Signaling by Ag to the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) is enhanced by several cooperating signals, including several provided by B-T cell interactions. One of these, CD40, provides critical signals for B cell differentiation, isotype switching, and B cell memory. The molecular mechanisms by which BCR and CD40 signals synergize are not well understood. Although the BCR and CD40 share certain signaling pathways, we hypothesized that unique signals provided by each could provide mutual enhancement of their signaling pathways. The BCR, but not CD40, activates protein kinase D (PKD), while CD40, but not the BCR, employs the TNFR-associated factor (TRAF) adapter proteins in signaling. In this study, we show that genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of BCR-mediated PKD activation in B lymphocytes abrogated the synergy between the CD40 and the BCR, as measured by activation of Ig and cytokine secretion. Interestingly, the role of PKD was dependent upon the association of CD40 with TRAF2, and was inhibited by the binding of TRAF3, revealing a novel functional link between these two classes of signaling molecules.
