FcmuR is the immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody isotype-specific Fc receptor involved in the survival and activation of B cells. Here we reveal eight binding sites for the human FcmuR immunoglobulin domain on the IgM pentamer by cryogenic electron microscopy. One of the sites overlaps with the binding site for the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR), but a different mode of FcmuR binding explains its antibody isotype specificity. Variation in FcmuR binding sites and their occupancy reflects the asymmetry of the IgM pentameric core and the versatility of FcmuR binding. The complex explains engagement with polymeric serum IgM and the monomeric IgM B-cell receptor (BCR).
