Engagement of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) activates kinases of the Src and Syk families and signaling complexes assembled by adaptor proteins, which dictate B cell fate and function. The adaptor 3BP2/SH3BP2, an Abl SH3-binding and Syk-kinases interacting protein, exhibits positive regulatory roles in T, NK and basophilic cells. However, its involvement in BCR signaling is completely unknown. Here we show that 3BP2 is tyrosine phosphorylated following BCR aggregation on B lymphoma cells, and that 3BP2 is a substrate for Syk and Fyn, but not Btk. To further explore the function of 3BP2 in B cells, we screened a yeast two-hybrid B lymphocyte library and found 3BP2 as a binding partner of Vav proteins. The interaction between 3BP2 and Vav proteins involved both constitutive and inducible mechanisms. 3BP2 also interacted with other components of BCR signaling pathway, including Syk and PLC- . Furthermore, overexpression and RNAi blocking experiments showed that 3BP2 regulated BCR-mediated nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) activation. Finally, evidence was provided that 3BP2 functionally cooperates with Vav proteins and Rho GTPases to activate NFAT. Our results show that 3BP2 may regulate BCR-mediated gene activation through Vav proteins.
