PIR-A and PIR-B are activating and inhibitory lg-like receptors on murine B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and myeloid-lineage cells. The inhibitory function of PIR-B is mediated via its cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs, whereas PIR-A pairs with the Fc receptor common gamma chain to form an activating receptor complex. In these studies, we observed constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation of PIR-B molecules on macrophages acid B lymphocytes, irrespective of the cell activation status. Splenocyte PIR-B molecules were constitutively associated with the SHP-1 protein tyrosine phosphatase and Lyn protein tyrosine kinase. In Lyn-deficient mice, PIR-B tyrosine phosphorylation was greatly reduced. Unexpectedly, tyrosine phosphorylation of PIR-B was not observed in most myeloid and B cell lines but could be induced by ligation of the PIR molecules. Finally, the phosphorylation status of PIR-B was significantly reduced in MHC class I-deficient mice, although not in mice deficient in TAP1 or MHC class II expression. These findings suggest a physiological inhibitory role for PIR-B that is regulated by endogenous MHC class I-like ligands.
