Research Abstract |
Pre B cell receptor (preBCR) is expressed transiently at the early stage of B cell development and plays an important role in B cell differentiation. It remains to be determined what kind of signals are delivered from preBCR to induce B cell differentiation. In this study, we examined the preBCR signal transduction pathway by using a novel system which we have originally developed. We purified and sequenced a 36 kD protein (pp36) that was tyrosine-phosphorylated by preBCR signaling. The cloning of a corresponding cDNA revealed that pp36 is a novel protein with lipid modification at the N-terminal region. Since this lipid modification is know to be essential for proteins to anchor into lipid raft, pp36 appears to play an important role in signal transduction.
