  • Title: Involvement of hrs binding protein in IgE receptor-triggered exocytosis in RBL-2H3 mast cells.
    Author: Murai S, Kitamura N.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 2000 Nov 02; 277(3):752-6. PubMed ID: 11062024.
    Abstract:
    Hrs binding protein (Hbp) tightly associated with Hrs is thought to play a regulatory role in vesicular trafficking during endocytosis and exocytosis. In this study, we have expressed dominant-negative mutants of Hbp to evaluate their effects on the degranulation of secretory granules in RBL-2H3 mast cells. The dominant-negative mutants of Hbp significantly inhibited IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI)-triggered secretory response as tested by beta-hexosaminidase release. These results suggest that Hbp functions as a regulator in the FcepsilonRI-triggered degranulation of secretory granules in mast cells.
