Abstract
Type II phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 4-kinases are involved in the synthesis of PtdIns 4-phosphates and modulate various cell functions like, intracellular signaling, cytoskeletal rearrangements, vesicular trafficking, and pathogen invasion. In CD3 receptor activated T cells, a type II PtdIns 4-kinase β is recruited to CD3 receptor zeta and plays a role in intracellular calcium release and probably in actin cytoskeleton reorganization. T cell receptor mediated activation is supported by CD4 receptor. The role of type II PtdIns 4-kinase β in CD4 receptor-mediated signaling was addressed in the present manuscript. Crosslinking of CD4 receptors with monoclonal antibodies showed an increase in CD4-associated PtdIns 4-kinase activity and requires p56(lck) activity. Biochemical characterization suggests that it belongs to type II PtdIns 4-kinase family. shRNA mediated knockdown of type II PtdIns 4-kinase β showed abrogation of CD4 receptor induced intracellular calcium release. These results suggest that type II PtdIns 4-kinase β plays an integral part in CD4 receptor-mediated signaling.
