The adapter proteins DAP12 and FcRγ associate with a wide spectrum of receptors in a variety of innate immune cells to mediate intracellular signaling pathways when their cognate receptor is engaged. These adapter proteins are coupled to their receptors through charged residues within the transmembrane regions of the adapter and receptor. DAP12 and FcRγ contain specific protein domains (referred to as ITAM domains) that serve as the substrates and docking sites for kinases allowing amplification of intracellular signaling reactions. Recent research has broadened the repertoire of receptors that utilize these adapters for signaling to include not only novel Ig-superfamily members but also cytokine receptors, integrins and other adhesion molecules. Even more amazing, there is abundant evidence that these multifunctional signaling adapters also mediate inhibitory activity, downmodulating signaling from TLRs and other heterologous receptors. In this review, we discuss the newly described receptors that utilize DAP12 and/or FcRγ adapters to modulate innate immune responses.
