Signal transduction by the T cell antigen receptor.
The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) must recognize antigen, and translate this recognition event into intracellular signal transduction events. Two signal transduction events are regulated by the TCR: the activation of a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and phospholipase C (PLC). Recent studies suggest that the TCR-activated PTK regulates PLC activation by the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues of...
متن کاملConstitutively Active Lck Kinase in T Cells Drives Antigen Receptor Signal Transduction
T cell antigen receptor (TCR) and coreceptor ligation is thought to initiate signal transduction by inducing activation of the kinase Lck. Here we showed that catalytically active Lck was present in unstimulated naive T cells and thymocytes and was readily detectable in these cells in lymphoid organs. In naive T cells up to approximately 40% of total Lck was constitutively activated, part of wh...
متن کاملT cell receptor-independent CD2 signal transduction in FcR+ cells
CD2 subserves both adhesion and signal transduction functions in T cells, thymocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells. In mature T lymphocytes, CD2-mediated signaling function apparently requires surface expression of T cell receptors (TCRs). In contrast, in CD2+ CD3- NK cells and thymocytes, signal transduction through CD2 is TCR independent. To resolve this paradox and characterize TCR-independ...
متن کاملStimulation of CD5 enhances signal transduction by the T cell antigen receptor.
After the addition of a CD3 monoclonal antibody to peripheral T cells that have been previously stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, inositol phosphates are produced at a rapid rate for 2 min and at a much slower rate thereafter. Stimulation of CD5 allows CD3-mediated production of inositol phosphates to be sustained at a brisk rate for greater than 20 min and augments the initial CD3-mediated i...
متن کاملNegative regulation of T cell antigen receptor signal transduction by hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP).
The hematopoietic tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP) is predominantly expressed in thymocytes and T lymphocytes and at lower levels in other hematopoietic cells. Expression of the gene is enhanced by the T cell growth factor interleukin-2, suggesting a role for HePTP in T cell proliferation or differentiation. We report that HePTP blocks T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-induced transcriptional activatio...
