Abstract
Previously our lab has shown that co-stimulation of human T cells through different co-stimulatory molecules tune differentiation to different phenotypes. An open question is where in the signaling pathways induced by the co-stimulation do differences occur that contribute to outcome of differentiation. In this project, we investigate the early signaling process by comparing events that follow engagement of CD45 alone or in association with a co-stimulatory molecule: CD28. CD45 plays a crucial role to initiate T cell signaling by dephosphorylating a negatively regulatory tyrosine residue in Src family kinases such as Lck. First, we observed that engagement of CD45 alone induced signaling in T cells. We observed that TCR/CD3 stimulation with CD45 promoted prolonged Lck association with TCR/CD3 complex and Lck remained associated during TCR/CD3 + CD28 + CD45 stimulation as well. We concluded that Lck association is dependent on TCR/CD3 and CD45 engagement. Hence, CD45 altered early signaling events in T cells.

Abstract
CD45 is a receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase essential for T cell development and lymphocyte activation. It is highly glycosylated, with multiple isoforms and glycoforms expressed on the cell surface depending on the cell type and stage of differentiation. Interestingly, we found two pools of newly synthesized CD45 expressed on plasma membrane, one of which arrived by 5 min after synthesis. The remaining pool of CD45 was fully glycosylated and began to arrive at the cell surface at approximately 15 min. The rapidly expressed population of CD45 possessed exclusively endoglycosidase H-sensitive N-linked carbohydrate. Additionally, this rapidly expressed pool of CD45 appeared on the cell surface in a brefeldin A (BFA)-insensitive manner, suggesting that it reached the cell surface independent of the Golgi complex. The remaining CD45 trafficked through the Golgi complex, and transport proceeded via a BFA-sensitive mechanism. These data suggest that CD45 is able to reach the cell surface via two distinct routes. The first is a conventional Golgi-dependent pathway that allows fully processed CD45 to be expressed. The second utilizes an ill defined mechanism that is independent of the Golgi, is BFA-resistant, and allows for the expression of CD45 with immature carbohydrate on the cell surface.

Abstract
Glucosidase II (GII) stably interacts with the external domain of CD45 in a carbohydrate-dependent manner. We have found that the association occurs in immature cells, but is significantly reduced in mature T cells. Using mannose-binding protein (MBP), in both FACS analysis and pull-down assays, we find that MBP can specifically recognize cell surface CD45 from immature, but not mature T cells. Analysis of thymocytes reveals increased MBP binding and GII association with CD45 in double-positive thymocytes compared with either double-negative or single-positive thymocytes. As well, the same pool of CD45 recognized by MBP can also associate with GII. Initial analysis of the basis of the interaction between CD45 and MBP suggests MBP binds two different glycoforms of CD45 based on the differential competition with glucose. Finally, inhibition of GII activity in cells that do not normally express MBP ligands results in significant increases in cell surface MBP ligands, including CD45. Taken together, these data suggest that the glucose content of the cell surface CD45 changes as thymocytes undergo maturation to mature T cells, and may be regulated by GII interactions. Such changes in the cell surface carbohydrate on CD45 may affect the development of thymocytes, perhaps via binding of CD45 on thymocytes to lectins on stromal cells.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that CD45 physically associates with the endoplasmic reticulum processing enzyme glucosidase II (GII). GII consists of the catalytic alpha-chain and an associated beta-chain. To gain insight into the basis of the association between CD45 and GII, we examined the biochemical requirements for the interaction. We show that the alpha-subunit is essential for the interaction. Interestingly, only a higher molecular weight form of GIIalpha is capable of associating with CD45 in a competitive situation where multiple GIIalpha isoforms are expressed. Further, transfection studies demonstrate that only isoforms containing the alternatively spliced sequence Box A1 are capable of binding CD45, although all isoforms are catalytically active. The interaction between CD45 and GII is dependent on the active site of GII, is mediated through the carbohydrate on CD45, and can be inhibited with mannose. Taken together, these results suggest that GIIalpha acts as a lectin and binds to CD45 in an exon-dependent manner. This lectin activity of GII may be a novel mechanism for the regulation of CD45 biology and play a role in immune function, possibly by regulating CD45 glycosylation.

Abstract
Recent purification and cDNA cloning of the endoplasmic reticulum processing enzyme glucosidase II have revealed that it is composed of two soluble proteins: a catalytic alpha-subunit and a beta-subunit of unknown function, both of which are highly conserved in mammals. Since the beta-subunit, which contains a C-terminal His-Asp-Glu-Leu (HDEL) motif, may function to link the catalytic subunit to the KDEL receptor as a retrieval mechanism, we sought to map the regions of the mouse beta-subunit protein responsible for mediating the association with the alpha-subunit. By screening a panel of recombinant beta-subunit glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins for the ability to precipitate glucosidase II activity, we have identified two non-overlapping interaction domains (ID1 and ID2) within the beta-subunit. ID1 encompasses 118 amino acids at the N-terminus of the mature polypeptide, spanning the cysteine-rich element in this region. ID2, located near the C-terminus, is contained within amino acids 273-400, a region occupied in part by a stretch of acidic residues. Variable usage of 7 alternatively spliced amino acids within ID2 was found not to influence the association of the two sub-units. We theorize that the catalytic subunit of glucosidase II binds synergistically to ID1 and ID2, explaining the high associative stability of the enzyme complex.

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
The subunit composition of cell-internal and surface prosomes during phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced differentiation of human leukemic T lymphocytes (CCRF-CEM cell line) was studied in relation to clusters of differentiation (CD) markers. PMA inhibited cell growth and decreased the amounts of CD1a and CD4 while CD3, CD8, CD25, CD45, CD57 and MHCI increased it; the p53 anti-oncogene increased while actin levels remained constant. Cells incubated with the inducer PMA for 3 days and placed in fresh inhibitor-free medium resumed growth at a low rate, while the CD values slowly reverted to those of the initial phenotype. The presence and relative amounts of prosome subunits were analyzed by flow cytometry, light and fluorescent microscopy and Western blotting using 3 monoclonal antibodies (p25K, p27K and p30-33K MAbs). The decrease in cytoplasmic antigens on day 3 was remarkable (cells followed for 7 days) while increased surface antigens were observed. Changes in the subcellular distributions of prosome antigens, particularly the p25K and p30-33K subunit, were correlated with a partial arrest of the cell cycle. Interestingly, the composition of cell internal and surface prosomes showed different patterns of change.

Abstract
Many lymphocyte signaling pathways are regulated by protein tyrosyl phosphorylation, which is controlled by protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Substantial progress has been made in defining the functions of lymphocyte PTPs. Individual PTPs can enhance or diminish cell signaling levels. The transmembrane PTP CD45 is a key positive element in multiple lymphocyte signaling pathways in vivo. New insights into the function of individual CD45 isoforms have emerged. Anti-CD45 antibodies with potent immunosuppressant activity have been identified, suggesting that CD45 may be a propitious target for drug design. Progress has also been made in elucidating the function and targets of specific nontransmembrane PTPs, particularly those with Src homology 2 domains.

Abstract
CD45 is an abundant, highly glycosylated transmembrane protein-tyrosine phosphatase expressed on hematopoietic cells. Herein we demonstrate that two proteins of 116 kDa and 80 kDa copurify with CD45 from mouse T cells. Microsequence analysis of the 116-kDa protein revealed high similarity to an incomplete human open reading frame that has been suggested to correspond to the catalytic alpha-subunit of glucosidase II. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the mouse cDNA and observed that it encodes a protein product nearly identical to its human homologue and shares an active site consensus sequence with Family 31 glucosidases. Amino acid sequencing of the 80-kDa protein, followed by molecular cloning, revealed high homology to human and bovine cDNAs postulated to encode the beta-subunit of glucosidase II. Antisera developed to the mouse beta-subunit allowed us to demonstrate that the interaction between CD45 and glucosidase II can be reconstituted in vitro in an endoglycosidase H-sensitive manner. The strong interaction between glucosidase II and CD45 may provide a paradigm for investigating novel aspects of the biology of these proteins.

Abstract
The study of phosphatases was viewed as a rather esoteric subject for immunologists until eight years ago, when the discovery that CD45 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) began to make the topic respectable. Now, as reviewed by Julie Frearson and Denis Alexander, PTPases are increasingly being shown to play key roles in the molecular physiology of haematopoietic cells and some have been shown to regulate critical events in T-cell development and signalling.
