Role of the inositol phosphatase SHIP in negative regulation of the immune system by the receptor Fc(gamma)RIIB

Nature. 1996 Sep 19;383(6597):263-6. doi: 10.1038/383263a0.

Abstract

Immune complexes are potent activators of inflammatory cells, triggering effector responses through the crosslinking of Fc receptors (FcRs) such as Fc(epsilon)RI or Fc(gamma)RIII. On B cells and mast cells, immune complexes are also negative regulators of activation triggered by antigen and Fc receptors, a consequence of coligation of the B-cell antigen receptor or Fc(epsilon)RI, respectively, and the inhibitory receptor Fc(gamma)RIIB. Here we show that inhibitory signalling by Fc(gamma)RIIB does not require the SH2-domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-1, in mast cells and results in the recruitment of the SH2-domain-containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase, SHIP, to the tyrosine-phosphorylated 13-amino-acid inhibitory motif of Fc(gamma)RIIB in both B cells and mast cells. SHIP, by hydrolysing the 5-phosphate of phosphatidylinositol(3,4,5)P3 and inositol(1,3,4,5)P4, suggests a mechanism by which Fc(gamma)RIIB can inhibit calcium influx and downstream responses triggered by immune receptors.
