Fc RI aggregation on the surface of mast cells results in degranulation, a response which is potentiated by binding of stem cell factor (SCF) to its receptor Kit. We observed that one of the major initial signaling events associated with Fc RI-mediated activation of human mast cells (HuMCs) is the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of a protein of 25-30 kD. The phosphorylation of this protein was also observed in response to SCF. This protein was identified as Non T cell Activation Linker (NTAL), an adaptor molecule similar to LAT. Unlike the Fc RI response, SCF induced NTAL phosphorylation in the absence of detectable LAT phosphorylation. When SCF and antigen were added concurrently, there was a marked synergistic effect on NTAL phosphorylation, however, SCF did not enhance the phosphorylation of LAT induced by Fc RI aggregation. Fc RI- and SCF-mediated NTAL phosphorylation appear to be differentially regulated by Src kinases and / or Kit kinase respectively. Diminution of NTAL expression by silencing RNA oligonucleotides in HuMCs resulted in a reduction of both Kit and Fc RI-mediated degranulation. NTAL, thus, appears to be an important link between the signaling pathways which are initiated by these receptors culminating in mast cell degranulation.
