Abstract
Macrophages destroy pathogens and diseased cells through Fcγ receptor (FcγR)-driven phagocytosis of antibody-opsonized targets. Phagocytosis requires activation of multiple FcγRs, but the mechanism controlling the threshold for response is unclear. We developed a DNA origami-based engulfment system that allows precise nanoscale control of the number and spacing of ligands. When the number of ligands remains constant, reducing ligand spacing from 17.5 nm to 7 nm potently enhances engulfment, primarily by increasing efficiency of the engulfment-initiation process. Tighter ligand clustering increases receptor phosphorylation, as well as proximal downstream signals. Increasing the number of signaling domains recruited to a single ligand-receptor complex was not sufficient to recapitulate this effect, indicating that clustering of multiple receptors is required. Our results suggest that macrophages use information about local ligand densities to make critical engulfment decisions, which has implications for the mechanism of antibody-mediated phagocytosis and the design of immunotherapies.

Abstract
Food allergy is a major health issue, affecting the lives of 8% of U.S. children and their families. There is an urgent need to identify the environmental and endogenous signals that induce and sustain allergic responses to ingested allergens. Acute reactions to foods are triggered by the activation of mast cells and basophils, both of which release inflammatory mediators that lead to a range of clinical manifestations, including gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and respiratory reactions as well as systemic anaphylaxis. Both of these innate effector cell types express the high affinity IgE receptor, FcϵRI, on their surface and are armed for adaptive antigen recognition by very-tightly bound IgE antibodies which, when cross-linked by polyvalent allergen, trigger degranulation. These cells also express inhibitory receptors, including the IgG Fc receptor, FcγRIIb, that suppress their IgE-mediated activation. Recent studies have shown that natural resolution of food allergies is associated with increasing food-specific IgG levels. Furthermore, oral immunotherapy, the sequential administration of incrementally increasing doses of food allergen, is accompanied by the strong induction of allergen-specific IgG antibodies in both human subjects and murine models. These can deliver inhibitory signals via FcγRIIb that block IgE-induced immediate food reactions. In addition to their role in mediating immediate hypersensitivity reactions, mast cells and basophils serve separate but critical functions as adjuvants for type 2 immunity in food allergy. Mast cells and basophils, activated by IgE, are key sources of IL-4 that tilts the immune balance away from tolerance and towards type 2 immunity by promoting the induction of Th2 cells along with the innate effectors of type 2 immunity, ILC2s, while suppressing the development of regulatory T cells and driving their subversion to a pathogenic pro-Th2 phenotype. This adjuvant effect of mast cells and basophils is suppressed when inhibitory signals are delivered by IgG antibodies signaling via FcγRIIb. This review summarizes current understanding of the immunoregulatory effects of mast cells and basophils and how these functions are modulated by IgE and IgG antibodies. Understanding these pathways could provide important insights into innovative strategies for preventing and/or reversing food allergy in patients.

Abstract
Lipid cell membranes not only represent the physical boundaries of cells. They also actively participate in many cellular processes. This contribution is facilitated by highly complex mixtures of different lipids and incorporation of various membrane proteins. One group of membrane-associated receptors are Fc receptors (FcRs). These cell-surface receptors are crucial for the activity of most immune cells as they bind immunoglobulins such as immunoglobulin G (IgG). Based on distinct mechanisms of IgG binding, two classes of Fc receptors are now recognized: the canonical type I FcγRs and select C-type lectin receptors newly referred to as type II FcRs. Upon IgG immune complex induced cross-linking, these receptors are known to induce a multitude of cellular effector responses in a cell-type dependent manner, including internalization, antigen processing, and presentation as well as production of cytokines. The response is also determined by specific intracellular signaling domains, allowing FcRs to either positively or negatively modulate immune cell activity. Expression of cell-type specific combinations and numbers of receptors therefore ultimately sets a threshold for induction of effector responses. Mechanistically, receptor cross-linking and localization to lipid rafts, i.e., organized membrane microdomains enriched in intracellular signaling proteins, were proposed as major determinants of initial FcR activation. Given that immune cell membranes might also vary in their lipid compositions, it is reasonable to speculate, that the cell membrane and especially lipid rafts serve as an additional regulator of FcR activity. In this article, we aim to summarize the current knowledge on the interplay of lipid rafts and IgG binding FcRs with a focus on the plasma membrane composition and receptor localization in immune cells, the proposed mechanisms underlying this localization and consequences for FcR function with respect to their immunoregulatory capacity.

Abstract
Macrophages protect the body from damage and disease by targeting antibody-opsonized cells for phagocytosis. Though antibodies can be raised against antigens with diverse structures, shapes, and sizes, it is unclear why some are more effective at triggering immune responses than others. Here, we define an antigen height threshold that regulates phagocytosis of both engineered and cancer-specific antigens by macrophages. Using a reconstituted model of antibody-opsonized target cells, we find that phagocytosis is dramatically impaired for antigens that position antibodies >10 nm from the target surface. Decreasing antigen height drives segregation of antibody-bound Fc receptors from the inhibitory phosphatase CD45 in an integrin-independent manner, triggering Fc receptor phosphorylation and promoting phagocytosis. Our work shows that close contact between macrophage and target is a requirement for efficient phagocytosis, suggesting that therapeutic antibodies should target short antigens in order to trigger Fc receptor activation through size-dependent physical segregation.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by adaptive immune responses against self-antigens, including humoral responses resulting in the production of autoantibodies. Autoantibodies generate inflammation by activating complement and engaging Fcγ receptors (FcγRs). The inhibitory receptor FcγRIIB plays a central role in regulating the generation of autoantibodies and their effector functions, which include activation of innate immune cells and the cellular arm of the adaptive immune system, via effects on antigen presentation to CD4 T cells. Polymorphisms in FcγRIIB have been associated with susceptibility to autoimmunity but protection against infections in humans and mice. In the last few years, new mechanisms by which FcγRIIB controls the adaptive immune response have been described. Notably, FcγRIIB has been shown to regulate germinal center B cells and dendritic cell migration, with potential impact on the development of autoimmune diseases. Recent work has also highlighted the implication of FcγRIIB on the regulation of the innate immune system, via inhibition of Toll-like receptor- and complement receptor-mediated activation. This review will provide an update on the role of FcγRIIB in adaptive immune responses in autoimmunity, and then focus on their emerging function in innate immunity.

Abstract
Transmembrane adaptor proteins (TRAPs) are structurally related proteins that have no enzymatic function, but enable inducible recruitment of effector molecules to the plasma membrane, usually in a phosphorylation dependent manner. Numerous surface receptors employ TRAPs for either propagation or negative regulation of the signal transduction. Several TRAPs (LAT, NTAL, PAG, LIME, PRR7, SCIMP, LST1/A, and putatively GAPT) are known to be palmitoylated that could facilitate their localization in lipid rafts or tetraspanin enriched microdomains. This review summarizes expression patterns, binding partners, signaling pathways, and biological functions of particular palmitoylated TRAPs with an emphasis on the three most recently discovered members, PRR7, SCIMP, and LST1/A. Moreover, we discuss in silico methodology used for discovery of new family members, nature of their binding partners, and microdomain localization.

FcγRIIa requires lipid rafts, but not co-localization into rafts, for effector function. Inflamm Res 2012; 62:37-43.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if receptor localization into lipid rafts, or the lipid rafts themselves, are important for FcγRIIa effector functions. MATERIAL Wild-type FcγRIIa or mutant FcγRIIa(C208A) that does not translocate to lipid rafts were transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells which have been shown to be reliable cells for studying FcγR function. TREATMENT Cells were treated with buffer or methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) to deplete cholesterol and dissolve the structure of lipid rafts. METHODS To evaluate lipid raft association, transfected CHO cells were lysed and centrifuged over a sucrose gradient. Fractions were run on SDS-PAGE and blotted for FcγRIIa or sphingolipid GM1 to illustrate the lipid raft fractions. Lateral mobility of GFP-tagged wild-type or mutant FcγRIIa was assessed using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) microscopy. Internalization of IgG-opsonized erythrocytes was assessed by fluorescence microscopy and uptake of heat-aggregated IgG (haIgG) was measured using flow cytometry. RESULTS We observed that FcγRIIa(C208A) did not localize into lipid rafts. However, the mutant FcγRIIa retained lateral mobility and effector function similar to wild-type FcγRIIa. However, mutant FcγRIIa function was abolished upon treatment with MβCD. CONCLUSIONS Lipid rafts provide an essential component required for effector activities independent of receptor localization.

Abstract
The high-affinity IgG receptor (CD64, FcγRI) has several special capacities, including the receptor-stimulated cleavage of the cell surface B cell-activating factor of the TNF superfamily (TNFSF13B). With the use of the yeast two-hybrid system, we and others have shown that FcγRI interacts with protein 4.1G (EPB41L2). Our mutational analyses identified two required 4.1G-interacting regions in the FcγRI CY and one FcγRI-interacting site in the C-terminus of protein 4.1G. Herein, we explore mechanism(s) that may regulate the interaction between protein 4.1G and FcγRI CY and influence FcγRI membrane mobility and function. We show that FcγRI CY interacts with protein 4.1G in vitro and that FcγRI coimmunoprecipitates protein 4.1G in freshly isolated human PBMC. With the use of immunostaining, we show that FcγRI colocalizes with protein 4.1G in unstimulated U937 cells, in which the FcγRI CY is constitutively serine-phosphorylated, but significant uncoupling occurs following FcγRI cross-linking, suggesting phosphoserine-regulated interaction. In vitro, protein 4.1G interacted preferentially with CK2-phosphorylated FcγRI CY, and compared with WT FcγRI, a nonphosphorylatable FcγRI mutant receptor was excluded from lipid rafts, suggesting a key role for protein 4.1G in targeting phosphorylated FcγRI to rafts. These data are consistent with a phosphoserine-dependent tethering role for protein 4.1G in maintaining FcγRI in lipid rafts and provide insight into the unique phosphoserine-based regulation of receptor signaling by FcγRI CY.

Abstract
The biochemical composition and biophysical properties of cell membranes are hypothesized to affect cellular processes such as phagocytosis. Here, we examined the plasma membranes of murine macrophage cell lines during the early stages of uptake of immunoglobulin G (IgG)-coated polystyrene particles. We found that the plasma membrane undergoes rapid actin-independent condensation to form highly ordered phagosomal membranes, the biophysical hallmark of lipid rafts. Surprisingly, these membranes are depleted of cholesterol and enriched in sphingomyelin and ceramide. Inhibition of sphingomyelinase activity impairs membrane condensation, F-actin accumulation at phagocytic cups and particle uptake. Switching phagosomal membranes to a cholesterol-rich environment had no effect on membrane condensation and the rate of phagocytosis. In contrast, preventing membrane condensation with the oxysterol 7-ketocholesterol, even in the presence of ceramide, blocked F-actin dissociation from nascent phagosomes and particle uptake. In conclusion, our results suggest that ordered membranes function to co-ordinate F-actin remodelling and that the biophysical properties of phagosomal membranes are essential for phagocytosis.

Abstract
Macrophages display a large variety of surface receptors that are critical for their normal cellular functions in host defense, including finding sites of infection (chemotaxis) and removing foreign particles (phagocytosis). However, inappropriate regulation of these processes can lead to human diseases. Many of these receptors utilize tyrosine phosphorylation cascades to initiate and terminate signals leading to cell migration and clearance of infection. Actin remodeling dominates these processes and many regulators have been identified. This review focuses on how tyrosine kinases and phosphatases regulate actin dynamics leading to macrophage chemotaxis and phagocytosis.

Abstract
Human neutrophils constitutively express a unique combination of FcγRs, namely FcγRIIa and FcγRIIIb. Numerous lines of evidence support the concept that these FcγRs generate only partially characterized intracellular signals. However, despite the fact that both receptors are likely to be engaged simultaneously in a physiological setting, no recent publications have investigated the distinct, although partially convergent, results of their joint activation in IgG-dependent responses. To examine the significance of the co-expression of FcγRIIa and FcγRIIIb on human neutrophils, we analyzed the neutrophil responses to stimuli that engage these FcγRs, namely the phagocytosis of human IgG-opsonized zymosan and the responses to heat-aggregated IgGs. Blocking antibodies to either FcγR significantly decreased the phagocytic index and the stimulated production of superoxide anions. Both receptors are required for optimal IgG-dependent responses by human neutrophils. On the other hand, only blocking antibodies to FcγRIIIb, but not to FcγRIIa, inhibited the mobilization of calcium in response to heat-aggregated IgGs. Furthermore, phagocytosis of IgG-opsonized zymosan by human neutrophils required an extracellular influx of calcium that was blocked only by antibodies against FcγRIIIb. We also observed that this calcium influx as well as the IgG-dependent phagocytosis were dependent on the integrity of the plasma membrane detergent-resistant microdomains to which both isoforms were recruited following stimulation by heat-aggregated IgGs. These data clarify the mechanisms that regulate the FcγRs constitutively expressed on human neutrophils, describe a specific contribution of FcγRIIIb at the level of the mobilization of calcium, and provide evidence for a crucial role of detergent-resistant microdomains in this process.

Abstract
FcgammaRIIB is the only inhibitory Fc receptor. It controls many aspects of immune and inflammatory responses, and variation in the gene encoding this protein has long been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune disease, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). FcgammaRIIB is also involved in the complex regulation of defence against infection. A loss-of-function polymorphism in FcgammaRIIB protects against severe malaria, the investigation of which is beginning to clarify the evolutionary pressures that drive ethnic variation in autoimmunity. Our increased understanding of the function of FcgammaRIIB also has potentially far-reaching therapeutic implications, being involved in the mechanism of action of intravenous immunoglobulin, controlling the efficacy of monoclonal antibody therapy and providing a direct therapeutic target.

Abstract
Binding of Igs to myeloid cells via FcR is a key event in the control of innate and acquired immunity. FcgammaRIIa (CD32a) is a receptor for multivalent IgG expressed predominantly by myeloid cells, and its association with microdomains rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, termed as lipid rafts, has been reported to be essential for efficient signaling. However, for many myeloid cell types, ligand binding to CD32a is suppressed by as yet undefined mechanisms. In this study, we have examined the role of CD32a-lipid raft interactions in the regulation of IgG binding to CD32a. Disruption of lipid raft structure following depletion or sequestration of membrane cholesterol greatly inhibited CD32a-mediated IgG binding. Furthermore, specific CD32a mutants, which show reduced association with lipid rafts (A224S and C241A), displayed decreased levels of IgG binding compared with wild-type CD32a. In contrast, constitutively lipid raft-associated CD32a (GPI-anchored CD32a) exhibited increased capacity for IgG binding compared with the full-length transmembrane CD32a. Our findings clearly suggest a major role for lipid rafts in the regulation of IgG binding and, more specifically, that suppression of CD32a-mediated IgG binding in myeloid cells is achieved by receptor exclusion from lipid raft membrane microdomains.

Abstract
Neutrophil cell death plays a crucial role in neutrophil homeostasis and the resolution of inflammation. The superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase is involved in pathogen degradation and subsequent activation of cell death programs. Neutrophils from patients with chronic granulomatous disease, who have a deficient NADPH oxidase activity, have been demonstrated previously to have a prolonged lifespan, suggesting that a basal NADPH oxidase activity also regulates spontaneous neutrophil turnover. The NADPH oxidase inhibitor parabutoporin (PP) does delay spontaneous apoptosis, but this effect is completely independent of NADPH oxidase inhibition. Instead, the prosurvival effect of PP depends on activation of protein kinase B/Akt via lipid raft signaling. Disruption of lipid rafts abrogates the prosurvival effect without interfering with NADPH oxidase activity. Furthermore, we cannot detect a different rate of spontaneous apoptosis between normal and NADPH oxidase-deficient neutrophils, arguing against a role of NADPH oxidase in spontaneous neutrophil apoptosis.

Abstract
The aggregation of cell surface Fc receptors by immune complexes induces a number of important antibody-dependent effector functions. It is becoming increasingly evident that the organization of key immune proteins has a significant impact on the function of these proteins. Comparatively little is known, however, about the nature of Fc receptor spatiotemporal organization. This review outlines the current literature concerning human Fc receptor spatial organization and physiological function.

Abstract
We studied an involvement of various cellular ceramide pools in signaling of immunoreceptor Fc gamma II (Fc gamma RII). The cell surface ceramide level was assessed by a technique based on binding of ceramide probes to intact cells. Total cellular ceramide was estimated by radioactive measurements. The activity of sphingomyelinases was measured by NBD-ceramide release while immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting were applied to analyze protein tyrosine phosphorylation. A complex pattern of protein phosphorylation was found to accompany Fc gamma RII activation and the phosphorylation was either diminished by imipramine or increased by B13, modulators of acid sphingomyelinase and acid ceramidase activity. The effects of the drugs on the phosphorylation of Fc gamma RII and NTAL were prominent and correlated with a reduction of the cell surface ceramide production by imipramine and an augmentation of the ceramide generation by B13. The ceramide generation followed activation of acid sphingomyelinase and preceded that of neutral sphingomyelinase. The level of cell surface ceramide was additionally elevated by exogenous bacterial sphingomyelinase, but only at later stages of the receptor activation. The total mass of ceramide was diminished in the course of receptor activation pointing to an engagement of enzymes metabolizing ceramide. The data indicate that Fc gamma RII activates enzymes of the sphingomyelin cycle which affect various sphingomyelin/ceramide pools in a cell.

Abstract
ALI/ARDS (acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome) is a severe inflammatory lung disease associated with very high mortality. Importantly, no effective therapy has been developed to date for ALI/ARDS. Neutrophils have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, and IL-8 (interleukin-8) has been identified as the main chemotactic factor for neutrophils in lung fluids of patients with ALI/ARDS. Significantly, studies from our laboratory have revealed the presence of anti-IL-8 autoantibody:IL-8 immune complexes in lung fluids from patients with ALI/ARDS. Autoantibodies to several cytokines, including IL-8, have been found in human plasma and other tissues. The function of anticytokine autoantibodies is far from clear; however, in some instances, it has been suggested that such autoantibodies may contribute to the pathogenesis of variety of human diseases. In addition, many of these autoantibodies can form immune complexes with target cytokines. Furthermore, immune complexes consisting of anti-IL-8 autoantibodies and IL-8 are very stable due to the high affinity of autoantibodies against IL-8. These complexes are present in various human tissues, including the lung, as they have been detected in lung fluids from patients with ALI/ARDS. In this review, the significance of the latter findings are explored, and the possible involvement of anti-IL-8 autoantibody:IL-8 immune complexes in pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS is discussed.

Abstract
In order to search for novel components of lipid membrane microdomains involved in neural signalling pathways, mAbs (monoclonal antibodies) were raised against the detergent-insoluble membrane fraction of PC12 (pheochromocytoma) cells. Among the 22 hybrid clones, mAb PR#1 specifically detected a fucoganglioside Fuc(Gal)-GM1 [a-fucosyl(a-galactosyl)-GM1], a ganglioside homologous with GM1a (II3NeuAc,GgOse4Cer), as a novel member of microdomain components with biological functions. In the presence of mAb PR#1 in the culture medium, the outgrowth of neurites was induced in PC12 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with no effects on cell proliferation, suggesting that Fuc(Gal)-GM1 is preferentially involved in PC12 cell neuritogenesis. Effects through Fuc(Gal)-GM1 were different from those through GM1a during differentiation, e.g. under PR#1 treatment on Fuc(Gal)-GM1, round cell bodies with thinner cell processes were induced, whereas treatment with CTB (cholera toxin B subunit), a specific probe for GM1a, produced flattened cell bodies with thicker pro-cesses. Molecular analysis demonstrated that the PR#1-Fuc(Gal)-GM1 pathway was associated with Fyn and Yes of the Src family of kinases, although Src itself was not involved. No association was found with TrkA (tropomyosin receptor kinase A) and ERKs (extracellular-signal-regulated kinases), which are responsible for GM1a-induced differentiation. From these findings, it is suggested that a fucoganglioside Fuc(Gal)-GM1 provides a functional platform distinct from that of GM1a for signal transduction in PC12 cell differentiation.

Abstract
In specific cell types infected with the alphaherpesviruses herpes simplex virus and pseudorabies virus (PRV), addition of virus-specific antibodies results in redistribution of cell-surface-anchored viral proteins. This redistribution is triggered by the viral protein gE and consists of the directional movement of the antibody-antigen complexes to one pole of the cell. This viral capping process has been associated with increased antibody-resistant virus spread and strongly resembles immunoreceptor capping, a process that is crucial in activation of different immune cells (e.g. capping of Fcgamma-receptors, B and T cell receptors). Here, we report that the PRV gE-mediated viral capping process results in increased Src kinase-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of gE and that a fraction of gE associates with lipid rafts, all very reminiscent of immunoreceptor capping. These results provide evidence that gE-mediated capping is a viral mimicry of immunoreceptor capping.

Abstract
Many immunoreceptors have been reported to associate with lipid rafts upon ligand binding. The way in which this association is regulated is still obscure. We investigated the roles for various domains of the human immunoreceptor FcgammaRIIA in regulating its association with lipid rafts by determining the resistance of unligated, or ligated and cross-linked, receptors to solubilization by the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, when expressed in RBL-2H3 cells. Deletion of the cytoplasmic domain, or destruction of the cytoplasmic palmitoylation site, had no effect on the association of the receptor with lipid rafts. A transmembrane mutant, A224S, lost the ability to associate with lipid rafts upon receptor cross-linking, whereas transmembrane mutants VA231-2MM and VVAL234-7GISF showed constitutive lipid raft association. Wild-type (WT) FcgammaRIIA and all transmembrane mutants activated Syk, regardless of their association with lipid rafts. WT FcgammaRIIA and mutants that associated with lipid rafts efficiently activated NF-kappaB, in an ERK-dependent manner. In contrast, WT FcgammaRIIA and the A224S mutant both presented efficient phagocytosis, while VA231-2MM and VVAL234-7GISF mutants presented lower phagocytosis, suggesting that phagocytosis may proceed independently of lipid raft association. These data identify the transmembrane domain of FcgammaRIIA as responsible for regulating its inducible association with lipid rafts and suggest that FcgammaRIIA-mediated responses, like NF-kappaB activation or phagocytosis, can be modulated by lipid raft association of the ligated receptor.

Abstract
Fcgamma receptor (FcgammaR)-mediated entry of infectious dengue virus immune complexes into monocytes/macrophages is hypothesized to be a key event in the pathogenesis of complicated dengue fever. FcgammaRIA (CD64) and FcgammaRIIA (CD32), which predominate on the surface of such dengue virus-permissive cells, were compared for their influence on the infectivity of dengue 2 virus immune complexes formed with human dengue virus antibodies. A signaling immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) incorporated into the accessory gamma-chain subunit that associates with FcgammaRIA and constitutively in FcgammaRIIA is required for phagocytosis mediated by these receptors. To determine whether FcgammaRIA and FcgammaRIIA activation functions are also required for internalization of infectious dengue virus immune complexes, we generated native and signaling-incompetent versions of each receptor by site-directed mutagenesis of ITAM tyrosine residues. Plasmids designed to express these receptors were transfected into COS-7 cells, and dengue virus replication was measured by plaque assay and flow cytometry. We found that both receptors mediated enhanced dengue virus immune complex infectivity but that FcgammaRIIA appeared to do so far more effectively. Abrogation of FcgammaRIA signaling competency, either by expression without gamma-chain or by coexpression with gamma-chain mutants, was associated with significant impairment of phagocytosis and of dengue virus immune complex infectivity. Abrogation of FcgammaRIIA signaling competency was also associated with equally impaired phagocytosis but had no discernible effect on dengue virus immune complex infectivity. These findings point to fundamental differences between FcgammaRIA and FcgammaRIIA with respect to their immune-enhancing capabilities and suggest that different mechanisms of dengue virus immune complex internalization may operate between these FcgammaRs.

Abstract
Ligand-dependent aggregation of FcgammaRIIa initiates multiple biochemical processes including the translocation to detergent resistant membrane domains (DRMs) and receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. Palmitoylation of cysteine residues is considered to be one process that assists in the localisation of proteins to DRMs. Within the juxtamembrane region of FcgammaRIIa there is cysteine residue (C208) that we show to be palmitoylated. Mutation of this cysteine residue results in the disruption of FcgammaRIIa translocation to DRMs as empirically defined by insolubility at high Triton X-100 concentrations. This study also demonstrates that the lack of lipid raft association diminishes FcgammaRIIa signaling as measured by receptor phosphorylation and calcium mobilisation functions suggesting that FcgammaRIIa signaling is partially dependent on lipid rafts.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids and cholesterol are principal components of plasmamembrane microdomains, i.e. lipid rafts. Recent studies revealed the possible presence of a variety of microdomains that distinctly differ in terms of their molecular composition and functions. To understand their precise structures and functions, we produced monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) by immunizing mice to the microdomains prepared from a fraction of detergent-insoluble membrane (DIM) of HL60 cells. Biochemical characterization of the antigen epitopes led to classification of the MAbs into two groups. One group consists of MAbs that react with lipids such as phosphatidylglucoside, lysophosphatidylinositol, and gangliosides (GM1a and GD1b), and the other consists of MAbs that react with proteins such as annexin I, aminopeptidase N and acrogranin. Immunofluorescence staining of HL60 cells with the MAbs, except for the MAbs that recognize lysophosphatidylinositol or annexin I, resulted in patchy-like images of the cell membranes. Interestingly, MAbs belonging to the former group had the potential to induce cell proliferation/differentiation in vitro. Our MAbs against the DIM fraction of HL60 cells can be valuable tools for the study of membrane microdomains.

Abstract
CD16b is unique in that it is the only Fc receptor linked to the plasma membrane by a GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol) anchor. GPI-anchored proteins often preferentially localize to DRMs (detergent-resistant membranes) that are rich in sphingolipids and cholesterol and play an important role in signal transduction. Even though the responses to CD16b engagement have been intensively investigated, the importance of DRM integrity for CD16b signalling has not been characterized in human neutrophils. We provide direct evidence that CD16b constitutively partitions with both low- and high-density DRMs. Moreover, upon CD16b engagement, a significant increase in the amount of the receptor is observed in high-density DRMs. Similarly to CD16b, CD11b also resides in low- and high-density DRMs. In contrast with CD16b, the partitioning of CD11b in DRMs does not change in response to CD16b engagement. We also provide evidence for the implication of Syk in CD16b signalling and its partitioning to DRMs in resting and activated PMNs (polymorphonuclear neutrophils). Additionally, DRM-disrupting agents, such as nystatin and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, alter cellular responses to CD16b receptor ligation. Notably, a significant increase in the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and in tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular substrates after CD16b engagement is observed. Altogether, the results of this study provide evidence that high-density DRMs play a role in CD16b signalling in human neutrophils.

Abstract
Within the plasma membranes of many different cell types, certain membrane lipids, including cholesterol and sphingolipids, form lateral assemblies surrounded by unsaturated glycerophospholipids. The concentration of such membrane lipids and associated proteins results in the formation of microdomains termed lipid rafts" (or glycolipid-enriched membranes or detergent-insoluble glycosphingolipid-enriched domains). Proteins that possess saturated acyl chains are generally associated with lipid rafts. Lipid rafts are believed to be involved in a number of cellular processes including cell activation. When material is limiting, raft-associated proteins may be identified on single cells using microscopy. This unit describes the application of this technique in an immunological example, examining the location and movement of signal transduction complexes in single T lymphocytes and in interactive conjugates between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs).

Abstract
A new erythroblastic leukemia cell line (EEB) was established from a patient with early erythroblastic leukemia. The cells had features of immature erythroblasts, including an agranular basophilic cytoplasm and CD36, CD71, CD175s (sialyl-Tn) and CD235a (glycophorin A) expression without CD41 expression, myeloperoxidase activity and platelet-peroxidase activity. The cells were confirmed to be of the erythroid lineage based on expression of the gamma-globin message. They were induced to differentiate into benzidine-positive cells by hemin and delta-amino levulinic acid (delta-ALA). An analysis of cell membrane lipids showed that EEB cells contain a type of glycerolipid, phosphatidylglucose (PhGlc), but not unbranched type 2 chains, i antigens. GL-7 which is a recombinant Fab fragment of GL-2 and binds to PhGlc, induced production of hemoglobin F (HbF) associated with accumulation of the gamma-globin (gamma-globin) message in EEB cells. The GL-7-mediated erythroid differentiation was associated with apoptosis. These results suggest that direct signaling to PhGlc mediates erythroid differentiation and apoptosis in EEB cells.

Abstract
The superoxide-producing phagocyte NADPH oxidase consists of a membrane-bound flavocytochrome b(558), the cytosol factors p47(phox), p67(phox), p40(phox), and the small GTPase Rac2, which translocate to the membrane to assemble the active complex following neutrophil activation. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) does not activate NADPH oxidase, but potentiates the oxidative burst induced by stimuli such as formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) via a priming mechanism. The effect of IL-8 on the components of NADPH oxidase during the priming process has never been investigated in human neutrophils. Here we showed that within 3 min, IL-8 treatment enhanced the Btk- and ERK1/2-dependent phosphorylation of p47(phox), as well as the recruitment of flavocytochrome b(558), p47(phox), and Rac2 into cholesterol-enriched detergent-resistant microdomains (or lipid rafts). Conversely, IL-8 treatment lasting 15 min failed to recruit flavocytochrome b(558), p47(phox), or Rac2, but did enhance the Btk- and p38 MAPK-dependent phosphorylation and the translocation of p67(phox) into detergent-resistant microdomains. Moreover, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, which disrupts lipid rafts, inhibited IL-8-induced priming in response to fMLP. Our findings indicate that IL-8-induced priming of the oxidative burst in response to fMLP involves a sequential assembly of the NADPH oxidase components in the lipid rafts of neutrophils.

Abstract
Two main isoforms of Fcgamma receptor II (CD 32) have been described in humans: activatory FcgammaRIIA and inhibitory FcgammaRIIB. We have previously reported that B cells from a subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) patients express not only FcgammaRIIB, as normal B lymphocytes, but also the myeloid FcgammaRIIA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the signaling capacity of both FcgammaRII isoforms in B-CLL cells. We found that FcgammaRIIA expressed by leukemic cells failed to induce Ca(2+) mobilization or protein tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting that the receptor is not functional. By contrast, FcgammaRIIB effectively diminished BCR-triggered ERK 1 phosphorylation, which indicates that it is able to transduce inhibitory signals in B-CLL cells. Moreover, we found that FcgammaRIIB homoaggregation in either B-CLL or non-malignant tonsillar B cells did not result in apoptosis as was reported for murine B splenocytes. Together, these results show that FcgammaRIIB, but not FcgammaRIIA is biologically active in B-CLL cells and might influence leukemic cell physiology in vivo.

Abstract
The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase is part of the microbicidal arsenal used by human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) to eradicate invading pathogens. The production of a superoxide anion (O2-) into the phagolysosome is the precursor for the generation of more potent products, such as hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite. However, this production of O2- is dependent on translocation of the oxidase subunits, including gp91phox, p22phox, p47phox, p67phox, p40phox, and Rac2 from the cytosol or specific granules to the plasma membrane. In response to an external stimuli, PMNs change from a resting, nonadhesive state to a primed, adherent phenotype, which allows for margination from the vasculature into the tissue and chemotaxis to the site of infection upon activation. Depending on the stimuli, primed PMNs display altered structural organization of the NADPH oxidase, in that there is phosphorylation of the oxidase subunits and/or translocation from the cytosol to the plasma or granular membrane, but there is not the complete assembly required for O2- generation. Activation of PMNs is the complete assembly of the membrane-linked and cytosolic NADPH oxidase components on a PMN membrane, the plasma or granular membrane. This review will discuss the individual components associated with the NADPH oxidase complex and the function of each of these units in each physiologic stage of the PMN: rested, primed, and activated.

Abstract
Fc gammaR mediate the phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles and the clearance of IgG immune complexes. By dissecting binding from internalization of the particles, we found that the binding stage, rather than particle internalization, triggered tyrosine phosphorylation of Fc gammaR and accompanying proteins. High amounts of Lyn kinase were found to associate with particles isolated at the binding stage from J774 cells. PP2 (4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine), an Src kinase inhibitor, but not piceatannol, an inhibitor of Syk kinase, reduced the amount of Lyn associated with the bound particles and simultaneously diminished the binding of IgG-coated particles. Studies of baby hamster kidney cells transfected with wild-type and mutant Fc gammaRIIA revealed that the ability of the receptor to bind particles was significantly reduced when phosphorylation of the receptor was abrogated by Y298F substitution in the receptor signaling motif. Under these conditions, binding of immune complexes of aggregated IgG was depressed to a lesser extent. A similar effect was exerted on the binding ability of wild-type Fc gammaRIIA by PP2. Moreover, expression of mutant kinase-inactive Lyn K275R inhibited both Fc gammaRIIA phosphorylation and IgG-opsonized particle binding. To gain insight into the mechanism by which protein tyrosine phosphorylation can control Fc gammaR-mediated binding, we investigated the efficiency of clustering of wild-type and Y298F-substituted Fc gammaRIIA upon binding of immune complexes. We found that a lack of Fc gammaRIIA phosphorylation led to an impairment of receptor clustering. The results indicate that phosphorylation of Fc gammaR and accompanying proteins, dependent on Src kinase activity, facilitates the clustering of activated receptors that is required for efficient particle binding.

Recruitment of the cross-linked opsonic receptor CD32A (FcgammaRIIA) to high-density detergent-resistant membrane domains in human neutrophils. Biochem J 2004; 381:919-28.

Abstract
We have previously shown that CD32A (or FcgammaRIIA), one of the main opsonin receptors, was rapidly insolubilized and degraded in intact neutrophils after its cross-linking. In view of these experimental difficulties, the early signalling steps in response to CD32A activation were studied in purified plasma membranes of neutrophils. After CD32A cross-linking in these fractions, the tyrosine phosphorylation of two major substrates, the receptor itself and the tyrosine kinase Syk, was observed. Phosphorylation of these two proteins was observed only in the presence of orthovanadate, indicating the presence, in the membranes, of one or more tyrosine phosphatases that maintain CD32A dephosphorylation. The tyrosine phosphorylation of these two proteins was inhibited by the Src kinase inhibitor, 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2). The ligation of CD32A led to its recruitment to a previously uncharacterized subset of high-density flotillin-1-positive DRMs (detergent-resistant membranes). The changes in the solubility properties of CD32A were observed in the absence of added ATP; therefore, they were probably not secondary to the tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor, rather they preceded it. Src kinases as well as Syk were constitutively present in DRMs of high and low density and no evident changes in their distribution were detected after cross-linking of CD32A. Pretreatment of plasma membranes with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin did not inhibit the recruitment of CD32A to DRMs, although it led to the loss of the Src kinase Lyn from these fractions. In addition, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin inhibited the tyrosine phosphorylation of CD32A and Syk induced by cross-linking of CD32A. This membrane model allowed us to observe a movement of CD32A from detergent-soluble regions of the membranes to DRMs, where it joined Src kinases and Syk and became tyrosine-phosphorylated.

Abstract
The spatial targeting of receptors to discrete domains within the plasma membrane allows their preferential coupling to specific effectors, which is essential for rapid and accurate discrimination of signals. Efficiency of signaling is further increased by protein and lipid segregation within the plasma membrane. We have previously demonstrated the importance of raft-mediated signaling in the regulation of smooth and skeletal muscle cell contraction. Since G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key components in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction-relaxation cycles, it is important to determine whether GPCR signaling is mediated by lipid rafts and raft-associated molecules. Neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) is expressed in central and peripheral nervous system as well as in endothelial and smooth muscle cells and involved in mediation of pain, inflammation, exocrine secretion, and smooth muscle contraction. The NK1 receptor was transiently expressed in HEK293 and HepG2 cell lines and its localization in membrane microdomains investigated using biochemical methods and immunofluorescent labeling. We show that the NK1 receptor, similar to the earlier described beta(2)-adrenergic receptor and G proteins, localizes to lipid rafts and caveolae. Protein kinase C (PKC) is one of the downstream effectors of the NK1 activation. Its active form translocates from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. Upon stimulation of the NK1 receptor with Substance P, the activated PKC relocated to lipid rafts. Using cholesterol extraction and replenishment assays we show that activation of NK1 receptor is dependent on the microarchitecture of the plasma membrane: NK1R-mediated signaling was abolished after cholesterol depletion of the receptor-expressing cells with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. Our results demonstrate that reorganization of the plasma membrane has an effect on the activation of the raft-associated NK1R and the down-stream events such as recruitment of protein kinases.

Abstract
Despite the role of sphingolipid/cholesterol rafts as signaling platforms for Fcgamma receptor II (FcgammaRII), the mechanism governing translocation of an activated receptor toward the rafts is unknown. We show that at the onset of FcgammaRII cross-linking acid sphingomyelinase is rapidly activated. This enzyme is extruded from intracellular compartments to the cell surface, and concomitantly, exofacially oriented ceramide is produced. Both non-raft and, to a lesser extent, raft sphingomyelin pools were hydrolyzed at the onset of FcgammaRII cross-linking. The time course of ceramide production preceded the recruitment of FcgammaRII to rafts and the receptor phosphorylation. Exogenous C(16)-ceramide facilitated clustering of FcgammaRII and its association with rafts. In contrast, inhibition of acid sphingomyelinase diminished both the ceramide generation and clustering of cross-linked FcgammaRII. Under these conditions, tyrosine phosphorylation of FcgammaRII and receptor-accompanying proteins was also reduced. All the inhibitory effects were bypassed by treatment of cells with exogenous ceramide. These data provide evidence that the generation of cell surface ceramide is a prerequisite for fusion of cross-linked FcgammaRII and rafts, which triggers the receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and signaling.

Abstract
Signaling by transmembrane immunoglobulin G (IgG)-Fc receptors (FcgammaRs) in response to ligand involves association with membrane microdomains that contain glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Recent in vitro studies showed enhancement of FcgammaR signaling by forced monoclonal antibody-mediated cocrosslinking with various GPI-anchored proteins. Here, the possibility that GPI-anchored proteins are involved in normal physiologic FcgammaR effector functions in response to a model ligand was studied using myeloid-specific GPI-anchor-deficient mice, generated by Cre-loxP conditional targeting. GPI-anchor-deficient primary myeloid cells exhibited normal FcgammaR expression and binding or endocytosis of IgG-immune complexes (IgG-ICs). Strikingly, after stimulation with IgG-ICs, tumor necrosis factor-alpha release, dendritic cell maturation, and antigen presentation were strongly reduced by GPI-anchor deficiency. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the FcR gamma-chain in response to IgG-IC was impaired in GPI-anchor-deficient cells. Myeloid GPI-anchor deficiency resulted in attenuated in vivo inflammatory processes during IgG-IC-mediated alveolitis. This study provides the first genetic evidence for an essential role of GPI-anchored proteins in physiologic FcgammaR effector functions in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Current biochemical characterization for cholesterol- and glycolipid-rich membrane microdomains largely depends on analysis of detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs). In the present study, we succeeded in separation of DRMs of similar density-based on their electrical charge using free-flow electrophoresis (FFE). After crosslinking of B cell receptor (BCR), mouse splenic B cells were lysed with 1% Brij-58 and the resulting lysate was subjected to sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. The low-density fraction that recovered a part of DRMs containing IgM together with those enriched in GM1a, the Src family protein tyrosine kinase Lyn, and the alpha subunit of inhibitory heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein was further resolved by FFE. FFE separated the former into more cathodally deflected fractions than the latter. In addition, FFE revealed an anodal shift of DRMs containing a transmembrane protein CD38 upon BCR-crosslinking. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of FFE for the charge-based separation of DRMs.

Abstract
Immunoglobulins couple the recognition of invading pathogens with the triggering of potent effector mechanisms for pathogen elimination. Different immunoglobulin classes trigger different effector mechanisms through interaction of immunoglobulin Fc regions with specific Fc receptors (FcRs) on immune cells. Here, we review the structural information that is emerging on three human immunoglobulin classes and their FcRs. New insights are provided, including an understanding of the antibody conformational adjustments that are required to bring effector cell and target cell membranes sufficiently close for efficient killing and signal transduction to occur. The results might also open up new possibilities for the design of therapeutic antibodies.

Abstract
A significant fraction of IL-8 in lung fluids from patients with the acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with anti-IL-8 autoantibodies (anti-IL-8:IL-8 complexes), and lung fluid concentrations of these complexes correlate with development and outcome of ALI. In this study, we examined whether anti-IL-8:IL-8 complexes exhibit proinflammatory activity in vitro. These complexes were purified from pulmonary edema fluid samples obtained from patients with ALI. First, we found that IL-8 bound to the autoantibody retained its ability to trigger chemotaxis of neutrophils, whereas control antibody did not have significant chemotactic activity. Next, we examined the ability of anti-IL-8:IL-8 complexes to induce neutrophil activation, i.e., neutrophil respiratory burst and degranulation. Anti-IL-8:IL-8 complexes triggered superoxide and myeloperoxidase release from human neutrophils, and in contrast, the control antibody had no effect. We also demonstrated that IgG receptor, FcgammaRIIa, is the receptor involved in cellular activation mediated by these complexes. Blockade of FcgammaRIIa completely reverses activity of the complexes with the exception of chemotaxis. Both FcgammaRIIa and IL-8 receptors mediate chemotactic activity of anti-IL-8:IL-8 complexes, with FcgammaRIIa being, however, a predominant receptor. Furthermore, activity of the complexes is partially dependent on the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases, i.e., ERK and p38, important components of the FcgammaRIIa signaling cascade. Anti-IL-8:IL-8 complexes may therefore be involved in the pathogenesis of lung inflammation in clinical acute lung injury.

Abstract
The integrity of lipid microdomains is disrupted after cell treatment with cholesterol-depleting reagents, such as methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MCD). We investigated the roles of lipid microdomains in the regulation of intracellular signaling events and functional responses in isolated human neutrophils. Treatment of neutrophils with MCD caused inhibition of intracellular calcium increase evoked by interleukin-8 (IL-8) or low concentrations of formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP). No significant decrease of the initial peak of the calcium response was measured when neutrophils were stimulated with 100 nM or higher concentrations of fMLP. MCD inhibited the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) induced by IL-8 or lower concentrations of fMLP. However, Erk phosphorylation evoked by higher concentrations of fMLP was only slightly affected. MCD treatment increased phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase and caused strong up-regulation of both CD11b and CD66b in resting neutrophils. Cholesterol depletion greatly inhibited IL-8-induced elastase release but had little effect of fMLP-induced degranulation. Our study brings evidence suggesting that lipid microdomains are critically required for the signaling events triggered by IL-8. Calcium mobilization and elastase release induced by WKYMVM, a selective agonist for formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1), were significantly inhibited by MCD, suggesting that the resistance of fMLP-mediated responses to MCD is not related to the partition of receptor subtypes to lipid microdomains. It is more probable that cholesterol depletion interferes with the ability of different G proteins to couple to their corresponding receptors and this might account for the differential effects of MCD treatment on chemoattractant-induced effects in human neutrophils.

Abstract
The effect of agents disrupting cholesterol-rich microdomains of the cell membrane was studied on the chemoattractant receptor (FPR and FRPL1) coupled effector responses of promyelocytic PLB-985 cells. Both methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) and filipin III inhibited exocytosis of primary granules and O(2)(.-) production induced by stimulation of either chemotactic receptor. Alteration of calcium homeostasis of MbetaCD-treated cells does not account for the impairment of the effector responses. Disruption of microfilaments by cytochalasin B (CB) partially reverses the inhibitory effect of cholesterol depletion. Our results provide functional support for the involvement of cholesterol-rich membrane domains in the signaling of chemotactic receptors and call the attention to the possible role of microfilaments in the organization of lipid microdomains.

Abstract
We have investigated the contribution of lipid rafts to activation of the NADPH oxidase enzyme system in neutrophils. Membrane-bound NADPH oxidase subunits are present in the lipid raft compartment of neutrophils. Cytosolic NADPH oxidase components are mainly absent from but are recruited to rafts upon Fcgamma receptor activation. In parallel, protein kinase C isotypes are recruited to the rafts. Kinetic analysis of NADPH oxidase activation revealed that rafts determine the onset but not the maximal rate of enzyme activity. Thus lipid rafts serve to physically juxtapose the NADPH oxidase effector, protein kinase C and Fcgamma receptor, resulting in efficient coupling.

Abstract
Glycosphingolipids form glycosphingolipid signaling microdomains. Here, we report an unrecognized type of phosphatidylglucoside (PhGlc)-based lipid microdomain in HL60 cells. Treatment of cells with rGL-7, which preferentially reacts with PhGlc, induced differentiation of HL60 cells. This was manifested by the appearance of nitroblue tetrazolium-positive cells together with CD38 expression and c-Myc down-regulation. We determined the molecular mechanisms underlying early stages of signal transduction. rGL-7 treatment induced rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of Src family protein kinases Lyn and Hck. Reduction of endogenous cholesterol after application of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin suppressed rGL-7-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation. Phosphorylated proteins and PhGlc colocalized in the Triton X-100 insoluble, light buoyant density fraction after sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation of HL60 cell lysates. This suggests PhGlc-based microdomain is involved in GL-7 signaling. Ligation of known components of microdomains, such as sphingomyelin and ganglioside GM1, with corresponding antibodies failed to induce differentiation and tyrosine phosphorylation. These results show that PhGlc constitutes a previously undescribed lipid signaling domain, and the glucose residue of PhGlc is critical for organization of the carbohydrate-dependent signaling domain involved in cellular differentiation of HL60 cells.

Abstract
Plasma membrane rafts are routinely isolated as detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) floating in detergent-free density gradients. Here we show that both the presence and exclusion of TX-100 during the density gradient fractionation have profound effects on the location of FcgammaRII and TCR in DRM fractions. The presence of TX-100 during fractionation promoted solubilization of non-cross-linked FcgammaRII when the receptor was insufficiently dissolved upon cell lysis. In the detergent-supplemented gradients, TX-100 micelles floated, further enhancing dissociation of FcgammaRII and TCR from DRMs and promoting a shift of the receptors toward higher-density fractions. Hence, fractionation of cell lysates over the detergent-containing gradients enables isolation of DRMs devoid of weakly associated proteins, like nonactivated FcgammaRII and TCR. On the other hand, in a detergent-free gradient, non-cross-linked FcgammaRII, fully soluble in 0.2% TX-100, was recovered in DRM fractions. Moreover, employment of the TX-100-free gradient for refractionation of intermediate-density fractions, derived from detergent-supplemented gradients and containing FcgammaRII and TCR, resulted in flotation of the receptors to buoyant fractions. An analysis of the TX-100 concentration revealed that after fractionation of 0.2% TX-100 cell lysates in the absence of detergent, the level of TX-100 in DRM fractions was reduced to 0.01%, below the critical micelle concentration. Therefore, fractionation of detergent cell lysates over detergent-free gradients can mimic conditions for a membrane reconstitution, evoking association of a distinct subset of membrane proteins, including FcgammaRII and TCR, with DRMs.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) mediate recognition of a wide range of microbial products including lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins, flagellin, and bacterial DNA, and signaling through TLRs leads to the production of inflammatory mediators. In addition to TLRs, many other surface receptors have been proposed to participate in innate immunity and microbial recognition, and signaling through some of these receptors is likely to cooperate with TLR signaling in defining inflammatory responses. In this report we have examined how dectin-1, a lectin family receptor for beta-glucans, collaborates with TLRs in recognizing microbes. Dectin-1, which is expressed at low levels on macrophages and high levels on dendritic cells, contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-like signaling motif that is tyrosine phosphorylated upon activation. The receptor is recruited to phagosomes containing zymosan particles but not to phagosomes containing immunoglobulin G-opsonized particles. Dectin-1 expression enhances TLR-mediated activation of nuclear factor kappa B by beta-glucan-containing particles, and in macrophages and dendritic cells dectin-1 and TLRs are synergistic in mediating production of cytokines such as interleukin 12 and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Additionally, dectin-1 triggers production of reactive oxygen species, an inflammatory response that is primed by TLR activation. The data demonstrate that collaborative recognition of distinct microbial components by different classes of innate immune receptors is crucial in orchestrating inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Detergent-resistant membrane microdomains enriched in sphingolipids, cholesterol and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins play essential roles in T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. These 'membrane rafts' accumulate several cytoplasmic lipid-modified molecules, including Src-family kinases, coreceptors CD4 and CD8 and transmembrane adapters LAT and PAG/Cbp, essential for either initiation or amplification of the signaling process, while most other abundant transmembrane proteins are excluded from these structures. TCRs in various T cell subpopulations may differ in their use of membrane rafts. Membrane rafts also seem to be involved in many other aspects of T cell biology, such as functioning of cytokine and chemokine receptors, adhesion molecules, antigen presentation, establishing cell polarity or interaction with important pathogens. Although the concept of membrane rafts explains several diverse biological phenomena, many basic issues, such as composition, size and heterogeneity, under native conditions, as well as the dynamics of their interactions with TCRs and other immunoreceptors, remain unclear, partially because of technical problems.

Abstract
Activation of Fcgamma receptor II (FcgammaRII) induces rearrangement of the actin-based cytoskeleton that serves as a driving force for FcgammaRII-mediated phagocytosis and FcgammaRII capping. To get insight into the signaling events that lead to the actin reorganization we investigated the role of raft-associated Src family tyrosine kinases in capping of FcgammaRII in U937 cells. After crosslinking, FcgammaRII was found to be recruited to detergent-resistant membrane domains (DRMs), rafts, where it coexisted with Lyn kinase and underwent tyrosine phosphorylation. Lyn was displaced from DRMs under the influence of DL-alpha-hydroxymyristic acid and 2-bromopalmitic acid, agents blocking N-terminal myristoylation and palmitoylation of proteins, respectively, and after disruption of DRM integrity by depletion of plasma membrane cholesterol with beta-cyclodextrin. Under these conditions, phosphorylation of the crosslinked FcgammaRII was diminished and assembly of FcgammaRII caps was blocked. The similar reduction of FcgammaRII cap formation correlated with inhibition of receptor phosphorylation was achieved with the use of PP1 and herbimycin A, specific inhibitors of Src family tyrosine kinases. Phosphorylation of FcgammaRIIA expressed in BHK cells, lacking endogenous FcgammaRs, was abolished by substitution of tyrosine 298 by phenylalanine in the ITAM of the receptor. The mutant receptor did not undergo translocation towards cap-like structures and failed to promote the receptor-mediated spreading of the cells, as compared to BHK cells transfected with the wild-type FcgammaRIIA. On the basis of these data, we suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of activated FcgammaRIIA by raft-residing tyrosine kinases of the Src family triggers signaling pathways that control the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton required for FcgammaRII-mediated motility.

Abstract
Recent data indicate that phagocytosis mediated by FcgammaRs is controlled by the Src and Syk families of protein tyrosine kinases. In this study, we demonstrate a sequential involvement of Lyn and Syk in the phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles. The particles isolated at the stage of their binding to FcgammaRs (4 degrees C) were accompanied by high amounts of Lyn, in addition to the signaling gamma-chain of FcgammaRs. Simultaneously, the particle binding induced rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous proteins. During synchronized internalization of the particles induced by shifting the cell to 37 degrees C, Syk kinase and Src homology 2-containing tyrosine phosphatase-1 (SHP-1) were associated with the formed phagosomes. At this step, most of the proteins were dephosphorylated, although some underwent further tyrosine phosphorylation. Quantitative immunoelectron microscopy studies confirmed that Lyn accumulated under the plasma membrane beneath the bound particles. High amounts of the gamma-chain and tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were also observed under the bound particles. When the particles were internalized, the gamma-chain was still detected in the region of the phagosomes, while amounts of Lyn were markedly reduced. In contrast, the vicinity of the phagosomes was heavily decorated with anti-Syk and anti-SHP-1 Abs. The local level of protein tyrosine phosphorylation was reduced. The data indicate that the accumulation of Lyn during the binding of IgG-coated particles to FcgammaRs correlated with strong tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous proteins, suggesting an initiating role for Lyn in protein phosphorylation at the onset of the phagocytosis. Syk kinase and SHP-1 phosphatase are mainly engaged at the stage of particle internalization.
