The inhibitory receptor FcγRIIb is a negative regulator of antibody production and
inflammatory responses. The-343 G→ C polymorphism in the human FCGR2B promoter is
associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. The-343 C mutant promoter has decreased
transcriptional activity. In the present study, we show that the transcriptional change
correlates with quantitative differences in the interaction of the activating protein 1 complex
with the mutant FCGR2B promoter. Promoter pulldown and chromatin immunoprecipitation …
