Abstract

The human Fc gamma RI (CD64) is a high affinity receptor for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin (Ig), and its constitutively low expression on the cell surface of monocyte/macrophage and neutrophils is selectively upregulated by interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) treatment (Perussia, B., E. T. Dayton, R. Lazarus, V. Fanning, and G. Trinchieri. 1983. J. Exp. Med. 158:1092). Three distinct cDNAs have been cloned and code for proteins that predict three extracellular Ig-like domains (Allen, J.M., and B. Seed. 1989. Science [Wash. DC]. 243:378). Several differences in the coding region of these cDNAs suggest that in addition to polymorphic differences a second Fc gamma RI gene could possibly exist. This alternative Fc gamma RI gene (Fc gamma RIb) was defined by the lack of a genomic HindIII restriction site (van der Winkel, J. G. J., L. U. Ernst, C. L. Anderson, and I. M. Chiu. 1991. J. Biol. Chem. 266:13449). We describe the characterization a second gene (Fc gamma RIb) that has a termination codon in the third extracellular domain and therefore predicts a soluble form of a termination codon in the third extracellular domain and therefore predicts a soluble form of the receptor. We also define two distinct IFN-gamma-responsive regions in the 5' flanking sequence of Fc gamma RIb that resemble motifs that have been defined in the class II major histocompatibility complex promoter. The Fc gamma RIb promoter does not possess canonical TATA or CCAAT boxes, but does possess a palindromic motif that closely resembles the initiator sequence identified in the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase/human leukocyte IFN/adeno-associated virus type II P5 gene promoters (Smale, S. T., and D. Baltimore. 1989. Cell. 57:103; Seto, E., Y. Shi, and T. Shenk. 1991. Nature [Lond.]. 354:241; Roy, A. L., M. Meisterernst, P. Pognonec, and R. C. Roeder. 1991. Nature [Lond.]. 354:245) virus type II P5 gene promoters raising interesting questions as to its role in the basal and myeloid-specific transcription of this gene.
