چکیده

CD45-AP specifically associates with CD45, a protein tyrosine phosphatase essential for lymphocyte differentiation and antigen receptor-mediated signal transduction. CD45 is thought to mediate antigen receptor signaling by dephosphorylating regulatory tyrosine residues on Src family protein tyrosine kinases such as Lck. However, the mechanism for regulating CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase activity remains unclear. CD45-AP-null mice were created to examine the role of CD45-AP in CD45-mediated signal transduction. T and B lymphocytes showed reduced proliferation in response to antigen receptor stimulation. Both mixed leukocyte reaction and cytotoxic T lymphocyte functions of T cells were also markedly decreased in CD45-AP-null mice. Interestingly, the interaction between CD45 and Lck was significantly reduced in CD45-AP-null T cells, indicating that CD45-AP directly or indirectly mediates the interaction of CD45 with Lck. Our data indicate that CD45-AP is required for normal antigen receptor signaling and function in lymphocytes.

The role of the desert hedgehog signaling pathway during degeneration and regeneration of peripheral nerves

The desert hedgehog (Dhh) signaling pathway is involved in the development of peripheral nerves (PNs). Dhh-null mice show abnormal neuronal development and perineurial barrier function. As it was previously shown that dhh is mainly expressed in developmental nerves and Sonic hedgehog protein (dhh homologous) has therapeutic effects in neuronal survival, we attempted to investigate the possible ...

IMMUNOBIOLOGY CD45-associated protein inhibits CD45 dimerization and up-regulates its protein tyrosine phosphatase activity

CD45, a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP), plays an essential role in lymphocyte development and immune responses. Recent evidence suggests that dimerization of CD45 downregulates its function. However, the mechanisms by which CD45 dimerization is regulated remain unclear, and there is no direct evidence that the PTP activity of CD45 dimers is less than that of monomers. CD45 in ...
