Despite extensive study, little is known about the functions of the moderate affinity IgE receptors (Fc epsilon RII) on B cells. Recent cDNA and genomic cloning studies have demonstrated that, in contrast to other FcR, Fc epsilon RII is not a member of the Ig gene superfamily. Moreover, it uniquely expresses a region that is highly homologous with a membrane-associated, calcium-dependent binding lectin, the asialoglycoprotein receptor. We now report that the interaction between IgE and the Fc epsilon RII of murine B cells and macrophages requires calcium. Furthermore, as might be expected of asialoglycoprotein lectins, this binding was pH-dependent and resulted in ligand internalization. However, although 125I-Fc epsilon RII bound in a calcium-dependent manner to monosaccharide-agarose beads, high concentrations of mono- and disaccharides did not inhibit the interaction between either 125I-IgE and intact B cells or 125I-Fc epsilon RII (from surface-labeled B cells) and IgE-Sepharose. These results suggest that although murine Fc epsilon RII is a lectin, it is not strictly dependent upon IgE oligosaccharides for its binding to IgE.
