Fc receptor (FcR)-mediated phagocytosis requires activation of the Rho GTPases Cdc42 and Rac1, but how they are recruited to the FcR is unknown. Here we show that the calcium-promoted Ras inactivator (CAPRI), a Ras GTPase-activating protein, functions as an adaptor for Cdc42 and Rac1 during FcR-mediated phagocytosis. CAPRI-deficient macrophages had impaired FcgammaR-mediated phagocytosis and oxidative burst, as well as defective activation of Cdc42 and Rac1. CAPRI interacted constitutively with both Cdc42 and Rac1 and translocated to phagocytic cups during FcgammaR-mediated phagocytosis. CAPRI-deficient mice had an impaired innate immune response to bacterial infection. These results suggest that CAPRI provides a link between FcgammaR and Cdc42 and Rac1 and is essential for innate immune responses.
Fc受体(FcR)介导的吞噬作用需要Rho GTP酶Cdc42和Rac1的激活,但它们如何被招募到FcR尚不清楚。在这里,我们表明钙促进的Ras失活蛋白(CAPRI),一种Ras GTP酶激活蛋白,在FcR介导的吞噬作用中作为Cdc42和Rac1的衔接蛋白发挥作用。缺乏CAPRI的巨噬细胞的FcγR介导的吞噬作用和氧化爆发受损,以及Cdc42和Rac1的激活存在缺陷。CAPRI与Cdc42和Rac1都持续相互作用,并在FcγR介导的吞噬作用过程中转移到吞噬杯。缺乏CAPRI的小鼠对细菌感染的先天免疫反应受损。这些结果表明,CAPRI在FcγR与Cdc42和Rac1之间提供了联系,并且对先天免疫反应至关重要。
