title: Tyrosine phosphorylation of B-cell adaptor for phosphoinositide 3-kinase is required for Akt activation in response to CD19 engagement.
abstract: CD19 is a coreceptor that amplifies signaling initiated by antigen cross-linking of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR). CD19 can also signal independently of BCR coligation. This study shows that B-cell adaptor for phosphoinositide 3-kinase (BCAP), previously characterized as a substrate of the tyrosine kinases upon BCR engagement, is phosphorylated by cross-linking of CD19. Tyrosine phosphorylation of BCAP, mediated by Lyn, provides binding site(s) for phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), thereby participating in Akt activation. Thus, these results provide evidence that BCAP serves as an adaptor molecule for CD19 to activate the PI3K pathway in B cells.
