The high affinity receptor for IgE expressed on mast cells and basophils is quickly ubiquitinated upon antigen stimulation. Even so, the nature along with the function of this covalent modification are still largelly unknown. Here, we show that FceRI subunits are preferentially ubiquitinated at various websites upon stimulation, and give evidence for a part of ubiquitin as an internalization signal: under conditions of impaired receptor ubiquitination a decrease of receptor entry is observed by FACS analysis and fluorescence microscopy. We also made use of biochemical approaches combined with fluorescence microscopy, to demonstrate that receptor endocytosis needs the integrity of precise membrane domains, namely lipid rafts. Furthermore, by RNA interference we demonstrate the involvement of ubiquitin-binding endocytic adaptors in FceRI internalization and sorting. Notably, the triple depletion of EpsCitation: Molfetta R, Gasparrini F, Peruzzi G, Vian L, Piccoli M, et al. Lipid Raft-Dependent FceRI Ubiquitination Regulates Receptor Endocytosis by means of the Action of Ubiquitin Binding Adaptors. PLoS A single Introduction FceRI, constitutively expressed around the membrane of mast cells and basophils. FceRI is composed by an IgE-binding a-chain, and b and c subunits both able to transduce signals by means of the paired tyrosine residues situated in their cytoplasmic motifs termed immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs. It can be normally accepted that upon FceRI cross-linking, the b chainassociated Src family members protein tyrosine kinase Lyn becomes activated, and phosphorylates the b and c-chain ITAMs enabling the recruitment and activation of your cytoplasmic Syk tyrosine kinase. This event is expected for all known FceRI-mediated mast cell responses, such as the release of preformed and newly synthesized allergic mediators. We've previously demonstrated that upon Ag stimulation FceRI b and c subunits are also ubiquitinated by way of the combined enzymatic activities of the tyrosine kinase Syk plus the Ub ligase c-Cbl. Despite the fact that our results recommend a function for this modification in the termination of cell activation, the part of receptor ubiquitination in the initial step of endocytosis and inside the trafficking of engaged FceRI complexes has not been investigated. May perhaps Fc
