Abstract
Activation of LCK is required for canonical TCR signaling leading to T cell responses. LCK activation also initiates a negative feedback loop mediated by the phosphatase SHP-1 that turns off TCR signaling. In this article, we report that the thousand-and-one amino acid kinase 3 (TAOK3) is a key regulator of this feedback. TAOK3 is a serine/threonine kinase expressed in many different cell types including T cells. TAOK3-deficient human T cells had impaired LCK-dependent TCR signaling resulting in a defect in IL-2 response to canonical TCR signaling but not to bacterial superantigens, which use an LCK-independent pathway. This impairment was associated with enhanced interaction of LCK with SHP-1 after TCR engagement and rapid termination of TCR signals, a defect corrected by TAOK3 reconstitution. Thus, TAOK3 is a positive regulator of TCR signaling by preventing premature SHP-1-mediated inactivation of LCK. This mechanism may also regulate signaling by other Src family kinase-dependent receptors.

Abstract
Lck, a non-receptor src family kinase, plays a vital role in various cellular processes such as cell cycle control, cell adhesion, motility, proliferation and differentiation. As a 56 KDa protein, Lck phosphorylates tyrosine residues of various proteins such as ZAP-70, ITK and protein kinase C. The structure of Lck is comprised of three domains, one SH3 in tandem with a SH2 domain at the amino terminal and the kinase domain at the carboxy terminal. Physiologically, Lck is involved in the development, function and differentiation of T-cells. Additionally, Lck regulates neurite outgrowth and maintains long-term synaptic plasticity in neurons. Given a major role of Lck in cytokine production and T cell signaling, alteration in expression and activity of Lck may result in various diseased conditions like cancer, asthma, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, atherosclerosis etc. This article provides evidence and information establishing Lck as one of the therapeutic targets in various inflammation mediated pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
LCK is a tyrosine kinase essential for initiating T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling. A complete understanding of LCK function is constrained by a paucity of methods to quantitatively study its function within live cells. To address this limitation, we generated LCK*, in which a key active site lysine is replaced by a photo-caged equivalent, using genetic code expansion. This enabled fine temporal and spatial control over kinase activity, allowing us to quantify phosphorylation kinetics in situ using biochemical and imaging approaches. We find that auto-phosphorylation of the LCK active site loop is indispensable for its catalytic activity and that LCK can stimulate its own activation by adopting a more open conformation, which can be modulated by point mutations. We then show that CD4 and CD8, the T cell coreceptors, can enhance LCK activity, helping to explain their effect in physiological TCR signaling. Our approach also provides general insights into SRC-family kinase dynamics.

Abstract
Protein N-myristoylation is a cotranslational lipidic modification specific to the alpha-amino group of an N-terminal glycine residue of many eukaryotic and viral proteins. The ubiquitous eukaryotic enzyme, N-myristoyltransferase, catalyzes the myristoylation process. Precisely, attachment of a myristoyl group increases specific protein–protein interactions leading to subcellular localization of myristoylated proteins with its signaling partners. The birth of the field of myristoylation, a little over three decades ago, has led to the understanding of the significance of protein myristoylation in regulating cellular signaling pathways in several biological processes especially in carcinogenesis and more recently immune function. This review discusses myristoylation as a prerequisite step in initiating many immune cell signaling cascades. In particular, we discuss the hitherto unappreciated implication of myristoylation during myelopoiesis, innate immune response, lymphopoiesis for T cells, and the formation of the immunological synapse. Furthermore, we discuss the role of myristoylation in inducing the virological synapse during human immunodeficiency virus infection as well as its clinical implication. This review aims to summarize existing knowledge in the field and to highlight gaps in our understanding of the role of myristoylation in immune function so as to further investigate into the dynamics of myristoylation-dependent immune regulation.

Abstract
The success of T cell-based cancer immunotherapy is limited by tumor's resistance against killing by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Tumor-immune resistance is mediated by cell surface ligands that engage immune-inhibitory receptors on T cells. These ligands represent potent targets for therapeutic inhibition. So far, only few immune-suppressive ligands have been identified. We here describe a rapid high-throughput siRNA-based screening approach that allows a comprehensive identification of ligands on human cancer cells that inhibit CTL-mediated tumor cell killing. We exemplarily demonstrate that CCR9, which is expressed in many cancers, exerts strong immune-regulatory effects on T cell responses in multiple tumors. Unlike PDL1, which inhibits TCR signaling, CCR9 regulates STAT signaling in T cells, resulting in reduced T-helper-1 cytokine secretion and reduced cytotoxic capacity. Moreover, inhibition of CCR9 expression on tumor cells facilitated immunotherapy of human tumors by tumor-specific T cells in vivo. Taken together, this method allows a rapid and comprehensive determination of immune-modulatory genes in human tumors which, as an entity, represent the ‘immune modulatome’ of cancer.

Abstract
JNK pathway-associated phosphatase (JKAP, also known as DUSP22 or JSP-1) is a JNK activator. The in vivo role of JKAP in immune regulation remains unclear. Here we report that JKAP directly inactivates Lck by dephosphorylating tyrosine-394 residue during T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling. JKAP-knockout T cells display enhanced cell proliferation and cytokine production. JKAP-knockout mice show enhanced T-cell-mediated immune responses and are more susceptible to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In addition, the recipient mice that are adoptively transferred with JKAP-knockout T cells show exacerbated EAE symptoms. Aged JKAP-knockout mice spontaneously develop inflammation and autoimmunity. Thus, our results indicate that JKAP is an important phosphatase that inactivates Lck in the TCR signalling turn-off stage, leading to suppression of T-cell-mediated immunity and autoimmunity.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are used as part of front-line therapy to treat lymphoid malignancy because of their remarkable ability to induce apoptosis. Yet, in T cells, glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis is readily inhibited by lymphocyte activation and signaling. We have previously shown that the Src family kinase, Lck (lymphocyte cell-specific tyrosine kinase), which is predominantly expressed in T cells, interacts with IP3 receptors to facilitate calcium signaling. Here, we discovered that dexamethasone downregulates Lck, which, in turn, suppresses lymphocyte activation by inhibiting pro-survival calcium oscillations. Moreover, stable expression of shRNAs that selectively targeted Lck or treatment with the Src inhibitor dasatinib (BMS-354825) enhanced apoptosis induction by dexamethasone. To investigate the effect of Lck inhibition in a primary leukemia model, we employed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells that aberrantly expressed Lck and were relatively insensitive to dexamethasone. Lck expression was correlated with resistance to dexamethasone in CLL cells, and its inhibition by dasatinib or other inhibitors markedly enhanced glucocorticoid sensitivity. Collectively, these data indicate that Lck protects cells from glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis and its inhibition enhances sensitivity to dexamethasone. Small-molecule inhibitors of Lck, such as dasatinib, may function to reverse glucocorticoid resistance in some lymphoid malignancies.

Abstract
Genetically susceptible rodents exposed to low nontoxic levels of inorganic mercury (Hg(2+)) develop idiosyncratic autoimmune disease associated with defective T-cell function. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain mostly unexplained. Brief exposure of T cells to micromolar concentrations of Hg(2+) leads to physiologically relevant nontoxic cellular mercury burdens, and as we have previously reported, attenuates T-cell receptor (TCR) signal strength by approximately 50%. We have found this to be the result of an inadequate activation of the tyrosine kinase ZAP-70, which is hypophosphorylated following TCR stimulation in Hg(2+) burdened cells when compared to untreated controls. In T cells, ZAP-70 phosphorylation is dependent on lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) activity, which in turn is either positively or negatively regulated by the phosphorylation of specific Lck tyrosine residues. In particular, the general belief is that Lck is negatively regulated by phosphorylation of tyrosine 192 (Y192). We now demonstrate by Western blotting that, in Jurkat T cells, TCR signal transduction (and ZAP-70 phosphorylation) was positively associated with a rapid transient phosphorylation of Y192, which was inhibited in cells that were briefly (5 min) exposed to 5 microM Hg(2+). Thus, Hg(2+) inhibits a critical activating role played by Lck Y192 during the most proximal events of the TCR-induced cell signaling.

Abstract
It is unclear whether peptide-MHC class II (pMHC) complexes on distinct types of APCs differ in their capacity to trigger TCRs. In this study, we show that individual cognate pMHC complexes displayed by dendritic cells (DCs), as compared with nonprofessional APCs, are far better in productively triggering Ag-specific TCRs independently of conventional costimulation. As we further show, this is accomplished by the unique ability of DCs to robustly activate the Src family kinases (SFKs) Lck and Fyn in T cells even in the absence of cognate peptide. Instead, this form of SFK activation depends on interactions of DC-displayed MHC with TCRs of appropriate restriction, suggesting a central role of self-pMHC recognition. DC-mediated SFK activation leads to "TCR licensing," a process that dramatically increases sensitivity and magnitude of the TCR response to cognate pMHC. Thus, TCR licensing, besides costimulation, is a main mechanism of DCs to present Ag effectively.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are effective immunosuppressive agents and mediate well-defined transcriptional effects via GC receptors. There is increasing evidence that GCs also initiate rapid nongenomic signaling events. Using activated human CD4(+) lymphocytes and a peptide array containing 1176 different kinase consensus substrates, we generated a comprehensive profile of GC-induced rapid effects on signal transduction. The results show marked early differences in phosphorylation between GC-pretreated cells and control cells, including impaired phosphorylation of p56lck/p59fyn (Lck/Fyn) consensus substrates. Immunoprecipitation and in vitro kinase assays reveal rapid GC-induced down-modulation of Lck and Fyn kinases using SAM68 (Src [pp60c-src]-associated in mitosis 68 kDa) as a substrate. Additionally, immunoprecipitation experiments revealed reduced Lck-CD4 and Fyn-CD3 associations, suggesting GC inhibited recruitment of these kinases to the T-cell receptor complex. Western blot analysis revealed reduced phosphorylation of a series of downstream signaling intermediates following GC treatment, including protein kinase B (PKB), protein kinase C (PKC), and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Experiments with GC receptor-negative Jurkat cells and a pharmacologic GC receptor ligand (RU486) indicated that rapid inhibition of Lck and Fyn kinases is GC receptor dependent. Parallel experiments conducted following the application of GCs in healthy individuals confirmed suppression of Lck/Fyn in T cells within 1 hour in vivo. These results identify the inhibition of Lck and Fyn kinases as rapid targets of GCs, mediated via a GC receptor-dependent pathway.

Abstract
SAP-1 is a transmembrane-type protein-tyrosine phosphatase that is expressed in most tissues but whose physiological functions remain unknown. The cytoplasmic region of SAP-1 has now been shown to bind directly the tyrosine kinase Lck. Overexpression of wild-type SAP-1, but not that of a catalytically inactive mutant of SAP-1, inhibited both the basal and the T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-stimulated activity of Lck in human Jurkat T cell lines. Lck served as a direct substrate for dephosphorylation by SAP-1 in vitro. Overexpression of wild-type SAP-1 in Jurkat cells also: (i) inhibited both the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and the increase in cell surface expression of CD69 induced by TCR stimulation; (ii) reduced the extent of the TCR-induced increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of ZAP-70 or that of LAT; (iii) reduced both the basal level of tyrosine phosphorylation of p62dok, as well as the increase in the phosphorylation of this protein induced by CD2 stimulation; and (iv) inhibited cell migration. These results thus suggest that the direct interaction of SAP-1 with Lck results in inhibition of the kinase activity of the latter and a consequent negative regulation of T cell function.

Abstract
The src-family kinases p56lck (Lck) and p59fyn (Fyn) are expressed in T cells and are among the first signaling molecules to be activated downstream of the T cell receptor (TCR). Evidence is emerging that although closely related, these signaling molecules have discrete functions during development, maintenance and activation of peripheral T cells. For example, during thymopoiesis Lck is uniquely able to provide all the signals required for pre-TCRbeta selection, although Fyn can substitute for a subset of these. Positive selection of CD4 single-positive (SP) cells is also critically dependent on the expression of Lck but not Fyn, while differentiation of CD8 SP cells proceeds relatively efficiently in the absence of Lck. In naïve peripheral T cells either Lck or Fyn can transmit TCR-mediated survival signals, and yet only Lck is able to trigger TCR-mediated expansion signals under conditions of lymphopenia. Stimulation of naïve T cells by antigenic stimuli is also severely compromised in the absence of Lck, but more subtly impaired by the absence of Fyn. We discuss recent experiments addressing how these two src-kinase family members interface with downstream signaling pathways to regulate these diverse aspects of T cell behavior.

Abstract
During the productive interaction of T cells with antigen-presenting cells (APCs), engaged receptors, including the T cell antigen receptors and their associated tyrosine kinases, assemble into spatially segregated supramolecular activation clusters (SMACs) at the area of cell contact. Here, we studied intracellular signaling in SMACs by three-dimensional immunofluorescence microscopic localization of CD3, CD45, talin, phosphotyrosine, Lck and phosphorylated ZAP-70 in T cell-APC conjugates. Two distinct phases of spatial-temporal activation, one before and one after SMAC formation, which were separated by a brief state of inactivation caused by CD45, were observed at the T cell-APC contact area. We propose that pre-SMAC signals are sufficient to activate cell adhesion, but not productive T cell responses, which require orchestrated signaling in SMACs.

Abstract
Although the Src family tyrosine kinase Lck is essential for T cell receptor (TCR) signaling, whether or how Lck is activated is unknown. Using a phosphospecific antiserum to Lck, we show here that Lck becomes autophosphorylated when T cells are stimulated by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We found that TCR cross-linking alone could not stimulate Lck autophosphorylation and CD45 was not required for this process. Instead, the T cell accessory molecules CD4 and CD28 cooperated to induce autophosphorylation of Lck. CD4 recruited Lck to the T cell--APC interface, whereas CD28 sustained Lck activation. These data show how the multiple interactions afforded by the immunological synapse drive efficient and highly specific signaling.

Abstract
Lck, a Src family protein tyrosine kinase (PTKs), is post-translationally modified by palmitoylation, a process thought to regulate the biological function, membrane affinity and glycolipid-enriched microdomain (GEM) localization of this molecule. To examine the importance of palmitoylation sites Cys3 and Cys5 in Lck, one or both of these residues was mutated to serine to create mutants S3, S5, and S3,5, respectively. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy of COS-7 cells transfected with these constructs showed that while S5 and S3 localized to the plasma membrane, S3,5 was localized to the cytoplasm, suggesting that palmitoylation at at least one site is essential for membrane localization. Sucrose gradient based fractionation of these mutants expressed in COS-7 cells showed that while S5 localized to GEMs in similar fashion to the wild type, GEM localization of S3 was severely inhibited. Expression of these mutants in Lck-negative JCaM1 cells showed that although S5 reconstituted activation of nuclear factor NFAT as per the wild type, S3 expression failed to do so. These results suggest that Cys3 of Lck plays a more important role than Cys5 in GEM localization and T cell activation. Additionally, it was found that the degree of T cell function recovery is positively correlated with the degree of Lck expression in GEMs.

Abstract
Costimulation by CD28 or lipid-raft-associated CD48 potentiate TCR-induced signals, cytoskeletal reorganization, and IL-2 production. We and others have proposed that costimulators function to construct a raft-based platform(s) especially suited for TCR engagement and sustained and processive signal transduction. Here, we characterize TCR/CD48 and TCR/CD28 costimulation in T cells expressing Lck Src homology 3 (SH3) mutants. We demonstrate that Lck SH3 functions after initiation of TCR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and concentration of transducers within rafts, to regulate the costimulation-dependent migration of rafts to the TCR contact site. Expression of kinase-active/SH3-impaired Lck mutants disrupts costimulation-dependent raft recruitment, sustained TCR protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and IL-2 production. However, TCR-induced apoptosis, shown only to require "partial" TCR signals, is unaffected by expression of kinase-active/SH3-impaired Lck mutants. Therefore, two distinctly regulated raft reorganization events are required for processive and sustained "complete" TCR signal transduction and T cell activation. Together with recent characterization of CD28 and CD48 costimulatory activities, these findings provide a molecular framework for two signal models of T cell activation.

Abstract
Peripheral T lymphocyte activation in response to TCR/CD3 stimulation is reduced in type 1 diabetic patients. To explore the basis of this deficiency, a comprehensive analysis of the signal transduction pathway downstream of the TCR/CD3 complex was performed for a cohort of patients (n = 38). The main result of the study shows that T cell hyporesponsiveness is positively correlated with a reduced amount of p56(lck) in resting T lymphocytes. Upon CD3-mediated activation, this defect leads to a hypophosphorylation of the CD3zeta-chain and few other polypeptides without affecting the recruitment of ZAP70. Other downstream effectors of the TCR/CD3 transduction machinery, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p85alpha, p59(fyn), linker for activation of T cells (LAT), and phospholipase C-gamma1, are not affected. In some patients, the severity of this phenotypic deficit could be linked to low levels of p56(lck) mRNA and resulted in the failure to efficiently induce the expression of the CD69 early activation marker. We propose that a primary deficiency in human type 1 diabetes is a defect in TCR/CD3-mediated T cell activation due to the abnormal expression of the p56(lck) tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
Lck is a member of the Src family kinases expressed predominantly in T cells, and plays a pivotal role in TCR-mediated signal transduction. Myristoylation of glysine 2 in the N-terminal Src homology 4 (SH4) domain of Lck is essential for membrane localization and function. In this study, we examined a site within the SH4 domain of Lck regulating myristoylation, membrane localization, and function of Lck. A Lck mutant in which serine 6 (Ser6) was substituted by an alanine was almost completely cytosolic in COS-7 cells, and this change of localization was associated with a drastic inhibition of myristoylation in this mutant. To assess the role of Ser6 of Lck in T cell function, we established stable transfectants expressing various Lck mutants using Lck-negative JCaM1 cells. The Lck mutant of Ser6 to alanine, most of which did not target to the plasma membrane, was not able to reconstitute TCR-mediated signaling events in JCaM1 cells, as analyzed by tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins and CD69 expression. These results demonstrate that Ser6 is a critical factor for Lck myristoylation, membrane localization, and function in T cells, presumably because the residue is important for N-myristoyl transferase recognition.

Abstract
The Lck tyrosine kinase is involved in signaling by T cell surface receptors such as TCR/CD3, CD2, and CD28. As other downstream protein-tyrosine kinases are activated upon stimulation of these receptors, it is difficult to assign which tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins represent bona fide Lck substrates and which are phosphorylated by other tyrosine kinases. We have developed a system in which Lck can be activated independently of TCR/CD3. We have shown that activation of an epidermal growth factor receptor/Lck chimera leads to the specific phosphorylation of Ras GTPase-activating protein (RasGAP) and two RasGAP-associated proteins, p56(dok) and p62(dok). Activation of the chimeric protein correlates with an increase in cellular Ca(2+) in the absence of ZAP-70 and phospholipase Cgamma1 phosphorylation. Furthermore, we have found that p62(dok) co-immunoprecipitates with the activated epidermal growth factor receptor/LckF505 and that phosphorylated Dok proteins bind to the Src homology 2 domain of Lck in vitro. In addition, we have shown that activation via the CD2 but not the TCR/CD3 receptor leads to the phosphorylation of p56(dok) and p62(dok). Using JCaM1.6 cells, we have demonstrated that Lck is required for CD2-mediated phosphorylation of Dok proteins. We propose that phosphorylation and Src homology 2-mediated association of p56(dok) and p62(dok) with Lck play a selective function in accessory receptor signal transduction mechanisms.

Abstract
Idiopathic CD4(+) lymphocytopenia (ICL) is defined by a stable loss of CD4(+) T cells in the absence of any known cause of immune deficiency. This syndrome is still of undetermined origin. It affects adult patients, some of them displaying opportunistic infections similar to HIV-infected subjects. The hypothesis that the cellular immune defect may be due to biochemical failures of the CD3-TCR pathway is investigated here in a patient associating a severe selective CD4(+) lymphocytopenia with an increased CD8(+) T cell count discovered in the course of a cryptococcal meningitidis. A 40% reduction of T cell proliferation to CD3-TCR stimulation is observed only in the CD4(+) subpopulation. The early CD3-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylations are conserved in both CD4(+) and CD8(+) subsets, and the levels of the T cell protein tyrosine kinases p56(Lck), p59(Fyn) and ZAP-70 are normal. However, we find a 50% reduction of p56(Lck) kinase activity in the patient's T cells compared to a healthy control donor. p59(Fyn) activity does not appear to be altered. Nevertheless, we do not find any genetic abnormality of p56(Lck). These results thus suggest that a defect of an unknown protein regulating p56(Lck) activity takes place in this patient's T cells. Taken together, these findings reveal p56(Lck) alteration in ICL and confirm the critical role of this kinase in the maintenance of the peripheral CD4(+) T cell subpopulation.

Abstract
The thymus-independent T lymphopoietic capacity of the murine intestinal mucosa has been established. Cryptopatches have now been identified as the location of the elusive precursors for gut-derived T cells. These cryptopatch cells have been shown to give rise to intestinal T cells expressing either TCRgammadelta or TCRalphabeta. Here we discuss the role of MHC in the development and selection of gut-derived T cells. Through the analysis of iIEL selection in animals expressing a transgenic TCRalphabeta, in the presence or absence of p56(lck), we discuss lineage relationships among CD4(-)8(+) iIEL subsets, and their possible function(s).

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
Initiation of T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling is dependent upon the activity of protein tyrosine kinases. The Src family kinase Lck is required for the initial events in TCR signaling, such as the phosphorylation of the TCR complex and the activation of ZAP-70, but little is known of its role in downstream signaling. Expression of a mutated form of Lck lacking SH3 domain function (LckW97A) in the Lck-deficient T-cell line JCaM1 revealed a requirement for Lck beyond the initiation of TCR signaling. In cells expressing LckW97A, stimulation of the TCR failed to activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, despite normal TCR zeta chain phosphorylation, ZAP-70 recruitment, and ZAP-70 activation. Activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and MAPK kinase (MEK), as well as the induction of CD69 expression, was greatly impaired in JCaM1/LckW97A cells. In contrast, the phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) and corresponding elevations in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were intact. Thus, cells expressing LckW97A exhibit a selective defect in the activation of the MAPK pathway. These results demonstrate that Lck has a role in the activation of signaling pathways beyond the initiation of TCR signaling and suggest that the MAPK pathway may be selectively controlled by regulating the function of Lck.

Abstract
T cell activation and clonal expansion is the result of the coordinated functions of the receptors for antigen and interleukin (IL)-2. The protein tyrosine kinase p56(lck) is critical for the generation of signals emanating from the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) and has also been demonstrated to play a role in IL-2 receptor signaling. We demonstrate that an IL-2-dependent, antigen-specific CD4(+) T cell clone is not responsive to anti-TCR induced growth when propagated in IL-2, but remains responsive to both antigen and CD3epsilon-specific monoclonal antibody. Survival of this IL-2-dependent clone in the absence of IL-2 was supported by overexpression of exogenous Bcl-xL. Culture of this clonal variant in the absence of IL-2 rendered it susceptible to anti-TCR-induced signaling, and correlated with the presence of kinase-active Lck associated with the plasma membrane. The same phenotype is observed in primary, resting CD4(+) T cells. Furthermore, the presence of kinase active Lck associated with the plasma membrane correlates with the presence of ZAP 70-pp21zeta complexes in both primary T cells and T cell clones in circumstances of responsive anti-TCR signaling. The results presented demonstrate that IL-2 signal transduction results in the functional uncoupling of the TCR complex through altering the subcellular distribution of kinase-active Lck.

Abstract
Members of the Src family of non-receptor tyrosine protein kinases are known to be inhibited by the intramolecular association between a phosphorylated carboxyl-terminal tyrosine residue and the SH2 domain. We have previously shown that exposure of cells to H2O2 strongly activates Lck, a lymphocyte-specific Src family kinase, by inducing phosphorylation on Tyr-394, an absolutely conserved residue within the activation loop of the catalytic domain. Here we show that Lck that has been activated by H2O2 is simultaneously phosphorylated at both the carboxyl-terminal tyrosine (Tyr-505) and Tyr-394. Thus, dephosphorylation of Tyr-505 is not a prerequisite for either phosphorylation of Lck at Tyr-394 or catalytic activation of the kinase. These results indicate that activation of Lck by phosphorylation of Tyr-394 is dominant over any inhibition induced by phosphorylation of Tyr-505. We propose that these results may be extended to all Src family members.

Abstract
One hypothesis seeking to explain the signaling and biological properties of T cell receptor for antigen (TCR) partial agonists and antagonists is the coreceptor density/kinetic model, which proposes that the pharmacologic behavior of a TCR ligand is largely determined by the relative rates of (a) dissociation ofligand from an engaged TCR and (b) recruitment oflck-linked coreceptors to this ligand-engaged receptor. Using several approaches to prevent or reduce the association of CD4 with occupied TCR, we demonstrate that consistent with this hypothesis, the biological and biochemical consequence of limiting this interaction is to convert typical agonists into partial agonist stimuli. Thus, adding anti-CD4 antibody to T cells recognizing a wild-type peptide-MHC class II ligand leads to disproportionate inhibition of interleukin-2 (IL-2) relative to IL-3 production, the same pattern seen using a TCR partial agonist/antagonist. In addition, T cells exposed to wild-type ligand in the presence of anti-CD4 antibodies show a pattern of TCR signaling resembling that seen using partial agonists, with predominant accumulation of the p21 tyrosine-phosphorylated form of TCR-zeta, reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of CD3epsilon, and no detectable phosphorylation of ZAP-70. Similar results are obtained when the wild-type ligand is presented by mutant class II MHC molecules unable to bind CD4. Likewise, antibody coligation of CD3 and CD4 results in an agonist-like phosphorylation pattern, whereas bivalent engagement of CD3 alone gives a partial agonist-like pattern. Finally, in accord with data showing that partial agonists often induce T cell anergy, CD4 blockade during antigen exposure renders cloned T cells unable to produce IL-2 upon restimulation. These results demonstrate that the biochemical and functional responses to variant TCR ligands with partial agonist properties can be largely reproduced by inhibiting recruitment of CD4 to a TCR binding a wild-type ligand, consistent with the idea that the relative rates of TCR-ligand disengagement and of association of engaged TCR with CD4 may play a key role in determining the pharmacologic properties of peptide-MHC molecule ligands. Beyond this insight into signaling through the TCR, these results have implications for models of thymocyte selection and the use of anti-coreceptor antibodies in vivo for the establishment ofimmunological tolerance.

Abstract
Src homology 2 (SH2) domains bind to phosphotyrosine (Tyr(P)) residues in specific sequence contexts in other proteins and thereby mediate tyrosine phosphorylationdependent protein-protein interactions. The SH2 domain of the Src family kinase Lck is phosphorylated at tyrosine 192 in T cells upon T cell antigen receptor triggering. We have studied the consequences of this phosphorylation on the properties of the SH2 domain and on the function of Lck in T cell activation. We report that phosphorylation at Tyr192 reduced the capacity of the isolated SH2 domain to bind a high affinity peptide ligand and Tyr(P)-containing cellular proteins. This effect was mimicked by mutation of Tyr192 to an acidic residue. In intact T cells, where Lck participates in T cell antigen receptor signal transduction in an SH2 domain-dependent manner, phosphorylation of Tyr192 correlated with reduced downstream signaling. Our results indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation of the SH2 domain of Lck terminates its high affinity binding to ligands, thereby negatively regulating its participation in T cell antigen receptor signaling. This represents a novel mechanism for the regulation of the function of SH2 domains.

Abstract
Src is the best understood member of a family of 9 tyrosine kinases that regulates cellular responses to extracellular stimuli. Activated mutants of Src are oncogenic. Using Src as an example, and referring to other Src family members where appropriate, this review describes the structure of Src, the functions of the individual domains, the regulation of Src kinase activity in the cell, the selection of substrates, and the biological functions of Src. The review concentrates on developments in the last 6-7 years, and cites data resulting from the isolation and characterization of Src mutants, crystallographic studies of the structures of SH2, SH3 and tyrosine kinase domains, biochemical studies of Src kinase activity and binding properties, and the biology of transgenic and knockout mouse strains.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase activity is required for signal transduction through the T cell antigen receptor (TCR). The Src family tyrosine kinase Lck appears to play a key role in the initiation of TCR signaling events. We have investigated the role of the phosphotyrosine-binding Src homology-2 (SH2), domain of Lck in TCR signaling. Lck containing a mutation in the phosphotyrosine binding pocket of the SH2 domain was expressed in an Lck-deficient cell line. We found that, in contrast to wild-type Lck, the SH2 domain mutant was unable to restore even the earliest TCR-mediated signaling events. To investigate the role of the Lck SH2 domain, we examined the association of tyrosine phosphoproteins with Lck. The predominant associated phosphoprotein was the ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase, which has also been implicated in the initiation of TCR signaling. In addition, the zeta subunit of the T cell receptor was found to weakly associate with Lck. Further analysis indicated that the SH2 domain of Lck can directly recognize both ZAP-70 and zeta in immunoprecipitates from TCR-stimulated cells. Our findings demonstrate that the SH2 domain of Lck is essential for the initiation of signaling events following TCR stimulation probably as a result of its ability to mediate an interaction between Lck and the ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase and/or the zeta subunit of the T cell receptor.

Abstract
Depending on their prior antigen recognition history, mature T cells respond with different functional outcomes to T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. These functional outcomes include proliferation, anergy and cell death. The biochemical basis underlying differential responses by mature T cells at different stages of their developmental pathway to TCR stimulation remains to be determined. We have previously shown that proliferating but not naive T cells were susceptible to apoptosis after TCR stimulation and that the tyrosine phosphorylation of TCR zeta, CD3 gamma, and CD3 epsilon in proliferating T cells was decreased after TCR stimulation. In this study. We determined whether differences in phosphorylation between naive and proliferating T cells were due to altered regulation of p56lck (Lck) or p59fyn (Fyn) by their positive or negative regulators, CD45 or p5Ocsk (Csk), respectively. We found that Lck was expressed at the same level and had the same phosphotyrosine content in naive and proliferating T cells. However, its autophosphorylation activity was lower in proliferating cells, corresponding to a 2-fold decrease in its specific kinase activity. Similarly, the specific kinase activity of Fyn was also decreased by about 2-fold in proliferating T cells. In contrast, although Csk was expressed at the same level in both cell types its specific kinase activity was increased by 6-fold in proliferating T cells. The tyrosine phosphatase CD45, a positive regulator of src-family kinases, was overexpressed by 3- to 6-fold in proliferating cells. However, the specific activity of CD45 in naive and proliferating T cells was the same. Therefore, although the protein expression level of CD45 was increased in proliferating T cells it only partially compensated for the hyperactivity of Csk resulting in a 2-fold reduction in the specific activity of Lck and Fyn in proliferating T cells.

Abstract
The nef gene is unique to the primate lentiviruses and encodes a cytoplasmic membrane-associated protein that affects T-cell signaling and is essential for both maintenance of a high virus load in vivo and for disease progression. Here we investigated the perturbation of cell signaling by Nef in T-cells and found that Nef interacts with the T-cell restricted Lek tyrosine kinase both in vitro and in vivo. The molecular basis for this interaction was analyzed. We show that cell-derived Nef is precipitated in a synergistic manner by the recombinant Src homology 2 (SH2) and SH3 domains from Lck. A functional proline-rich motif and the tyrosine phosphorylation of Nef were evidenced as likely participants in this interaction. The precipitation of Nef by the Lck recombinant proteins was specific, since neither Fyn, Csk, p85 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase nor phospholipase Cgamma SH2 domains coprecipitated Nef from T-cells. Finally, depressed Lck kinase activity resulted from the presence of Nef, both in vitro and in intact cells, and nef expression resulted in impairment of both proximal and distal Lck-mediated signaling events. These results provide a molecular basis for the Nef-induced T-cell signaling defect and its role in AIDS pathogenesis.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase p56lck (Lck) has important signaling roles in T-cell development and activation. We have mutated the two known regulatory tyrosine residues of CD4-associated Lck and examined the effects on its kinase-dependent function in an antigen-specific CD4-dependent T-cell hybridoma. Substitution of phenylalanine for the negative regulatory tyrosine-505 within a CD4/Lck chimera resulted in a slightly increased response to antigen, whereas mutation of the major in vitro autophosphorylation site (tyrosine-394) completely abolished the kinase-dependent function of Lck. Even though its kinase activity was only slightly affected, the F394 mutant behaved similarly to a catalytically inactive chimeric protein. Cross-linking of the F505 mutant, but not of wild-type Lck or F394 mutants, resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple cellular proteins. Although the pattern of tyrosine phosphorylation resembled that observed upon T-cell receptor cross-linking, there was no induction of interleukin-2 synthesis upon cross-linking of the chimeric protein. These results suggest that the activity of the Lck kinase domain in vivo is controlled by dephosphorylation at the negative regulatory site and phosphorylation at the positive regulatory (autophosphorylation) site. Additionally, our data show that the specific kinase activity of Lck towards an artificial substrate need not correlate with its ability to phosphorylate cellular proteins or its biological function.

Abstract
Using the CD4+ human T cell clone P28, we demonstrated that the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 inhibited CD3-induced inositol trisphosphate production, calcium influx and T cell proliferation. Additionally, gp120 was shown to dissociate the tyrosine kinase p56lck from CD4 in CEM cells, with a concommittant inhibition of CD4-linked kinase activity. We have addressed the question whether disruption of CD4/p56lck or CD4/CD3-T cell receptor interactions, or both, could account for the inhibitory effect of gp120 in P28 cells. By comparing the effects of various anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) with those of gp120, we show that gp120 and IOT4a modulate CD4 expression, and decrease CD4-associated p56lck and CD4-linked kinase activity at the plasma membrane. In contrast, OKT4A and OKT4 anti-CD4 mAb have no inhibitory effect. Interestingly, gp120 also inhibits CD3-induced Lck activation and cellular tyrosine phosphorylation, particularly of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C-gamma-1. Kinetic experiments reveal that the inhibitory effect of gp120 on CD3-induced tyrosine phosphorylation appears as early as 30 min, but culminate when CD4-p56lck complexes disappear from the cell surface after 4 h. These results suggest that a negative signal is triggered by gp120 that results, after a few hours, in down-modulation of CD4-p56lck complexes and the impairment of CD3 signaling. Supporting this hypothesis, gp120 inhibits CD3-linked kinase activity as shown by the inhibition of the phosphorylation of CD3 chains, leading to the inhibition of subsequent signal transduction.

Abstract
To further understand the interactions between Zap-70, Src family kinases, and other T-cell proteins, we have examined the regulation of Zap-70 in the antigen-specific T-cell line BI-141. By analyzing derivatives containing an activated version of either p56lck or p59fynT, it was observed that the two Src-related enzymes augmented T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of Zap-70, as well as its association with components of the antigen receptor complex. Importantly, the accumulation of TCR.Zap-70 complexes quantitatively and temporally correlated with the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of the CD3 and zeta chains of TCR. Using a CD4-positive variant of BI-141, we also found that the ability of Zap-70 to undergo tyrosine phosphorylation and associate with TCR was enhanced by aggregation of TCR with the CD4 co-receptor. Further studies allowed the identification of two distinct pools of tyrosine-phosphorylated Zap-70 in activated T-cells. While one population was associated with TCR, the other was co-immunoprecipitated with a 120-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein of unknown identity. In addition to supporting the notion that Src-related enzymes regulate the recruitment of Zap-70 in TCR signaling, these data added further complexity to previous models of regulation of Zap-70. Furthermore, they suggested that p120 may be an effector and/or a regulator of Zap-70 in activated T-lymphocytes.

Abstract
Engagement of T-cell receptor (TcR)/CD3 complexes on T-cells rapidly provokes tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, which is thought to be an essential step to the following events of T-cell activation. p56lck, a member of src-related, non-receptor type protein tyrosine kinases, is expressed predominantly in lymphocytes. Accumulating data suggest that p56lck is one of the kinases responsible for TcR-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation. To investigate the role of p56lck in TcR-signaling in detail, we injected anti-Lck monoclonal antibody (mAb), MOL171 or MOL294, both specifically suppress Lck kinase activity in vitro, into Jurkat T-cells by the erythrocyte-ghost procedure in order to block the activity of p56lck. In Jurkat cells injected with anti-Lck mAb, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization induced by TcR-stimulation was markedly reduced in comparison with control mouse IgG-injected samples. This block of Ca2+ influx seems to be specific for TcR-signaling because anti-Lck mAb-injection did not cause significant suppression of phytohaemagglutinin-induced Ca2+ increase. Furthermore, injection of anti-Lck mAb inhibited TcR-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation of 100 kDa protein and phospholipase C gamma 1. These results confirm that p56lck is an indispensable element of TcR-signaling and p100 and phospholipase C gamma 1 are strongly presumed to be candidates for substrates for p56lck.

Abstract
The interaction between SH2 domains and tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins is essential in several cytosolic signal transduction pathways. Here we report thermodynamic studies of the interaction of the p56lck (lck) SH2 domain with several phosphopeptides, using the technique of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). This is the first report of the use of ITC to study SH2 domain binding reactions. The free energy of binding of the SH2 domain of lck to a phosphopeptide corresponding to the autoregulatory C-terminus of the protein (pY505) was found to be similar to that measured for a phosphopeptide modeled on the C-terminus of the epidermal growth-factor receptor (delta G degrees approximately -7.0 kcal mol-1 at pH 6.8), although significant differences in the enthalpy and entropy were observed. Binding of a phosphopeptide modeled on the C-terminus of p185neu was weaker (delta G degrees approximately -5.4 kcal mol-1 at pH 6.8). Lowering the pH to 5.5 reduced the binding affinity of pY505 by approximately 1 order of magnitude. We ascribe this to the protonation of a histidine side chain in the SH2 domain (H180), which is involved in a hydrogen-bonding network that optimizes the binding site geometry. No difference in affinity was observed between portions of lck corresponding to the SH3-SH2 (residues 63-228) and SH2 (residues 123-228) domains for the pY505 peptide. We also studied the effect upon pY505 peptide binding of mutations at two highly conserved arginine residues in the lck SH2 domain (R134 and R154).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Tyrosine protein phosphorylation is necessary for antigen receptor-mediated activation of T lymphocytes. This signal is generated at least in part by the Src-related tyrosine protein kinases p56lck and p59fynT (refs 2, 3). The activity of these two enzymes is repressed by phosphorylation of a conserved carboxy-terminal tyrosine residue. Recent studies suggest that this inhibitory phosphorylation may be caused by p50csk (for C-terminal Src kinase), a tyrosine protein kinase which accumulates most abundantly in thymus and spleen. To investigate the function of Csk in T lymphocytes and characterize the processes regulating T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling, we examined the effects of overexpression of Csk on the physiology of an antigen-specific mouse T-cell line. We report here that p50csk negatively regulates TCR-induced tyrosine protein phosphorylation and lymphokine production. This provides evidence for the involvement of Csk in the regulation of T-cell activation.

Abstract
The lymphocyte-specific cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck (Lck) is essential for T cell development and activation. Its association with the co-receptor molecules, CD4 and CD8, is required for potentiation of antigen-specific signals through the T cell antigen receptor. To study the mechanism of action of Lck, hybrid molecules consisting of the extracellular and transmembrane domains of CD4 fused to Lck or other Src family kinases were analyzed in an antigen-specific, CD4-dependent T cell hybridoma. Surprisingly, a chimera with a deletion of the Lck kinase domain was more active than the full-length protein. In contrast, point mutations in residues required for SH2 or kinase function resulted in moderately decreased activity, while a combination of these mutations rendered the chimera largely inactive. Different domains of CD4-associated Lck therefore have distinct functions that can independently contribute to T cell activation.
