Abstract
Memory B cells and long-lived plasma cells are key elements of adaptive humoral immunity. Regardless of the immunoglobulin class produced, these cells can ensure long-lasting protection but also long-lasting immunopathology, thus requiring tight regulation of their generation and survival. Among all antibody classes, this is especially true for IgE, which stands as the most potent, and can trigger dramatic inflammatory reactions even when present in minute amounts. IgE responses and memory crucially protect against parasites and toxic components of venoms, conferring selective advantages and explaining their conservation in all mammalian species despite a parallel broad spectrum of IgE-mediated immunopathology. Long-term memory of sensitization and anaphylactic responses to allergens constitute the dark side of IgE responses, which can trigger multiple acute or chronic pathologic manifestations, some punctuated with life-threatening events. This Janus face of the IgE response and memory, both necessary and potentially dangerous, thus obviously deserves the most elaborated self-control schemes.

Abstract
Aberrant production of IgE antibodies can lead to allergic diseases. Normally, IgE(+) B cells rarely differentiate into memory B cells (Bmem) or long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs), as they only transiently participate in the germinal center (GC), but the mechanism behind this remains elusive. We found that membrane IgE (mIgE) autonomously triggered rapid plasma-cell differentiation and apoptosis independently of antigen or cellular context, predominantly through the mutually independent CD19-PI3K-Akt-IRF4 and BLNK-Jnk/p38 pathways, respectively, and we identified the ectodomains of mIgE as being responsible. Accordingly, deregulated GC IgE(+) B cell proliferation and prolonged IgE production with exaggerated anaphylaxis were observed in CD19- and BLNK-deficient mice. Our findings reveal an autonomous mIgE signaling mechanism that normally prevents IgE(+) Bmem and LLPC formation, providing insights into the molecular pathogenesis of allergic diseases.

Abstract
Survival and phenotype of normal and malignant B lymphocytes are critically dependent on constitutive signals by the B cell receptor (BCR) for antigen. In addition, either antigen ligation of the BCR or various mitogenic stimuli result in B cell activation and induction of activation-induced deaminase (AID). AID activity can in turn mediate somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulin (Ig) V regions and also deeply remodel the Ig heavy chain locus through class switch recombination (CSR) or locus suicide recombination (LSR). In addition to changes linked to affinity for antigen, modifying the class/isotype (i.e. the structure and function) of the BCR or suddenly deleting BCR expression also modulates the fate of antigen-experienced B cells.

Abstract
The switch of B cells expressing membrane-bound Igs, which serve as antigen receptors, to antibody-secreting plasmablasts and finally to non-dividing, long-lived plasma cells (PCs) lacking an antigen receptor, marks the terminal differentiation of a B cell. Antibody-secreting PCs represent the key cell type for the maintenance of a proactive humoral immunological memory. Although some populations of long-lived PCs persist in the spleen, most of them return to their 'place of birth' and travel to the bone marrow or invade inflamed tissues, where they survive up to several months in survival niches as resident, immobile cells. Existing data strongly support the notion that isotype-specific receptor signalling influences the migration behaviour of plasmablasts to the bone marrow. The recent observation in the murine system that the immigration of plasmablasts and the final differentiation to long-lived PCs in the bone marrow is dependent on the expressed B-cell isotype and the related expression of chemokine receptors leads to the conclusion that during a T-helper type 2 (Th2)-mediated immune response in wild type mice, IgE plasmablasts do not have the same chance to contribute to long-lived PC memory as IgG1 plasmablasts. The overall limited humoral IgE memory additionally restricts the quantity of IgE Igs in the serum.

Abstract
Active alkaline phosphatase of Escherichia coli (PhoA, EC 3.1.3.1) was displayed via the leucine zipper element of the Jun-Fos heterodimer on the surface of filamentous phage and the kinetic parameters K(m) and k(cat) were determined. The phoA gene was cloned downstream of fos while jun was inserted upstream of pIII or pVIII, alternatively, in the pJuFo phagemid vector. Both fusion genes are regulated by independent lacZ promoters. PhoA displayed on the phagemid pIII surface exhibited a K(m) of 11.2 microM with 4-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate, which is consistent with data published for soluble PhoA. Based on these data we calculated the decoration of pJuFo phagemid with PhoA using the minor and major coat proteins pIII and pVIII as fusion partners under variable inducing conditions. We found that, even if the promoters are fully induced at a concentration of 1000 microM IPTG, the phagemids display maximally one copy of PhoA-Fos-Jun-coat protein fusion, irrespective of whether the protein is presented via pIII or pVIII. However, since PhoA is displayed in a native-like fashion, as deduced from the kinetic parameters of the enzymatic reaction, the pJuFo technology provides a versatile tool for the functional screening of complex cDNA libraries displayed on the phagemids' surface.

Abstract
Ag engagement of BCR in mature B cells can deliver specific signals, which decide cell survival or cell death. Circulating membrane IgE+ (mIgE+) cells are found in extremely low numbers. We hypothesized that engagement of an epsilonBCR in a mature isotype-switched B cell could induce apoptosis. We studied the role of the extracellular membrane-proximal domain (EMPD) of human mIgE upon BCR engagement with anti-Id Abs. Using mutants lacking the EMPD, we show that this domain is involved in controlling Ca2+ mobilization in immunoreceptors of both gamma and epsilon isotypes, as well as apoptosis in signaling originated only from the epsilonBCR. We mapped to the epsilonCH4 ectodomain the region responsible for apoptosis in EMPD-deleted receptors. Ca2+ mobilization was not related to apoptotic signaling. This apoptotic pathway was caspase independent, involved ERK1/2 phosphorylation and was partially rescued by CD40 costimulation. We therefore conclude that the EMPD of human mIgE is a key control element of apoptotic signaling delivered through engagement of epsilonBCR within the context of a mature B cell.

Abstract
Engagement of the BCR triggers signals that control affinity maturation, memory induction, differentiation, and various other physiological processes in B cells. In previous work, we showed that truncation of the cytoplasmic tail of membrane-bound Ig (mIg)E in vivo resulted in lower serum IgE levels, decreased numbers of IgE-secreting plasma cells, and the abrogation of specific secondary responses correlating with a defect in the selection of high-affinity Abs during the germinal center reaction. We concluded that the Ag receptor is necessary at all times during Ab responses not only for the maturation process, but also for the expansion of Ag-specific B cells. Based on these results, we asked whether the cytoplasmic tail of mIgE, or specific proteins binding the cytoplasmic tail in vivo commit a signal transduction accompanying the B cell along its differentiation process. In this study, we present the identification of HS1-associated protein X-1 as a novel protein interacting with the cytoplasmic tail of mIgE. ELISA, surface plasmon resonance analysis, and coimmunoprecipitation experiments confirmed the specific interaction in vitro. In functional assays, we clearly showed that HS1-associated protein X-1 expression levels influence the efficiency of BCR-mediated Ag internalization.

Abstract
Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1 or MAP4K1) is a hematopoietic-specific mammalian STE20-like protein serine/threonine kinase, comprised of a STE20-like kinase domain in its N-terminus, four proline-rich motifs, a caspase cleavage site, and a distal C-terminal Citron homology domain. HPK1 is involved in many cellular signaling cascades that include MAPK signaling, antigen receptor signaling, apoptosis, growth factor signaling, and cytokine signaling. HPK1 binds many adaptor proteins including members of the Grb2 family, Nck family, Crk family, SLP-76 family, and actin-binding adaptors like HIP-55. HPK1 tyrosine phosphorylation and kinase activation depend on the presence of adaptor proteins. Adaptor proteins are required not only for linking HPK1 to cell surface receptors like the EGFR, but also for downstream gene transcription like NFAT, AP-1 and IL-2. The HPK1 association with Crk, CrkL, and HIP-55 mediate HPK1-dependent c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, while the association of HPK1 with SLP-76, Gads, CrkL, Grb2, and Grap affect T- and B-cell dependent gene transcription. Interestingly, HPK1 has been implicated in both increasing and decreasing NFAT, AP-1, and IL-2 gene transcription in T-cells where adaptor proteins play a key role. Lastly, HPK1 will phosphorylate Crk and CrkL, in vitro, which presents a novel possibility for the regulation of adaptor proteins and downstream signaling events.

Abstract
Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) is a hematopoietic specific mammalian Ste20-like protein kinase and has been implicated in many cellular signaling pathways including T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. However, little is known about the in vivo regulation of HPK1. We present evidence that HPK1 is positively regulated by protein phosphatase 4 (PP4; also called PPX and PPP4), a serine/threonine phosphatase. We found that PP4 interacted with HPK1 and that the proline-rich region of HPK1 was necessary and sufficient for this interaction. We also found that PP4 had phosphatase activity toward HPK1 in vivo and that co-transfection of PP4 with HPK1 resulted in specific kinase activation of HPK1. Moreover, we found that the PP4-induced HPK1 kinase activation was accompanied by an increase in protein expression of HPK1. Pulse-chase analysis showed that PP4 increased the half-life of HPK1. Further studies showed that HPK1 was subject to regulation by ubiquitination and ubiquitin-targeted degradation and that PP4 inhibited HPK1 ubiquitination. In addition, we found that TCR stimulation enhanced the PP4-HPK1 interaction and that wild-type PP4 enhanced, whereas a phosphatase-dead PP4 mutant inhibited, TCR-induced activation of HPK1 in Jurkat T cells. Combined with the observation that PP4 enhanced HPK1-induced JNK activation, our studies identify PP4 as a positive regulator for HPK1 and the HPK1-JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Although an impressive list of allergenic structures has been elucidated during the last decade by classical cloning methods, the size of the repertoire of molecular structures able to elicit allergic reactions is still unknown. Selective enrichment of cDNA libraries displayed on phage surface with serum IgE from allergic individuals combined with robotic-based high-throughput screening technology has proved to be extremely successful for the rapid isolation of allergens. The basic concept of linking the phenotype, expressed as gene product displayed on the phage coat, to its genetic information integrated into the phage genome, creates fusion proteins covalently associated with the infectious particle itself. Therefore, cDNA libraries displayed on phage surface can be screened for the presence of specific clones using the discriminative power of affinity purification. The selection of IgE-binding clones involves the enrichment of phage binding to serum IgE immobilised to a solid phase during consecutive rounds of affinity selection. As a consequence of the physical linkage between genotype and phenotype, sequencing of the DNA of the integrated section of the phage genome can readily elucidate the amino acid sequence of the surface-displayed allergen. In spite of some biological limitations imposed by Escherichia coli as expression host, phage surface display technology has strongly contributed to the rapid isolation of a vast variety of IgE-binding structures.

Abstract
We have compiled 819 articles published in the year 2002 that involved commercial optical biosensor technology. The literature demonstrates that the technology's application continues to increase as biosensors are contributing to diverse scientific fields and are used to examine interactions ranging in size from small molecules to whole cells. Also, the variety of available commercial biosensor platforms is increasing and the expertise of users is improving. In this review, we use the literature to focus on the basic types of biosensor experiments, including kinetics, equilibrium analysis, solution competition, active concentration determination and screening. In addition, using examples of particularly well-performed analyses, we illustrate the high information content available in the primary response data and emphasize the impact of including figures in publications to support the results of biosensor analyses.
