title: Fc-receptor mediated protein phosphorylation in murine peritoneal macrophages.
abstract: The effect of Fc receptor engagement on protein phosphorylation in murine peritoneal macrophages has been investigated. Treatment of macrophage cultures with insoluble immune complexes resulted in enhanced phosphorylation of six proteins at 73, 66, 53, 37, 31 and 25 kD. Comparison of the protein phosphorylation patterns induced by immune complexes with those induced by agents which mimic the actions of well known intracellular second messengers (i.e., A23187, dibutyryl cAMP, or phorbol myristate acetate) revealed substantial similarity between Fc receptor induced events and those induced in response to phorbol diesters. There were, however, two phosphorylated proteins which were only seen following stimulation with immune complexes. Thus, more than one kind of protein kinase activity appears to be involved in Fc receptor mediated stimulation of macrophage function.
