| Abstract | Aggregation of the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) on mast cells activates a tyrosine phosphorylation cascade that is required for adhesion and degranulation events leading to the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. The full range of intracellular mediators that regulate this process is unknown. Recent studies have identified a group of immune cell-specific adaptor proteins that include linker for activation of T-cell (LAT), SH2-domain-containing leukocyte protein (SLP-76), and Fyn-T-binding protein (FYB)/SLP-76-associated protein (SLAP). In this study, we demonstrate that FYB can up-regulate integrin-mediated adhesion to fibronectin and mediator release in RBL-2H3 mast cells. The regulation of these two events could be distinguished from each other by the requirement of the FYB SH3 domain in beta-hexosaminidase release, but not adhesion, and the up-regulation of mediator release by FYB in nonadherent cells. FcepsilonRI aggregation increased FYB tyrosine phosphorylation, whereas confocal immunofluorescence microscopy showed that FYB colocalizes with F-actin in membrane ruffles and plaques. Our findings identify FYB as a regulator of integrin-mediated adhesion and degranulation events, which, in the case of mast cells, has potential applications to inflammatory and allergic responses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
