Mutational analysis of the mechanism of negative regulation by SRC homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate-1 of phagocytosis in macrophages.

Abstract excerpt

Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate-1 (SHPS-1) is a transmembrane protein predominantly expressed in macrophages. The binding of CD47 on RBCs to SHPS-1 on macrophages is implicated in inhibition of phagocytosis of the former cells by the latter. We have now shown that forced expression in mouse RAW264.7 macrophages of a mutant version (SHPS-1-4F) of mouse SHPS-1, in which four...
