In the capping of cell-surface receptors two stages can be distinguished: 1) clustering of the receptors (patching) induced by cross-linking with specific antibodies and 2) subsequent assembly of patches into a cap which is driven by the actin-based cytoskeleton. We found that patching of Fc␥ recept

Abstract
The LIM‐HD proteins interact with different cofactors, including Ssdp1 to regulate development in a diverse range of species. The single stranded DNA binding protein (Ssdp1) is a member of an evolutionarily conserved family of proteins that regulate critical transcriptional processes during embryonic development. Ssdp1 is localized predominantly in the cytoplasm of 293T cells but is translocated to the nucleus when co‐transfected with Lck, a member of the Src family of non‐receptor tyrosine kinases. The Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2 blocked the nuclear translocation of Ssdp1. Western blot analysis showed that co‐expression of Ssdp1 and Lck in 293T cells induces Ssdp1 phosphorylation. Mutation of the Ssdp1 N terminal tyrosine residues 23 and 25 markedly reduced both the phosphorylation and the nuclear localization of Ssdp1. Lck enhanced the transcriptional activity of Ssdp1 in the context of known components of a LIM‐homeodomain (LIM‐HD)/cofactor complex. We propose that phosphorylation involving N‐terminal tyrosine residues of Ssdp1 is a means of regulating its nuclear localization and subsequent transcriptional activation of LIM‐HD complexes. J.
