The low-affinity receptor for IgG, FcgammaRIIB, functions broadly in the immune system, blocking mast cell degranulation, dampening the humoral immune response, and reducing the risk of autoimmunity. Previous studies concluded that inhibitory signal transduction by FcgammaRIIB is mediated solely by its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) that, when phosphorylated, recruits the SH2-containing inositol 5'- phosphatase SHIP and the SH2-containing tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2. The mutational analysis reported here reveals that the receptor's C-terminal 16 residues are also required for detectable FcgammaRIIB association with SHIP in vivo and for FcgammaRIIB-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase hydrolysis by SHIP. Although the ITIM appears to contain all the structural information required for receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of SHIP, phosphorylation is enhanced when the C-terminal sequence is present. Additionally, FcgammaRIIB-mediated dephosphorylation of CD19 is independent of the cytoplasmic tail distal from residue 237, including the ITIM. Finally, the findings indicate that tyrosines 290, 309, and 326 are all sites of significant FcgammaRIIB1 phosphorylation following coaggregation with B cell Ag receptor. Thus, we conclude that multiple sites in FcgammaRIIB contribute uniquely to transduction of FcgammaRIIB-mediated inhibitory signals.
