The binding of IgE to high-affinity IgE receptors (FcεRI) expressed on the surface of mast cells and basophils initiates a cascade of signaling events that results in the release of a wide array of proinflammatory mediators. In order to limit the intensity and duration of cell activation, FcεRI aggregation has been understood to additionally generate negative signals through the coordinated action of adapters, phosphatases, and ubiquitin ligases. Among them, Cbl family proteins negatively regulate FcεRI-mediated signals mainly by promoting ubiquitination of the activated receptor subunits and associated protein tyrosine kinases. Notably, FcεRI ubiquitination has become recognized as an important signal for the internalization and delivery of engaged receptor complexes to lysosomes for degradation. The surface expression of activated FcεRI complexes is further downregulated through a pathway that is functionally separable from Cbl ligase activity and is dependent on the interaction of Cbl proteins with adapters involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis. In this article, we review recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which Cbl proteins negatively regulate FcεRI-mediated mast cell and basophil functions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D025801 Ubiquitin A highly conserved 76-amino acid peptide universally found in eukaryotic cells that functions as a marker for intracellular PROTEIN TRANSPORT and degradation. Ubiquitin becomes activated through a series of complicated steps and forms an isopeptide bond to lysine residues of specific proteins within the cell. These "ubiquitinated" proteins can be recognized and degraded by proteosomes or be transported to specific compartments within the cell.
