The SLP-76 Src homology 2 domain is required for T cell development and activation.
The adapter protein Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) is critical for multiple aspects of T cell development and function. Through its protein-binding domains, SLP-76 serves as a platform for the assembly of multiple enzymes and adapter proteins that function together to activate second messengers required for TCR signal propagation. The N terminus of S...
متن کاملConditional deletion reveals a cell-autonomous requirement of SLP-76 for thymocyte selection
The SH2 domain containing leukocyte phosphoprotein of 76 kD (SLP-76) is critical for pre-TCR-mediated maturation to the CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) stage in the thymus. The absolute block in SLP-76null mice at the CD4-CD8-CD44-CD25+ (double-negative 3, DN3) stage has hindered our understanding of the role of this adaptor in alphabeta TCR-mediated signal transduction in primary thymocytes and ...
متن کاملActivated Cdc42-associated kinase 1 (ACK1) binds the sterile α motif (SAM) domain of the adaptor SLP-76 and phosphorylates proximal tyrosines
The adaptor protein Src homology 2 domain-containing leukocyte phosphoprotein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) plays a crucial role in T cell activation by linking antigen receptor (T cell receptor, TCR) signals to downstream pathways. At its N terminus, SLP-76 has three key tyrosines (Tyr-113, Tyr-128, and Tyr-145, "3Y") as well as a sterile α motif (SAM) domain whose function is unclear. We showed previous...
متن کاملDifferential role of SLP-76 domains in T cell development and function.
The adapter SLP-76 is essential for thymocyte development. SLP-76(-/-) mice were reconstituted with SLP-76 deletion mutant transgenes to examine the role of SLP-76 domains in T cell development and function. The N-terminal domain deletion mutant completely failed to restore thymocyte development. Mice reconstituted with Gads-binding site and SH2 domain deletion mutants had decreased thymic cell...
متن کاملInactivation of c-Cbl Reverses Neonatal Lethality and T Cell Developmental Arrest of SLP-76–deficient Mice
c-Cbl is an adaptor protein that negatively regulates signal transduction events involved in thymic-positive selection. To further characterize the function of c-Cbl in T cell development, we analyzed the effect of c-Cbl inactivation in mice deficient in the scaffolding molecule SLP-76. SLP-76-deficient mice show a high frequency of neonatal lethality; and in surviving mice, T cell development ...
