Abstract

The HS1 protein is one of the major substrates of non-receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinases and is phosphorylated immediately after crosslinking of the surface IgM on B cells. The mouse B-lymphoma cell line WEHI-231 is known to undergo apoptosis upon crosslinking of surface IgM by anti-IgM antibodies. Variants of WEHI-231 that were resistant to anti-IgM-induced apoptosis expressed dramatically reduced levels of HS1 protein. Expression of the human HS1 protein from an expression vector introduced into one of the variant cell lines restored the sensitivity of the cells to apoptosis induced by surface IgM crosslinking. These results suggest that HS1 protein plays a crucial role in the B-cell antigen receptor-mediated signal transduction pathway that leads to apoptosis.
