Tyrosine 192 within the SH2 domain of the Src-protein tyrosine kinase p56 Lck regulates T-cell activation independently of Lck/CD45 interactions. Cell Commun Signal 2020; 18:183. [PMID: 33225946 PMCID: PMC7682018 DOI: 10.1186/s12964-020-00673-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Upon engagement of the T-cell receptor (TCR), the Src-family protein tyrosine kinase p56Lck phosphorylates components of the TCR (e.g. the TCRζ chains), thereby initiating T-cell activation. The enzymatic activity of Lck is primarily regulated via reversible and dynamic phosphorylation of two tyrosine residues, Y394 and Y505. Lck possesses an additional highly conserved tyrosine Y192, located within the SH2 domain, whose role in T-cell activation is not fully understood. METHODS Knock-in mice expressing a phospho-mimetic (Y192E) form of Lck were generated. Cellular and biochemical characterization was performed to elucidate the function of Y192 in primary T cells. HEK 293T and Jurkat T cells were used for in vitro studies. RESULTS Co-immunoprecipitation studies and biochemical analyses using T cells from LckY192E knock-in mice revealed a diminished binding of LckY192E to CD45 and a concomitant hyperphosphorylation of Y505, thus corroborating previous data obtained in Jurkat T cells. Surprisingly however, in vitro kinase assays showed that LckY192E possesses a normal enzymatic activity in human and murine T cells. FLIM/FRET measurements employing an LckY192E biosensor further indicated that the steady state conformation of the LckY192E mutant is similar to Lckwt. These data suggest that Y192 might regulate Lck functions also independently from the Lck/CD45-association. Indeed, when LckY192E was expressed in CD45-/-/Csk-/- non-T cells (HEK 293T cells), phosphorylation of Y505 was similar to Lckwt, but LckY192E still failed to optimally phosphorylate and activate the Lck downstream substrate ZAP70. Furthermore, LckY19E was recruited less to CD3 after TCR stimulation. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, phosphorylation of Y192 regulates Lck functions in T cells at least twofold, by preventing Lck association to CD45 and by modulating ligand-induced recruitment of Lck to the TCR. MAJOR FINDINGS Our data change the current view on the function of Y192 and suggest that Y192 also regulates Lck activity in a manner independent of Y505 phosphorylation. Video Abstract.

Abstract
CD45 is an evolutionary highly conserved receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase exclusively expressed on all nucleated cells of the hematopoietic system. It is characterized by the expression of several isoforms, specific to a certain cell type and the developmental or activation status of the cell. CD45 is one of the key players in the initiation of T cell receptor signaling by controlling the activation of the Src family protein-tyrosine kinases Lck and Fyn. CD45 deficiency results in T- and B-lymphocyte dysfunction in the form of severe combined immune deficiency. It also plays a significant role in autoimmune diseases and cancer as well as in infectious diseases including fungal infections. The knowledge collected on CD45 biology is rather vast, but it remains unclear whether all findings in rodent immune cells also apply to human CD45. This review focuses on human CD45 expression and function and provides an overview on its ligands and role in human pathology.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking of reactive groups in native proteins and protein complexes in combination with the identification of cross-linked sites by mass spectrometry has been in use for more than a decade. Recent advances in instrumentation, cross-linking protocols, and analysis software have led to a renewed interest in this technique, which promises to provide important information about native protein structure and the topology of protein complexes. In this article, we discuss the critical steps of chemical cross-linking and its implications for (structural) biology: reagent design and cross-linking protocols, separation and mass spectrometric analysis of cross-linked samples, dedicated software for data analysis, and the use of cross-linking data for computational modeling. Finally, the impact of protein cross-linking on various biological disciplines is highlighted.

Abstract
Protein complexes are common in nature and play important roles in biology, but studying the quaternary structure formation in vitro is challenging since it involves lengthy and expensive biochemical steps. There are frequent technical difficulties as well with the sensitivity and resolution of the assays. In this regard, a technique that can analyze protein-protein interactions in high throughput would be a useful experimental tool. Here, we introduce a combination of yeast display and disulfide trapping that we refer to as stabilization of transient and unstable complexes by engineered disulfide (STUCKED) that can be used to detect the formation of a broad spectrum of protein complexes on the yeast surface using fluorescence labeling. The technique uses an engineered intersubunit disulfide to covalently crosslink the subunits of a complex, so that the disulfide-trapped complex can be displayed on the yeast surface for detection and analysis. Transient protein complexes are difficult to display on the yeast surface, since they may dissociate before they can be detected due to a long induction period in yeast. To this end, we show that three different quaternary structures with the subunit dissociation constant K(d) approximately 0.5-20 microM, the antibody variable domain (Fv), the IL-8 dimer, and the p53-MDM2 complex, cannot be displayed on the yeast surface as a noncovalent complex. However, when we introduce an interchain disulfide between the subunits, all three systems are efficiently displayed on the yeast surface, showing that disulfide trapping can help display protein complexes that cannot be displayed otherwise. We also demonstrate that a disulfide forms only between the subunits that interact specifically, the displayed complexes exhibit functional characteristics that are expected of wt proteins, the mutations that decrease the affinity of subunit interaction also reduce the display efficiency, and most of the disulfide stabilized complexes are formed within the secretory pathway during export to the surface. Disulfide crosslinking is therefore a convenient way to study weak protein association in the context of yeast display.

Abstract
The leukocyte common antigen, CD45, is a critical immune regulator whose activity is modulated by cytoskeletal interactions. Components of the spectrin-ankyrin cytoskeleton have been implicated in the trafficking and signaling of CD45. We have examined the lateral mobility of CD45 in resting and activated T lymphocytes using single-particle tracking and found that the receptor has decreased mobility caused by increased cytoskeletal contacts in activated cells. Experiments with cells that have disrupted betaI spectrin interactions show decreased cytoskeletal contacts in resting cells and attenuation of receptor immobilization in activated cells. Applying two types of population analyses to single-particle tracking trajectories, we find good agreement between the diffusion coefficients obtained using either a mean squared displacement analysis or a hidden Markov model analysis. Hidden Markov model analysis also reveals the rate of association and dissociation of CD45-cytoskeleton contacts, demonstrating the importance of this analysis for measuring cytoskeleton binding events in live cells. Our findings are consistent with a model in which multiple cytoskeletal contacts, including those with spectrin and ankyrin, participate in the regulation of CD45 lateral mobility. These interactions are a major factor in CD45 immobilization in activated cells. Furthermore, cellular activation leads to CD45 immobilization by reduction of the CD45-cytoskeleton dissociation rate. Short peptides that mimic spectrin repeat domains alter the association rate of CD45 to the cytoskeleton and cause an apparent decrease in dissociation rates. We propose a model for CD45-cytoskeleton interactions and conclude that the spectrin-ankyrin-actin network is an essential determinant of immunoreceptor mobility.

Abstract
To discover novel RA risk loci, we systematically examined 370 SNPs from 179 independent loci with p<0.001 in a published meta-analysis of RA GWAS of 3,393 cases and 12,462 controls1. We used GRAIL2, a computational method that applies statistical text mining to PubMed abstracts, to score these 179 loci for functional relationships to genes in 16 established RA disease loci1,3-11. We identified 22 loci with a significant degree of functional connectivity. We genotyped 22 representative SNPs in an independent set of 7,957 cases and 11,958 matched controls. Three validate convincingly: CD2/CD58 (rs11586238, p=1×10−6 replication, p=1×10−9 overall), and CD28 (rs1980422, p=5×10−6 replication, p=1×10−9 overall), PRDM1 (rs548234, p=1×10−5 replication, p=2×10−8 overall). An additional four replicate (p<0.0023): TAGAP (rs394581, p=0.0002 replication, p=4×10−7 overall), PTPRC (rs10919563, p=0.0003 replication, p=7×10−7 overall), TRAF6/RAG1 (rs540386, p=0.0008 replication, p=4×10−6 overall), and FCGR2A (rs12746613, p=0.0022 replication, p=2×10−5 overall). Many of these loci are also associated to other immunologic diseases.

Abstract
The functional relevance of a direct ethanol effect on the membrane structure of T lymphocytes and accessory cells (APC), as well as on signal transduction systems was studied in ten normal subjects. Ethanol incubation (80 mM for 24h) of highly purified T cells increased the number of CD4+/CD45RA+ lymphocytes. In contrast, ethanol exposure induced a drop in CD14+/LFA-3+ APC values. These changes were accompanied by faulty T-cell proliferation in response to anti-CD3 and anti-CD2 mAb and inhibition of CD3- and CD2-mediated rises in intracellular calcium and, to a lesser extent, inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate levels. These data clearly indicate that a membrane-specific ethanol interaction both modifies surface glycoproteic and/or glycolipidic structures and alters transmembrane transduction of the activation signals.

Abstract
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD I) is characterized by recurrent and fatal bacterial infections, and caused by the mutation of the CD18 gene. A 9-month-old infant whose umbilical cord separated at day 10 of life had sepsis, complicated otitis media and neutrophilia. Molecular analysis showed homozygous intron 7 (+1) g > a in the CD18 gene, resulting in three splicing transcriptions that inserted 64, 298 (5' end of intron 7), and 1157 (whole intron 7) nucleotides into the 300th amino acid of Ile and stopped at the 326th (inserted 64 and 1157 nucleotides) and the 344th (inserted 64 nucleotides), respectively. The two truncated mutations lost cysteine-rich, transmembrane, and cytoplasma domains. Increased susceptibility to infections correlated to polymorphonuclear cell dysfunction, including absent expression of adhesion molecule (CD11b/CD18), impaired chemotaxis, and decreased phagocytosis. Both his heterozygous parents revealed non-random skewing only to the wild type. The skewing pattern and severe phenotype make stem cell transplantation an optimal option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Accumulation of T lymphocytes in the gut is a hallmark of inflammatory bowel disease probably caused by insufficient T cell apoptosis. Activated peripheral T cells, or "resting" lamina propria T lymphocytes (LPLs), are highly susceptible to apoptosis induction, e.g., using the mitogenic anti-CD2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) pair T11(2+3). It is, however, unknown how CD2-mediated LPL apoptosis is related to proliferation and whether the whole CD2 molecule is required for apoptosis induction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mapping of anti-CD2 mAb was performed using erythrocyte rosetting assays and cross-blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMNCs) or phytohemagglutinin (PHA) blasts were stimulated with a panel of 18 anti-CD2 mAbs followed by apoptosis analysis [Annexin V expression on propidium iodide (PI)-negative cells, 4c6-diamidino-2-phenylindole x 2HCl (DAPI) staining]. Proliferation was measured by [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation. For structural analysis, EL4 cells were used which were transfected with human CD2 (wild type (WT), cytoplasmic-deficient, cytoplasmic CD28). Sorting was performed employing standard techniques RESULTS All three mitogenic anti-CD2 mAb pairs induced apoptosis of LPMNC and PHA blasts. Two out of four submitogenic anti-CD2 mAb, AICD2.M3, and ICRFCD2.3 lead to LPMNC proliferation but no apoptosis. Importantly, apoptosis was also detected in cytoplasmic-deficient CD2 tg or CD2/CD2/CD28 tg EL4 cells. Sorted CD45(high) huCD2 WT EL4 had higher apoptosis rates compared to WT huCD2tg EL4 cells CONCLUSION LPMNC apoptosis induction via CD2 is always associated with proliferation, although proliferation is not necessarily associated with apoptosis. The cytoplasmic tail of CD2 is not required, and CD45 appears to transmit apoptotic signals entering the T cell via CD2.

Abstract
The MRC OX52 monoclonal antibody is a marker of rat T lymphocytes. We have cloned by polymerase chain reaction the rat homologue of CD6, and fluorescein-activated cell sorter analysis and immunoprecipitations using OX52 in COS7 cells transfected with rat CD6 cDNA showed that CD6 is the cell-surface molecule recognized by OX52. Immunoprecipitation analysis showed that CD6 coprecipitated with CD5, which in turn, was coprecipitated equivalently with CD2, CD6, and the T cell receptor (TCR), but the fraction of CD5 associated with CD6 was highly phosphorylated in kinase assays, in marked contrast with the low level of phosphorylation of CD5 associated with TCR or CD2. Examination of protein kinases associating with these antigens showed that paradoxically, CD2 coprecipitated the highest amount of Lck and Fyn. CD6 also associated with Lck, Fyn, and ZAP-70, although at lower levels but additionally coprecipitated the Tec family kinase Itk, which is absent from CD2, CD5, and TCR complexes. Lck together with Itk was the best combination of kinases, effectively phosphorylating synthetic peptides corresponding to a cytoplasmic sequence of CD5. Overall, our results suggest that CD6 has an important role in the regulation of CD5 tyrosine phosphorylation, probably as a result of its unique feature of associating with kinases of different families.

Abstract
Besides the well-recognized role of CD45 as a major player in TCR signaling, we and others have demonstrated that cross-linking of CD45 with mAbs can induce cell death in T lymphocytes. To investigate the role of CD45 phosphatase activity in apoptosis induction, we expressed either wild-type or phosphatase-dead CD45 molecules in a CD45-deficient BW5147 T cell line. We show here that the phosphatase activity of CD45 was not required for apoptosis triggering after cross-linking of the molecule. It is noteworthy that a revertant of the CD45-negative BW5147 cell line, expressing a truncated form of CD45 lacking most of the cytoplasmic domain, was also susceptible to CD45-mediated death. Moreover, we also demonstrate that leukocyte phosphatase-associated phosphoprotein expression is totally dispensable for CD45-mediated apoptosis to occur. Taken together, these results strongly suggest a role for the extracellular and/or the transmembrane portion of CD45 in apoptosis signaling, which contrasts with the previously reported functions for CD45 in T lymphocytes.

Abstract
A 32-bp deletion in CCR5 (CCR5 Delta 32) confers to PBMC resistance to HIV-1 isolates that use CCR5 as a coreceptor. To study this mutation in T cell development, we have screened 571 human thymus tissues for the mutation. We identified 72 thymuses (12.6%) that were heterozygous and 2 (0.35%) that were homozygous for the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation. We found that thymocyte development was normal in both CCR5 Delta 32 heterozygous and homozygous thymuses. In 3% of thymuses we identified a functional polymorphism of CD45RA, in which cortical and medullary thymocytes failed to down-regulate the 200- and 220-kDa CD45RA isoforms during T cell development. Moreover, we found an association of this CD45 functional polymorphism in thymuses with the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation (p = 0.00258). In vitro HIV-1 infection assays with CCR5-using primary isolates demonstrated that thymocytes with the heterozygous CCR5 Delta 32 mutation produced less p24 than did CCR5 wild-type thymocytes. However, the functional CD45RA polymorphism did not alter the susceptibility of thymocytes to HIV-1 infection. Taken together, these data demonstrate association of the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation with a polymorphism in an as yet unknown gene that is responsible for the ability to down-regulate the expression of high m.w. CD45RA isoforms. Although the presence of the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation down-regulates HIV-1 infection of thymocytes, the functional CD45RA polymorphism does not alter the susceptibility of thymocytes to HIV-1 infection in vitro.

Abstract
Leucocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) is an autosomal-recessive genetic disease that is characterized clinically by severe bacterial infections and caused by mutations in the CD18 gene that codes for the beta2 integrin subunit. A patient with a severe LAD phenotype was studied and the molecular basis of the disease was identified as a single homozygous defect in a Herpes virus saimiri (HVS)-transformed T-cell line. The defect identified involves a deletion of 171 bp in the cDNA that encodes part of the proteic extracellular domain. This genetic abnormality was further studied at the genomic DNA level and found to consist of a deletion of 169 bp (from -37 of intron 4 to +132 of exon 5), which abolishes the normal splicing and results in the total skipping of exon 5. The 171-bp shortened 'in-frame' mRNA not only resulted in the absence of CD18 expression on the cell surface but also in its absence in the cytoplasm of HVS T-cell lines. Functionally, the LAD-derived HVS T-cell lines showed a severe, selective T-cell activation impairment in the CD2 (but not in the CD3) pathway. This defect was not reversible when exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2) was added, suggesting that there is also a functional interaction of the lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) protein in the CD2 signal transduction pathway in human T cells, as has been previously reported in mice and in the human Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome. Thus, HVS transformation is not only a suitable model for T-cell immunodeficiency studies and characterization, but is also a good system for investigating the immune system in pathological conditions. It may also be used in the future in cellular models for in vitro gene-therapy trials.

Abstract
A general strategy is presented here for producing glycan-free forms of glycoproteins without loss of function by employing apolar-to-polar mutations of surface residues in functionally irrelevant epitopes. The success of this structure-based approach was demonstrated through the expression in Escherichia coli of a soluble 11 kDa adhesion domain extracted from the heavily glycosylated 55 kDa human CD58 ectodomain. The solution structure was subsequently determined and binding to its counter-receptor CD2 studied by NMR. This mutant adhesion domain is functional as determined by several experimental methods, and the size of its binding site has been probed by chemical shift perturbations in NMR titration experiments. The new structural information supports a 'hand-shake' model of CD2-CD58 interaction involving the GFCC'C" faces of both CD2 and CD58 adhesion domains. The region responsible for binding specificity is most likely localized on the C, C' and C" strands and the C-C' and C'-C" loops on CD58.

Abstract
CD45 is a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase playing an essential role during T-cell activation. This function relates to the ability of CD45 to regulate p56(lck), a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase necessary for T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling. Previous studies have demonstrated that CD45 is constitutively associated in T-lymphocytes with a transmembrane molecule termed CD45-AP (or lymphocyte phosphatase-associated phosphoprotein). Even though the exact role of this polypeptide is unclear, recent analyses of mice lacking CD45-AP have indicated that its expression is also required for optimal T-cell activation. Herein, we wished to understand better the function of CD45-AP. The results of our studies showed that in T-cells, CD45-AP is part of a multimolecular complex that includes not only CD45, but also TCR, the CD4 and CD8 coreceptors, and p56(lck). The association of CD45-AP with TCR, CD4, and CD8 seemed to occur via the shared ability of these molecules to bind CD45. However, binding of CD45-AP to p56(lck) could take place in the absence of other lymphoid-specific components, suggesting that it can be direct. Structure-function analyses demonstrated that such an interaction was mediated by an acidic segment in the cytoplasmic region of CD45-AP and by the kinase domain of p56(lck). Interestingly, the ability of CD45-AP to interact with Lck in the absence of other lymphoid-specific molecules was proportional to the degree of catalytic activation of p56(lck). Together, these findings suggest that CD45-AP is an adaptor molecule involved in orchestrating interactions among components of the antigen receptor signaling machinery. Moreover, they raise the possibility that one of the functions of CD45-AP is to recognize activated Lck molecules and bring them into the vicinity of CD45.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of anti-p59fyn immunoprecipitates obtained from non-transformed resting human T lymphocytes resulted in the identification of an oligomeric protein complex which is constitutively formed between Fyn and several additional phosphoproteins (pp43, pp72, pp85, the protein tyrosine kinase Pyk2, as well as the two recently cloned adaptor proteins, SKAP55 and SLAP-130). With the exception of pp85, these proteins seem to preferentially interact with Fyn since they are not detectable in Lck immunoprecipitates prepared under the same experimental conditions. Among the individual members of the Fyn-complex pp85, SKAP55 and pp43 are constitutively phosphorylated on tyrosine residue(s) in vivo and likely interact with Fyn via its src homology 2 (SH2)-domain. In contrast to non-transformed T lymphocytes, continuously proliferating transformed human T cell lines express an altered Fyn-complex. Thus, despite normal expression and tyrosine phosphorylation, SKAP55 does not associate with Fyn in Jurkat cells and in other human T cell lines. Instead two novel proteins interact with Fyn among which one has previously been identified as alpha-tubulin. Importantly, almost identical alterations of the Fyn-complex as observed in Jurkat cells are induced in non-transformed T lymphocytes following mitogenic stimulation. These data suggest that Fyn and its associated proteins could be involved in the control of human T cell proliferation. Moreover, the analogous constitutive alterations in transformed T cell lines could indicate that deregulation of the Fyn-complex might be functionally associated with the malignant phenotype of these cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant increase in the [Ca2+]i response of single T lymphocytes to mitogenic stimulation with phytohemagglutinin is reported for 27 Alzheimer patients compared with 27 healthy gender- and age-matched control subjects, regardless of gender. METHODS The [Ca2+]i signals of T lymphocytes were assessed using the Fura-2-AM method. RESULTS In Alzheimer's disease (AD) the reaction pattern is similar to that seen in a group of 27 young healthy control subjects who exhibited a marked [Ca2+]i rise after stimulation. During normal aging the reaction pattern of T cells is significantly attenuated in comparison to that found in young subjects. In healthy control subjects differences in age-related changes in calcium homeostasis are highly significant among women, young women showing the most intense cell response. CONCLUSIONS The elevation of [Ca2+]i appears to be a prerequisite for apoptosis, which is suggested to be involved in the neuronal death occurring in AD. An increased [Ca2+]i in AD is consistent with processes leading to neurodegeneration in AD.

Abstract
Class I MHC molecules deliver activation signals to T cells. To analyze the role of the cytoplasmic and the transmembrane (TM) domains of class I MHC molecules in T cell activation, Jurkat cells were transfected with genes for truncated class I MHC molecules which had only four intracytoplasmic amino acids and no potential phosphorylation sites or native molecules or both. Cross-linking either the native or the truncated molecules induced IL-2 production even under limiting stimulation conditions of low engagement of the stimulating mAb. Moreover, direct comparison of transfected truncated and native class I MHC molecules expressed on the same cell revealed significant stimulation induced by cross-linking the truncated molecules, despite low expression. In addition, truncated class I MHC molecules were as able to synergize with CD3, CD2, or CD28 initiated IL-2 production as native molecules. In further experiments, hybrid constructs made of the extracellular portion of the murine CD8 alpha chain and of the TM and the intracytoplasmic domains of H-2Kk class I MHC molecule were transfected into Jurkat T cells. The expression of the transfected hybrid molecules was comparable to that of the native HLA-B7 molecules. Cross-linking the intact monomorphic HLA-A,B,C epitope or the polymorphic HLA-B7 epitope induced IL-2 production upon costimulation with PMA. In contrast, cross-linking the hybrid molecules generated neither an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) nor stimulated IL-2 production. By contrast, cross-linking intact murine class I MHC molecules induced [Ca2+]i, signal and IL-2 production in transfected Jurkat cells. The data therefore indicate that unlike many other signaling molecules, signaling via class I MHC molecules does not involve the cytoplasmic and the TM portions of the molecule, but rather class I MHC signal transduction is likely to be mediated by the extracellular domain of the molecule.

Abstract
Abstract
CD3, CD2, and CD28 are functionally distinct receptors on T lymphocytes. Engagement of any of these receptors induces the rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of a shared group of intracellular signaling proteins, including Vav, Cbl, p85 phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and the Src family kinases Lck and Fyn. Ligation of CD3 also induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of HS1, a 75-kDa hematopoietic cell-specific intracellular signaling protein of unknown function. We have examined changes in HS1 phosphorylation after differential stimulation of CD3, CD2, and CD28 to elucidate its role in T cells and to further delineate the signaling pathways recruited by these receptors. Unlike ligation of CD3, stimulation with anti-CD28 mAb or CHO cells expressing the CD28 ligands CD80 or CD86 did not lead to tyrosine phosphorylation of HS1 in Jurkat T cells. Additionally, no tyrosine phosphorylation of HS1 was induced by mitogenic pairs of anti-CD2 mAbs capable of activating the transcription factor NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells). Costimulation through CD28 and/or CD2 did not modulate the CD3-dependent phosphorylation of HS1. In vivo studies indicated that CD3-induced HS1 phosphorylation was dependent upon both the Src family tyrosine kinase Lck and the tyrosine phosphatase CD45, did not require MEK1 kinase activity, and was regulated by protein kinase C activation. Thus, although CD3, CD28, and CD2 activate many of the same signaling molecules, they differed in their capacity to induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of HS1. Furthermore, activation-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of HS1 was not required for NFAT transcriptional activation.

Abstract
Abstract
T cell activation represents a balance between positive and negative signals delivered via distinct cell surface molecules. Many cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatases are involved in regulating cellular responses by antagonizing the action of protein tyrosine kinases. CD148 is a receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase expressed by all human mononuclear cells. We have investigated the effect of CD148 on TCR-mediated activation of human T cells. Overexpression of wild-type, but not a phosphatase-deficient, CD148 in Jurkat T cells inhibited TCR-mediated activation, evidenced by reduced expression of the early activation Ag CD69, inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation of many intracellular proteins including the critical protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70, and impairment of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Taken together, these results suggest that CD148 is an important phosphatase involved in negatively regulating the proximal signaling events during activation of Ag-specific T cells.

Abstract
Human CD2 is a 50-55-kDa cell surface receptor specifically expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes and NK cells. Stimulation of human peripheral blood T cells with mitogenic pairs of anti-CD2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is sufficient to induce interleukin-2 production and T cell proliferation in the absence of an antigen-specific signal through the T cell receptor. CD2 has been shown previously to associate physically with the Src family protein-tyrosine kinases p56(lck) and p59(fyn). We now report that stimulation of T cells with mitogenic pairs of anti-CD2 mAbs enhanced the association of the Fyn polypeptide with the CD2 complex, whereas stimulation with single anti-CD2 mAb had minimal effect. Using glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins, we found that CD2 bound to the Src homology (SH) 3 domain of Fyn. Interestingly, the CD2-Fyn association was negatively regulated by the Fyn SH2 domain; CD2 bound poorly to GST fusion proteins expressing both the SH2 and SH3 domains of Fyn. However, the inhibitory effect of the Fyn SH2 domain on binding of the Fyn SH3 domain to CD2 was relieved by peptides containing a phosphorylated YEEI sequence that bound directly to the Fyn SH2 domain. In addition, we found that the ability of the Fyn SH2 domain to precipitate tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, including the CD3zeta chain, was enhanced after T cell stimulation with mitogenic pairs of CD2 mAbs. Finally, overexpression of a mutated Fyn molecule, in which the ability of the Fyn SH2 domain to bind phosphotyrosine-containing proteins was abrogated, inhibited CD2-induced transcriptional activation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), suggesting a functional involvement of the Fyn SH2 domain in CD2-induced T cell signaling. We thus propose that stimulation through the CD2 receptor leads to the tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins, including CD3zeta itself, which in turn bind to the Fyn-SH2 domain, allowing the direct association of the Fyn SH3 domain with CD2 and the initiation of downstream signaling events.

Abstract
Abstract
Manipulation of CD2 molecules with CD2 mAb pairs has been shown to deliver apoptotic signals to activated mature T cells. We show that BTI-322, a CD2 mAb directed at a peculiar epitope of CD2, can trigger on its own the apoptotic death of IL-2-activated peripheral T cells and of OKT3-stimulated T cells, contrasting in this respect with a series of other mouse or rat CD2 mAb. F(ab′)2 fragments were as potent as the whole Ab. BTI-322-induced apoptosis proceeded in a few hours and was independent of the Fas/Fas ligand system. Less than 5 ng/ml of BTI-322, added at the begining of culture, were able to eliminate within 4 days most CD3+ cells from OKT3- and IL-2-stimulated lymphocytes, the only cells remaining being CD16+CD2− NK cells. T cell proliferative responses induced by a mitogenic CD2 mAb pair or by PHA-P (which mainly binds to CD2) were not inhibited by BTI-322. In this case, the apoptotic effect was successfully counteracted by simultaneous enhancement of T cell divisions. Thus, the killing effect of BTI-322 was most effective when T cells were exclusively stimulated through the CD3/TCR complex. Apoptosis of the responding T cells may explain why T cells recovered from a primary MLC performed in the presence of BTI-322 responded to third party cells but not to the primary stimulatory cells. These data constitute the rational basis for the use of BTI-322 for inducing tolerance in human allotransplantation.

Abstract
CD2 is a co-stimulatory receptor involved in T cell activation. Here we report on immunosuppressive effects of three mouse CD2 monoclonal antibodies (OX34, OX54, OX55) directed against non-overlapping epitopes of the rat CD2 receptor on various modes of T cell activation in vitro and in vivo. Although non-ligand-blocking OX54 and OX55, in concert, activated T cells through CD2 in vitro, they individually suppressed the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and significantly prolonged allograft survival after rat heart transplantation in vivo. Phenotype analysis revealed that OX55 significantly down-modulated CD2 in vivo, whereas OX54 depleted T cells. Graft rejection coincided with re-expression of CD2 and clearance of OX55 from serum, whereas T cell depletion by OX54 outlasted the period of graft survival. The most suppressive antibody, OX34, down-modulated CD2 and inhibited T cell activation through the TCR or CD2 and the MLR and prolonged median allograft survival time from 7 days in controls to 45 days in the absence of any additional treatment. Graft survival was clearly dose dependent and correlated with the duration of CD2 down-modulation and the presence of circulating CD2 antibody in serum. Importantly, the specific antibody production to a T cell-dependent antigen as demonstrated by immunization with keyhole limpet hemocyanin in vivo remained unaffected after treatment with OX34. These results demonstrate the pivotal role of CD2 signaling in mediating allogeneic immune reactions after vascularized organ transplantation while allowing specific humoral immune responses in vivo.

Abstract
CD26 is a widely distributed 110 kD cell-surface glycoprotein with known dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity in its extracellular domain. This ecto-enzyme is capable of cleaving amino terminal dipeptides from polypeptides with either L-proline or L-alanine in the penultimate position. On human T cells, CD26 expression appears late in thymic differentiation and is preferentially restricted to the CD4+ helper/memory population, and CD26 can deliver a potent co-stimulatory T-cell activation signal. The cDNA sequence of CD26 predicts a type II membrane protein with only 6 amino acids in its cytoplasmic region, suggesting that, in addition to DPP-IV enzyme activity, other signal-inducing molecules may be associated with CD26. Considerable evidence exists that CD26 interacts, presumably in its extracellular domain, with both CD45, a protein tyrosine phosphatase, and adenosine deaminase (ADA), each of which is capable of functioning in a signal transduction pathway. In addition, CD26 is the receptor for ADA, and ADA on the cell surface is involved in an important immunoregulatory mechanism by which released ADA binds to the cell-surface ADA. This multifunctional molecule may be involved in cell migration and the HIV-1-associated loss of CD4+ cells through the process of programmed cell death. Thus, CD26 appears to play a key role in a number of aspects of lymphocyte function.

Abstract
The CD45 antigen is a family of the transmembrane tyrosine phosphatases expressed on cells of haemopoietic origin. The molecules are distinguished by the different aminoacid sequence and glycosylation on the N terminus. Although all isoforms are heavily glycosylated and exert receptor like structures on the extracellular part, the role of the glycosylation in the possible receptor function and the ligand of the CD45 has not been determined yet. In this study we have examined the binding of phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) to the different isoforms and its relation to the phosphatase activity. Immunoblotting experiments revealed that the 220 kDa form of the CD45RA contained a PHA binding fraction when immunoprecipitated with CD45RA monoclonal antibody (mAb), while an isoform with identical molecular mass immunoprecipitated by anti-CD45 did not bind PHA. We concluded that the 220 kDa form was heterogeneous with respect to PHA binding. Functional data also confirmed this heterogeneity: previous extraction of the PHA binding proteins resulted in the elimination of all the phosphatase activity from CD45, while only a part of that was removed from CD45RA immunoprecipitates.

Abstract
CD45 (lymphocyte common antigen) is a receptor-linked protein tyrosine phosphatase that is expressed on all leucocytes, and which plays a crucial role in the function of these cells. On T cells the extracellular domain of CD45 is expressed in several different isoforms, and the particular isoform(s) expressed depends on the particular subpopulation of cell, their state of maturation, and whether or not they have previously been exposed to antigen. It has been established that the expression of CD45 is essential for the activation of T cells via the TCR, and that different CD45 isoforms display a different ability to support T cell activation. Although the tyrosine phosphatase activity of the intracellular region of CD45 has been shown to be crucial for supporting signal transduction from the TCR, the nature of the ligands for the different isoforms of CD45 have been elusive. Moreover, the precise mechanism by which potential ligands may regulate CD45 function is unclear. Interestingly, in T cells CD45 has been shown to associate with numerous molecules, both membrane associated and intracellular; these include components of the TCR-CD3 complex and CD4/CD8. In addition, CD45 is reported to associate with several intracellular protein tyrosine kinases including p56lck and p59fyn of the src family, and ZAP-70 of the Syk family, and with numerous proteins of 29-34 kDa. These CD45-associated molecules may play an important role in regulating CD45 tyrosine phosphatase activity and function. However, although the role of some of the CD45-associated molecules (e.g. CD45-AP and LPAP) has become better understood in recent years, the role of others still remains obscure. This review aims to summarize recent findings on the role of CD45 and CD45-associated molecules in T cell activation, and to highlight issues that seem relevant to ongoing research in this area.

Abstract
CD100 is a 150-kDa homodimeric glycoprotein broadly expressed on the surface of human hematopoietic cells. CD100 has been recently identified as the first lymphoid gene that belongs to the semaphorin gene family. Semaphorins function as chemorepellent molecules in the nervous system, but the function of CD100 remains poorly understood. In lymphoid cells, it has been suggested to play a role in homotypic cell adhesion and in T cell activation. We demonstrate that in T cells and natural killer cells a serine kinase activity is immunoprecipitated with CD100. Distinct epitopes of CD100 have been defined with specific monoclonal antibodies, mediating opposite effects at the functional level, especially in T cells. The kinase activity is retained only with an antibody against a particular epitope of CD100. Additionally, a fusion protein containing the cytoplasmic domain of the molecule retains the kinase activity in cellular lysates, and CD100 itself is presumably a favorite substrate of the kinase. These findings suggest that a serine kinase pathway may participate in the different functional effects triggered through the distinct epitopes of CD100 and is likely involved in the biological effects of this semaphorin-like leukocyte cell surface molecule.

Abstract
The activation of human T cells via CD2 in response to mitogenic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) typically requires that one mAb is specific for an epitope within the N-terminal Ig domain of CD2 and the other for a partially hidden epitope. We have examined the proliferative response of human T cells and human CD2 (huCD2) transgenic murine T cells to two novel CD2 monoclonal antibodies, AICD2.M1 and AICD2.M2, and have partially mapped the epitopes of these and other mitogenic CD2-specific monoclonal antibodies by way of recognition of CD2:CD58 chimeric proteins possessing either the N-terminal or the membrane proximal immunoglobulin domains of CD2. To understand the molecular basis of proliferation in huCD2 transgenic murine T cells, the interactions of huCD2 with signaling proteins in murine T cells were analyzed. The transgenic huCD2 molecule was found to interact with the murine tyrosine kinases p56lck and p59fyn and the CD3-epsilon and zeta chains of the TCR/CD3 signaling complex and to coimmunoprecipitate tyrosine phosphatase activity. These molecular associations resemble the situation in human T cells and suggest that human CD2 couples to the same signal transduction pathways in humans and transgenic mice.

Abstract
The rosetting of T cells by sheep erythrocytes is mediated through the interaction of the CD2 molecule on T cells with T11TS, a molecule on sheep erythrocytes homologous to lymphocyte function-associated antigen-3 (LFA-3, CD58). We cloned a T11TS cDNA from sheep leucocyte mRNA which encodes a soluble molecule comprising the distal D1 and the D2 extracellular domains, but not the transmembrane domain. cDNA for this soluble D1 + D2 form of sheep LFA-3 (sLFA-3) was expressed in Escherichia coli and the properties of the purified recombinant protein were assessed by inhibition of T-cell rosette formation. sLFA-3 inhibited rosette formation, but its activity was low, 50% inhibition occurring at 25 micrograms/ml, consistent with the observed low binding avidity of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled sLFA-3, sLFA-3 was made multimeric to increase its affinity, by crosslinking biotinylated sLFA-3 to streptavidin-biotinylated dextran complexes. The binding of crosslinked sLFA-3 multimers, tested by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, was significantly increased compared to sLFA-3 monomers. Competition with monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that multimeric sLFA-3 bound to the T11(1) epitope on CD2. The multimeric form of sLFA-3 was significantly more potent than the monomer in inhibiting proliferation of human T cells in response to purified protein derivative (PPD), tetanus toxoid (TT) or allogeneic cells. Multimeric sLFA-3 might, therefore, have potential as an immunotherapeutic agent to inhibit and/or anergize antigen-specific T-cell responses.

Abstract
Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is considered the etiologic agent of adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma and several chronic progressive immune-mediated diseases. Approximately 1-4% of infected individuals develop disease, generally decades following infection. Increased proviral transcription, mediated by the viral 40-kDa trans-activating protein, Tax, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of HTLV-1-associated diseases. Since the HTLV-1 promoter contains sequences responsive to cyclic AMP and protein kinase C, we hypothesized that lymphocyte activation signals initiated through the TCR/CD3 complex or CD2 receptor promote viral replication in HTLV-1-infected lymphocytes. We demonstrate that mAbs directed against the CD2, but not the CD3 receptor increase viral p24 capsid protein 1.5- to 5.7-fold in CD2/CD3+ HTLV-1-infected cell culture supernatants. Northern blot analysis demonstrated a 2.5- to 4-fold increase in all species of viral mRNA following CD2 cross-linking of OSP2/4 cells, an immortalized HTLV-1 cell line. Consistent with transcriptional regulation, reporter gene activity increased approximately 11-fold in CD2-stimulated Jurkat T cells cotransfected with a Tax-expressing plasmid and a CAT reporter gene construct under control of the HTLV-1 promoter. These data suggest a possible physiologic mechanism, whereby CD2-mediated cell adhesion and lymphocyte activation may promote viral transcription in infected lymphocytes.

Abstract
In human T-lymphocytes the Src family protein tyrosine kinase p59(fyn) associates with three phosphoproteins of 43, 55, and 85 kDa (pp43, pp55, and pp85). Employing a GST-Fyn-Src homology 2 (SH2) domain fusion protein pp55 was purified from lysates of Jurkat T-cells. Molecular cloning of the pp55 cDNA reveals that the pp55 gene codes for a so far nondescribed polypeptide of 359 amino acids that comprises a pleckstrin homology domain, a C-terminal SH3 domain, as well as several potential tyrosine phosphorylation sites, among which one fulfills the criteria to bind Src-like SH2 domains with high affinity. Consistent with this observation, pp55 selectively binds to isolated SH2 domains of Lck, Lyn, Src, and Fyn but not to the SH2 domains of ZAP70, Syk, Shc, SLP-76, Grb2, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and c-abl in vitro. Based on these properties the protein was termed SKAP55 (src kinase-associated phosphoprotein of 55 kDa). Northern blot analysis shows that SKAP55 mRNA is preferentially expressed in lymphatic tissues. SKAP55 is detected in resting human T-lymphocytes as a constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated protein that selectively interacts with p59(fyn). These data suggest that SKAP55 represents a novel adaptor protein likely involved in Fyn-mediated signaling in human T-lymphocytes.

Abstract
T cell activation via CD2 requires interaction of CD2 with several signaling molecules. To investigate the structural requirements for an association of CD2 with the tyrosine phosphatase CD45 and the zeta chain of the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3/zeta complex, we have expressed in mouse EL4 T cells a series of human CD2 chimeric and mutant proteins. Chimeric proteins in which the CD2 transmembrane and/or cytoplasmic domains were deleted or exchanged with analogous regions of CD4, CD28 or CD58 retained association with high levels of murine CD45 phosphatase activity, suggesting that the CD2 extracellular domain largely controls interaction with CD45. To a lesser extent, the cytoplasmic domain of CD2 was also shown to interact with CD45, as demonstrated by an increase in co-immunoprecipitated phosphatase activity observed following replacement of the CD58 cytoplasmic domain with that of CD2. In contrast, the cytoplasmic domain of CD2 was found to be responsible for the majority of CD2 interaction with the zeta chain of the TCR/CD3/zeta complex. Deletion of the CD2 cytoplasmic domain, excluding the first three amino acids, removed virtually all CD2 associated zeta chain and approximately sevenfold higher levels of zeta chain were found in association with a CD58/58/2 chimera than with control human CD58 wild type. This study suggests that the CD2 extracellular and intracellular domains are differentially involved in regulating T cell activation through interaction with the tyrosine phosphatase CD45 and the zeta chain of the TCR/CD3/zeta complex.

Abstract
Assays of cell adhesion generally require prelabeling of cells with radioactive or fluorescent probes. A new fluorogenic phosphatase assay requiring no prelabeling has been developed to quantitate cell number, which can thus serve as the basis for quantitating cell adhesion or migration. The assay uses the non-fluorescent substrate 3,6-fluorescein diphosphate (FDP) whose dephosphorylation generates fluorescein. The fluorescence generated is linear with incubation time and cell number until substrate becomes limiting; the assay easily quantitates cells over a range from 10(3) to 10(6) for a variety of cell types, including resting T cells. It is as sensitive as the 51Cr assay, but has the many advantages of a non-radioactive assay, making more convenient the removal of nonadherent cells by simple 1 x g sedimentation. Unlike most other non-radioactive assays, it requires no pre-incubation; this: (1) reduces cell manipulation; (2) eliminates problems of spontaneous release; and (3) avoids potential dye toxicity. This technique of cell quantitation has been adopted as standard in our laboratory for routine adhesion and migration assays.

Abstract
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 16 children with atopic disease (range of IgE levels: 33 - 2892 kU/l) and 12 age matched controls were stimulated either with mAbs specific for CD3, CD2, CD3 plus CD28, CD2 plus CD28, with Tetanus Toxoid, SEA, or PHA plus PMA and their cell proliferation was determined. In addition, their cytokine production (IL2, IL4, IL10, IFN gamma) following selected stimuli was measured. We found that the cells from atopics proliferated significantly better in response to CD2 stimulation than control cells, with no difference in response to CD3 or SEA stimulation. Furthermore, cells from atopics produced significantly higher amounts of IL4 than cells from controls, a difference most pronounced following CD2 plus CD28 stimulation. No differential production was found for IL10 and IFN gamma. We conclude that in atopic children with moderately elevated IgE a hyperreactivity of the CD2 pathway of stimulation and a clear elevation of IL4 but not of IL10 or IFN gamma production can be demonstrated.

Abstract
The CD45 tyrosine phosphatase plays an important role in regulating T lymphocyte activation, but the function of the different isoforms of CD45 is not known. T cell transfectants have been prepared that express individual CD45 isoforms in cells with a well-defined T cell receptor (TCR) from the D10 T helper 2 clone. We find that cells bearing low molecular weight CD45 isoforms are far more efficient in responding to stimulation with peptide and antigen-presenting cells compared with cells bearing high molecular weight CD45 isoforms. One hypothesis for the preferential activation of cells that express low molecular weight CD45 isoforms is that they interact with other cell surface antigens important in TCR signaling, altering their phosphorylation status and affecting the character of the signal transduction pathway. In this report, using cells expressing single isoforms, we demonstrate that low molecular weight isoforms of CD45 preferentially associate with CD4 and the TCR complex compared with high molecular weight isoforms. The molecular basis for this interaction was further examined using a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-linked form of CD45Null (lacking tyrosine phosphatase domains), which preferentially associated with CD4 compared with GPI-linked CD45ABC, and cytoplasmic tail mutants of CD4, which retained the ability to coassociate. Using this panel of transfectants, it is clear that the interaction between CD4 and CD45 does not require the cytoplasmic domains of CD45, but is dependent on the specific external domain of the various isoforms: low molecular weight species were more likely to associate with the CD4-TCR complex than the higher molecular weight isoforms, and their ability to coassociate correlated with the magnitude of the response to specific antigen.

Abstract
A glutathione-S-transferase-src-homology domain 2 (GST-SH2) fusion protein was employed to identify molecules interacting with the protein tyrosine kinase p59fyn. Among several proteins which bound to the fyn SH2 domain in lysates of human Jurkat T lymphocytes, alpha- and beta-tubulin were identified by N-terminal sequencing. Further analysis established that alpha-tubulin exists as a tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in Jurkat cells, where it interacts with p59fyn, but not with p56lck. By contrast, in untransformed resting human T lymphocytes alpha-tubulin is not detectable as a tyrosine phosphorylated protein. However, following T cell activation, it becomes rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine residues and subsequently associates with the SH2 domain of fyn. Interestingly, constitutively tyrosine-phosphorylated alpha-tubulin that is able to interact with the fyn-SH2 domain is expressed in peripheral blood T lymphoblasts isolated from leukemic patients in the absence of external stimulation.

Abstract
CD45, a leukocyte-specific transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase, is required for critical signal transduction pathways in immune responses. To elucidate the molecular interactions of CD45 with other proteins involved in CD45-mediated signal transduction pathways, we have recently cloned a 30-kDa phosphorylated protein, CD45-AP, which specifically associates with CD45. Binding analysis employing several deleted or chimeric forms of CD45-AP and CD45 demonstrated that the potential transmembrane segment of CD45-AP bound to the transmembrane portion of CD45. CD45-AP was found in particulate fractions of lymphocytes along with CD45, indicating that it is likely to be a transmembrane protein. In addition, CD45-AP was resistant to proteolysis by tosylphenylalanyl chloromethyl ketone-treated trypsin applied to intact cells. This is consistent with the most likely membrane orientation of CD45-AP predicted from the amino acid sequence, that is, only a short amino-terminal segment of CD45-AP is extracellular. We propose that CD45-AP interacts with CD45 at the plasma membrane and that the bulk of CD45-AP located in the cytoplasm act as an adapter which directs the interaction between CD45 and other molecules involved in CD45-mediated signal transduction pathways.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation has been reported to be an early event required for APO-1/Fas(CD95) signalling in lymphocytes [Eischen, C.M., Dick, C.J. and Leibson, P.J. (1994) J. Immunol. 153, 1947-1954]. We have compared two mutant Jurkat cells, one largely deficient in expression of CD-45 (J45.01) and a second one deficient in expression of p56lck (JCaM1.6) with wild type Jurkat cells for their ability to undergo APO-1-induced apoptosis. No significant difference was observed among the three cell lines. In the mutant Jurkat cells APO-1 triggering did not result in increased tyrosine phosphorylation of cytosolic proteins. Furthermore, herbimycin A did not inhibit but rather augmented apoptosis at concentrations which effectively degraded the src related kinases lck and fyn. The data suggest that APO-1-mediated signalling is independent from src kinases and CD45.

Abstract
Cell surface proteins of the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) are a newly characterized family of proteins which are presumed to span the plasma membrane four times. The function of this family of molecules is poorly understood, but based on monoclonal antibody studies there is some evidence that they may be involved in transmembrane signal transduction and regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, or both, in a number of different cell types. CD53 is a member of this family that is expressed on leukocytes, and transduces activation signals through unknown mechanisms that may involve phosphorylation events. However, CD53 has never been shown to associate directly with kinases. Here, we show by immunoprecipitation from cell lysates of lymph nodes and a thymoma cell line, that immune complexes of rat CD53 contain tyrosine phosphatase activity. The CD53-associated phosphatase was able to dephosphorylate in vitro the phosphorylated tyrosine kinase Lck, as well as a synthetic substrate, and its activity was abrogated by a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor. Although its identity has not been established, it is clear from depletion experiments that it is not CD45. CD63, a second member of the TM4SF, also co-precipitates a phosphatase activity from rat basophilic leukemia cells. These results demonstrate that the TM4SF members associate with tyrosine phosphatases. It seems possible that such associated phosphatases may contribute to the signal transduction capacity of TM4SF molecules.

Abstract
CD4, a lymphocyte surface glycoprotein, serves as co-receptor for antigen with the T cell receptor (TCR). It is also the lymphocyte receptor for HIV by binding the gp120 viral envelope protein. Interaction of gp120 with CD4 is crucial for viral infection, but is not sufficient to allow viral entry into cells. Recombinant gp120 alters CD4+ T cell responsiveness to activation stimuli. To express its co-receptor function fully, CD4 must be laterally associated with the TCR and CD45 to form multi-receptor complexes competent to transduce potent activation signals. Here, we examine the possibility that gp120/CD4 binding alters lateral associations of CD4 with other lymphocyte surface molecules, and that assembly of abnormal multi-molecular complexes is involved in the gp120-induced CD4+ T cell dysfunction and in viral entry. In the absence of gp120, CD4 displayed high association with CD3, CD5, CD45RC, CD25, CD28, CD44, and CD53; weak association with CD2, CD38, CD45RB, CD62L, and CD26; and no association with CD45RA, CD45RO, CD11b, CD11a, CD54, CD7, CD48, CD98, CD59 CD55, HLA class I and class II molecules. Treatment with gp120 significantly increased CD4 association with CD3, CD45RA, CD45RB, CD59, CD38, CD26 and HLA class I, and decreased that with CD45RC. Specificity of these results were assessed at various levels. First, gp120 did not influence lateral associations displayed by other molecules, such as HLA class II. Second, the Leu3 mAb which binds CD4 on a site overlapping the gp120 binding site, did not elicit the same CD4 lateral associations as gp120, and finally, a direct gp120/CD4+ interaction was needed to induce the lateral associations, as shown by the observation that blocking the gp120/CD4 binding by the Leu3 mAb inhibited the gp120-induced associations. These results can be interpreted in several ways gp120/CD4 interaction could trigger an inside-out signal responsible for the associations, or gp120 could induce steric modifications of CD4 that increase its affinity for the associating molecules. Alternatively, these molecules may interact directly with gp120, bridging them with CD4. It is also possible that th e associations may be mediated by additional components, interacting with both gp120 and the associating surface molecule. The last hypothesis is likely for CD59, whose gp120-induced association with CD4 required the presence of serum in the co-capping assay. Since both CD59 and gp120 bind complement, the observed association could be mediated by complement components.

Abstract
CD45 is a protein-tyrosine phosphatase expressed on all cells of hematopoietic origin. In an attempt to further characterize CD45 function, we set out to identify molecule(s) that specifically associate with CD45. A 116-kDa protein was detected in immunoprecipitates from CD45+ cells but not CD45- cells. The association between CD45 and this 116-kDa protein can be reconstituted by mixing lysates from CD45- cell lines with purified CD45. p116 appears to associate with CD45 through the external, transmembrane, or membrane-proximal region of CD45 since p116 is associated with a mutant form of CD45 possessing a truncated cytoplasmic domain. The association of p116 with CD45 is not isoform-specific as p116 associates equally well with various CD45 isoforms. We have determined that p116 is a tyrosine-phosphorylated glycoprotein and that it is associated with CD45 in all hematopoietic cells examined. Because of its broad distribution, it is possible that identification of p116 will provide additional insight into the function of CD45 in lymphoid as well as non-lymphoid hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
Receptor-linked tyrosine phosphatases regulate cell growth by dephosphorylating proteins involved in tyrosine kinase signal transduction. The leukocyte common antigen-related (LAR) tyrosine phosphatase receptor has sequence similarity to the neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM and is located in a chromosomal region (1p32-33) frequently altered in neuroectodermal tumors. To understand the function of receptor-linked tyrosine phosphatases in neural development, we sought to identify LAR isoforms preferentially expressed in the nervous system and cellular processes regulating LAR alternative splicing. We report here the isolation of a series of rat LAR cDNA clones arising from complex combinatorial alternative splicing, not previously demonstrated for the tyrosine phosphatase-receptor gene family in general. Isoforms included: (a) deletions of the fourth, sixth and seventh fibronectin type III-like domains; (b) an alternatively spliced novel cassette exon in the fifth fibronectin type III-like domain; (c) two alternatively spliced novel cassette exons in the juxtamembrane region; (d) a retained intron in the extracellular region with in-frame stop codons predicting a secreted LAR isoform; and (e) an LAR transcript including an alternative 3' untranslated region containing multiple stretches of tandem CAG repeats up to 21 repeats in length. This number of repeats was in the range found in normal alleles of genes in which expansions of repeats are associated with neurodegenerative disease and the genetic phenomenon of anticipation. RT-PCR and Northern analysis demonstrated that LAR alternative splicing occurred preferentially in neuromuscular tissue in vivo and in neurons compared to astrocytes in vitro and was developmentally regulated. Alternative splicing was also regulated in PC12 cells by NGF, in 3T3 fibroblasts by cell confluence and in sciatic nerve and muscle subsequent to nerve transection. Western blot analysis demonstrated that alternatively spliced cassette exons result in the presence of corresponding amino acid segments of LAR protein in vivo. These studies suggest specialized functions of LAR isoforms in the nervous system and support our hypothesis that LAR-like tyrosine phosphatase receptors play a role in neural development and regeneration.

Abstract
Phosphotyrosine and protein tyrosine phosphatase antibodies have been used to assess the distribution and potential functions of tyrosine phosphorylation systems in normal brain and cell cultures, as well as in a model of neural degeneration. Western blot and immunohistochemical analysis showed that a panel of antiphosphotyrosine antibodies recognizing different tyrosine phosphorylated substrates all selectively labeled ramified microglia in sections of brain tissue. This significantly extends our previous observation (GLIA 2:412-419, 1989) that a single, limited, phosphotyrosine antibody served as a histological marker for microglia. The present results show that tyrosine phosphorylation of a variety of substrates is quantitatively enriched in microglia compared to other neural cell types. We also show that the protein tyrosine phosphatase, CD45, is constitutively expressed by ramified microglia in vivo and by ameboid microglia in vitro. Thus, the major enzymes constituting tyrosine phosphorylation systems are present in normal microglia. Neuronal degeneration in the trigeminal nucleus, caused by introduction of the neurotoxic lectin, ricin, into the peripheral nerve is accompanied by a robust upregulation of phosphotyrosine signal in ramified microglial adjacent to the nucleus and in ameboid microglia in the degenerating nucleus. The presence of phosphotyrosine in ramified microglia is consistent with a role for tyrosine phosphorylation systems in the activation of microglia and in the signaling events accompanying conversion of resting microglia to the ameboid form.

Abstract
Relationships between CD45 and p56lck have been suggested by co-immunoprecipitation of both proteins and by dephosphorylation of the p56lck regulatory site, Tyr 505, by CD45 in vitro. We investigated whether the kinase activity of p56lck is modulated in T cells triggered via CD45. We showed that incubation of Jurkat cells with a combination of two anti-CD45 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) (MC5/2 + D3/9) induced an increase in p56lck kinase activity, while a single mAb did not. Under these conditions, p56lck underwent two consecutive waves of activation. This was accompanied by internalization of the kinase and by a time-dependent increased accessibility of CD45 phosphatase at the plasma membrane. Similarly, activation and internalization of p56lck were observed using a combination of anti-CD45 (MC5/2) and anti-CD2 (T11(2)) mAb, suggesting that a functional complex consisting of CD45, CD2 and p56lck was formed upon cell triggering. Taken together, these results suggests that: (i) CD45 participates in the regulation of p56lck kinase activity in vivo and that (ii) CD45 could play a mediator role in the stimulation and endocytosis of p56lck through the CD2 pathway.

Abstract
Resting T lymphocytes that have recognized antigen bound to a major histocompatibility complex molecule with the T-cell receptor require costimulatory signals through accessory receptors, including CD2, CD4, CD8, and CD28, for their clonal growth and expression of their functional repertoires. Absence of costimulation, in contrast, can induce clonal anergy in vitro and selective tolerance in vivo. Here we have defined a potential intracellular messenger for T-cell activation which is strictly regulated by costimulatory signals mediated through accessory receptors: pp19/cofilin, a small actin-binding protein, undergoes dephosphorylation and subsequent translocation from the cytosol into the nucleus. In untransformed T cells this process correlates with functional responses essential for the induction of T-cell proliferation (i.e., production of interleukin 2). Moreover, spontaneous dephosphorylation as well as nuclear translocation of pp19/cofilin occur in the autonomously proliferating T-lymphoma cell line Jurkat.

Abstract
A central question in T-cell immunity concerns the nature of intracellular signaling from the antigen receptor, the CD4/CD8 co-receptors and the CD28 antigen. Since the original discovery that T-cell receptors such as CD4 can interact with intracellular protein-tyrosine kinases such as p56lck, remarkable progress has been made in deciphering the signaling pathways that control T-cell growth and immune function. Here, Christopher Rudd and colleagues examine the role of protein-tyrosine kinases, SH2/SH3 domains and lipid kinases in the generation of signals from the TCR zeta/CD3 complex and the CD28 antigen.
