BDCA2/FcεR1γ complex induced the recruitment of the CD2AP/SHIP1/Cbl complex to the plasma membrane of pDCs, where it colocalized with the BDCA2/FcεR1γ complex. Therefore, CD2AP positively regulates BDCA2/FcεR1γ signaling by forming a complex with SHIP1 to inhibit the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl.

Abstract
Antigen-mediated cross-linking of IgE bound to its receptor, FcεRI, initiates a transmembrane signaling cascade that results in mast cell activation in the allergic response. Using immunogold labeling of intact RBL mast cells and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we visualize molecular reorganization of IgE-FcεRI and early signaling proteins on both leaflets of the plasma membrane, without the need for ripped off membrane sheets. As quantified by pair correlation analysis, we observe dramatic changes in the nanoscale distribution of IgE-FcεRI after binding of multivalent antigen to stimulate transmembrane signaling, and this is accompanied by similar clustering of Lyn and Syk tyrosine kinases, and adaptor protein LAT. We find that Lyn co-redistributes with IgE-FcεRI into clusters that cross-correlate throughout 20 min of stimulation. Inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity reduces the numbers of both IgE-FcεRI and Lyn in stimulated clusters. Coupling of these proteins is also decreased when membrane cholesterol is reduced either before or after antigen addition. These results provide evidence for involvement of FcεRI phosphorylation and cholesterol-dependent membrane structure in the interactions that accompany IgE-mediated activation of RBL mast cells. More generally, this SEM view of intact cell surfaces provides new insights into the nanoscale organization of receptor-mediated signaling complexes in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, we have addressed how Lyn kinase signaling mediates nilotinib-resistance by quantitative phospho-proteomics using Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino acid in Cell culture. We have found an increased tyrosine phosphorylation of 2 additional tyrosine kinases in nilotinib-resistant cells: the spleen tyrosine kinase Syk and the UFO family receptor tyrosine kinase Axl. This increased tyrosine phosphorylation involved an interaction of these tyrosine kinases with Lyn. Inhibition of Syk by the inhibitors R406 or BAY 61-3606 or by RNA interference restored the capacity of nilotinib to inhibit cell proliferation. Conversely, coexpression of Lyn and Syk were required to fully induce resistance to nilotinib in drug-sensitive cells. Surprisingly, the knockdown of Syk also strongly decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of Lyn and Axl, thus uncovering interplay between Syk and Lyn. We have shown the involvement of the adaptor protein CDCP-1 in resistance to nilotinib. Interestingly, the expression of Axl and CDCP1 were found increased both in a nilotinib-resistant cell line and in nilotinib-resistant CML patients. We conclude that an oncogenic signaling mediated by Lyn and Syk can bypass the need of Bcr-Abl in CML cells. Thus, targeting these kinases may be of therapeutic value to override imatinib or nilotinib resistance in CML.

Abstract
Cytotoxic lymphocytes kill target cells through polarized release of the content of lytic granules at the immunological synapse. In human NK cells, signals for granule polarization and for degranulation can be uncoupled: Binding of β(2) integrin LFA-1 to ICAM is sufficient to induce polarization but not degranulation, whereas CD16 binding to IgG triggers unpolarized degranulation. In this study, we investigated the basis for this difference. IL-2-expanded human NK cells were stimulated by incubation with plate-bound ligands of LFA-1 (ICAM-1) and CD16 (human IgG). Surprisingly, LFA-1 elicited signals similar to those induced by CD16, including tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR ζ-chain, tyrosine kinase Syk, and phospholipase C-γ. Whereas CD16 activated Ca(2+) mobilization and LAT phosphorylation, LFA-1 did not, but induced strong Pyk2 and paxillin phosphorylation. LFA-1-dependent granule polarization was blocked by inhibition of Syk, phospholipase C-γ, and protein kinase C, as well as by paxillin knockdown. Therefore, common signals triggered by CD16 and LFA-1 bifurcate to provide independent control of Ca(2+)-dependent degranulation and paxillin-dependent granule polarization.

Abstract
The aggregation by antigen of the IgE bound to its high affinity receptor on mast cells initiates a complex series of biochemical events that result in the release of inflammatory mediators. The essential role of the protein tyrosine kinase Syk has been appreciated for some time, and newer results have defined the mechanism of its activation. The use of siRNA has defined the relative contribution of Syk, Fyn and Gab2 to signaling and has made possible a screening study to identify previously unrecognized molecules that are involved in these pathways.

Abstract
The high affinity receptor for IgE (FcvarepsilonRI) is constitutivelly expressed on the surface of mast cells and basophils as a multimeric complex. Upon antigen ligation to FcvarepsilonRI-bound IgE molecules, the receptor complex transduces intracellular signals leading to the release of preformed and newly synthesised pro-inflammatory mediators. FcvarepsilonRI engagement also generates negative intracellular signals involving the coordinated action of adapters, phosphatases and ubiquitin ligases that limits the intensity and duration of positive signals. Relevant to this, antigen-induced FcvarepsilonRI ubiquitination has become recognized as an important signal for the internalization and delivery of engaged receptor complexes to lysosomes for degradation. In this article, we review recent advances in our understanding of molecular mechanisms that guarantee the clearance of antigen-stimulated FcvarepsilonRI complexes from the cell surface. A particular emphasis will be given on how lipid rafts and the ubiquitin pathway cooperate to ensure receptor internalization and sorting along the endocytic compartments. A brief discussion regarding how ubiquitination regulates the endocytosis of Fc receptors other than FcvarepsilonRI will be included.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that a number of E3 ubiquitin ligases, including Cbl, Smurf1, Smurf2, HDM2, BCA2, SCF(beta-TRCP) and XRNF185, play important roles in cell adhesion and migration. Cbl negatively regulates cell adhesion via alpha integrin and Rap1 and inhibits actin polymerization by ubiquitinating mDab1 and WAVE2. Smurf1 regulates cell migration through ubiquitination of RhoA, talin head domain and hPEM2, while Smurf2 ubiquitinates Smurf1, TGFbeta type I receptor and RaplB to modulate cell migration and adhesion. HDM2 negatively regulates cell migration by targeting NFAT (a transcription factor) for ubiquitination and degradation, while SCF(beta-TRCP) ubiquitinates Snail (a transcriptional repressor of E-cadherin) to inhibit cell migration. TRIM32 promotes cell migration through ubiquitination of Abl interactor 2 (Abi2), a tumor suppressor. RNF5 and XRNF185 modulate cell migration by ubiquitinating paxillin. Thus, these E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate cell adhesion and (or) migration through ubiquitination of their specific substrates.

Abstract
The best characterized role for ubiquitination of membrane receptors is to negatively regulate signaling by targeting receptors for lysosomal degradation. The high affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI) expressed on mast cells and basophils is rapidly ubiquitinated upon antigen stimulation. However, the nature and the role of this covalent modification are still largelly unknown. Here, we show that FcεRI subunits are preferentially ubiquitinated at multiple sites upon stimulation, and provide evidence for a role of ubiquitin as an internalization signal: under conditions of impaired receptor ubiquitination a decrease of receptor entry is observed by FACS analysis and fluorescence microscopy. We also used biochemical approaches combined with fluorescence microscopy, to demonstrate that receptor endocytosis requires the integrity of specific membrane domains, namely lipid rafts. Additionally, by RNA interference we demonstrate the involvement of ubiquitin-binding endocytic adaptors in FcεRI internalization and sorting. Notably, the triple depletion of Eps15, Eps15R and Epsin1 negatively affects the early steps of Ag-induced receptor endocytosis, whereas Hrs depletion retains ubiquitinated receptors into early endosomes and partially prevents their sorting into lysosomes for degradation. Our results are compatible with a scenario in which the accumulation of engaged receptor subunits into lipid rafts is required for receptor ubiquitination, a prerequisite for efficient receptor internalization, sorting and delivery to a lysosomal compartment.

Abstract
IgE-mediated histamine release from peripheral blood basophils is highly variable within the general population. Recent studies have shown that the ability of anti-IgE antibody to induce release can be predicted reasonably well by knowing the level of syk expression in the cells. The current study expands a previous survey to include 14 additional early elements known to be involved in activation and deactivation of basophils and showed that with the exception of syk, the variance of expression of 19 other elements (lyn, fyn, csk, cbp/PAG, CIN85, Bob1, c-cbl, SHIP1, SHIP2, p85alpha, p110delta, btk, PLCgamma1, PLCgamma2, SHP-1, PTEN, SOS2, CRACM1, and IL-3Ralpha) was narrow despite a broad range of functional capability in the basophils under study. With syk as the only element with high variance and well-correlated to maximum histamine release and cellular sensitivity, this survey examined the expression levels of two proteins thought to regulate syk expression: Bob1/OCA-B and CIN85. Expression of CIN85 was not correlated to syk expression, but Bob1 expression was negatively correlated to expression of syk and maximum histamine release. However, the expected behavior for this protein should have been as a protector of post-translational syk loss and therefore, positively correlated. Previous studies suggested that post-translational control mechanisms regulated syk expression. However, in this study, steady-state mRNA levels for syk in resting basophils showed a correlation with syk protein expression levels (r=0.593). It is concluded that with the exception of syk expression, the expression of 19 early signaling elements is tightly regulated and that a component of the regulation of syk may be related to control of transcription or processing of syk mRNA.

Abstract
Cytoskeletal organization of the osteoclast (OC), which is central to the capacity of the cell to resorb bone, is induced by occupancy of the alphavbeta3 integrin or the macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) receptor c-Fms. In both circumstances, the tyrosine kinase Syk is an essential signaling intermediary. We demonstrate that Cbl negatively regulates OC function by interacting with Syk(Y317). Expression of nonphosphorylatable Syk(Y317F) in primary Syk(-/-) OCs enhances M-CSF- and alphavbeta3-induced phosphorylation of the cytoskeleton-organizing molecules, SLP76, Vav3, and PLCgamma2, to levels greater than wild type, thereby accelerating the resorptive capacity of the cell. Syk(Y317) suppresses cytoskeletal organization and function while binding the ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase Cbl. Consequently, Syk(Y317F) abolishes M-CSF- and integrin-stimulated Syk ubiquitination. Thus, Cbl/Syk(Y317) association negatively regulates OC function and therefore is essential for maintenance of skeletal homeostasis.

Abstract
Our studies in the RBL-2H3 mast cell line suggest that responses to antigen (Ag) are negatively modulated through upregulation of Src-like adaptor protein (SLAP). Ag stimulation of RBL-2H3 cells leads to increased levels of SLAP (but not SLAP2) transcripts and protein over a period of several hours. The effects of pharmacologic inhibitors indicate that the upregulation of SLAP is dependent on multiple signaling pathways. Knockdown of SLAP with anti-SLAP siRNA is associated with enhanced phosphorylation of Syk, the linker for activation of T cells (LAT), phospholipase C gamma, MAP kinases, and various transcription factors. Production of IL-3 and MCP-1, but not degranulation, is also enhanced. The upregulation of SLAP may thus serve to limit the duration of cytokine production in Ag-stimulated cells.

Abstract
The B cell receptor (BCR) transduces antigen binding into alterations in the activity of intracellular signaling pathways through its ability to recruit and activate the cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinase Syk. The recruitment of Syk to the receptor, its activation and its subsequent interactions with downstream effectors are all regulated by its phosphorylation on tyrosine. This review discusses our current understanding of how this phosphorylation regulates the activity of Syk and its participation in signaling through the BCR.

Abstract
Little is known about the mechanisms that arrest FcgammaRIIa signaling in human neutrophils once engaged by immune complexes or opsonized pathogens. In our previous studies, we observed a loss of immunoreactivity of Abs directed against FcgammaRIIa following its cross-linking. In this study, we report on the mechanisms involved in this event. A stimulated internalization of FcgammaRIIa leading to the down-regulation of its surface expression was observed by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Immunoprecipitation of the receptor showed that FcgammaRIIa is ubiquitinated after stimulation. MG132 and clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone inhibited the loss of immunoreactivity of FcgammaRIIa, suggesting that this receptor was down-regulated via the proteasomal pathway. The E3 ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl was found to translocate from the cytosol to the plasma membrane following receptor cross-linking. Furthermore, c-Cbl was recruited to the same subset of high-density, detergent-resistant membrane fractions as stimulated FcgammaRIIa itself. Silencing the expression of c-Cbl by small interfering RNA decreased FcgammaRIIa ubiquitination and prevented its degradation without affecting the internalisation process. It also prolonged the stimulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation response to the cross-linking of the receptor. We conclude that c-Cbl mediates the ubiquitination of stimulated FcgammaRIIa and thereby contributes to the termination of FcgammaRIIa signaling via its proteasomal degradation, thus leading to the down-regulation of neutrophil signalisation and function (phagocytosis) through this receptor.

Abstract
In addition to initiating signaling cascades leading to mast cell mediator release, aggregation of the high affinity IgE receptor (FcvarepsilonRI) leads to rapid internalization of the cross-linked receptor. However, little is known about the trafficking of the internalized FcvarepsilonRI. Here we demonstrate that in RBL-2H3 cells, aggregated FcvarepsilonRI appears in the early endosomal antigen 1 (EEA1(+)) domains of the early endosomes within 15min after ligation. Minimal co-localization of FcvarepsilonRI with Rab5 was observed by 30min, followed by its appearance in the Rab7(+) late endosomes and lysosomes at later time points. During endosomal sorting, FcvarepsilonRIalpha and gamma subunits remain associated. In Syk-deficient RBL-2H3 cells, the rate of transport to lysosomes is markedly increased. Taken together, our data demonstrate time-dependent sorting of aggregated FcvarepsilonRI within the endosomal-lysosomal network, and that Syk may play an essential role in regulating the trafficking and retention of FcvarepsilonRI in endosomes.

Abstract
The ingestion of particles or cells by phagocytosis and of fluids by macropinocytosis requires the formation of large endocytic vacuolar compartments inside cells by the organized movements of membranes and the actin cytoskeleton. Fc-receptor-mediated phagocytosis is guided by the zipper-like progression of local, receptor-initiated responses that conform to particle geometry. By contrast, macropinosomes and some phagosomes form with little or no guidance from receptors. The common organizing structure is a cup-shaped invagination of the plasma membrane that becomes the phagosome or macropinosome. Recent studies, focusing on the physical properties of forming cups, indicate that a feedback mechanism regulates the signal transduction of phagocytosis and macropinocytosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IgE-mediated secretion from mast cells or basophils depends on the activity of both spleen tyrosine kinase (syk) and phosphatidyl inositol 3' kinase (PI3K), but several specific downregulatory pathways (eg, loss of syk expression) do not. OBJECTIVE We tested whether stimulation with antigen in the presence of a syk inhibitor (NVP-QAB205) would ablate secretion while simultaneously allowing anergy. METHODS The anergic or desensitized state in human basophils, cultured-derived mast cells, and in situ stimulated airway mast cells (in organ baths) was assessed after stimulation with antigen in the presence of syk inhibitor. RESULTS Antigen caused 35 +/- 7% and 62 +/- 10% histamine release from basophils and mast cells, respectively, and it caused an 87 +/- 5% histamine/leukotriene D(4)-dependent contraction of human isolated bronchi. All of these responses were blocked >95% by the syk inhibitor. Rechallenging the preparations with antigen, after first washing out the syk inhibitor and antigen, revealed that near complete anergy (92% to 100%) occurred in each case. A similar result was found when using a PI3K inhibitor, LY294002, in studies of basophils. CONCLUSION Although the syk inhibitor nearly abolished the antigen-induced secretion from mast cells and basophils, it had little effect on the pathways involved in anergy. These results suggest that syk and PI3K are not involved in downregulation leading to anergy.

Abstract
In the general population, Syk expression in human basophils is highly variable and correlates well with the IgE-mediated responsiveness of these cells. Previous studies established that IgE-mediated stimulation results in loss of Syk expression. The current studies investigated whether stimulation through other receptors results in loss of Syk. Two classes of stimulation were examined, those that operate through the kinase Syk and those that operate through a GTP-binding protein. These studies demonstrated that aggregation of leukocyte Ig-like receptor LILRA-2 resulted in phosphorylation of Syk and c-Cbl, was inhibited by a third generation Syk inhibitor with an expected IC(50), and induced histamine release in strict proportion to release induced by anti-IgE Ab. Stimulation of LILRA-2 for 18 h resulted in modest loss of Syk that correlated with the more profound loss of Syk induced by anti-IgE Ab. Human recombinant histamine-releasing factor has also recently been shown to induce Syk phosphorylation and in the current studies has also been shown to induce loss of Syk in 18-h cultures. fMLP stimulation for 18 h was also found to induce modest loss of Syk. fMLP induced phosphorylation of c-Cbl that was sustained for at least 45 min. Phosphorylation of c-Cbl was inhibited by a Syk kinase inhibitor but with an IC(50) that was not consistent with Syk activity, suggesting another kinase was responsible for Cbl phosphorylation following fMLP. These studies demonstrate that it is possible to induce the loss of Syk expression in human basophils by a non-IgE-dependent mechanism and even by a mechanism that does directly involve Syk in the reaction complex.

Abstract
Triggering of mast cells and basophils by IgE and Ag initiates a cascade of biochemical events that lead to cell degranulation and the release of allergic mediators. Receptor aggregation also induces a series of biochemical events capable of limiting FcepsilonRI-triggered signals and functional responses. Relevant to this, we have recently demonstrated that Cbl-interacting 85-kDa protein (CIN85), a multiadaptor protein mainly involved in the process of endocytosis and vesicle trafficking, regulates the Ag-dependent endocytosis of the IgE receptor, with consequent impairment of FcepsilonRI-mediated cell degranulation. The purpose of this study was to further investigate whether CIN85 could alter the FcepsilonRI-mediated signaling by affecting the activity and/or expression of molecules directly implicated in signal propagation. We found that CIN85 overexpression inhibits the FcepsilonRI-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma, thus altering calcium mobilization. This functional defect is associated with a substantial decrease of Syk protein levels, which are restored by the use of selective proteasome inhibitors, and it is mainly due to the action of the ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl. Furthermore, coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate that CIN85 overexpression limits the ability of Cbl to bind suppressor of TCR signaling 1 (Sts1), a negative regulator of Cbl functions, while CIN85 knockdown favors the formation of Cbl/Sts1 complexes. Altogether, our findings support a new role for CIN85 in regulating Syk protein levels in RBL-2H3 cells through the activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and provide a mechanism for this regulation involving c-Cbl ligase activity.

Abstract
The RING finger type E3 ubiquitin ligase, Cbl-b, is abundantly expressed in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) and functions as a potent negative regulator of signalling responses from the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcvarepsilonRI). To determine the contribution of Cbl-b E3 ligase activity we generated knockin mice with a loss-of-function mutation in the RING finger domain. We find the mice to be healthy and, unlike equivalent c-Cbl RING finger mutant mice, produce homozygous offspring at the expected frequency. Comparative analyses of BMMCs from Cbl-b knockout and Cbl-b RING finger mutant mice revealed that both showed similarly enhanced FcvarepsilonRI signalling compared to wild-type cells for most parameters examined. A notable exception was a markedly higher level of activation of IkappaB kinase (IKK) in Cbl-b knockout BMMC compared to RING finger mutant-derived cells. In addition BMMCs from the Cbl-b RING finger mutant did not retard FcvarepsilonRI internalization to the extent observed for knockout cells. Most striking however was the finding that RING finger mutant mast cells do not produce the very high levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and MCP-1 evident in Cbl-b knockout cultures following FcvarepsilonRI activation. Thus the ability of Cbl-b to function as a negative regulator of FcvarepsilonRI signalling that promotes inflammatory cytokine production is largely independent of the RING finger domain.

Abstract
The type I Fc epsilon receptor (Fc epsilon RI) is one of the better understood members of its class and is central to the immunological activation of mast cells and basophils, the key players in immunoglobulin E (IgE)-dependent immediate hypersensitivity. This review provides background information on several distinct regulatory mechanisms controlling this receptor's stimulus-response coupling network. First, we review the current understanding of this network's operation, and then we focus on the inhibitory regulatory mechanisms. In particular, we discuss the different known cytosolic molecules (e.g. kinases, phosphatases, and adapters) as well as cell membrane proteins involved in negatively regulating the Fc epsilon RI-induced secretory responses. Knowledge of this field is developing at a fast rate, as new proteins endowed with regulatory functions are still being discovered. Our understanding of the complex networks by which these proteins exert regulation is limited. Although the scope of this review does not include addressing several important biochemical and biophysical aspects of the regulatory mechanisms, it does provide general insights into a central field in immunology.

Abstract
Allergic asthma and rhinitis are prevalent diseases in the modern world, both marked by inflammation of the airways. The spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) plays a critical role in the regulation of such immune and inflammatory responses. Although Syk is best known as a key component of immunoreceptor signalling complexes in leukocytes, recent studies demonstrated Syk expression in cells outside the haematopoietic lineage. Moreover, in recent years, it has been established that Syk is involved in various signalling cascades including those originating from integrin and cytokine receptors. Thus, Syk likely has a much wider biological role than previously recognised. Specific inhibition of Syk using aerosolised antisense oligonucleotides in liposome complexes significantly decreased lung inflammatory responses in experimental asthma and acute lung injury models. In addition, pharmacological inhibitors of Syk have been recently developed with potential for use as therapeutics. However, in the development and the rational delivery of drugs targeting Syk, it is important to consider the multiple cell types that express this kinase and the potential effects of its inhibition on various physiological functions. This review focuses on the recent data and the emerging ideas about Syk as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
c-Cbl and Cbl-b E3 ubiquitin ligases are abundantly expressed in hemopoietic cells where they negatively regulate the activity and levels of many cell surface receptors and associated signaling molecules. By comparing bone marrow-derived mast cells from c-Cbl and Cbl-b-deficient mice it has recently been shown that Cbl-b is the dominant family member for negatively regulating signaling responses from high-affinity IgE receptors. In this study, we suggest that a possible reason for the greater enhancement of IgE receptor signaling in Cbl-b-deficient mice is the relatively higher levels of Cbl-b protein over c-Cbl in mast cells compared with other hemopoietic cells. We also directly compare mast cells from c-Cbl and Cbl-b-deficient mice and find that loss of Cbl-b, but not c-Cbl, increases cell growth, retards receptor internalization, and causes the sustained tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk and its substrates. However, loss of Cbl-b does not enhance the activation of ERK or Akt, nor does it promote a greater calcium response. Furthermore, loss of Cbl-b or c-Cbl does not increase levels of the Syk or Lyn protein tyrosine kinases. Most notable, however, is the extremely large increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-6, and MCP-1 by Cbl-b(-/-) mast cells compared with levels produced by c-Cbl(-/-) or wild-type cells. This marked induction, which appears to be restricted to these three cytokines, is dependent on IgE receptor activation and correlates with enhanced IkappaB kinase phosphorylation. Thus, Cbl-b functions as a potent negative regulator of cytokines that promote allergic and inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
The proto-oncogenic protein c-Cbl was discovered as the cellular form of v-Cbl, a retroviral transforming protein. This was followed over the years by important discoveries, which identified c-Cbl and other Cbl-family proteins as key players in several signaling pathways. c-Cbl has donned the role of a multivalent adaptor protein, capable of interacting with a plethora of proteins, and has been shown to positively influence certain biological processes. The identity of c-Cbl as an E3 ubiquitin ligase unveiled the existence of an important negative regulatory pathway involved in maintaining homeostasis in protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) signaling. Recent years have also seen the emergence of novel regulators of Cbl, which have provided further insights into the complexity of Cbl-influenced pathways. This review will endeavor to provide a summary of current studies focused on the effects of Cbl proteins on various biological processes and the mechanism of these effects. The major sections of the review are as follows: Structure and genomic organization of Cbl proteins; Phosphorylation of Cbl; Interactions of Cbl; Localization of Cbl; Mechanism of effects of Cbl: (a) Ubiquitylation-dependent events: This section elucidates the mechanism of Cbl-mediated downregulation of EGFR and details the PTK and non-PTKs targeted by Cbl. In addition, it addresses the functional requirements for E3 Ubiquitin ligase activity of Cbl and negative regulation of Cbl-mediated downregulation of PTKs, (b) Adaptor functions: This section discusses the mechanisms of adaptor functions of Cbl in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, insulin signaling, regulation of Ras-related protein 1 (Rap1), PI-3' kinase signaling, and regulation of Rho-family GTPases and cytoskeleton; Biological functions: This section gives an account of the diverse biological functions of Cbl and includes the role of Cbl in transformation, T-cell signaling and thymus development, B-cell signaling, mast-cell degranulation, macrophage functions, bone development, neurite growth, platelet activation, muscle degeneration, and bacterial invasion; Conclusions and perspectives.

Abstract
Syk tyrosine kinase and Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing leukocyte-specific phosphoprotein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) are signaling mediators activated downstream of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing immunoreceptors and integrins. While the signaling cascades descending from integrins are similar to immunoreceptors, the mechanism of Syk activation and SLP-76 recruitment remains unclear. We used an in vivo structure-function approach to study the requirements for the domains of Syk and SLP-76 in immunoreceptor and integrin signaling. We found that both SH2 domains and the kinase domain of Syk are required for immunoreceptor-dependent signaling and cellular response via integrins. While the Gads-binding domain of SLP-76 is needed for immunoreceptor signaling, it appears dispensable for integrin signaling. Syk and SLP-76 also are required for initiating and/or maintaining separation between the blood and lymphatic vasculature. Therefore, we correlated the signaling requirement of the various domains of Syk and SLP-76 to their requirement in regulating vascular separation. Our data suggest ITAMs are required in Syk-dependent integrin signaling, demonstrate the separation of the structural features of SLP-76 to selectively support immunoreceptor versus integrin signaling, and provide evidence that the essential domains of SLP-76 for ITAM signals are those which most efficiently support separation between lymphatic and blood vessels.

Abstract
Fc gamma receptors (FcgammaRs) contribute to the internalization of large and small immune complexes through phagocytosis and endocytosis, respectively. The molecular processes underlying these internalization mechanisms differ dramatically and have distinct outcomes in immune clearance and modulation of cell function. However, it is unclear how the same receptors (FcgammaR) binding to identical ligands (IgG) can elicit such distinct responses. We and others have shown that Syk kinase, Src-related tyrosine kinases (SRTKs) and phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinases (PI3K) play important roles in FcgammaR phagocytosis. Herein, we demonstrate that these kinases are not required for FcgammaR endocytosis. Endocytosis of heat-aggregated IgG (HA-IgG) by COS-1 cells stably transfected with FcgammaRIIA or chimeric FcgammaRI-gamma-gamma (EC-TM-CYT) was not significantly altered by PP2, piceatannol, or wortmannin. In contrast, phagocytosis of large opsonized particles (IgG-sensitized sheep erythrocytes, EA) was markedly reduced by these inhibitors. These results were confirmed in primary mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages and freshly isolated human monocytes. Levels of receptor phosphorylation were similar when FcgammaRIIA was cross-linked using HA-IgG or EA. However, inhibition of FcgammaR phosphorylation prevented only FcgammaR phagocytosis. Finally, biochemical analyses of PI3K(p85)-Syk binding indicated that direct interactions between native Syk and PI3K proteins are differentially regulated during FcgammaR phagocytosis and endocytosis. Overall, our results indicate that FcgammaR endocytosis and phagocytosis differ dramatically in their requirement for Syk, SRTKs, and PI3K, pointing to striking differences in their signal transduction mechanisms. We propose a competitive inhibition-based model in which PI3K and c-Cbl play contrasting roles in the induction of phagocytosis or endocytosis signaling cascades.

Abstract
Serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase-1 (SGK-1) plays a critical role in regulation of the epithelial sodium channel, ENaC. SGK-1 also shares significant catalytic domain homology with protein kinase B (PKB/AKT-1) and is a downstream effector of antiapoptotic phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling. Steady-state levels of an active SGK-1 are tightly regulated by rapid transcriptional activation and post-translational modification including phosphorylation. We show here that endogenous SGK-1 protein is polyubiquitinated and rapidly degraded by the 26S proteasome. In contrast to other rapidly degraded kinases, neither the catalytic activity of SGK-1 nor activation site phosphorylation was required for its ubiquitin modification and degradation. Instead, SGK-1 degradation required a lysine-less six-amino-acid (amino acids 19-24) hydrophobic motif (GMVAIL) within the N-terminal domain. Deletion of amino acids 19-24 significantly increased the half-life of SGK1 and prevented its ubiquitin modification. Interestingly, this minimal region was also required for the association of SGK-1 with the endoplasmic reticulum. Ubiquitin modification and degradation of SGK-1 were increasingly inhibited by the progressive mutation of six N-terminal lysine residues surrounding the GMVAIL motif. Mutation of all six lysines to arginine did not disrupt the subcellular localization of SGK-1 despite a significant decrease in ubiquitination, implying that this modification per se was not required for targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum. These results suggest that constitutive ubiquitin-mediated degradation of SGK-1 is an important mechanism regulating its biological activity.

Abstract
Certain TRP cation channels confer the ability to sense environmental stimuli (heat, cold, pressure, osmolarity) across physiological and pathophysiological ranges. TRPA1 is a TRP-related channel that responds to cold temperatures, and pungent compounds that include the cold-mimetic icilin and cannabinoids. The initial report of TRPA1 as a transformation-associated gene product in lung epithelia is at odds with subsequent descriptions of a tissue distribution for TRPA1 that is restricted to sensory neurons. Here, we report that the human TRPA1 protein is widely expressed outside the CNS, and is indeed dys-regulated during oncogenic transformation. We describe that TRPA1 associates with the tumor-suppressor protein CYLD. TRPA1 is a novel substrate for the de-ubiquitinating activity of CYLD, and this de-ubiquitination has the net effect of increasing the cellular pool of TRPA1 proteins. Oncogenic mutations in the CYLD gene may therefore be predicted to alter cellular levels of TRPA1.

Abstract
The activation of signalling pathways by ligand engagement with transmembrane receptors is responsible for determining many aspects of cellular function and fate. While these outcomes are initially determined by the nature of the ligand and its receptor, it is also essential that intracellular enzymes, adaptor proteins and transcription factors are correctly assembled to convey the intended response. In recent years, it has become evident that proteins that regulate the amplitude and duration of these signalling responses are also critical in determining the function and fate of cells. Of these, the Cbl family of E3 ubiquitin ligases and adaptor proteins has emerged as key negative regulators of signals from many types of cell-surface receptors. The array of receptors and downstream signalling proteins that are regulated by Cbl proteins is diverse; however, in most cases, the receptors have a common link in that they either possess a tyrosine kinase domain or they form associations with cytoplasmic PTKs (protein tyrosine kinases). Thus Cbl proteins become involved in signalling responses at a time when PTKs are first activated and therefore provide an initial line of defence to ensure that signalling responses proceed at the desired intensity and duration.

Abstract
Ligation of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (Fc epsilonRI), constitutively expressed on mast cells and basophils, promotes cell activation and immediate release of allergic mediators. Furthermore, Fc epsilonRI up-regulation on APC from atopic donors is involved in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases. In consideration of the clinical relevance of the IgE receptor, the down-modulation of Fc epsilonRI expression in mast cells may represent a potential target for handling atopic diseases. In an effort to identify new molecular mechanisms involved in attenuating Fc epsilonRI expression and signaling, we focused our attention on CIN85, a scaffold molecule that regulates, in concert with the ubiquitin ligase Cbl, the clathrin-mediated endocytosis of several receptor tyrosine kinases. In the present study, we show that endogenous CIN85 is recruited in Cbl-containing complexes after engagement of the Fc epsilonRI on a mast cell line and drives ligand-induced receptor internalization. By confocal microscopic analysis, we provide evidence that CIN85 directs a more rapid receptor sorting in early endosomes and delivery to a lysosomal compartment. Furthermore, biochemical studies indicate that CIN85 plays a role in reducing the expression of receptor complex. Finally, we demonstrate that CIN85-overexpressing mast cells are dramatically impaired in their ability to degranulate following Ag stimulation, suggesting that the accelerated internalization of activated receptors by perturbing the propagation of Fc epsilonRI signaling may contribute to dampen the functional response. This role of CIN85 could be extended to include other multimeric immune receptors, such as the T and B cell receptors, providing a more general molecular mechanism for attenuating immune responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high-affinity IgE receptor, FcepsilonRI, is unresponsive on mast cells and basophils from people in several populations through an unknown mechanism. Similarly, FcepsilonRI-positive basophils from 'nonreleasers' are IgE-unresponsive and are deficient in the tyrosine kinase Syk. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that cross-linking FcepsilonRI on mast cells and basophils leads to FcepsilonRI nonresponsiveness through reduction in Syk protein levels. METHODS Human mast cells and basophils were used to determine if FcepsilonRI hyporesponsiveness correlated with reduced Syk levels. RESULTS It is shown that suboptimal antigen challenge, that did not lead to significant mediator release, induced nonresponsiveness and correlated with reduced Syk. Other IgE-associated signaling molecules were unaffected by the same treatment. The ability of IgE-unresponsive mast cells to regain FcepsilonRI responsiveness is paralleled by increased cellular Syk levels in vitro. The reduction of Syk levels with suboptimal antigen concentrations was calcium independent and mediated through a proteasome-dependent mechanism. CONCLUSION These findings confirm and extend our knowledge about a novel regulatory mechanism for maintaining FcepsilonRI in a quiescent state. This mechanism may also explain why low concentrations of allergen given to patients during allergen immunotherapy induce FcepsilonRI nonresponsiveness and therapeutic benefit without inducing systemic anaphylaxis.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-protein ligase Cbl-b negatively regulates high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI)-mediated degranulation and cytokine gene transcription in mast cells. In this study, we have examined the role of a truncated variant of Cbl-b related to the rat model of type 1 diabetes mellitus using the mast cell signaling model. Overexpression of the truncated Cbl-b that lacks the C-terminal region did not suppress the activation of proximal and distal signaling molecules leading to degranulation. FcepsilonRI-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk, Gab2, and phospholipase C-gamma1, and activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase), and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappaB kinase (IKK), and generation of Rac1 are unaffected in cells overexpressing the truncated Cbl-b in the lipid raft. On the other hand, FcepsilonRI-mediated transcriptional activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), and transcription of interleukin-3 (IL-3) and IL-4 mRNA are inhibited by overexpression of the truncated variant of Cbl-b. This suppression parallels the re-compartmentalization of specific effector molecules in the lipid raft. These structural and functional analyses reveal the mechanism underlying the selective inhibition of cellular signaling by the truncated variant of Cbl-b related to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) activation is a key intermediate step in the activation of platelets by the physiologic agonist collagen. We have found that Syk is rapidly ubiquitinated upon activation of platelets by collagen, collagen-related peptide (CRP), and convulxin. The Src family kinase inhibitors prevented Syk phosphorylation and its ubiquitination, indicating that the process is downstream of Src kinases. The ubiquitination of Syk did not cause degradation of the protein as evidenced by the lack of effect of proteasomal and lysosomal inhibitors. We separated ubiquitinated Syk from its nonubiquitinated counterpart and used an in vitro kinase assay to compare their activities. We found that the ubiquitinated Syk appeared to be about 5-fold more active. Using a phosphospecific antibody to Syk (Tyr525/Tyr526) that measures activated Syk, we found that most (60%-75%) of the active Syk is in the ubiquitinated fraction. This result explains the apparent high specific activity of ubiquitinated Syk. In c-Cbl-deficient mice, Syk is not ubiquitinated, implicating c-Cbl as the E3 ligase involved in Syk ubiquitination. Furthermore, Syk is not dephosphorylated in these mice. We propose that c-Cbl plays a regulatory role in glycoprotein VI (GPVI)/Fc receptor gamma (FcRgamma)-chain-dependent platelet activation through its interaction with Syk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ongoing secretion from human basophils is a balance of activation and deactivation events. Recent studies have focused on downregulatory steps that appear to modify the presence of the activated state of various signaling molecules. We now examine downregulation regulated by mechanisms related to proteasome processing. OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term effects of FcepsilonRI aggregation on expression of syk kinase. METHODS Peripheral blood basophils were examined for changes in the expression of syk kinase after stimulation with optimal and suboptimal stimulation. RESULTS Stimulation results in a 20% loss of syk in 1 hour and an 80% loss of syk in longer incubations (>18 hours). Loss of syk in this time frame can occur at levels of stimulation that do not result in observable mediator release. Loss of syk occurs after stimulation with either anti-IgE antibody or antigen. Activation is shown to result in c-Cbl phosphorylation, and its association with syk and immunoblotting reveals the appearance of a ladder of syk species with molecular weights that are consistent with ubiquitylation of syk. Stimulation in the presence of a proteasome inhibitor such as lactacystin A results in the sustained presence of very high-molecular-weight ubiquitylated species, although it does not alter the presence of the syk ladder. CONCLUSIONS Although the loss of syk is probably too slow to account for downregulation of ongoing secretion of histamine or leukotriene C4 release, it may lead to longer-term alterations in basophil function that explain characteristics of clinical procedures like rapid drug desensitization.
