Research Abstract |
We have prepared 28 Cys mutants spanning the transmembrane domain of FcgRIIA, stably expressed in human B cells, and the cells were analyzed for Cys crosslinking under unligated, and ligated conditions. We identified unexpectedly complicated TMD assembly and reassembly mechanisms under resting, and activated conditions, and these structural alterations are all responsible for the signal stabilization, and the signal activation. We extrapolated the findings in FcgRIIA to FcgRIIB I232T autoimmune disease promoting polymorphism, and found that the amino acid substitution does alter the mode of the TMD association.
