Abstract

B cell Ag receptor (BCR) signaling occurs via tyrosine phosphorylation of CD79a and CD79b ITAMs, leading to recruitment and activation of Lyn and Syk tyrosine kinases and subsequent downstream events. CD45 expression is required for BCR triggering of certain of these downstream events, such as calcium mobilization and p21ras activation. However, the site in the BCR signaling cascade at which CD45 impinges is poorly defined. To address this question, we have studied CD45 function in the CD45-deficient (CD45-) and CD45-reconstituted (CD45+) J558L mu m3 plasmacytoma. In both CD45+ and CD45- cells, Ag stimulation led to CD79a and CD79b tyrosine phosphorylation as well as Syk tyrosine phosphorylation, recruitment to the receptors, and activation. In contrast to CD45+ cells, Lyn exhibited high basal tyrosine phosphorylation in the CD45- cells and was not further phosphorylated upon Ag stimulation. Mapping studies indicated that the observed constitutive phosphorylation of Lyn reflects phosphorylation of its C-terminal tyrosine, Y508, at high stoichiometry. Constitutively Y508-phosphorylated Lyn was neither recruited to the BCR nor activated upon Ag stimulation. Moreover, CD79a-ITAM phosphopeptides failed to bind Lyn from the CD45- cells. Thus, Y508 phosphorylation of Lyn occurs in the absence of cellular CD45 expression and appears to render the kinase unable to associate with the phosphorylated receptor complex via its Src homology 2 domain and to participate in signal propagation. Surprisingly, in view of previous findings implicating Src family kinases in ITAM phosphorylation, the data indicate that Ag-induced CD79a and CD79b tyrosine phosphorylation and Syk recruitment and activation can occur in the absence of CD45 expression and, hence, Src-family kinase activation.
