A20 IIA1.6 B cells cotransfected with FcalphaR and wild-type gamma-chain (wt-ITAM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif)) or FcalphaR and gamma-chain, in which the wt-ITAM was substituted with the FcgammaRIIA ITAM (IIA-ITAM), were used to investigate cell signaling events influencing presentation of FcalphaR-targeted exogenous Ag in the context of MHC class II. wt-ITAM cells presented FcalphaR-targeted OVA more efficiently than IIA-ITAM transfectants to OVA-specific T cell hybridomas. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibition abrogated Ag presentation, suggesting that FcalphaR may trigger a PI 3-kinase-dependent signal transduction pathway, and thus phosphatidylinositol-dependent protein kinase (
PDK1
) and protein kinase B alpha (PKBalpha) activation. Cross-linking FcalphaR on wt-ITAM or IIA-ITAM cells triggered equivalent PI 3-kinase-dependent activation of PKBalpha. Furthermore, FcalphaR cross-linking triggered recruitment of
PDK1
and serine-phosphorylated PKBalpha to capped cell surface FcalphaR irrespective of the gamma-chain ITAM. Although FcalphaR endocytosis was accompanied by translocation of
PDK1
and phospho-PKBalpha to FcalphaR-containing vesicles in both transfectants, this was decreased in IIA-ITAM cells, and a significant proportion of
PDK1
and PKBalpha remained at the plasma membrane. In wt-ITAM cells,
PDK1
and serine-phosphorylated PKBalpha translocated to lysosomal-associated membrane glycoprotein 1- and
cathepsin B
-containing vesicles, consistent with MHC class II peptide-loading compartments (MIIC) described by other groups. Our data indicate that translocation of signal transduction mediators to MIIC-like compartments accompanies efficient presentation of receptor-targeted Ag, and suggest a mechanism connecting signaling to the Ag-processing pathway.
