Among receptors that bind the Fc region of immunoglobulins ("Fc receptors"), only the one with high affinity for immunoglobulin E (IgE) is known to consist of more than a single polypeptide. In addition to the IgE-binding alpha chain, the receptor contains a single beta chain and two, disulfide-linked, gamma chains. From a cDNA library of a rat mucosal mast cell tumor, from which we recently cloned cDNAs coding for the alpha chain, we have now isolated cDNAs coding for the beta subunit. In vitro transcription-translation of the cDNA directed the synthesis of a polypeptide reactive with two distinctive anti-beta monoclonal antibodies and whose molecular weight was identical to that of authentic beta chains. Polyclonal antibodies to beta peptides expressed in Escherichia coli reacted with intact receptors and isolated beta chains. The gene encodes a protein of 243 residues with no leader sequence. A hydropathicity plot suggests that the polypeptide crosses the plasma membrane four times. The epitope recognized by one of the monoclonal antibodies was localized to the NH2 terminus; that by the other was localized to the COOH terminus. Since those antibodies react with membranes and not with intact cells, we suggest that both ends of the beta subunit are cytoplasmic. RNA transfer blots at high stringency failed to reveal mRNA for beta chains in a variety of cells (in particular, monocytes) that do not contain the high-affinity receptor for IgE.
