The B cell novel protein 1 (BCNP1) regulates BCR signaling and B cell apoptosis.
European Journal of Immunology 2019 March 20
The B cell receptor (BCR) plays a central role in B cell development, survival, activation and differentiation. We have identified the B cell novel protein 1 (BCNP1) as a new regulator of BCR signaling. BCNP1 contains a pleckstrin homology domain, 3 proline-rich motifs and a potential SH2 binding site, and is predominantly expressed by B cells. We found that BCNP1 overexpression in WEHI231 immature B cells potentiated α-IgM-induced apoptosis. Conversely, BCNP1-deficient WEHI231 cells, generated by CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing, exhibited reduced apoptosis after BCR crosslinking. Biochemical analyses revealed that BCNP1 physically interacted with the B cell linker protein (BLNK), Grb2 and PLCγ2. Moreover, absence of BCNP1 resulted in accelerated dephosphorylation of BLNK, reduced phosphorylation of SYK and PLCγ2 and decreased Ca2+ influx after BCR crosslinking. These results demonstrate that BCNP1 promotes BCR signaling by modulating the phosphorylation of BLNK, SYK and PLCγ2. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
