Abstract
The contribution of oligosaccharides to the biochemical composition and antigen heterogeneity of the phosphotyrosine phosphatase CD45 glycoproteins has been studied on the K-562 erythroleukemic cell line. Treatment of immunoprecipitated CD45 glycoproteins with distinct exo- and endoglycosidases revealed the presence of highly sialylated O- and N-linked complex carbohydrates in the composition of mature CD45 glycoproteins. Incubation of K-562 cells with the N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin blocked carbohydrate processing during biosynthesis of CD45 proteins, generating unglycosylated polypeptides similar in size to those resulting from digestion of CD45 proteins with a mixture of both N- and O-glycanases. Epitopes defining the T cell maturation related CD45R0 and CD45RB antigen specificities were present on the mature 180- and 190-kDa K-562 CD45 proteins, respectively. However, the CD45R0 and CD45RB epitopes were not detected on the high mannose biosynthetic CD45 precursors. Furthermore, treatment of CD45 proteins with O-glycanase or neuraminidase resulted in the loss of both CD45R0 and CD45RB epitopes, although reactivity of the anti-CD45R0 and anti-CD45RB mAb was not affected by mAb preincubation with either sialic acids or sialyllactose in solution. From these results we conclude that the blockade of early steps of N-glycosylation during carbohydrate processing resulted in the inhibition of subsequent incorporation of O-linked sugars on CD45 polypeptides, thus preventing the late acquisition of the CD45R0 and CD45RB determinants on the 180- and 190-kDa CD45 polypeptides.

Abstract
We have generated seven monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that recognize the T200 molecule. These mAb have been classified by competitive binding assay in flow cytometry into three groups each reacting with a different epitope of the T200 molecule: (a) 136-4B5, that shows a sialic acid nature, (b) 135-4H9, 135-4C5, 144-2, 155-2 and (c) 72-5D3, 124-2H12b. A heterogeneous effect was observed when they were tested on an anti-immunoglobulin-induced B cell proliferation. Whereas 72-5D3 and 135-4H9 mAb inhibited the proliferative response of B cells, 136-4B5 mAb greatly enhanced it, both effects being dose dependent. We can conclude that anti-CD45 mAb have a different and contrary functional behavior on anti-Ig-induced B cell proliferation, depending on the epitope recognized. The basis for such a difference could reside in the glucidic nature of the epitope recognized by the 136-4B5 mAb.

Abstract
The CD45 antigen family consists of multiple molecular isoforms ranging from 180 to 220 kDa. The highest Mr isoforms are recognized by monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) designated CD45RA, while those recognizing the low Mr isoforms are designated CD45RO. T cells expressing CD45RA are "naive" or unprimed, while those expressing CD45RO have "memory." Further, stimulation of CD45RA+ T cells induces an isoform switch to the CD45RA-/CD45RO+ phenotype. The present study examined this in vitro process by determining the in vivo CD45 isoform expression of T cells from human hyperplastic lymph nodes. Hyperplastic, as opposed to nonhyperplastic, lymph nodes exhibited the expected CD45 isoform switch from CD45RA+ to CD45RO+ T cells that has been described in vitro. The percentage of CD45RO+ T cells did not correlate with other parameters of lymphoid activation. Thus, CD45RO expression probably represents a marker of differentiation and acquisition of "memory" or late cellular activation.

Abstract
Phospholipase C-gamma 1 (PLC-gamma 1), an isozyme of the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C family, which occupies a central role in hormonal signal transduction pathways, is an excellent substrate for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor tyrosine kinase. Epidermal growth factor elicits tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis in various cell lines. The ability of tyrosine phosphorylation to activate the catalytic activity of PLC-gamma 1 was tested. Tyrosine phosphorylation in intact cells or in vitro increased the catalytic activity of PLC-gamma 1. Also, treatment of EGF-activated PLC-gamma 1 with a tyrosine-specific phosphatase substantially decreased the catalytic activity of PLC-gamma 1. These results suggest that the EGF-stimulated formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol in intact cells results, at least in part, from catalytic activation of PLC-gamma 1 through tyrosine phosphorylation.

Abstract
Some protein kinases and phosphatases are myristoylated on their amino terminus, which perhaps contributes to subcellular localization or regulation. Glycoprotein CD45, a hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase, was examined for fatty acid content. The CD45 protein incorporated [3H]myristate, but little [3H]palmitate. The label was not metabolized and reincorporated into amino acids or saccharides, as revealed by peptide maps of CD45 labeled with [3H]myristate, 14C-labeled amino acids, [35S]methionine, or 125I, and glycosidase treatments, respectively. The myristate label was resistant to mild alkaline methanolysis and was found in fatty acid and sphingosine, indicating an unusual form of lipid attachment to CD45.

Abstract
A novel form of receptor-kinase interaction was first described in the interaction between the CD4 and CD8 antigens and the protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck. This linkage, between a regulatory antigen on T cells and a member of a family of intracellular molecules with an established ability to activate and transform cells, is likely to be of great importance in the regulation of T-cell growth. Recently, data have been obtained on the molecular basis of regulation of the CD4/CD8-p56lck interaction and an interaction between the T-cell receptor complex (TCR-CD3) and another src-kinase p59fyn has been described. Here, Christopher Rudd examines these interactions and outlines their potential roles in normal and malignant T-cell growth.

Abstract
Different isoforms of CD45 are expressed on naive and memory CD4 T cells in the mouse, as revealed by an antibody to a set of isoforms of CD45 that utilize exon B, called CD45RB. Cloned TH1 and TH2 lines also differ for expression of isoforms detected by this antibody. Differential expression of CD45 isoforms correlates with different behavior of cell surface molecules involved in transmembrane signal transduction. On naive T cells, CD4, CD45 and the CD3/T cell receptor complex behave as independent entities. On memory T cells, these three molecules are stably associated on the T cell surface. Furthermore, on TH2 cells, which express intermediate levels of CD45RB, CD4 is stably associated with CD45 isoforms other than CD45RB, but this complex is not associated with the CD3/T cell receptor. These results lead us to propose that immunological memory in CD4 T cells consists of an altered structure of the T cell's specific signal transduction apparatus controlled by low-molecular weight CD45 isoforms. This altered receptor structure would allow the more sensitive triggering of the T cell characteristic of memory cells. The organization of multimolecular signal transduction systems may be a general means by which cells alter their physiological behavior, allowing the acquisition of new phenotypic characteristics.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases), together with protein tyrosine kinases, regulate the tyrosine phosphorylation that controls cell activities and proliferation. Previously, it has been recognized that both cytosolic PTPases and membrane associated, receptor-like PTPases exist. In order to examine the structural diversity of receptor-like PTPases, we isolated human cDNA clones that cross-hybridized to a Drosophila PTPase cDNA clone, DPTP12, under non-stringent hybridization conditions. The cDNA clones thus isolated included LCA and six other novel receptor-like PTPases, named HPTP alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta. The cytoplasmic regions of HPTP alpha and epsilon are highly homologous, and are composed of two tandemly duplicated PTPase-like domains. The extracellular regions of HPTP alpha and epsilon are, respectively, 123 amino acids and 27 amino acids, and do not have obvious similarity to any known protein. The cytoplasmic region of HPTP beta contains only one PTPase domain. The extracellular region of HPTP beta, which is 1599 amino acids, is composed of 16 fibronectin type-III repeats. HPTP delta is very similar to leukocyte common antigen related molecule (LAR), in both the extracellular and cytoplasmic regions. Partial sequences of HPTP gamma and zeta indicate that they are highly homologous and contain two PTPase-like domains. The PTPase-like domains of HPTP alpha, beta and delta expressed in Escherichia coli had tyrosine phosphatase activities.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation of PC12 cells activated two myelin basic protein (MBP) kinase activities greater than 10-fold within 5 min, which were resolved by chromatography on Mono Q. Each enzyme phosphorylated MBP on threonine and was inactivated by incubation with either CD45, a protein tyrosine phosphatase, or protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a serine/threonine phosphatase. The effects of CD45 and PP2A were prevented by vanadate and okadaic acid, respectively. Activation of the MBP-kinases provides a mechanism for communication between NGF and intracellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation.

Abstract
A human brainstem cDNA library in bacteriophage lambda gt11 was screened under conditions of reduced hybridization stringency with a leukocyte common antigen (LCA) probe that spanned both conserved cytoplasmic domains. cDNA encoding a receptor-linked protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.48), RPTPase alpha, has been cloned and sequenced. Human RPTPase alpha consists of 802 amino acids. The extracellular domain of 150 residues includes a hydrophobic signal peptide and eight potential N-glycosylation sites. This is followed by a transmembrane region and two tandemly repeated conserved domains characteristic of all RPTPases identified thus far. The gene for RPTPase alpha has been localized to human chromosome region 20pter-20q12 by analysis of its segregation pattern in rodent-human somatic cell hybrids. Northern blot analysis revealed the presence of two major transcripts of 4.3 and 6.3 kilobases. In addition to RPTPase alpha, two other RPTPases (beta and gamma), identified in the same screen, have been partially cloned and sequenced. Analysis of sequence comparisons among LCA, the LCA-related protein LAR, and RPTPases alpha, beta, and gamma reveals the existence of a multigene family encoding different RPTPases, each containing a distinct extracellular domain, a single hydrophobic transmembrane region, and two tandemly repeated conserved cytoplasmic domains.

Abstract
Memory T cells can now be defined with various monoclonal antibodies but little is known about the functional properties of these cells as compared to virgin T cells. We have studied Ca2+ mobilization and proliferation of memory and virgin cells in both the CD4 and CD8 subsets in response to phytohemagglutin-in. Using two-color fluorescence (yellow, red) for cell surface staining combined with two-color fluorescence for the Ca2+ chelator indo-1 (violet, blue) we can demonstrate that CD8+UCHL1+ memory cells exhibit a 1,5-fold higher influx than the CD8+UCHL1- virgin cells. The same pattern was obtained when CD8 memory and virgin cells were defined by a reciprocal marker (Leu-18) indicating that the higher response of memory CD8 cells is independent of the monoclonal antibody used to identify the cells. For the respective CD4 subsets no such clear-cut pattern of Ca2+ influx was evident. Analysis of proliferation in both subsets indicates that CD8+UCHL1- cells strongly proliferate in response to PHA, while CD8+UCHL1+ memory cells show only a minimal response with the average cpm values being 6-fold lower. In some instances no proliferation at all was detectable in the CD8+UCHL1+ cells. Identification of the subsets by reciprocal markers confirmed the lower proliferative response in the CD8 memory cells. Hence, within the CD8 compartment the memory cells, after phytohemagglutinin stimulation, exhibit a high Ca2+ mobilization but a low to absent proliferation, while the converse is true for the naive cells. These data show that (a) Ca2+ mobilization and proliferation are inversely correlated and (b) an initially vigorous response of memory cells may be subject to negative control mechanisms.

Abstract
Immunoprecipitation of Thy-1 from Triton X-100 detergent lysates of surface-iodinated and chemically cross-linked T cells precipitated at least five major and discrete bands. Four of these bands were identified as Thy-1, CD45 (a transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase), a major histocompatibility complex-encoded class I molecule, and beta 2-microglobulin. Similar analyses revealed that CD45 was coprecipitated from lysates of cross-linker-treated cells by antibodies to the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). The same pattern of coprecipitated bands was observed when digitonin was used to lyse untreated cells. Immunoprecipitation of Thy-1 or the TCR from lysates of cross-linked T cells precipitated CD45 tyrosine phosphatase activity. Calculations based upon the amounts of coprecipitated enzymatic activity or TCR zeta chain indicate that a substantial fraction of Thy-1 and TCR complexes can be cross-linked to CD45. These data support a model in which the dependence of Thy-1 signaling on TCR coexpression is due to their common interaction with a tyrosine phosphatase and provide a possible structural basis for the influence of CD45 on TCR-mediated signaling.

Abstract
Human CD4+ T cells differ in their expression of the leucocyte common antigen. Antibodies detecting certain forms (CD45RA and CD45RO) of this antigen have been used to identify and isolate subpopulations of the CD4+ T cells. These isolated subsets have been shown to have different abilities concerning lymphokine production and provision of help to B cells for Ig production. When these T-cell subsets were activated in vitro with polyclonal activators, the production. When these T-cell subsets were activated in vitro with polyclonal activators, the CD45RA+ cells lost this marker and gained the expression of CD45RO. This was true for all mitogens used in this report, i.e. accessory cell-dependent stimulation with SEA and accessory cell-independent activation with PMA or PHA. A correlation between proliferation and differentiation was observed, but this was probably not causative as stimulation with PMA in the absence of DNA synthesis resulted in the acquisition of CD45RO and loss of the CD45RA antigen. Moreover, cells proliferating vigorously for long periods of time expressed both markers at significant levels, which suggests that proliferation did not automatically result in complete loss of the CD45RA marker. The phenotypical differentiation was associated with a functional differentiation which induced the stimulated cells' ability to act as helper cells for Ig production and to produce gamma interferon (IFN-gamma). The results obtained in this study support the contention that the CD45RA+ cells are precursors of the CD45RO+ cells and that the two subsets represent different maturational stages of the same lineage.

Abstract
Yersinia is the genus of bacteria that is the causative agent in plague or the black death, and on several occasions this organism has killed a significant portion of the world's population. An essential virulence determinant of Yersinia was shown to be a protein tyrosine phosphatase. The recombinant 50-kilodalton Yersinia phosphatase had a specificity for removal of phosphate from Tyr-containing as opposed to Ser/Thr-containing phosphopeptides and proteins. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to show that the Yersinia phosphatase possesses an essential Cys residue required for catalysis. Amino acids surrounding an essential Cys residue are highly conserved, as are other amino acids in the Yersinia and mammalian protein tyrosine phosphatases, suggesting that they use a common catalytic mechanism.

Screening of a mouse brain cDNA library under low-stringency conditions with a probe encompassing the intracellular (phosphatase) domain of the CD45 lymphocyte antigen yielded cDNA clones coding for a 794-amino acid transmembrane protein [hereafter referred to as receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (R-PTP-alpha)] with an intracellular domain displaying clear homology to the catalytic domains of CD45 and LAR (45% and 53%, respectively). The 142-amino acid extracellular domain (including signal peptide) of R-PTP-alpha is marked by a high serine/threonine content (32%) as well as eight potential N-glycosylation sites but displays no similarity to known proteins. Genetic mapping assigns the gene for R-PTP-alpha to mouse chromosome 2, closely linked to the Il-1a and Bmp-2a loci. The corresponding mRNA (3.0 kilobases) is expressed in most murine tissues and most abundantly expressed in brain and kidney. Antibodies against a synthetic peptide of R-PTP-alpha identified a 130-kDa protein in cells transfected with the R-PTP-alpha cDNA.

Abstract
Nearly one-third of IgM antilymphocyte autoantibody-positive sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) contain IgM antibodies to one or more 180-220-kD molecules (p180, p190, p205, and p220) in blots of glycoproteins purified from T cells by wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography. Identity of these IgM targets with multiple isoforms of CD45 was established by their specific depletion from T cell glycoproteins by immunoprecipitation with T191, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that reacts with an epitope common to all CD45 isoforms. Although the anti-CD45 autoantibodies recognize higher molecular weight isoforms primarily, antigenic specificity in this system is quite heterogeneous and includes multiple distinct CD45 isoforms on different types of T cells that are, at least in part, different from those reactive with mAbs 2H4 and UCHL-1. Because CD45 is a major membrane protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays a critical role in antigen-induced T cell activation, the present data may be relevant to some of the antilymphocyte antibody-mediated immunologic abnormalities that characterize SLE and related autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus frequently contain IgM antibodies to glycoproteins of Mr 46,000 and approximately 200,000 isolated from nonionic detergent lysates of mature T cells by affinity chromatography with solid-phase wheat germ agglutinin. Autoantibodies of this specificity correlate strongly with the presence of IgM anti-T cell autoantibodies, as determined by independent indirect immunofluorescence and complement-dependent microcytotoxicity assays, and are specifically absorbed by incubation of patient serum with viable T cells. Collectively, the data suggest that gp46 and, to a lesser extent, gp approximately 200 represent major targets of IgM antilymphocyte autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Abstract
Five protein serine/threonine phosphatases (PP) have been identified by cloning cDNA from mammalian and Drosophila libraries. These novel enzymes, which have not yet been detected by the techniques of protein chemistry and enzymology, are termed PPV, PP2Bw, PPX, PPY and PPZ. The complete amino acid sequences of PPX, PPY and PPZ and an almost complete sequence of PPV are presented. In the catalytic domain PPV and PPX are more similar to PP2A (57-69% identity) than PP1 (45-49% identity), while PPY and PPZ are more similar to PP1 (66-68% identity) than PP2A (44% identity). The cDNA for PP2Bw encodes a novel Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase only 62% identical to PP2B in the catalytic domain. Approaches for determining the cellular functions of these protein phosphatases are discussed.

Abstract
The T200/leukocyte common antigen (CD45) is a family of at least five large-molecular weight glycoproteins, which are differentially expressed on T cell subsets. The CD45 antigen consists of a variable heavily glycosylated exterior domain, a single membrane-spanning region, and a large cytoplasmic domain that has protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity. In this study, we examined the effects of activation of protein kinase C (PKC) on the phosphorylation and expression of CD45 isoforms and PTPase activity in human T cells. After activation of PKC by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), CD45RA expression rapidly increased within the first 24 h, whereas CD45R0 expression did not change within this time. However by 48 h, expression of CD45R0 also began to increase. Metabolic labeling showed that the rapid increment in CD45RA expression observed after PMA stimulation is primarily due to increased de novo synthesis of the 205-kDa and not the 220-kDa molecule. PMA treatment resulted in the phosphorylation of each CD45 isoform to a degree corresponding to its relative surface expression. Significantly, we found that the phosphorylation of CD45 by PKC activation down-regulated CD45 PTPase activity.

Abstract
Stimulation of T lymphocytes through their antigen receptor (T-cell receptor; TCR) results in the activation of a tyrosine kinase and the generation of phosphatidyl inositol (PtdIns)-derived second messengers. Several reports have indicated that CD45, a haematopoietic cell-specific surface glycoprotein with tyrosine phosphatase activity in its cytoplasmic domain, is important in lymphocyte activation. To examine the possibility that CD45 might influence proximal signal transduction events through the TCR, we have isolated a variant of the human T-cell leukaemic line, HPB-ALL, which fails to express this phosphatase. Unlike cells expressing CD45, stimulation of the TCR in the CD45-negative cell does not result in PtdIns-derived second messengers. Reconstitution of CD45 expression restored early signalling events through the TCR. To localize the site of CD45 action, the human muscarinic type 1 receptor, which also activates the PtdIns second messenger pathway, was transfected into the CD45-negative cell. Although stimulation of the TCR failed to generate PtdIns-derived second messengers, there was normal activity of the PtdIns pathway when human muscarinic receptor type 1 was stimulated, despite the absence of CD45. These data indicate that CD45 influences a cellular component that is essential for effective coupling of the TCR to the PtdIns second messenger pathway.

Abstract
The inactivation of growth suppressor genes appears to play a major role in the malignant process. To assess whether protein phosphotyrosyl phosphatases (protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.48) function as growth suppressors, we have isolated a cDNA clone encoding human protein phosphotyrosyl phosphatase 1B for structural and functional characterization. The translation product deduced from the 1305-nucleotide open reading frame predicts a protein containing 435 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 49,966 Da. The amino-terminal 321 amino acids deduced from the cDNA sequence are identical to the empirically determined sequence of protein phosphotyrosyl phosphatase 1B. [Charbonneau, H., Tonks, N. K., Kumar, S., Diltz, C. D., Harrylock, M., Cool, D. E., Krebs, E. G., Fischer, E. H. & Walsh, K. A. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 5252-5256]. A genomic clone has been isolated and used in an in situ hybridization to banded metaphase chromosomes to determine that the gene encoding protein phosphotyrosyl phosphatase 1B maps as a single-copy gene to the long arm of chromosome 20 in the region q13.1-q13.2.

Abstract
A protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (PTPase 1B; protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.48), specific for phosphotyrosyl residues, was microinjected into Xenopus oocytes. This resulted in a 3- to 5-fold increase in PTPase activity over endogenous levels. The PTPase blocked the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of tyrosyl residues on endogenous proteins, including a protein having a molecular mass in the same range as the beta subunit of the insulin or insulin-like growth factor I receptor. PTPase 1B also blocked the activation of an S6 peptide kinase--i.e., an enzyme recognizing a peptide having the sequence RRLSSLRA found in a segment of ribosomal protein S6 and known to be activated early in response to insulin. On the other hand, the insulin stimulation of an S6 kinase, detected by using 40S ribosomes as substrate, was unaffected even though PTPase 1B partially prevented the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 in vivo. Mono Q chromatography of insulin-treated oocyte extracts revealed two main peaks of S6 kinase activity. Fractions from the first peak displayed S6 peptide kinase activity that was essentially abolished in profiles from PTPase 1B-injected oocytes. Material from the second peak, which was best revealed by using 40S ribosomes as substrate and had comparatively little S6 peptide kinase activity, was minimally affected by PTPase 1B. These observations suggest that at least two distinct "S6 kinases" are involved in ribosomal protein S6 phosphorylation in vivo and that the activation pathways for these enzymes differ in their sensitivity to PTPase 1B.

Abstract
T lymphocytes respond to foreign antigens both by producing protein effector molecules known as lymphokines and by multiplying. Complete activation requires two signaling events, one through the antigen-specific receptor and one through the receptor for a costimulatory molecule. In the absence of the latter signal, the T cell makes only a partial response and, more importantly, enters an unresponsive state known as clonal anergy in which the T cell is incapable of producing its own growth hormone, interleukin-2, on restimulation. Our current understanding at the molecular level of this modulatory process and its relevance to T cell tolerance are reviewed.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.13.48) have been implicated in the regulation of cell growth; however, to date few tyrosine phosphatases have been characterized. To identify additional family members, the cDNA for the human tyrosine phosphatase leukocyte common antigen (LCA; CD45) was used to screen, under low stringency, a mouse pre-B-cell cDNA library. Two cDNA clones were isolated and sequence analysis predicts a protein sequence of 793 amino acids. We have named the molecule LRP (LCA-related phosphatase). RNA transfer analysis indicates that the cDNAs were derived from a 3.2-kilobase mRNA. The LRP mRNA is transcribed in a wide variety of tissues. The predicted protein structure can be divided into the following structural features: a short 19-amino acid leader sequence, an exterior domain of 123 amino acids that is predicted to be highly glycosylated, a 24-amino acid membrane-spanning region, and a 627-amino acid cytoplasmic region. The cytoplasmic region contains two approximately 260-amino acid domains, each with homology to the tyrosine phosphatase family. One of the cDNA clones differed in that it had a 108-base-pair insertion that, while preserving the reading frame, would disrupt the first protein-tyrosine-phosphatase domain. Analysis of genomic DNA indicates that the insertion is due to an alternatively spliced exon. LRP appears to be evolutionarily conserved as a putative homologue has been identified in the invertebrate Styela plicata.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibodies, anti-2H4(CD45RA), and anti-4B4(CD29), along with UCHL1-(CD45RO), identify reciprocal populations of CD4 cells with distinct suppressor inducer (CD45RA+CD29-CD45RO-) and helper inducer (CD45RA-CD29+CD45RO+) functions. Although the CD8+ population is known to contain precytotoxic, cytotoxic, suppressor, and some natural killer cells, the exact phenotypic identities of these functional CD8 subsets has not been established. In this study, we tried to determine whether these monoclonal antibodies could distinguish functionally distinct subsets of cells within the CD8+ population. For this purpose, whole T cells or fractionated T cells were sensitized with irradiated allogeneic non-T cells for 6 days, following which, CD8+ or CD8+CD11b- cells were isolated and cellular functions such as suppressor, killer precursor, and killer effector activity were assessed. The results showed that both class I-restricted alloantigen-specific killer effector and killer precursor cells belonged to the CD8+CD11b-CD45RA-CD29+ population. Moreover, these killer effector cells expressed the CTL-associated S6F1 molecule, an epitope of the LFA-1 antigen. In contrast, suppressor effector cells belonged to the CD8+CD11b-CD45RA+CD29- cell population. Although the UCHL1 antigen has been reported to define the CD4+CD29+ helper inducer cell, over 90% of allo-activated CD8+ cells expressed this antigen, whereas only 40-60% of these cells expressed either CD45RA or CD29 antigens. These results suggest that anti-CD45RA and anti-CD29 antibodies may provide useful tools for distinguishing between suppressor effector versus killer effector and killer precursor cells within the CD8+CD11b- population.

Abstract
At least two membrane receptors have been defined through which human T lymphocytes can be induced to proliferate and differentiate, namely the CD3-Ti antigen receptor complex and the CD2 molecule. Monoclonal antibodies directed at either CD2 or CD3 induce intracellular second messenger production and subsequent protein phosphorylation. On most human non-B lymphocytes, CD3-Ti and CD2 are coexpressed and seem to be functionally interrelated. But there are minor subpopulations in which these receptor systems can transduce signals despite a mutually exclusive expression, indicating that CD3-Ti and CD2 can act independently of each other. This view is supported by the finding that most monoclonal antibodies directed at the CD45 molecules are strongly co-mitogenic with CD2 but not CD3 monoclonal antibodies. As the intracytoplasmic domains of CD45 have tyrosine phosphatase activity these functional effects could be explained by a physical association between CD2 and CD45. Using chemical crosslinking techniques, we now show that CD45 is linked to CD2 on the surface of human T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Ly-5 (CD45) glycoproteins of the mouse, expressed by all or most hematopoietic cell lineages and specified by a single Ly-5 gene, range in size from isoform T200 of T cells (the smallest), in which exons 4, 5, and 6 are not represented, to isoform B220 of B cells (the largest), in which all three of these optional exons are represented. The main purpose of the present study, utilizing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), was to ascertain whether known isoforms of intermediate size are generated by single or dual usage of optional exons 4, 5, and 6. Transcripts representing all eight isoforms predictable from varied use of three exons were observed among a diverse panel of nine B-cell tumors in culture, but there was no evident concordance with known contrasting differential features that distinguish members of the B-cell tumor panel. No two B tumors exhibited the same variety of transcripts and the relative quantities of transcripts expressed varied greatly from tumor to tumor. Cloning of B-cell tumors did not alter their distinctive transcript patterns. Separation methods (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; SDS-PAGE) did not suffice to segregate all corresponding expressed isoforms but did establish that transcripts representing usage of a single optional exon and of two optional exons were actually translated, which supports a provisional inference that all eight isoforms exist. The considerable diversity of B-cell transcript phenotypes was not seen among seven T-cell leukemias, two cytolytic T-cell lines, and three Th 1 helper T-cell lines, all of which displayed a uniform phenotype comprising major expression of the T200 transcript (no optional exon) and minor expression of a transcript employing exon 5. However, a panel of five cloned Th2 T-cell lines, which represent a second and functionally different branch of the helper/inducer T-cell category, exhibited a characteristic transcript pattern which distinguished them from a panel of three Th1 T-cell lines. The major transcript in the Th2 lines was also T200, but the Th2 lines showed higher representation of transcripts containing optional exons. A single Th2 clone expressed an unusual transcript suggesting a potential isoform not compounded simply by varied inclusion of the three identified optional exons. After activation of the helper T-cell lines with concanavalin A (Con A), expression of transcripts containing optional exons appeared to decrease.

Abstract
Understanding the intracellular mechanisms by which binding of ligands, such as hormones and growth factors, to their specific receptors elicits the appropriate cellular response has long been a topic of great interest. Considerable excitement was generated when it was recognised that several receptor-ligand interactions operate via the hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids. This yields, at least, two 'second messengers', namely, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], which causes the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, and 1,2-diacylglycerol (ac2Gro), which activates the serine/threonine-specific enzyme, protein kinase C(PKC), reviewed in [1] and [2]. The pertinent question that follows is, how do PKC activation and elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration evoke cell responses? In this review, attention has been focused on PKC, and the consequences of its activation in resting human T cells. Evidence that PKC activity is, at least partially, responsible for activation of resting human T cells will be examined, and some of the more recent research investigating how PKC activation elicits this cell response will be described.

Abstract
Although the thymus is the source of all mature peripheral T lymphocytes, the majority of thymocytes die intrathymically. Until recently, there has been no phenotypic marker to allow definition of the generative thymocyte lineage, thereby distinguishing those thymocytes committed to death from those which will eventually give rise to thymic emigrants. We believe that expression of the high-molecular-mass isoforms (p190, p205, and/or p220) of the leukocyte common antigen (CD45) distinguishes the thymic generative lineage from the vast majority of thymocytes expressing the low-molecular-mass isoform (p180) of CD45 and committed to die within the thymus. The thymocytes defined by their lack of CD45 p180, the low-molecular-mass isoform, comprise all thymocytes with clonogenic potential and include all major subsets defined by CD4 and CD8. We have proposed that a CD45 p180- lineage exists in the human thymus and that this lineage results in the production of mature thymocytes and thymic emigrants. The objective of the present study was to determine by DNA analysis whether the degree of cell cycling in subsets of human thymus, defined by selective expression of high-molecular-mass isoforms of CD45, was sufficient to account for the generation of thymic emigrants. Multicolor immunofluorescence analysis of surface markers and 7-amino actinomycin D as well as propidium iodide staining was used to measure the DNA content of thymic subsets. Negative depletion methods were used to isolate and characterize human thymocyte subsets defined by CD45 isoform, CD3, CD4, and CD8, and subsequently to determine the cell cycle status of the isolated subsets by flow-cytometric analysis of cellular DNA content. CD3-/lo thymocytes had a high number and CD1-/lo thymocytes a low number of cycling cells, consistent with murine data. CD45 p180- cells, as well as the CD4-(8-) and CD3-(4-)(8-) subsets, which express high molecular-weight CD45 isoforms, exhibited a significant number of cycling cells. Since CD45 p180- thymocytes exhibited a significant number of cycling cells, based on numerical arguments we conclude that this cycling thymocyte fraction is capable of generating the daily requirement of mature thymocytes and thymic emigrants.

Abstract
We have studied the expression of antigens characterizing functional T-cell subsets in 32 CD4+ mature T-cell leukaemias. In this analysis we used two monoclonal antibodies (McAb) of the CD45R group (2H4 and GRT22) which have been shown to identify the 'native/virgin' T-cell population that functions as 'suppressor-inducer' cells in vitro, and two McAb, CD29 (4B4) and CD45RO (UCHL1), which characterize non-identical 'memory' cells that proliferate in response to soluble recall antigens and provide help in antigen-specific IgG synthesis. Four groups of CD4+ cases were identified according to this reactivity: (a) 15 CD45R+, CD29+; (b) 13 CD45R-, CD29+; (c) three CD45R-, CD29-; and (d) one case only CD45+, CD29-. The high incidence of coexpression of CD45R and CD29 (47% of cases) is a new finding which contrasts with the mutual exclusion of these antigens on normal CD4+ T-lymphocytes. There was no correlation between subset phenotypes and pathological disease entities. None of the six cases of adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL), which is known as a disorder of activated 'suppressor-inducer' cells, had the 'expected' CD45R+, CD29- phenotype. Reactivity with UCHL1 showed a good correlation with CD29 in the CD45R- CD29+ cases which included three with ATLL. These results may help in the further characterization of T-cell malignancies according to functional subgroups and may clarify further the role of T-differentiation antigens in health and disease.

Abstract
We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding the major protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (protein-tyrosine-phosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.48) of human placenta. Degenerate oligonucleotides, based on the amino acid sequence of the protein, were used to amplify an internal fragment of the gene from human placental cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction. This fragment was then used to probe a human placental cDNA library. A 3.3-kilobase (kb) insert was isolated and sequenced. The insert has a single extended open reading frame that predicts a 435 amino acid protein of Mr approximately 50,000. From the amino terminus to residue 321, the deduced amino acid sequence is identical to that previously determined by peptide sequencing [Charbonneau, H., Tonks, N. K., Kumar, S., Diltz, C. D., Harrylock, M., Cool, D. E., Krebs, E. G., Fischer, E. H. & Walsh, K. A. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 5252-5256]; however, the sequence predicts that the protein contains an additional 114 amino acids not present in the reported peptide sequence. In vitro translation of the 3.3-kb insert produces a protein of Mr 56,000, in general agreement with the predicted size. The phosphatase gene appears to be present as a single copy in human genomic DNA and is transcribed into a 3.5-kb message in a variety of tissues.

Abstract
p56lck, a lymphocyte-specific member of the src family of cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinases, is associated noncovalently with the cell surface glycoproteins CD4 and CD8, which are expressed on functionally distinct subpopulations of T cells. Using transient coexpression of p56lck with CD4 or CD8 alpha in COS-7 cells, we show that the unique N-terminal region of p56lck binds to the membrane-proximal 10 and 28 cytoplasmic residues of CD8 alpha and CD4, respectively. Two cysteine residues in each of the critical sequences in CD4, CD8 alpha, and p56lck are required for association. Our results suggest a novel role for cysteine-mediated interactions between unrelated proteins and provide a model for the association of other src-like cytoplasmic kinases with transmembrane proteins.

Abstract
We have studied the expression of isoforms of CD45 (leukocyte common antigen, LCA) among T cell precursors using the organ culture system of Jenkinson et al. (Eur. J. Immunol. 1982. 12: 583). These experiments show that cells capable of recolonizing alymphoid embryonic thymic lobes in vitro can be detected in the thymus of fetal and adult mice and are enriched when thymocytes are depleted of cells bearing CD4 or CD8. These data are consistent with results from in vivo experiments of Fowlkes et al. (J. Exp. Med. 1985. 162: 802) indicating that T cell precursors lie within the double-negative (CD4-CD8-) compartment. No precursors were detected among the reciprocal populations of cells bearing CD4 and/or CD8 (single and double positives). Double-negative cell fractions were then divided on the basis of reactivity with monoclonal antibodies RA3-2C2 and RA3-3A1. These antibodies recognize the high molecular weight species of the LCA or, more accurately, a product defined by exon A of the CD45 gene. Recolonizing cells were found predominantly in the CD45RA+ (RA3-2C2 and RA3-3A1 reactive) fraction of double-negative thymocytes; CD45RA- enriched populations had increased efficiency of recolonization and CD45RA- depleted populations had decreased ability to recolonize as compared with the whole CD4-CD8- fraction. To clarify whether progenitors enriched in the CD45RA+ fraction were capable of giving rise to mature CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+ CD8+ cells, we analyzed the progeny of lobes seeded with CD4-CD8-CD45RA+ fractions. After 7-9 days in organ culture the proportion of CD4+, CD8+ or CD4+ CD8+ cells had increased to 35.2%, 18.6% and 23.7%, respectively (mean of five experiments), indicating that progenitors among the CD45RA+ population were indeed multipotent. These results suggest that the majority of T stem cells in the thymus are among thymocytes that express the CD45RA molecule, an hypothesis supported by our finding that removal of CD45RA-expressing cells (using complement and antibody) eliminated recolonizing capacity of thymic cell fractions.

Abstract
The activating combination of CD2 antibodies Leu-5b plus 9.1 stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation in the human T cell line Jurkat. The tyrosine phosphorylation has the same molecular weight pattern as that seen when cells are stimulated on the CD3 receptor with OKT3 antibodies. These data provide evidence that signal transduction by the CD2 receptor is coupled to an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation that is similar to that coupled to the CD3 receptor.

Abstract
Homogeneous preparations of a protein phosphatase that is specific for phosphotyrosyl residues (protein tyrosine phosphatase [PTPase] 1B) were isolated from human placenta and microinjected into Xenopus oocytes. This resulted in an increase in activity of up to 10-fold over control levels, as measured in homogenates with use of an artificial substrate (reduced carboxamidomethylated and maleylated lysozyme). Microinjected PTPase was stable for at least 18 h. It is distributed within the oocyte in a manner similar to the endogenous activity and is suggestive of an interaction with cellular structures or molecules located predominantly in the animal hemisphere. The phosphatase markedly retarded (by up to 5 h) maturation induced by insulin. This, in conjunction with the demonstration that PTPase 1B abolished insulin stimulation of an S6 peptide (RRLSSLRA) kinase concomitant with a decrease in the phosphorylation of tyrosyl residues in a protein with the same apparent Mr as the beta subunit of the insulin and insulinlike growth factor 1 receptors (M. F. Cicirelli, N. K. Tonks, C. D. Diltz, E. H. Fischer, and E. G. Krebs, submitted for publication), provides further support for an essential role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in insulin action. Furthermore, maturation was significantly retarded even when the PTPase was injected 2 to 4 h after exposure of the cells to insulin. PTPase 1B also retarded maturation induced by progesterone and maturation-promoting factor, which presumably do not act through the insulin receptor. These data point to a second site of action of the PTPase in the pathway of meiotic cell division, downstream of the insulin receptor and following the appearance of active maturation-promoting factor.

Abstract
MAP kinase (relative molecular mass, 42,000), a low abundance serine--threonine protein kinase, is transiently activated in many cell types by a variety of mitogens, including insulin, epidermal growth factor, and phorbol esters. In vitro, MAP kinase will phosphorylate and reactivate S6 kinase II previously inactivated by phosphatase treatment. Because many of the stimuli that activate MAP kinase are also stimulators of cell proliferation, and regulation of the cell cycle seems to involve a network of protein kinases, MAP kinase could be important in the transmission of stimuli eventually leading to the progression from G0 to G1 in the cell cycle. Activated MAP kinase contains both phosphotyrosine and phosphothreonine. We report here that MAP kinase can be deactivated completely by treatment with either phosphatase 2A, a protein phosphatase specific for phosphoserine and phosphothreonine, or CD45, a phosphotyrosine-specific protein phosphatase. We demonstrate that MAP kinase is only active when both tyrosyl and threonyl residues are phosphorylated and suggest therefore that the enzyme functions in vivo to integrate signals from two distinct transduction pathways.

Abstract
A rat brain cDNA library was screened by using a mixture of oligonucleotides whose sequences were deduced from the amino acid sequence of a human placental protein-tyrosine-phosphatase (PTPase; EC 3.1.3.48) reported by Charbonneau et al. [Charbonneau, H., Tonks, N. K., Walsh, K. A. & Fischer, E. H. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 7182-7186]. The isolated clones encode a PTPase of 432 amino acids having a mass of 49,679 daltons and showing 97% sequence identity to the corresponding 321 residues of the placental enzyme. The coding sequence of the PTPase was placed behind a bacteriophage T7 promoter and the protein was expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein had a molecular weight of 50,000 by SDS/PAGE analysis and showed an absolute specificity for phosphotyrosine-containing substrates. Northern analysis documented that there were two sizes of RNA, 4.3 and 2.0 kilobases, which encode the PTPase. Both transcripts were present in a number of tissues, and the smaller RNA appears to arise by the use of an alternative polyadenylylation signal. The PTPase was also localized by in situ hybridization in the rat central nervous system. A diffuse pattern of hybridization signal is seen in a number of brain areas, with the hippocampus showing the highest levels of mRNA. Sequences located at the C terminus of the rat brain PTPase contain possible sites for phosphorylation as well as signals which could serve for membrane attachment.

Abstract
A preliminary characterization of the protein phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) activity in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) has been made using two tyrosine-containing peptides and the epidermal growth factor receptor from A-431 cells as substrates. High PTPase activity with a pH optimum near 7.4 was observed in both the membrane and the cytosolic fractions. At least three distinct fractions with PTPase activity were separated on DEAE cellulose columns, indicating that the enzyme is heterogeneous. Vanadate, molybdate, and salts of zinc, copper, and mercury were all effective enzyme inhibitors, although the inhibition was generally incomplete and showed some variation with the enzyme preparation. The difficulty in completely inhibiting PTPase activity in lymphocytes may help explain the variation between laboratories in studies of tyrosine phosphorylation in these cells. Studies with highly purified T lymphocytes obtained by filtration of PBL through nylon wool columns indicated that the activity is present in T cells. Absorption with agarose containing anti-HLe-1, a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody specific for the leukocyte-specific surface protein T-200 (CD45), removed up to 40% of the PTPase activity. Enzyme activity was recovered on the immunoadsorbent after extensive washing, confirming that the enzyme was being bound to the beads. Immunoabsorbents containing other mouse IgG1 antibodies failed to bind PTPase activity, indicating that the binding to beads with anti-HLe-1 antibody is specific. Further characterization of the CD45 and PTPase activities in lymphocytes may provide a better understanding of the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the regulation of proliferation and differentiation in these cells.

Abstract
Rat liver beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase and Vibrio cholerae sialidase were used with cytidine-5'-monophospho-N-acetyl-[3H]neuraminic acid (CMP-[3H]NeuAc) to specifically probe the distribution and sialylation state of Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc residues on N-linked saccharides on the surfaces of murine lymphocytes. The relative extent of exogenous sialyltransferase-mediated sialylation (per cellular protein) was thymocytes greater than T-cells greater than T-cell lymphoma (EL-4) greater than B-cells greater than B-cell lymphoma (AKTB-1b) greater than splenocytes. Prior desialylation increased exogenous resialylation by 23.8-, 13.1-, 7.1-, 7.9-, 7.0-, and 5.3-fold for splenocytes, B-cells, T-cells, EL-4, AKTB-1b, and thymocytes, respectively. Though numerous glycoproteins were labeled, the majority of the Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc residues were detected on a relatively small number of cell surface proteins, many of which are well-defined lymphocyte antigens. Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc residues on thymocytes were found to exist in an undersialylated state on T200 but not on other antigens (e.g., Thy-1). T200 was found to be fully sialylated on mature cells (i.e., hydrocortisone-resistant thymocytes and splenic T-cells), suggesting that its sialylation state is developmentally regulated. These studies indicate that the number, sialylation state, and polypeptide distribution of the penultimate structure, Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc, differ on N-linked saccharides on the surfaces of different lymphocyte populations.
