title: Association of immunoglobulin G Fc receptor II with Src-like protein-tyrosine kinase Fgr in neutrophils.
abstract: The interaction of Fc receptors with antibody-antigen complexes activates multiple biological functions in hematopoietic cells. Recently, protein-tyrosine phosphorylation has been suggested to be involved in Fc receptor-mediated cell signaling. Here we show that the Src-like protein-tyrosine kinase Fgr, which is specifically expressed in mature myelomonocytic cells, coimmunoprecipitates with IgG Fc receptor II (Fc gamma RII), but not with Fc gamma RIII from detergent lysates of human peripheral neutrophils. Crosslinking of Fc gamma RII induced a rapid increase in the tyrosine kinase activity and comodulation of Fgr. These results suggest that Fgr is physically and functionally associated with Fc gamma RII and involved in Fc gamma RII-mediated signal transduction pathways.
