Recent gene-targeting experiments have highlighted the importance of the intracellular protein tyrosine kinases Lyn, Syk, and Btk in BCR signal transduction and B cell development. In addition, the interactions of these kinases and their regulatory mechanisms have been reported. Activation loop phos
The binding of antigens to the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) results in the initiation of signaling cascades and the internalization of the antigens for processing and presentation. Recent studies indicate that antigen binding destabilizes the BCR as a mechanism to down-regulate B cell responses. Tw
During the past year, major progress has been made in understanding proximal TCR signal-transduction events. Cbl has been identified as a negative regulator of kinases from the ZAP-70/Syk family. Studies on LAT, SLP-76, Itk and Vav have revealed their role in the activation of Ras and phospholipase-
