Mature B cells express IgM and IgD immunoglobulins which are complexed at the plasma membrane with Ig-alpha (CD79A, MB-1) and Ig-beta (CD79B, B29) to form the B cell receptor (BCR) (Fu et al. 1974, Fu et al. 1975, Kunkel et al. 1975, Van Noesel et al. 1992, Sanchez et al. 1993, reviewed in Brezski and Monroe 2008). Binding of antigen to the immunoglobulin activates phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) in the cytoplasmic tails of Ig-alpha and Ig-beta by Src family tyrosine kinases, including LYN, FYN, and BLK (Nel et al. 1984, Yamanashi et al. 1991, Flaswinkel and Reth 1994, Saouaf et al. 1994, Hata et al. 1994, Saouaf et al. 1995, reviewed in Gauld and Cambier 2004, reviewed in Harwood and Batista 2010). The protein kinase SYK binds the phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-activated motifs (ITAMs) on the cytoplasmic tails of Ig-alpha (CD79A, MB-1) and Ig-beta (CD79B, B29) (Wienands et al. 1995, Rowley et al. 1995, Tsang et al. 2008). The binding causes the activation and autophosphorylation of SYK (Law et al. 1994, Baldock et al. 2000, Irish et al. 2006, Tsang et al. 2008, reviewed in Bradshaw 2010). Activated SYK and other kinases phosphorylate BLNK (SLP-65), BCAP, and CD19 which serve as scaffolds for the assembly of large complexes, the signalosomes, by recruiting phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma (predominantly PLC-gamma2 in B cells, Coggeshall et al. 1992), NCK, BAM32, BTK, VAV1, and SHC. The effectors are phosphorylated by SYK and other kinases. PLC-gamma associated with BLNK hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to yield inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (Carter et al. 1991, Kim et al. 2004). IP3 binds receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum and causes release of calcium ions from the ER into the cytosol. The depletion of calcium from the ER in turn activates STIM1 to interact with ORAI and TRPC1 channels in the plasma membrane, resulting in an influx of extracellular calcium ions (Muik et al. 2008, Luik et al. 2008, Park et al. 2009, Mori et al. 2002). PI3K associated with BCAP and CD19 phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to yield phosphatidyinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Second messengers (calcium, diacylglycerol, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate) trigger signaling pathways: NF-kappaB is activated via protein kinase C beta, RAS is activated via RasGRP proteins, NF-AT is activated via calcineurin, and AKT (PKB) is activated via PDK1 (reviewed in Shinohara and Kurosaki 2009, Stone 2006).

TAK1 and the IKK complex are observed to migrate to lipid rafts containing phosphorylated CARMA1, BCL10, and MALT1. By analogy with NF-kappaB signaling pathways in other cells, the CARMA1:BCL10MALT1:TAK1:IKK complex in B cells may also contain TAB1, TAB2 and/or TAB3, TRAF6.

Signaling by AKT is one of the key outcomes of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation. AKT is activated by the cellular second messenger PIP3, a phospholipid that is generated by PI3K. In ustimulated cells, PI3K class IA enzymes reside in the cytosol as inactive heterodimers composed of p85 regulatory subunit and p110 catalytic subunit. In this complex, p85 stabilizes p110 while inhibiting its catalytic activity. Upon binding of extracellular ligands to RTKs, receptors dimerize and undergo autophosphorylation. The regulatory subunit of PI3K, p85, is recruited to phosphorylated cytosolic RTK domains either directly or indirectly, through adaptor proteins, leading to a conformational change in the PI3K IA heterodimer that relieves inhibition of the p110 catalytic subunit. Activated PI3K IA phosphorylates PIP2, converting it to PIP3; this reaction is negatively regulated by PTEN phosphatase. PIP3 recruits AKT to the plasma membrane, allowing TORC2 to phosphorylate a conserved serine residue of AKT. Phosphorylation of this serine induces a conformation change in AKT, exposing a conserved threonine residue that is then phosphorylated by PDPK1 (PDK1). Phosphorylation of both the threonine and the serine residue is required to fully activate AKT. The active AKT then dissociates from PIP3 and phosphorylates a number of cytosolic and nuclear proteins that play important roles in cell survival and metabolism. For a recent review of AKT signaling, please refer to Manning and Cantley, 2007.
Phosphorylated SYK phosphorylates BLNK (SLP-65, Fu et al. 1998, Chiu et al. 2002) and BCAP (inferred from mouse, Okada et al. 2000). Effector molecules are then recruited: phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Phospholipase C gamma (predominantly PLC-gamma2 in B cells, Coggeshall et al. 1992), NCK, BAM32, BTK, VAV1, and SHC. The effectors are phosphorylated by SYK and other kinases. As inferred from chicken DT40 cells and mouse B cells (Okada et al. 2000), phosphorylated BCAP recruits PI3K, which is phosphorylated by a SYK-dependent mechanism (Kuwahara et al. 1996) and produces phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 recruits BAM32 (Marshall et al. 2000) and BTK (de Weers et al. 1994, Baba et al. 2001) via their PH domains. PIP3 also recruits and activates PLC-gamma1 and PLC-gamma2 (Bae et al. 1998). BTK binds phosphorylated BLNK via its SH2 domain (Baba et al. 2001). BTK phosphorylates Phospholipase C gamma-2 (Rodriguez et al. 2001), which activates phospholipase activity (Carter et al. 1991, Roifman and Wang 1992, Kim et al. 2004, Sekiya et al. 2004). Phosphorylated BLNK recruits PLC gamma, VAV, GRB2, and NCK (Fu and Chan 1997, Fu et al. 1998, Chiu et al. 2002). SYK phosphorylates SHC which then binds GRB2 (Saxton et al. 1994, Harmer and DeFranco 1997). CD19 in a stable complex with VAV1 is phosphorylated by Src kinases (inferred from mouse, Xu et al. 2002) and possibly by LYN (inferred from mouse, Fujimoto et al. 2000) in response to BCR activation. Phosphorylated CD19 then binds PI3K (Roifman and Ke 1993, Chalupny et al. 1993, Uckun et al. 1993, Weng et al. 1994, Brooks et al. 2000, Brooks et al. 2004) and can bind PLC-gamma2, which competes with VAV1 for the same binding site on CD19 (Brooks et al. 2000, Brooks et al. 2004).
TAK1 and the IKK complex are observed to migrate from the cytosol to lipid rafts containing the CARMA1:BCL10:MALT1 (CBM) complex (Sommer et al. 2005, Shinohara et al. 2005 using chicken cells). By analogy with activation of NF-KappaB signaling in T cells, TAK1 in B cells may also be bound to TAB1 and TAB2 or TAB3, which bind K63-conjugated polyubiquitin on a TRAF protein bound to the CBM complex (reviewed in Shinohara et al. 2009).
CARMA1 is phosphorylated at serines 559, 644, and 652 by Protein Kinase C beta (PKC-beta) (Sommer et al. 2005). CARMA1 is constitutively oligomerized (Tanner et al. 2007) and most CARMA1 in unstimulated cells is cytosolic (Sommer et al. 2005, Tanner et al. 2007), though a portion is constitutively associated with the plasma membrane (Gaide et al. 2002, Sommer et al. 2005). After phosphorylation, CARMA1 is associated with lipid rafts in the plasma membrane (Sommer et al. 2005). Note that some publications refer to CARMA1 with a different N-terminal methionine that is 7 amino acids shorter. In this case the phosphorylated serines are 552, 537, and 645.
PI3K generates phosphoinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) from PIP2 after activation of the BCR (Gold et al. 1992, Chantry et al. 1997). Experiments in mice indicate that PI3K associated with BCAP is partly responsible for the activity (Aiba et al. 2008). (PI3K associated with CD19 is also partly responsible (Aiba et al. 2008).)
Mature, unstimulated B cells express IgM and IgD immunoglobulins on their surfaces (Fu et al. 1974, Fu et al. 1975, reviewed in Kunkel 1975). The immunoglobulins form B cell receptor (BCR) complexes with disulfide-linked heterodimers of Ig-alpha (CD79A) and Ig-beta (CD79B), which have cytoplasmic tails containing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) (van Noesel et al. 1992, Saouaf et al. 1995, inferred from mouse Hombach et al. 1990, Wienands et al. 1990). Upon binding of antigen to the immunoglobulin a chain of phosphorylation events is triggered (Nel et al. 1984, Saouaf et al. 1994, Hata et al. 1994, Saouaf et al. 1995, reviewed in Harwood and Batista 2010).
Phosphorylated, ubiquitinated IkB is degraded by the proteasome (Miyamoto et al. 1994, Traenckner et al. 1994, Alkalay et al. 1995, DiDonato et al. 1995, Li et al. 1995, Lin et al. 1995, Scherer et al. 1995, Chen et al. 1995). IkB does not dissociate from NF-kB before it is proteolyzed (Miyamoto et al. 1994, Traenckner et al. 1994, DiDonato et al. 1995, Lin et al. 1995).
Activated IKK complex phosphorylates the I-kappaB component of the cytoplasmic NF-kappaB complex (Zandi et al. 1998, Burke et al. 1999, Heilker et al. 1999). B cells contain I-kappaB-alpha, I-kappaB-beta, and I-kappaB-epsilon (Whiteside et al. 1997, Li and Nabel 1997).
SKP:Cul:F-box (SCF) complexes containing F-box factors Beta-TrCP1 (BTRCP, E3RSIkappaB) or beta-TrCP2 (BTRCP2, FBXW11, HOS) catalyze the polyubiquitination of IkappaB (Yaron et al. 1998, Fuchs et al. 1999, Suzuki et al. 1999, Tan et al. 1999, Winston et al. 1999, Wu and Ghosh 1999).
As inferred from mouse (Okamura et al. 2000), calcineurin dephosphorylates NFATC2 at 13 serine residues (Batiuk et al. 1997, Kim et al. 2000). B lymphocytes also contain NFATC2 and NFATC3 which are inferred to undergo dephosphorylation at homologous serines. Dephosphorylation of NFATs exposes a nuclear localization signal which cause NFATs to be imported into the nucleus (Kim et al. 2000). In mouse, Calcineurin is observed to also transit into the nucleus in a complex with NFATs and may remain associated (Shibasaki et al. 1996).
TAK1 phosphorylates IKK-beta (Wang et al. 2001). As inferred from chicken B cells, the reaction in human B cells may occur when TAK1 and the IKK complex are associated with the CARMA1:BCL10:MALT1 (CBM) complex. During T cell activation TAK1 forms a complex with TAB1 and TAB2, which binds K-63 conjugated polyubiquitin attached to TRAF6 associated with the CBM complex (Sun et al. 2004, reviewed in Shinohara et al. 2009). TRAF6 also polyubiquitinates IKK-gamma in T cells (Zhou et al. 2004). B cells contain functional TRAF6 and TRAF2 (Zhang et al. 2010) so the same mechanism may occur during activation of B cells.
Calcium activates calcineurin in two ways: binding the regulatory subunit of calcineurin directly and binding calmodulin which then interacts with the catalytic subunit of calcineurin. As inferred from mouse, B lymphocytes contain the R1 regulatory subunit (PPP3R1) and the beta catalytic subunit (PPP3CB). In the presence of calcium and calcium:calmodulin calcineurin binds phosphorylated and unphosphorylated NFATs at 2 regions in the N-terminus (Luo et al. 1996, Garcia-Cozar et al. 1998, Park et al. 2000, evidence from mouse in Loh et al. 1996 and Wesselborg et al. 1996). Calcineurin also weakly interacts with NFATs in the absence of calcium (Garcia-Cozar et al. 1998).
Nf-kappaB subunits contain nuclear localization sequences and, in the absence of IkB, are translocated to the nucleus (Bauerle and Baltimore 1988, Blank et al. 1991, Ghosh et al. 2008, Fagerlund et al. 2008). c-Rel binds to importins alpha5, alpha6, and alpha7; RelB binds to importins alpha5 and alpha6; p52 binds importin alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, and alpha6 (Fagerlund et al. 2008)
The B cell receptor (BCR) comprises an immunoglobulin complexed with a heterodimer of Ig-alpha (CD79A, MB-1) and Ig-beta (CD79B, B29). After immunoglobulin IgM or IgD binds antigen the associated Ig-alpha and Ig-beta are each observed to be phosphorylated at two tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-activated motif (ITAM) (Sanchez et al. 1993, Hata et al. 1994, Saouaf et al. 1994, Saouaf et al. 1995). Saouaf et al. (1995) showed that the kinase Blk could phosphorylate both tyrosines of each ITAM and that the kinase SYK specifically bound phosphorylated but not unphosphorylated ITAMs. In mouse the kinase Lyn and other kinases phosphorylate one tyrosine and Syk is believed to phosphorylate the other (Yamanashi et al. 1991, Flaswinkel and Reth 1994, Rolli et al. 2002).
The SYK protein tyrosine kinase autophosphorylates at tyrosines 131, 323, 348, 352, 525, and 526 (Law et al. 1994, Rowley et al. 1995, Baldock et al. 2000, Irish et al. 2006, Papp et al. 2007, Chen et al. 2008, Tsang et al. 2008). The autophosphorylation increases the kinase activity of SYK. SYK is also phosporylated on additional residues in response to BCR activation (Bohnenberger et al. 2011).
RasGRP1 and RasGRP3 translocate to the plasma membrane where they bind diacylglycerol (Lorenzo et al. 2001) and are phosphorylated (Teixeira et al. 2003, Zheng et al. 2005). Though RasGRP3 is phosphorylated in vitro and in some cell lines (e.g. Ramos cells) by protein kinase C theta (PKC-theta, Zheng et al. 2005), normal B cells do not contain PKC-theta (Meller et al. 1999). Both Rasgrp1 and Rasgrp3 participate in activating Ras in response to BCR signaling in mouse B cells (Coughlin et al. 2005).
Human Protein kinase C beta (PKC-beta) is activated by calcium ions, diacylglycerol, and binds phosphatidylserine (Kochs et al. 1991). Experiments in mice have shown that knocking out PKC-beta causes severe defects in B cells, leading to the conclusion that PKC-beta is the predominant signaling PKC in these cells (Leitges et al. 1996, Su et al. 2002, Saijo et al. 2002).
The SYK protein tyrosine kinase binds specifically to phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-activated motifs (ITAMs) on Ig-alpha (CD79A, MB-1) and Ig-beta (CD79B, B29) (Law et al. 1994, Saouaf et al. 1995, Rowley et al. 1995, Tsang et al. 2008). The binding activates the kinase activity of SYK (Rowley et al. 1995, Tsang et al. 2008).
The polybasic region of STIM1 interacts with 2 aspartate residues in the C-terminal region of TRPC1 (Zeng et al. 2008, Huang et al. 2006). The STIM1:TRPC1 complex can form a tenary complex with ORAI1 (Ong et al. 2007, Jardin et al. 2008) and ORAI participates in function of STIM1:TRPC1 channels (Cheng et al. 2008, Cheng et al. 2011). As inferred from chicken DT40 cells, TRPC1 (and possibly other TRP channels) participates in store-operated calcium influx during signaling by the B cell receptor (Mori et al. 2002).
CARMA1 is phosphorylated and recruits BCL10 and MALT1 to the plasma membrane to form the CBM complex (Sommer et al. 2005, Tanner et al. 2007). Evidence from T cells (Jurkat cells) indicates that MALT1 and BCL10 oligomerize to activate the IKK complex (Zhou 2004).
Phospholipase C gamma (PLC-gamma) is activated by phosphorylation in response to antigen-binding by the B cell receptor (Carter et al. 1991, Roitman and Wang 1992, Rodriguez et al. 2001, Kim et al. 2004, Sekiya et al. 2004). Phospholipase C gamma hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to yield inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol (Carter et al. 1991, Kim et al. 2004). Human B cells contain both PLC-gamma1 and PLC-gamma2, with PLC-gamma2 predominating (Coggeshall et al. 1992).
RasGRP1 (Roose et al. 2007) and RasGRP3 (Ohba et al. 2000, Yamashita et al. 2000, Rebhun et al. 2000, Lorenzo et al. 2001) catalyze the exchange of GDP for GTP bound by RAS.
In the resting state the luminal domain of STIM1 binds Ca2+ ions within the endoplasmic reticulum and this binding prevents dimerization of STIM1 (Luik et al. 2008). Upon depletion of Ca2+ ions from the endoplasmic reticulum, STIM1 is no longer bound to Ca2+ and forms homodimers (Muik et al. 2008, Luik et al. 2008, Park et al. 2009).
PI3K generates phosphoinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) from PIP2 after activation of the BCR (Gold et al. 1992). Experiments in mice indicate that PI3K associated with CD19 is partly responsible for the activity (Buhl et al. 1997, Otero et al. 2001, Aiba et al. 2008). (PI3K associated with BCAP is also partly responsible (Aiba et al. 2008).)
BLNK (SLP-65, BASH) forms a stable complex with GRB2, SOS1, and CIN85 in the cytosol. The complex is recruited to the plasma membrane where activated (phosphorylated) SYK phosphorylates BLNK at tyrosines 72, 84, 96, 178, and 189 (Fu et al. 1998, Chiu et al. 2002, inferred from mouse in Wienands et al. 1998, from chicken in Oellerich et al. 2009). Phosphorylated BLNK serves as a scaffold that binds effector molecules such as Phospholipase C. As inferred from mouse, BLNK interacts with phosphorylated tyrosines on CD79A (Ig-alpha) (Engels et al. 2001, Kabak et al. 2002).
SKP:Cul:F-box (SCF) complexes containing F-box factors Beta-TrCP1 (BTRCP, E3RSIkappaB) or beta-TrCP2 (BTRCP2, FBXW11, HOS) bind IkappaB (Yaron et al. 1998, Fuchs et al. 1999, Suzuki et al. 1999, Tan et al. 1999, Winston et al. 1999, Wu and Ghosh 1999).
The IP3 receptor (IP3R) is an IP3-gated calcium channel. It is a large, homotetrameric protein, similar to other calcium channel proteins such as ryanodine. The four subunits form a 'four-leafed clover' structure arranged around the central calcium channel. Binding of ligands such as IP3 results in conformational changes in the receptor's structure that leads to channel opening.
Sustained calcium signalling in lymphocytes and platelets requires the uptake of extracellular calcium when intracellular stores are depleted. The process whereby intracellular calcium depletion stimulates calcium uptake is often referred to as Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). Store depletion is sensed by stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), which then translocates to the plasma membrane and associates with 2 dimers of Orai1 to form a calcium-release activated calcium (CRAC) channel.
Activation of Calcium-release-activated (CRAC) channels allows influx of calcium. The Orai component of CRAC is responsible for the selectivity of the channel, while the Stim component is responsible for activation.
The protein kinase SYK binds the phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-activated motifs (ITAMs) on the cytoplasmic tails of Ig-alpha (CD79A, MB-1) and Ig-beta (CD79B, B29) (Wienands et al. 1995, Rowley et al. 1995, Tsang et al. 2008). The binding causes the activation and autophosphorylation of SYK (Law et al. 1994, Baldock et al. 2000, Irish et al. 2006, Tsang et al. 2008, reviewed in Bradshaw 2010).
Activated SYK and other kinases phosphorylate BLNK (SLP-65), BCAP, and CD19 which serve as scaffolds for the assembly of large complexes, the signalosomes, by recruiting phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma (predominantly PLC-gamma2 in B cells, Coggeshall et al. 1992), NCK, BAM32, BTK, VAV1, and SHC. The effectors are phosphorylated by SYK and other kinases.
PLC-gamma associated with BLNK hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to yield inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (Carter et al. 1991, Kim et al. 2004). IP3 binds receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum and causes release of calcium ions from the ER into the cytosol. The depletion of calcium from the ER in turn activates STIM1 to interact with ORAI and TRPC1 channels in the plasma membrane, resulting in an influx of extracellular calcium ions (Muik et al. 2008, Luik et al. 2008, Park et al. 2009, Mori et al. 2002). PI3K associated with BCAP and CD19 phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to yield phosphatidyinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate.
Second messengers (calcium, diacylglycerol, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate) trigger signaling pathways: NF-kappaB is activated via protein kinase C beta, RAS is activated via RasGRP proteins, NF-AT is activated via calcineurin, and AKT (PKB) is activated via PDK1 (reviewed in Shinohara and Kurosaki 2009, Stone 2006).

SCF-betaTrCPAs inferred from chicken DT40 cells and mouse B cells (Okada et al. 2000), phosphorylated BCAP recruits PI3K, which is phosphorylated by a SYK-dependent mechanism (Kuwahara et al. 1996) and produces phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 recruits BAM32 (Marshall et al. 2000) and BTK (de Weers et al. 1994, Baba et al. 2001) via their PH domains. PIP3 also recruits and activates PLC-gamma1 and PLC-gamma2 (Bae et al. 1998). BTK binds phosphorylated BLNK via its SH2 domain (Baba et al. 2001). BTK phosphorylates Phospholipase C gamma-2 (Rodriguez et al. 2001), which activates phospholipase activity (Carter et al. 1991, Roifman and Wang 1992, Kim et al. 2004, Sekiya et al. 2004).
Phosphorylated BLNK recruits PLC gamma, VAV, GRB2, and NCK (Fu and Chan 1997, Fu et al. 1998, Chiu et al. 2002).
SYK phosphorylates SHC which then binds GRB2 (Saxton et al. 1994, Harmer and DeFranco 1997).
CD19 in a stable complex with VAV1 is phosphorylated by Src kinases (inferred from mouse, Xu et al. 2002) and possibly by LYN (inferred from mouse, Fujimoto et al. 2000) in response to BCR activation. Phosphorylated CD19 then binds PI3K (Roifman and Ke 1993, Chalupny et al. 1993, Uckun et al. 1993, Weng et al. 1994, Brooks et al. 2000, Brooks et al. 2004) and can bind PLC-gamma2, which competes with VAV1 for the same binding site on CD19 (Brooks et al. 2000, Brooks et al. 2004).
In the presence of calcium and calcium:calmodulin calcineurin binds phosphorylated and unphosphorylated NFATs at 2 regions in the N-terminus (Luo et al. 1996, Garcia-Cozar et al. 1998, Park et al. 2000, evidence from mouse in Loh et al. 1996 and Wesselborg et al. 1996). Calcineurin also weakly interacts with NFATs in the absence of calcium (Garcia-Cozar et al. 1998).
