Abstract
Full activation of TH1 helper T lymphocytes requires ligation of the specific T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) and a second signal provided by costimulator molecule(s) expressed on particular antigen-presenting cells. Stimulation via the TCR complex alone generates a subsequent unresponsive state characterized by an inability to produce interleukin 2. We report here that such anergic cells exhibit multiple alterations in TCR-associated signaling. The basal levels of intracellular free calcium and phosphatidylinositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate are elevated in anergic cells, and the levels fail to increase significantly upon subsequent restimulation. Examination of phospholipase C-gamma 1 reveals evidence for post-translational modification, correlating with increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the molecule. Tyrosine phosphorylation of additional substrates identified from whole-cell lysates also is altered compared to untreated cells, suggesting a modification in net tyrosine kinase activity. Although the level of kinase activity present in TCR/CD3 or Lck immunoprecipitates is modestly altered after induction of anergy, there is a dramatic increase in specific Fyn-associated tyrosine kinase activity in anergic cells and increased phosphorylation of a 110-kDa protein that is coimmunoprecipitated with Fyn. These results are consistent with a model in which anergic TH1 lymphocytes display a fundamental alteration in TCR-mediated tyrosine kinase activity, associated with changes in phospholipase C-gamma 1, inositol phosphates, and intracellular free calcium.

Abstract
CD4 serves as a receptor for major histocompatibility complex class II antigens and as a receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral coat protein gp120. It is coupled to the protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck, an interaction necessary for an optimal response of certain T cells to antigen. In addition to the protein-tyrosine kinase domain, p56lck possesses Src homology 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3) domains as well as a unique N-terminal region. The mechanism by which p56lck generates intracellular signals is unclear, although it has the potential to interact with various downstream molecules. One such downstream target is the lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), which has been found to bind to activated pp60src and receptor-tyrosine kinases. In this study, we verified that PI 3-kinase associates with the CD4:p56lck complex as judged by the presence of PI 3-phosphate generated from anti-CD4 immunoprecipitates and detected by high-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis. However, surprisingly, CD4-p56lck was also found to associate with another lipid kinase, phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI 4-kinase). The level of associated PI 4-kinase was generally higher than PI 3-kinase activity. HIV-1 gp120 and antibody-mediated cross-linking induced a 5- to 10-fold increase in the level of CD4-associated PI 4- and PI 3-kinases. The use of glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins carrying Lck-SH2, Lck-SH3, and Lck-SH2/SH3 domains showed PI 3-kinase binding to the SH3 domain of p56lck, an interaction facilitated by the presence of an adjacent SH2 domain. PI 4-kinase bound to neither the SH2 nor the SH3 domain of p56lck. CD4-p56lck contributes PI 3- and PI 4-kinase to the activation process of T cells and may play a role in HIV-1-induced immune defects.

Abstract
Intracellular signaling from the T cell receptor (TCR)zeta/CD3 complex is likely to be mediated by associated protein tyrosine kinases such as p59fyn(T), ZAP-70, and the CD4:p56lck and CD8:p56lck coreceptors. The nature of the signaling cascade initiated by these kinases, their specificities, and downstream targets remain to be elucidated. The TCR-zeta/CD3:p59fyn(T) complex has previously been noted to coprecipitate a 120/130-kD doublet (p120/130). This intracellular protein of unknown identity associates directly with p59fyn(T) within the receptor complex. In this study, we have shown that this interaction with p120/130 is specifically mediated by the SH2 domain (not the fyn-SH3 domain) of p59fyn(T). Further, based on the results of in vitro kinase assays, p120/130 appears to be preferentially associated with p59fyn(T) in T cells, and not with p56lck. Antibody reprecipitation studies identified p120/130 as a previously described 130-kD substrate of pp60v-src whose function and structure is unknown. TCR-zeta/CD3 induced activation of T cells augmented the tyrosine phosphorylation of p120/130 in vivo as detected by antibody and GST:fyn-SH2 fusion proteins. p120/130 represents the first identified p59fyn(T):SH2 binding substrate in T cells, and as such is likely to play a key role in the early events of T cell activation.

Abstract
Recent work indicates that signaling events resulting from stimulation of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) can be initiated by the CD3 complex (gamma, delta, epsilon) as well as the zeta chains of the receptor. To help characterize the signaling function of CD3 we examined its associated tyrosine kinase activity since induction of tyrosine phosphorylation is one of the earliest signaling events. Our results indicate that at least two kinases, lck and ZAP-70, contribute to the CD3-associated kinase activity. A likely target of this activity is the CD3 complex itself since we observed that TCR stimulation resulted in rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of the CD3 epsilon and delta chains. To examine the function of the CD3 epsilon chain in particular, we constructed a chimera that fused the extracellular and transmembrane domains of CD8 to the cytoplasmic domain of CD3 epsilon. This chimera demonstrated that CD3 epsilon was independently capable of associating with proteins having tyrosine kinase activity, including ZAP-70. Our results show that the kinase activity that associates with the CD3 complex has characteristics that are quite similar to the previously characterized zeta-associated kinase activity. This finding suggests that both these components of the TCR initiate signaling events using a common mechanism. However, differences in their signaling function could result from recognition of distinct substrates.

Abstract
The multimeric Fc gamma RIIIA (CD16) complex is expressed on the surface of natural killer (NK) cells and is composed of a 50-70-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein Fc gamma receptor (CD16), the T cell receptor (TCR)-zeta chain, and the Fc epsilon RI gamma chain. Cross-linking Fc gamma RIIIA initiates the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple substrates including the zeta subunit and causes subsequent cell activation and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The subunits of the Fc gamma RIIIA complex lack intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity, suggesting that receptor-induced tyrosine phosphorylation events are mediated by a nonreceptor PTK. We report here that the human Fc gamma RIIIA is complexed with p56lck, a src-family PTK previously found associated with the CD4 and CD8 receptors on T cells. Upon engagement of the CD16 receptor, p56lck is rapidly (within 30 s) and transiently phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. Several Fc gamma RIIIA-associated proteins are identified in immune complex kinase assays including the TCR-zeta subunit, a p70-90 zeta-associated protein (ZAP), p50a (acidic) and p50b (basic), and p56lck. We demonstrate that the src-family protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, blocks increased intracellular calcium levels and ADCC caused by CD16 cross-linking on NK3.3 cells. Likewise cross-linking CD16 with the protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45, abrogates CD16-induced calcium mobilization. These data suggest that p56lck is physically associated with Fc gamma RIIIA (CD16) and functions to mediate signaling events related to the control of NK cellular cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The T-cell receptor (TCR) zeta subunit is an important component of the TCR complex, involved in signal transduction events following TCR engagement. In this study, we showed that the TCR zeta chain is constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated to similar extents in thymocytes and lymph node T cells. Approximately 35% of the tyrosine-phosphorylated TCR zeta (phospho zeta) precipitated from total cell lysates appeared to be surface associated. Furthermore, constitutive phosphorylation of TCR zeta in T cells occurred independently of antigen stimulation and did not require CD4 or CD8 coreceptor expression. In lymph node T cells that constitutively express tyrosine-phosphorylated TCR zeta, there was a direct correlation between surface TCR-associated protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity and expression of phospho zeta. TCR stimulation of these cells resulted in an increase in PTK activity that coprecipitated with the surface TCR complex and a corresponding increase in the levels of phospho zeta. TCR ligations also contributed to the detection of several additional phosphoproteins that coprecipitated with surface TCR complexes, including a 72-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein. The presence of TCR-associated PTK activity also correlated with the binding of a 72-kDa protein, which became tyrosine phosphorylated in vitro kinase assays, to tyrosine phosphorylated TCR zeta. The cytoplasmic region of the TCR zeta chain was synthesized, tyrosine phosphorylated, and conjugated to Sepharose beads. Only tyrosine-phosphorylated, not nonphosphorylated, TCR zeta beads were capable of immunoprecipitating the 72-kDa protein from total cell lysates. This 72-kDa protein is likely the murine equivalent of human PTK ZAP-70, which has been shown to associate specifically with phospho zeta. These results suggest that TCR-associated PTK activity is regulated, at least in part, by the tyrosine phosphorylation status of TCR zeta.

Abstract
The Src family of tyrosine protein kinases (TPKs) represents a class of closely related intracellular enzymes that participate in the signal transduction pathways in a variety of hemopoietic cells. The Src TPKs associate with multiple cell surface molecules rendering these receptors capable of activating tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular protein targets. Despite phenotypic differences between various hemopoietic cells, the signal transduction pathways that involve Src TPKs demonstrate clear similarities. Accumulating data on the antigen-induced activation in T cells, B cells, and mast cells indicate that the Src TPKs participate in early antigen receptor responses in these cells.

Abstract
T cell antigen receptor (TCR) activation involves interactions between receptor subunits and nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Early steps in signaling through the zeta chain of the TCR were examined in transfected COS-1 cells. Coexpression of the PTK p59fynT, but not p56lck, with zeta or with a homodimeric TCR beta-zeta fusion protein produced tyrosine phosphorylation of both zeta and phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1, as well as calcium ion mobilization in response to receptor cross-linking. CD45 coexpression enhanced these effects. No requirement for the PTKZAP-70 was observed. Thus, p59fynT may link zeta directly to the PLC-gamma 1 activation pathway.

Abstract
The Src-related tyrosine kinase p59fyn(T) plays an important role in the generation of intracellular signals from the T-cell antigen receptor TCR zeta/CD3 complex. A key question concerns the nature and the binding sites of downstream components that interact with this Src-related kinase. p59fyn(T) contains Src-homology 2 and 3 domains (SH2 and SH3) with a capacity to bind to intracellular proteins. One potential downstream target is phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase). In this study, we demonstrate that anti-CD3 and anti-Fyn immunoprecipitates possess PI 3-kinase activity as assessed by TLC and HPLC. Both free and receptor-bound p59fyn(T) were found to bind to the lipid kinase. Further, our results indicate that Src-related kinases have developed a novel mechanism to interact with PI 3-kinase. Precipitation using GST fusion proteins containing Fyn SH2, SH3, and SH2/SH3 domains revealed that PI 3-kinase bound principally to the SH3 domain of Fyn. Fyn SH3 bound directly to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase as expressed in a baculoviral system. Anti-CD3 crosslinking induced an increase in the detection of Fyn SH3-associated PI 3-kinase activity. Thus PI 3-kinase is a target of SH3 domains and is likely to play a major role in the signals derived from the TCR zeta/CD3-p59fyn complex.

Signal transduction through the T cell receptor for antigen, the TcR/CD3 complex, involves phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the CD3-zeta chain. Since both CD3-epsilon and the zeta chain contain a tyrosine-based signaling motif, we examine phosphorylation of CD3-epsilon in human T cells. Engagement of the TcR/CD3 complex induced tyrosine phosphorylation of CD3-epsilon in vivo. Induction of CD3-epsilon phosphorylation followed similar kinetics to that of the zeta chain phosphorylation. In contrast to zeta, CD3-epsilon phosphorylation was strictly dependent upon cell surface expression of this member of the TcR/CD3 complex. Chemical and proteolytic cleavage combined with peptide-specific Western blotting established that CD3-epsilon phosphorylation occurred in the two tyrosine residues located in the signal transduction motif in the C-terminal portion of the molecule. Taken together, these data indicated that phosphorylation of CD3-epsilon by tyrosine protein kinases may serve to couple the TcR/CD3 complex to other effector molecules in the signaling cascade.

Abstract
The transmembrane receptor for immunoglobulin G immune complexes on natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages, Fc gamma RIIIA (CD16), mediates cellular activation through a tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway. We show that Fc gamma RIII crosslinking results in activation of the src-related kinase p56lck in NK cells and demonstrate a physical association of p56lck with Fc gamma RIIIA in immunoprecipitates from NK cells obtained using anti-Fc gamma RIII antibodies or immune complexes. Our studies show that the zeta chain, the signal transducing subunit of Fc gamma RIIIA and of T cell receptor, associates with p56lck and, in NK cells, is a substrate for this kinase. Such direct association of p56lck with the zeta subunit as confirmed by demonstrating the interaction in heterologous cells transfected with cDNA expressing p56lck and zeta. Our findings demonstrate both functional and physical association of p56lck with Fc gamma RIIIA, through direct interaction of the kinase with the zeta and/or the gamma signal transducer subunits of the receptor. These data suggest a possible mechanism by which activation via Fc gamma RIIIA occurs.

Abstract
The B-cell surface molecule CD22, when cross-linked, modulates signaling through the surface IgM (sIgM)-B-cell receptor (BCR) complex. Here we analyzed the basis of this interaction between CD22 and the human sIgM complex. After lysis of B cells or B-cell lines in digitonin, CD22 coimmunoprecipitated a kinase activity that in vitro-phosphorylated two polypeptides of 150 and 130 kDa on tyrosine residues. By immunoblot analysis with a rabbit anti-serum specific for a synthetic peptide of CD22, we found these proteins to be CD22 itself. Furthermore, the phosphorylated 150-kDa CD22 was found in the sIgM-BCR complex maintained by digitonin, along with Ig alpha/mb-1, Ig beta/B29, and a 75-kDa polypeptide precipitated by an antiserum specific to protein-tyrosine kinase PTK72. CD22 is likely to be an important signaling partner in the sIgM-BCR complex since it is very rapidly and strikingly phosphorylated after sIgM is cross-linked and since it contains the antigen recognition homology I (ARHI) motif, present in other antigen receptor molecules.

Abstract
A conserved sequence motif has been identified in a number of signaling subunits associated with hematopoietic cell antigen receptors. Here, we characterize signaling by a 17 amino acid motif that is triplicated in the T cell antigen receptor zeta chain. Analysis of zeta truncations and constructs containing the isolated motif demonstrates that this motif is sufficient for the induction of both proximal and distal events associated with T cell activation. Stimulation of truncations that contain either one, two, or three copies of the motif results in induction of an identical pattern of tyrosine phosphoproteins. Moreover, triplication of the NH2-terminal zeta motif results in enhanced signaling, suggesting a redundant role in signal amplification for the three motifs in zeta. Finally, we demonstrate the association of a recently identified protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 with this motif, and provide evidence for its involvement in zeta function.

Abstract
The T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) is a complex of at least six different proteins (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta) that is assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transported to the cell surface. Unlike mature T cells, most immature CD4+CD8+ thymocytes retain within the ER and degrade greater than 90% of some of the TCR components they synthesize, resulting in low surface expression of TCR complexes. The few surface TCR complexes that most immature CD4+CD8+ thymocytes do express are only marginally capable of transducing signals mobilizing intracellular calcium. The inverse relationship with TCR expression and function suggested that phosphorylated zeta (P-zeta) molecules might function in CD4+CD8+ thymocytes either as an ER retention signal for newly synthesized TCR complexes or as a negative regulatory modification of TCR complexes present on the cell surface. The present study sought to evaluate these two possibilities by determining the subcellular location of TCR complexes containing P-zeta chains. We found that, unlike unmodified zeta chains, all P-zeta chains in CD4+CD8+ thymocytes existed in assembled TCR complexes and that all TCR complexes containing P-zeta molecules had undergone carbohydrate processing events indicative of transit through the Golgi apparatus. These results demonstrate that P-zeta chains are exclusively associated with mature TCR complexes, excluding the possibility that P-zeta serves as an ER retention signal in immature thymocytes. Although we could not directly determine the representation of P-zeta chains among surface TCR complexes, we found that 60-70% of surface TCR complexes on immature CD4+CD8+ thymocytes were associated with tyrosine-phosphorylated protein(s) and that this percentage was inversely correlated with their signaling competence. These results support the concept that tyrosine phosphorylation serves as a negative regulatory modification of certain TCR-associated proteins.

Abstract
Protein-tyrosine kinases have been implicated in signal transduction in T lymphocytes after stimulation of many cell-surface molecules, including the T-cell antigen receptor, CD4, CD8, CD2, CD5, and CD28. Yet the identities of many of these tyrosine kinases remain unknown. We have isolated a murine tyrosine kinase gene, called Tsk for T-cell-specific kinase, that appears to be exclusively expressed in T lymphocytes. The Tsk cDNA clone encodes a polypeptide of 70 kDa, which is similar in sequence to both the src and abl families of tyrosine kinases. Sequence comparisons also indicate that Tsk contains one src-homology region 2 domain and one src-homology 3 domain but lacks the negative regulatory tyrosine (src Tyr-527) common to src-family kinases. In addition, Tsk expression is developmentally regulated. Steady-state Tsk mRNA levels are 5- to 10-fold higher in thymocytes than in peripheral T cells and increase in the thymus during mouse development from neonate to adult. Furthermore, Tsk is expressed in day 14 fetal thymus, suggesting a role for Tsk in early T-lymphocyte differentiation.

Abstract
The activation of B lymphocytes from resting cells proceeds from the events of early activation to clonal proliferation to final differentiation into either an antibody-secreting plasma cell or a memory B cell. This is a complex activation process marked by several alternative pathways, depending on the nature of the initial antigenic stimulus. Over the past 5-10 years, there has been an explosion of studies examining the biochemical nature of various steps in these pathways. Some of that progress is reviewed here. In particular, we have described in detail what is known about the structure and function of the AgR, as this molecule plays a pivotal role in B cell responses of various types. We have also reviewed recent progress in understanding the mechanism of action of contact-dependent T cell help and of the cytokine receptors, particularly the receptors for IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6. Clearly, all of these areas represent active areas of investigation and great progress can be anticipated in the next few years.

Abstract
When T cells are activated via the T cell receptor (TCR) complex a number of cellular substrates, including some cell surface proteins, become phosphorylated on tyrosine (Tyr) residues. Phosphorylation of cytoplasmic Tyr renders these cell surface receptors competent to interact with proteins that link cell surface receptors to protein in the intracellular signaling pathways. Here we show that Tyr residues in the cytoplasmic domain of CD6 become phosphorylated upon T cell activation via the TCR complex. Tyr phosphorylation was observed when the T cells were activated by crosslinking CD3 or by cocrosslinking CD3 with CD2 or CD4, but not when the cells were stimulated by crosslinking CD2, CD4, or CD28 alone. Unlike other Tyr kinase substrates, such as the phospholipase C gamma 1-associated pp35/36 protein, whose level of Tyr phosphorylation is highest when T cells are activated by cocrosslinking CD3 with CD2, the levels of CD6 Tyr phosphorylation are highest when T cells were activated by cocrosslinking CD3 with CD4.

Abstract
The role of cytosolic and membrane-associated phosphatases in regulating dephosphorylation of the CD3 antigen gamma-chain has been investigated using streptolysin-O-permeabilized T lymphoblasts and Jurkat T leukaemia cells. Permeabilization of T cells caused a rapid extrusion of cytosolic type 2A phosphatases, but a membrane-associated phosphorylase phosphatase activity remained inside the cells. This activity had the properties characteristic of type 2A phosphatases, being resistant to inhibition by type 1 phosphatase inhibitors, though it was inhibited in a time-dependent manner by ATP or by non-hydrolysable ATP analogues, but not by GTP, CTP, ITP or PPi. The membrane-associated type 2A phosphatase in permeabilized cells did not dephosphorylate the CD3 antigen gamma-chain, suggesting that cytosolic phosphatases dephosphorylate the gamma-chain in situ. Cross-linking the CD2 and CD3 antigens with a bivalent monoclonal antibody in the absence of cytosolic phosphatases induced marked phosphorylation of the CD3 gamma-chain, immunoprecipitated using a novel gamma-chain peptide analogue directed antiserum (TG1). Phosphorylation was inhibited by a protein kinase C (PKC) pseudosubstrate inhibitor, indicating that CD2/CD3-induced gamma-chain phosphorylation is a PKC-mediated event. Activation of T cells either with phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate or by CD2-CD3 cross-linking caused [32P]Pi incorporation into the same gamma-chain Ser residues. The site-mapping data suggested that PKC in situ may incorporate phosphate at the CD3 gamma-chain Ser-123 and Ser-126 residues, but that phosphate is rapidly lost from Ser-123 by cytosolic phosphatase action. Our findings underline the importance of the dual actions of kinases and phosphatases as potential regulators of T cell antigen-receptor complex function.

Abstract
Engagement of high-affinity IgE receptors leads to activation of tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases and the immediate phosphorylation of receptor beta (serine and tyrosine) and gamma (threonine and tyrosine) chains. Receptor disengagement leads to dephosphorylation of beta and gamma chains via the action of undefined phosphatases. Here we have identified five distinct polypeptides associated with the high-affinity IgE-receptor tetrameric complex, which apparently become phosphorylated and dephosphorylated in sequence with the beta and gamma chains. Like beta chain, polypeptides pp180, pp48, pp42, and pp28 are phosphorylated on serine and tyrosine, whereas pp125 is only phosphorylated on serine. The phosphorylation of each of these receptor-associated polypeptides is antigen-dose dependent and is restricted to activated receptor complexes. Furthermore the physical association between pp125 and the receptor is quantitatively affected by receptor phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, indicating a coupling-uncoupling mechanism. Finally, in vitro kinase experiments show that activated receptor complexes are also physically associated with tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases as part of a larger complex containing the phosphorylated polypeptides.

Abstract
In this work we report that CD5, a T cell accessory activation antigen and receptor for the B cell surface protein CD72, is associated with the T cell antigen receptor (TcR)/CD3 complex in human T lymphocytes. In vitro phosphorylation of either CD3 or CD5 immunoprecipitates prepared from CD3-stimulated Jurkat and peripheral blood T cells in the presence of the detergent polyoxyethelene 10 oleyl ether (Brij96) showed, unexpectedly, an identical pattern of five phosphopolypeptides of 70, 59, 56, 21 and 18 kDa, respectively. Peptide mapping of the five bands demonstrated that the same protein kinase substrates co-precipitated with both CD3 and CD5 and that the majority of the protein phosphorylation occurred on tyrosine residues. These data suggested that the TcR/CD3 complex and and the CD5 antigen might be associated in T cells. Evidence to support this hypothesis was obtained from analysis of immunoprecipitates prepared from surface-iodinated T cells. Bands characteristic of the TcR and CD3 antigens were identified in CD5 immunoprecipitates and conversely, CD5 was identified in CD3 immunoprecipitates. Conformation that CD3 and CD5 co-precipitated in the presence of Brij96 was obtained by Western blotting. Quantitative immunodepletion demonstrated that between 10%-20% of cell surface CD5 was associated with the TcR/CD3 complex in Brij96 detergent lysates of human T cells and, furthermore, that this association was independent of T cell activation. The association of these two receptors provides a possible physical basis for the accessory role of the CD5 antigen in T cell activation.

Abstract
p56lck, a member of the src family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, is expressed predominantly in T cells where it associates with the T-cell surface molecules CD4 and CD8. Mutants of CD4 and CD8 that have lost the ability to associate with p56lck no longer enhance antigen-induced T-cell activation. This suggests that p56lck plays an important role during T-cell activation. In an effort to understand the function of p56lck in T cells, a constitutively activated lck gene (F505lck) was introduced into T-helper hybridoma cell lines by retroviral infection. In four T-cell lines we examined, the activated lck protein stimulated interleukin-2 (IL-2) production, a hallmark of T-cell activation, in the absence of antigenic stimulation. In addition, a marked increase in antigen-independent IL-2 production was apparent when T cells infected with a temperature-sensitive F505lck were shifted to the permissive temperature. Only one cell line expressing F505lck exhibited increased sensitivity to antigenic stimulation. The SH3 domain of p56lck was dispensable for the induction of antigen-independent IL-2 production. In contrast, deletion of the majority of the SH2 domain of p56F505lck reduced its ability to induce spontaneous IL-2 production markedly. Activated p60c-src also induced antigen-independent IL-2 production, whereas two other tyrosine kinases, v-abl and the platelet-derived growth factor receptor, did not. Tyrosine phosphorylation of a 70-kDa cellular protein was observed after cross-linking of CD4 in T cells expressing F505lck but not in cells expressing F527src.

Abstract
The identity of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) involved in T cell activation pathways remains unclear. We identified a 68-kD GTP-binding protein associated with the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex using immunoprecipitation and GTP-affinity labeling techniques. Proteins coimmunoprecipitated with the TCR/CD3 complex in digitonin lysate of a human leukemic T cell line, MOLT 16, were incubated with alpha-[32P]GTP and irradiated with ultraviolet rays to covalently link the labeled GTP to GTP-binding proteins. They were then analyzed by electrophoresis. The 68-kD protein exhibited nucleotide specificity for GTP-binding and was insensitive to cholera and pertussis toxins. The 68-kD GTP-binding protein could be coimmunoprecipitated with the TCR/CD3 complex but not with other surface molecules such as major histocompatibility complex class I and lymphocyte function associated-1, which do not cause rapid Ca2+ mobilization. These suggest that the 68-kD GTP-binding protein is specifically associated with the TCR/CD3 complex.

Abstract
To characterize the signal transduction through the antigen receptor (AgR) on human B lymphocytes, we analyzed its association with other molecular components. The surface IgM (sIgM) complex isolated in digitonin contains two surface expressed polypeptides--the previously described Ig alpha and Ig beta proteins--covalently linked to each other in a 48/39-kDa heterodimer. We show herein that the human sIgM complex isolated from the Burkitt's lymphoma cell line, Ramos, or from dense tonsillar B cells contains additional molecules--160 kDa and 75 kDa in size--and enzymatic activities able to phosphorylate on tyrosine as well as serine/threonine residues the 39-, 48-, 75- and 160-kDa polypeptides. By specific immunoprecipitation with antibodies to src-family kinases, we consistently detected p56lyn in the sIgM complex. In the Ramos cell line, both p56lck and p59fyn activity were also observed, although to a much lesser extent than p56lyn. These kinases are associated with sIgM before cell stimulation. As shown by two-dimensional electrophoresis, they interact in a tight complex with multimeric forms of the Ig alpha and Ig beta components. The kinases are active in vitro but must be highly regulated in vivo: Western blotting with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies revealed that stimulation of the AgR on viable B cells increased detectable phosphotyrosine residues on the components present in the sIgM complex. Based on these phosphorylation changes, the 39-, 48-, 75- and 160-kDa molecules are likely to be functionally active elements in an IgM complex crucial for the transduction of the antigenic signal.

Abstract
When T cells are activated by the T-cell antigen receptor, a number of cellular proteins are phosphorylated on tyrosine. We investigated whether any of these proteins were present on the surface of activated T cells. Using the human leukemic T-cell line Jurkat and normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, we identified a 67-kDa cell surface glycoprotein in anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates, after treatment of the cells with CD3 antibody. When cell lysates were depleted of CD5 by sequential immunoprecipitation, the 67-kDa phosphotyrosyl polypeptide was no longer precipitated by the phosphotyrosine antibody. Western blot analysis of anti-phosphotyrosine precipitates confirmed that this glycoprotein was CD5. It was possible that CD5 was present in the anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates due to its physical association with phosphotyrosyl proteins rather than being directly tyrosine-phosphorylated itself. However, Western blot analysis of anti-CD5 immunoprecipitates with phosphotyrosine antibody and phosphoamino acid analysis demonstrated that CD5 was indeed phosphorylated on tyrosine after stimulation of the cells with CD3 antibody and was concomitantly phosphorylated on serine and threonine. Tyrosine phosphorylation of CD5 was maximal 2 min after CD3 stimulation and returned to baseline levels by 60 min. CD5 is expressed on the cell surface of all mature T cells and a small proportion of B lymphocytes and has recently been identified as the ligand for CD72, a receptor present on the surface of all B cells. The present data suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation may be involved in B-cell-T-cell communication.

Abstract
To understand the mechanism(s) by which p56lck participates in T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling, we have examined the effects of mutations in known regulatory domains of p56lck on the ability of F505 p56lck to enhance the responsiveness of an antigen-specific murine T-cell hybridoma. A mutation of the amino-terminal site of myristylation (glycine 2), which prevents stable association of p56lck with the plasma membrane, completely abolished the ability of F505 p56lck to enhance TCR-induced tyrosine protein phosphorylation. Alteration of the major site of in vitro autophosphorylation, tyrosine 394, to phenylalanine diminished the enhancement of TCR-induced tyrosine protein phosphorylation by F505 p56lck. Such a finding is consistent with the previous demonstration that this site is required for full activation of p56lck by mutation of tyrosine 505. Strikingly, deletion of the noncatalytic Src homology domain 2, but not of the Src homology domain 3, markedly reduced the improvement of TCR-induced tyrosine protein phosphorylation by F505 Lck. Additional studies revealed that all the mutations tested, including deletion of the Src homology 3 region, abrogated the enhancement of antigen-triggered interleukin-2 production by F505 p56lck, thus implying more stringent requirements for augmentation of antigen responsiveness by F505 Lck. Finally, it was also observed that expression of F505 p56lck greatly increased TCR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gamma 1, raising the possibility that phospholipase C-gamma 1 may be a substrate for p56lck in T lymphocytes. Our results indicate that p56lck regulates T-cell antigen receptor signalling through a complex process requiring multiple distinct structural domains of the protein.

Abstract
Humoral immune responses are initiated by binding of antigen to the immunoglobulins (Igs) on the plasma membrane of B lymphocytes. On the cell surface, Ig forms a complex with several other proteins, two of which, MB-1 and B29, have been implicated in receptor assembly. We have reconstituted Ig receptor function in T lymphocytes by transfection of cloned receptor components. We found that efficient transport of IgM to the surface of T cells required coexpression of B29. Furthermore, IgM and B29 alone were sufficient to reconstitute antigen-specific signal transduction by Ig in the transfected T cells. Crosslinking of IgM with either antireceptor antibodies or antigen induced a calcium flux, phosphoinositol turnover, and interleukin secretion in T cells. These experiments establish a requirement for B29 in Ig receptor function, and suggest that the signaling apparatus of T and B cells is structurally homologous.

Abstract
The T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) complex is the key structure involved in signal transduction in T cells. To analyze associations between the TCR complex and other molecules, immunoprecipitations were carried out, followed by phosphorylation of molecules in vitro by tyrosine kinases associated with the precipitated molecules. This provided a sensitive assay for molecular complexes, and associations were demonstrated between the TCR complex and the surface antigens CD2, CD4, or CD8 and CD5 in normal rat T cells. The complexes were readily seen in immunoprecipitates from Brij 96 but not Nonidet P-40 detergent extracts. The multimolecular complexes are associated with the internal tyrosine kinases p56lck and p59fyn. The presence of p56lck associated with CD4 or CD8 was also examined in early thymocytes, natural killer cells, and macrophages. The kinase was present in all cases except that of normal macrophages.
