== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FCERG_HUMAN FCERG_HUMAN] Adapter protein containing an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) that transduces activation signals from various immunoreceptors. As a component of the high-affinity immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor, mediates allergic inflammatory signaling in mast cells. As a constitutive component of interleukin-3 receptor complex, selectively mediates interleukin 4/IL4 production by basophils, priming T-cells toward effector T-helper 2 subset. Associates with pattern recognition receptors CLEC4D and CLEC4E to form a functional signaling complex in myeloid cells. Binding of mycobacterial trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM) to this receptor complex leads to phosphorylation of ITAM, triggering activation of SYK, CARD9 and NF-kappa-B, consequently driving maturation of antigen-presenting cells and shaping antigen-specific priming of T-cells toward effector T-helper 1 and T-helper 17 cell subtypes. May function cooperatively with other activating receptors. Functionally linked to integrin beta-2/ITGB2-mediated neutrophil activation. Also involved in integrin alpha-2/ITGA2-mediated platelet activation.[UniProtKB:P20491]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Allergic diseases, affecting over a quarter of individuals in industrialized countries, have become significant public health concerns(1,2). The high-affinity Fc receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI), mainly present on mast cells and basophils, plays a crucial role in allergic diseases(3-5). Monomeric IgE binding to FcepsilonRI regulates mast cell survival, differentiation, and maturation(6-8). However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that, prior to IgE binding, FcepsilonRI mostly exists as a homo-dimer on human mast cell membrane. The structure of human FcepsilonRI confirms the dimeric organization, with each promoter comprising one alpha subunit, one beta subunit, and two gamma subunits. The transmembrane helices of the alpha subunits form a layered arrangement with those of the gamma and beta subunits. The dimeric interface is mediated by a four-helix bundle of the alpha and gamma subunits at the intracellular juxtamembrane region. Cholesterol-like molecules embedded within the transmembrane domain may stabilize the dimeric assembly. Upon IgE binding, the dimeric FcepsilonRI dissociates into two protomers, each binding to an IgE molecule. Importantly, this process elicits transcriptional activation of Egr1/3 and Ccl2 in rat basophils, which can be attenuated by inhibiting the FcepsilonRI dimer-to-monomer transition. Collectively, our study unveils the mechanism of antigen-independent, IgE-mediated FcepsilonRI activation.
