title: Tyrosine phosphorylation and association of FcgammaRII and p72(Syk) are not limited to the FcgammaRII signalling pathway.
abstract: The tyrosine kinase p72(Syk) plays a critical role in platelet signal transduction. It associates with the platelet receptor for the Fc domain of IgGs, FcgammaRII, following stimulation by FcgammaRII cross-linking. Here, we show that p72(Syk) and FcgammaRII tyrosine phosphorylation and association occured following platelet stimulation by: (1) two monoclonal antibodies, which form a bridge between a target antigen and FcgammaRII, and (2) the G-protein-coupled receptor agonist thrombin. The kinetics of the p72(Syk)/FcgammaRII association depended on the signalling pathway (i.e., the antigen targeted or the thrombin receptor). We established a direct relationship between the level of FcgammaRII phosphorylation and the detection of its association with p72(Syk). Inhibition of p72(Syk) by piceatannol resulted in partial or total inhibition of FcgammaRII phosphorylation, after immunological activation or addition of thrombin, respectively, suggesting that p72(Syk) participates in FcgammaRII phosphorylation. The results provide evidence that p72(Syk)/FcgammaRII association is not restricted to immunological activation.
