We previously demonstrated that long term treatment of the Ag-specific CD4+ T cell clone P28D with soluble HIV envelope glycoprotein gp120 results in a marked impairment of CD3/TCR-mediated responses. In this report, to further understand these inhibitory effects, the binding properties and internalization of gp120 have been investigated, in parallel with functional studies, in long term incubations of P28D cells with gp120. Immunofluorescence studies show that surface-bound gp120 level is maximal within 1 h of incubation at 37 degrees C and then gradually decreases. This decrease is accompanied by a progressive down-modulation of membrane CD4 (30-35% loss over a 18-h incubation period) without concomitant alteration of the CD4 mRNA steady-state level. Similar experiments performed with 125I-labeled gp120 demonstrate that the glycoprotein is progressively internalized (up to 35% internalized material after 18 h) and that it accumulates inside the cells. Confocal microscopy studies show that internalized gp120 is concentrated in localized intracellular compartments. CD4 also accumulates in compartments with a similar localization and is stained with mAb OKT4 but not with mAb OKT4a. Concomitantly to internalization of gp120 and disappearance of membrane CD4, a correlated loss of the CD4-associated tyrosine kinase p56lck is evidenced. Interestingly, a progressive impairment of the P28D responses to specific Ag or to anti-CD3 mAb is also observed. Inhibitions of T cell proliferation increase with the degree of both CD4 and p56lck down-modulation. Removal of exogenous gp120 results in a rapid and spontaneous release of internalized gp120 into a degraded form. A progressive restoration of CD4 and p56lck levels is also noticed. In parallel, CD3/TCR-mediated responses of clone P28D are fully recovered. Altogether, our results suggest that HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 is able to down-modulate membrane CD4 presumably by a cointernalization process and to further down-modulate the associated p56lck. This dual phenomenon is presumably involved in the direct immunosuppressive effect of gp120 on the CD3/TCR-mediated activation pathway. 相似文献

The lymphocyte glycoprotein CD4 is constitutively internalized and recycled in nonlymphoid cells, but is excluded from the endocytic pathway in lymphocytic cells (Pelchen-Matthews, A., J. E. Armes, G. Griffiths, and M. Marsh. 1991. J. Exp. Med. 173: 575-587). Inhibition of CD4 endocytosis is dependent on CD4 expressing an intact cytoplasmic domain and is only observed in cells where CD4 can interact with the protein tyrosine kinase p56lck, a member of the src gene family. We have expressed p56lck, p60c-src, or chimeras of the two proteins in CD4-transfected NIH-3T3 or HeLa cells. Immunoprecipitation of CD4 and in vitro kinase assays showed that p56lck and the lck/src chimera, which contains the NH2 terminus of p56lck, can associate with CD4. In contrast, p60c-src and the src/lck chimera, which has the NH2 terminus of p60c-src, do not associate with CD4. Endocytosis assays using radioiodinated anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that coexpression of CD4 with p56lck, but not with p60c-src, inhibited CD4 endocytosis, and that the extent of the inhibition depended directly on the relative levels of CD4 and p56lck expressed. The uptake of mutant CD4 molecules which cannot interact with p56lck was not affected. Measurement of the fluid-phase endocytosis of HRP or the internalization of transferrin indicated that the effect of p56lck was specific for CD4, and did not extend to other receptor-mediated or fluid-phase endocytic processes. Immunogold labeling of CD4 at the cell surface and observation by electron microscopy demonstrated directly that p56lck inhibits CD4 endocytosis by preventing its entry into coated pits. 相似文献

p56lck, a member of the src family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), is expressed predominantly in T-lymphocytes. Association of p56lck with CD4 and CD8 T-cell receptor (TcR) accessory molecules suggests that p56lck may play a specialized role in antigen-induced T-cell activation. CD4 and CD8 molecules are known to stabilize the interaction between TcR and the major histocompatibility complex during T-cell activation. To examine the role of p56lck in the dynamics of the CD4 molecule, p56lck-expressing transfectant cell clones were prepared by the transfection of an lck-gene plasmid containing an inducible promoter into a CD4+lck- human monocytoid cell line. When these transfectant cells were stimulated with phorbol ester, CD4 internalization on these p56lck-expressing cell lines was selectively and markedly retarded, as compared to p56lck-negative control cell lines. When cell-surface CD4 and intracellular CD4 were selectively precipitated after stimulation, the intracellular CD4 molecules were dissociated from p56lck whereas the surface-retained CD4 molecules were still associated with p56lck. Moreover, the dissociation of p56lck from CD4 appeared to occur prior to the PMA-induced internalization of CD4. These data indicate that p56lck regulates the PMA-induced internalization of CD4 possibly via its association with CD4. Treatment with genistein, a PTK inhibitor, revealed that the PTK activity of p56lck might not be involved in this regulatory effect of p56lck on CD4 internalization. 相似文献

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120 exterior glycoprotein is conformationally flexible. Upon binding the host cell receptor, CD4, gp120 assumes a conformation that is able to bind the chemokine receptors CCR5 or CXCR4, which act as coreceptors for the virus. CD4-binding-site (CD4BS) antibodies are neutralizing antibodies elicited during natural infection that are directed against gp120 epitopes that overlap the binding site for CD4. Recent studies (S. H. Xiang et al., J. Virol. 76:9888-9899, 2002) suggest that CD4BS antibodies recognize conformations of gp120 distinct from the CD4-bound conformation. This predicts that the binding of CD4BS antibodies will inhibit chemokine receptor binding. Here, we show that Fab fragments and complete immunoglobulin molecules of CD4BS antibodies inhibit CD4-independent gp120 binding to CCR5 and cell-cell fusion mediated by CD4-independent HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins. These results are consistent with a model in which the binding of CD4BS antibodies limits the ability of gp120 to assume a conformation required for coreceptor binding. 相似文献

Myxoma virus is a pathogenic poxvirus that induces extensive dysregulation of cellular immunity in infected European rabbits. Infection of a rabbit CD4+ T-cell line (RL-5) with myxoma virus results in dramatic reductions of cell surface levels of CD4 as monitored by flow cytometry. The virus-induced downregulation of CD4 requires early but not late viral gene expression and could not be inhibited by staurosporine, an inhibitor of protein kinase C, which effectively blocks phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate-induced downregulation of CD4. The decrease in total cellular levels of CD4 during myxoma virus infection could be inhibited by the lysosomotrophic agent NH4Cl, suggesting a lysosomal fate for CD4 during myxoma virus infection. Steady-state levels of the CD4-associated protein tyrosine kinase p56lck remained unchanged during myxoma virus infection, suggesting that p56lck dissociates from CD4 prior to CD4 degradation in virus infected cells. Total p56lck kinase activity was unaffected during myxoma virus infection, although the amount of p56lck physically associated with CD4 declined in parallel with the loss of CD4. Thus, myxoma virus infection of CD4+ T lymphocytes triggers CD4 downregulation via a protein kinase C-independent pathway, causing the dissociation of p56lck and the degradation of CD4 in lysosomal vesicles. 相似文献

The catalytic activity of p56lck is repressed by phosphorylation of a conserved carboxy-terminal tyrosine residue (tyrosine 505). Accumulating data show that this phosphorylation is mediated by the tyrosine protein kinase p50csk and that it is reversed by the transmembrane tyrosine protein phosphatase CD45. Recent studies have indicated that dephosphorylation of tyrosine 505 in resting T cells is necessary for the initiation of antigen-induced T-cell activation. To better understand this phenomenon, we have characterized the factors regulating tyrosine 505 phosphorylation in an antigen-specific T-cell line (BI-141). As is the case for other T-cell lines, Lck molecules from unstimulated BI-141 cells exhibited a pronounced dephosphorylation of the inhibitory carboxyl-terminal tyrosine. This state could be corrected by incubation of cells with the tyrosine protein phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate, suggesting that it reflected the unrestricted action of tyrosine protein phosphatases. In structure-function analyses, mutation of the site of Lck myristylation (glycine 2) partially restored phosphorylation at tyrosine 505 in BI-141 cells. Since the myristylation-defective mutant also failed to stably associate with cellular membranes, this effect was most probably the consequence of removal of p56lck from the vicinity of membrane phosphatases like CD45. Deletion of the unique domain of Lck, or its replacement by the equivalent sequence from p59fyn, also increased the extent of tyrosine 505 phosphorylation in vivo. This effect was unrelated to changes in Lck membrane association and therefore was potentially related to defects in crucial protein-protein interactions at the membrane. In contrast, deletion of the SH3 or SH2 domain, or mutation of the phosphotransfer motif (lysine 273) or the site of autophosphorylation (tyrosine 394), had no impact on phosphate occupancy at tyrosine 505. In combination, these results indicated that the hypophosphorylation of the inhibitory tyrosine of p56(lck) in T lymphocytes is likely the result of the predominant action of tyrosine protein phosphatases. Moreover, they showed that both the amino-terminal myristylation signal and the unique domain of p56(lck) play critical roles in this process. 相似文献

p56 lck is a well-characterized tyrosine protein kinase (TPK) which is thought to play a role in mitogenic signal transduction in T lymphocytes. Immunoblot analysis of human lymphocyte proteins using an antiserum cross-reactive with phosphotyrosine resulted in the detection of a 55-60 kDa protein band (presumably p56 lck) as well as several additional phosphotyrosyl proteins in lymphocyte extracts. All of these phosphotyrosyl proteins were down-regulated following mitotic stimulation. Autophosphorylation of lymphocyte microsomal fractions in the presence of [gamma-32P] ATP resulted in the labelling of p56 lck as well as other proteins of different molecular weights. Analysis of these labelled proteins by tryptic digestion resulted in strikingly similar peptide maps. The data suggest that lymphocytes may contain a family of TPKs structurally related to p56 lck. The down-regulation of the putative TPKs following mitogenic stimulation of lymphocytes with phytohaemagglutinin suggests that this family of TPKs may participate in mitotic signalling events, followed by their down-regulation. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific CD4 T-cell responses, particularly to the envelope glycoproteins of the virus, are weak or absent in most HIV-infected patients. Although these poor responses can be attributed simply to the destruction of the specific CD4 T cells by the virus, other factors also appear to contribute to the suppression of these virus-specific responses. We previously showed that human monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for the CD4 binding domain of gp120 (gp120(CD4BD)), when complexed with gp120, inhibited the proliferative responses of gp120-specific CD4 T-cells. MAbs to other gp120 epitopes did not exhibit this activity. The present study investigated the inhibitory mechanisms of the anti-gp120(CD4BD) MAbs. The anti-gp120(CD4BD) MAbs complexed with gp120 suppressed gamma interferon production as well as proliferation of gp120-specific CD4 T cells. Notably, the T-cell responses to gp120 were inhibited only when the MAbs were added to antigen-presenting cells (APCs) during antigen pulse; the addition of the MAbs after pulsing caused no inhibition. However, the anti-gp120(CD4BD) MAbs by themselves, or as MAb/gp120 complexes, did not affect the presentation of gp120-derived peptides by the APCs to T cells. These MAb/gp120 complexes also did not inhibit the ability of APCs to process and present unrelated antigens. To test whether the suppressive effect of anti-gp120(CD4BD) antibodies is caused by the antibodies' ability to block gp120-CD4 interaction, APCs were treated during antigen pulse with anti-CD4 MAbs. These treated APCs remained capable of presenting gp120 to the T cells. These results suggest that anti-gp120(CD4BD) Abs inhibit gp120 presentation by altering the uptake and/or processing of gp120 by the APCs but their inhibitory activity is not due to blocking of gp120 attachment to CD4 on the surface of APCs. 相似文献

An investigation into the role of CD45 isoforms in T cell antigen receptor signal transduction was carried out by transfecting CD45-negative CD4(+)CD8(+) HPB-ALL T cells with the CD45R0, CD45RBC, and CD45RABC isoforms. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis showed that the CD45R0 isoform, but not the CD45RBC or CD45RABC isoforms, was found as homodimers and also preferentially associated with CD4 and CD8 at the cell-surface. A comparison was therefore made of T cell antigen receptor signaling between sub-clones expressing either CD45R0 or CD45RBC. Under basal conditions CD4-associated p56(lck) tyrosine kinase activity and cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation levels were higher in the CD45R0(+) than in the CD45RBC(+) sub-clones. Upon CD3-CD4 ligation, TCR-zeta phosphorylation, ZAP-70 recruitment to the p21/p23 TCR-zeta phosphoisomers, ZAP-70 phosphorylation, as well as p56(lck), c-Cbl and Slp-76 phosphorylation, were all markedly increased in CD45R0(+) compared with CD45RBC(+) cells. T cell antigen receptor (TCR) stimulation alone also promoted c-Cbl phosphorylation in CD45R0(+) but not in CD45RBC(+) cells. Our results are consistent with a model in which association of CD45R0 with CD4 generates a more active pool of CD4-associated p56(lck) kinase molecules. Upon CD3-CD4 co-ligation, the active p56(lck) increases the intensity of T cell antigen receptor signal transduction coupling by promoting TCR-zeta chain phosphorylation and ZAP-70 recruitment. 相似文献

Several styryl-based compounds were evaluated for their capacity to act as inhibitors of the non-receptor tyrosine protein kinase p56lck. Our results demonstrate that alpha-cyanocinnamamide compounds can inhibit both the in vitro tyrosine autophosphorylation of p56lck as well as p56lck phosphorylation of exogenous substrates. Compound 67B-83-A was found to inhibit p56lck protein kinase activity with a calculated IC50 of 7 to 10 microM. This compound did not significantly inhibit the tyrosine protein kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor and was found to be a less effective tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor for other members of the src family of protein kinases. 相似文献

Requirement for association of p56lck with CD4 in antigen-specific signal transduction in T cells. 总被引:60,自引:0,他引:60
The T cell-specific transmembrane glycoprotein CD4 interacts with class II MHC molecules via its external domain and is associated with tyrosine kinase p56lck via a cysteine motif in its cytoplasmic domain. We have assessed the ability of CD4 to synergize with the antigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) for induction of transmembrane signals that result in lymphokine production. Mutant CD4 molecules were introduced into T cells that lacked endogenous CD4 but expressed TCRs specific for lysozyme peptides or the superantigen SEA bound to Ab or Abm12 class II MHC molecules. With either ligand, T cell activation occurred only when CD4 was associated with p56lck. These results demonstrate that residues within the cytoplasmic domain of CD4 are required for its coreceptor function in TCR-mediated signal transduction and strongly support the notion that the association of CD4 with p56lck is critical in this process. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 envelope glycoprotein regions important for association with the gp41 transmembrane glycoprotein. 总被引:51,自引:45,他引:6
Insertion of four amino acids into various locations within the amino-terminal halves of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 or gp41 envelope glycoprotein disrupts the noncovalent association of these two envelope subunits (M. Kowalski, J. Potz, L. Basiripour, T. Dorfman, W. C. Goh, E. Terwilliger, A. Dayton, C. Rosen, W. A. Haseltine, and J. Sodroski, Science 237:1351-1355, 1987). To localize the determinants on the gp120 envelope glycoprotein important for subunit association, amino acids conserved among primate immunodeficiency viruses were changed. Substitution mutations affecting either of two highly conserved regions located at the amino (residues 36 to 45) and carboxyl (residues 491 to 501) ends of the mature gp120 molecule resulted in nearly complete dissociation of the envelope glycoprotein subunits. Partial dissociation phenotypes were observed for some changes affecting residues in the third and fourth conserved gp120 regions. These results suggest that hydrophobic regions at both ends of the gp120 glycoprotein contribute to noncovalent association with the gp41 transmembrane glycoprotein. 相似文献

The external domain of the envelope glycoprotein, gp120, of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) has been expressed as a mature secreted product using recombinant baculoviruses and the expressed protein, which has an observed molecular mass of 110 kDa, was purified by monoclonal antibody (MAb) affinity chromatography. N-terminal sequence analysis showed a signal sequence cleavage identity similar to that of the gp120s of both human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV type 2. The expressed molecule bound to soluble CD4 with an affinity that was approximately 10-fold lower than that of gp120 from HIV-1. A screening of the ability of SIV envelope MAbs to inhibit CD4 binding revealed two groups of inhibitory MAbs. One group is dependent on conformation, while the second group maps to a discrete epitope near the amino terminus. The particular role of the V3 loop region of the molecule in CD4 binding was investigated by the construction of an SIV-HIV hybrid in which the V3 loop of SIV was precisely replaced with the equivalent domain from HIV-1 MN. The hybrid glycoprotein bound HIV-1 V3 loop MAbs and not SIV V3 MAbs but continued to bind conformational SIV MAbs and soluble CD4 as well as the parent molecule. 相似文献

Incubation of the human T cells, Jurkat, with two sets of activating anti-CD2 mAb (T11(2) + T11(3), D66 + T11(1)) induced delocalization of p56lck and CD2 receptors from the plasma membrane and increased the tyrosine kinase activity of p56lck. The anti-CD2 mAb combination (T11(2) + T11(3)) that produced the most rapid increase in p56lck kinase activity also induced the most rapid delocalization of the kinase. In stimulated cells, both p56lck and CD2 receptors are detected in cytoplasmic vesicles. The internalization of p56lck in endocytic vesicles was established by confocal microscopy. By double staining it was shown that only part of the p56lck colocalized with the internalized CD2 receptor suggesting distinct sorting processes. Internalization of p56lck appeared to be specific of CD2 stimulation as: 1) in Jurkat cells triggered with an anti-CD3 mAb, p56lck was not internalized whereas CD3 receptors were completely endocytosed; 2) when cells were stimulated via CD4, the kinase and CD4 receptors remained associated with the plasma membrane. In addition, internalization of p56lck upon stimulation of CD2 receptors was not modified in CD2+/CD3-Jurkat cells indicating that CD3 is not involved in this process. The identification of different subcellular localizations of p56lck in resting and stimulated T cells should represent an important step in the definition of its functional activity. 相似文献

Delineation of a region of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 glycoprotein critical for interaction with the CD4 receptor 总被引:166,自引:0,他引:166

The primary event in the infection of cells by HIV is the interaction between the viral envelope glycoprotein, gp120, and its cellular receptor, CD4. A recombinant form of gp120 was found to bind to a recombinant CD4 antigen with high affinity. Two gp120-specific murine monoclonal antibodies were able to block the interaction between gp120 and CD4. The gp120 epitope of one of these antibodies was isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography of acid-cleaved gp120 and shown to be contained within amino acids 397-439. Using in vitro mutagenesis, we have found that deletion of 12 amino acids from this region of gp120 leads to a complete loss of binding. In addition, a single amino acid substitution in this region results in significantly decreased binding, suggesting that sequences within this region are directly involved in the binding of gp120 to the CD4 receptor. 相似文献

The CD4 receptor subserves both adhesion and signal transduction functions on CD4+ T-lymphocytes. CD4 is physically associated with the src-related protein tyrosine kinase p56lck. Cell surface engagement of CD4 leads to enzymatic activation of the associated p56lck and the phosphorylation of T-cell proteins on tyrosine residues. We have identified a 72-74kD protein phosphorylated on tyrosine residues following activation of CD4-associated p56lck as the serine-threonine kinase Raf-1. The demonstration that Raf-1 is a substrate for the CD4/p56lck receptor system in normal cells suggests that receptor and nonreceptor classes of protein tyrosine kinases can independently engage functionally overlapping signal transduction pathways. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 glycoprotein precursor retains a CD4-p56lck complex in the endoplasmic reticulum. 总被引:11,自引:6,他引:5
The cell surface glycoprotein, CD4, is the receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in T lymphocytes. Following HIV infection, there is reduced expression of CD4 on the cell surface, and this downregulation probably results, at least in part, from the formation of complexes containing the HIV type 1 (HIV-1) glycoprotein precursor (gp160) and CD4 that are not transported from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). At the plasma membrane of T cells, CD4 is tightly associated with a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase (p56lck) that is involved in T-cell activation. Using a transient expression system with HeLa cells, we show by pulse-labeling and immunoprecipitation that newly synthesized CD4 can associate with p56lck before CD4 is transported from the ER. In the presence of HIV-1 gp160, a ternary complex of gp160-CD4 and p56lck forms in the ER. Using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, we observed complete retention of p56lck in the ER. Such mislocation of a tyrosine kinase to the cytoplasmic face of the ER could play a role in lymphocyte killing caused by HIV infection or expression of gp160 alone. 相似文献

The lck tyrosine protein kinase interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of the CD4 glycoprotein through its unique amino-terminal domain 总被引:72,自引:0,他引:72
The CD4 lymphocyte surface glycoprotein and the lck tyrosine protein kinase p56lck are found as a complex in T lymphocytes. We have defined the domains in both proteins that are responsible for this interaction by coexpressing hybrid and deleted forms of the two proteins in HeLa cells. We have found that the unique 32 amino-terminal residues of p56lck and the 38 carboxy-terminal residues of CD4 that comprise the cytoplasmic domain are both necessary and sufficient by themselves for the interaction of the two proteins. The interaction appears to be independent of other T cell-specific proteins and probably occurs before CD4 reaches the cell surface. Our findings suggest that the specialized amino-terminal domains of other members of the src family of intracellular tyrosine kinases may also mediate transmembrane signaling via coupling to the cytoplasmic domains of specific transmembrane proteins. 相似文献

The CD4 and CD8 T cell surface antigens are associated with the internal membrane tyrosine-protein kinase p56lck 总被引:213,自引:0,他引:213
The CD4 and CD8 T cell antigens are thought to transduce an independent signal during the process of T cell activation. We report our evaluation of the possible involvement of the lymphocyte-specific tyrosine kinase p56lck in these transduction pathways. Our data demonstrate that p56lck is specifically modulated with either CD4 or CD8 following antibody-mediated cross-linking of these molecules and that a large fraction of the total cellular lck protein can be coimmunoprecipitated with these surface glycoproteins. These results suggest that p56lck is functionally and physically associated with CD4/CD8 in normal murine T lymphocytes and support the concept that an independent signal is transduced by the interaction of these surface molecules with major histocompatibility complex determinants. 相似文献
