receptors of the
IIB1 type (Fc
RIIB1) intersect in ways that are poorly understood at the molecular level. Because the tyrosine kinase Csk is a potential negative regulator of lymphocyte activation, we examined the effects of BCR and Fc
RIIB1 engagement on the binding of Csk to phosphotyrosine-containing proteins. Stimulation of a B lymphoma cell line, A20, with intact anti-IgG
antibody induced a direct, SH2-mediated association between Csk and a 62-kD phosphotyrosine-containing protein that was identified as RasGTPase-activating protein-associated p62
(GAP-A.p62). In contrast, stimulation of A20 cells with anti-IgG F(ab
)2 resulted in little increase in the association of Csk with GAP-A.p62. The effect of Fc
RIIB1 engagement on this
association was abolished by blockade of Fc
RIIB1 with the monoclonal antibody 2.4G2. Furthermore, the increased association between Csk and GAP-A.p62 seen upon stimulation with
intact anti-Ig was abrogated in the Fc
RIIB1-deficient cell line IIA1.6 and recovered when
Fc
RIIB1 expression was restored by transfection. The differential effects of BCR and BCR-Fc
RIIB1-mediated signaling on the phosphorylation of GAP-A.p62 and its association with
Csk suggest that docking of Csk to GAP-A.p62 may function in the negative regulation of antigen receptor-mediated signals in B cells.
