PG - 567-75 AB - Erythrosin 5'-thiosemicarbazide labeled immunoglobulin E (IgE) was used to monitor the rotational dynamics of monomeric and dimeric Fc epsilon RI receptors for IgE on rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells using time-resolved phosphorescence anisotropy. Receptors were studied both on living RBL cells and on membrane vesicles derived from RBL cell plasma membrane. The un-cross-linked IgE-receptor complexes on cells and vesicles exhibit rotational correlation times that are consistent with those expected for freely rotating monomers, but a small fraction of these complexes on cells may be rotationally immobile. A comparison of the initial phosphorescence anisotropy values for erythrosin-labeled IgE-receptor complexes on cells and vesicles reveals a fast component of rotational motion that is greater on the vesicles and may be due to a site of segmental flexibility in the receptor itself. Dimers of IgE-receptor complexes formed with anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies appear to be largely immobile on cells, but they are mobile on vesicles with a 2-fold larger rotational correlation time than the monomeric complexes. The results suggest that dimeric IgE-receptor complexes undergo interactions with other membrane components on intact cells that do not occur on the membrane vesicles. The possible significance of these interactions to receptor function is discussed.
