The adapter SLP-76 plays an essential role in Fc epsilon RI signaling, since SLP-76(-/-) bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) fail to degranulate and release interleukin-6 (IL-6) following Fc epsilon RI ligation. To define the role of SLP-76 domains and motifs in Fc epsilon RI signaling, SLP-76(-/-) BMMC were retrovirally transduced with SLP-76 and SLP-76 mutants. The SLP-76 N-terminal and Gads binding domains, but not the SH2 domain, were critical for Fc epsilon RI-mediated degranulation and IL-6 secretion, whereas all three domains are essential for T-cell proliferation following T-cell receptor (TCR) ligation. Unexpectedly, the three tyrosine residues in SLP-76 critical for TCR signaling, Y112, Y128, and Y145, were not essential for IL-6 secretion, but were required for degranulation and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Furthermore, a Y112/128F SLP-76 mutant, but not a Y145F mutant, strongly reconstituted mast cell degranulation, suggesting a critical role for Y145 in Fc epsilon RI-mediated exocytosis. These results point to important differences in the function of SLP-76 between T cells and mast cells. 相似文献

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 SLP-76, which contains three tyrosines that serve as docking sites for SH2 domain-containing proteins, and the central proline-rich region of SLP-76 have been well studied and are known to be important for both thymocyte selection and activation of peripheral T cells. Less is known about the function of the C-terminal SH2 domain of SLP-76. This region inducibly associates with ADAP and HPK1. Combining regulated deletion of endogenous SLP-76 with transgenic expression of a SLP-76 SH2 domain mutant, we demonstrate that the SLP-76 SH2 domain is required for peripheral T cell activation and positive selection of thymocytes, a function not previously attributed to this region. This domain is also important for T cell proliferation, IL-2 production, and phosphorylation of protein kinase D and IκB. ADAP-deficient T cells display similar, but in some cases less severe, defects despite phosphorylation of a negative regulatory site on SLP-76 by HPK1, a function that is lost in SLP-76 SH2 domain mutant T cells. 相似文献

Background
The cytosolic adaptor protein ADAP (adhesion and degranulation promoting adapter protein) is expressed by T cells, natural killer cells, myeloid cells and platelets. ADAP is involved in T-cell-receptor-mediated inside-out signaling, which leads to integrin activation, adhesion and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. However, little is known about the role of ADAP in myeloid cells. In the present study, we analyzed the function of ADAP in bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) from ADAP-deficient mice.Results
ADAP-deficient BMDCs showed almost normal levels of antigen uptake, adhesion, maturation, migration from the periphery to the draining lymph nodes, antigen-specific T-cell activation, and production of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-??. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the activation of signaling pathways after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation are not affected by the loss of ADAP. In contrast, ADAP-deficient BMDCs showed defects in CD11c-mediated cellular responses, with significantly diminished production of IL-6, TNF-?? and IL-10. Actin polymerization was enhanced after CD11c integrin stimulation.Conclusions
In summary, we propose that the adapter molecule ADAP is critical for selected CD11c integrin-mediated functions of dendritic cells. 相似文献4.

The adapter molecules SLP-76 and LAT play central roles in T cell activation by recruiting enzymes and other adapters into multiprotein complexes that coordinate highly regulated signal transduction pathways. While many of the associated proteins have been characterized, less is known concerning the mechanisms of assembly for these dynamic and potentially heterogeneous signaling complexes. Following T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation, SLP-76 is found in structures called microclusters, which contain many signaling complexes. Previous studies showed that a mutation to the SLP-76 C-terminal SH2 domain nearly abolished SLP-76 microclusters, suggesting that the SH2 domain facilitates incorporation of signaling complexes into microclusters. S. C. Bunnell, A. L. Singer, D. I. Hong, B. H. Jacque, M. S. Jordan, M. C. Seminario, V. A. Barr, G. A. Koretzky, and L. E. Samelson, Mol. Cell. Biol., 26:7155–7166, 2006). Using biophysical methods, we demonstrate that the adapter, ADAP, contains three binding sites for SLP-76, and that multipoint binding to ADAP fragments oligomerizes the SLP-76 SH2 domain in vitro. These results were complemented with confocal imaging and functional studies of cells expressing ADAP with various mutations. Our results demonstrate that all three binding sites are critical for SLP-76 microcluster assembly, but any combination of two sites will partially induce microclusters. These data support a model whereby multipoint binding of SLP-76 to ADAP facilitates the assembly of SLP-76 microclusters. This model has implications for the regulation of SLP-76 and LAT microclusters and, as a result, T cell signaling. 相似文献

The adapter protein ADAP (FYB/SLAP-130) provides a critical link between T cell receptor (TCR) signaling and cell adhesion via the activation of integrins. The C-terminal 70 residues of ADAP show homology to SH3 domains; however, conserved residues of the fold are absent. An alignment and annotation of this domain has therefore been elusive. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of the ADAP C-terminal domain by NMR spectroscopy and show that it represents an altered SH3 domain fold. An N-terminal, amphipathic helix makes extensive contacts to residues of the regular SH3 domain fold, and thereby a composite surface with unusual surface properties is created. We propose this SH3 domain variant to be classified as a helically extended SH3 domain (hSH3 domain) and show that the ADAP-hSH3 domain can no longer bind conventional proline-rich peptides. 相似文献

SH3 domains represent versatile scaffolds within eukaryotic cells by targeting proline-rich sequences within intracellular proteins. More recently, binding of SH3 domains to unusual peptide motifs, folded proteins or lipids has been reported. Here we show that the newly defined hSH3 domains of immune cell adapter proteins bind lipid membranes with distinct affinities. The interaction of the hSH3 domains of adhesion and degranulation promoting adapter protein (ADAP) and PRAM-1 (Promyelocytic-Retinoic acid receptor alpha target gene encoding an Adaptor Molecule-1), with phosphatidylcholine-containing liposomes is observed upon incorporation of phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphoinositides (PIs) into the membrane bilayer. Mechanistically we show that stable association of the N-terminal, amphipathic helix with the beta-sheet scaffold favours lipid binding and that the interaction with PI(4,5)P(2)-containing liposomes is consistent with a single-site, non-cooperative binding mechanism. Functional investigations indicate that deletion of both amphipathic helices of the hSH3 domains reduces the ability of ADAP to enhance adhesion and migration in stimulated T cells. 相似文献

Fyn is a Src kinase known to have an essential role in mast cell degranulation induced following aggregation of the high affinity IgE-receptor. Although Fyn possesses SH2 and SH3 protein binding domains, the molecules that interact with Fyn have not been characterized in mast cells. We thus analyzed Fyn-binding proteins in MC/9 mast cells to explore the Fyn-mediated signaling pathway. On mass spectrometric analysis of proteins binding to the SH2 and SH3 domains of Fyn, we identified six proteins that bind to Fyn including vimentin, pyruvate kinase, p62 ras-GAP associated phosphoprotein, SLP-76, HS-1, and FYB. Among these proteins, vimentin and pyruvate kinase have not been shown to bind to Fyn. After IgE-receptor mediated stimulation, binding of vimentin to Fyn was increased; and this interaction was via binding to the SH2, but not the SH3, domain of Fyn. Mast cells from vimentin-deficient mice showed enhanced mediator release and tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins including NTAL and LAT. The observation that vimentin and pyruvate kinase bind to Fyn provides additional insight into Fyn-mediated signaling pathways, and suggests a critical role for Fyn in mast cell degranulation in interacting with both cytosolic and structural proteins. 相似文献

T cell antigen receptor (TCR) activation triggers profound changes in the actin cytoskeleton. In addition to controlling cellular shape and polarity, this process regulates vital T cell responses, such as T cell adhesion, motility, and proliferation. These depend on the recruitment of the signaling proteins Nck and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) to the site of TCR activation and on the functional properties of the adapter proteins linker for activation of T cells (LAT) and SH2-domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP76). We now demonstrate that Nck is necessary but insufficient for the recruitment of WASp. We show that two pathways lead to SLP76-dependent actin rearrangement. One requires the SLP76 acidic domain, crucial to association with the Nck SH2 domain, and another requires the SLP76 SH2 domain, essential for interaction with the adhesion- and degranulation-promoting adapter protein ADAP. Functional cooperation between Nck and ADAP mediates SLP76-WASp interactions and actin rearrangement. We also reveal the molecular mechanism linking ADAP to actin reorganization. 相似文献

Receptor-stimulated generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulates signal transduction, although the mechanism(s) is unclear. One potential basis is the reversible oxidation of the active site cysteine of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Here, we show that activation of the antigen receptor of T cells (TCR), which induces production of ROS, induces transient inactivation of the SH2 domain-containing PTP, SHP-2, but not the homologous SHP-1. SHP-2 is recruited to the LAT-Gads-SLP-76 complex and directly regulates the phosphorylation of key signaling proteins Vav1 and ADAP. Furthermore, the association of ADAP with the adapter SLP-76 is regulated by SHP-2 in a redox-dependent manner. The data indicate that TCR-mediated ROS generation leads to SHP-2 oxidation, which promotes T-cell adhesion through effects on an SLP-76-dependent signaling pathway to integrin activation. 相似文献

We developed a confocal real-time imaging approach that allows direct observation of the subcellular localization pattern of proteins involved in proximal FcepsilonRI signaling in RBL cells and primary bone marrow-derived mast cells. The adaptor protein Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing leukocyte phosphoprotein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) is critical for FcepsilonRI-induced calcium flux, degranulation, and cytokine secretion. In this study, we imaged SLP-76 and found it in the cytosol of unstimulated cells. Upon FcepsilonRI cross-linking, SLP-76 translocates to the cell membrane, forming clusters that colocalize with the FcepsilonRI, the tyrosine kinase Syk, the adaptor LAT, and phosphotyrosine. The disruption of the SLP-76 interaction with its constitutive binding partner, Gads, through the mutation of SLP-76 or the expression of the Gads-binding region of SLP-76, inhibits the translocation and clustering of SLP-76, suggesting that the interaction of SLP-76 with Gads is critical for appropriate subcellular localization of SLP-76. We further demonstrated that the expression of the Gads-binding region of SLP-76 in bone marrow-derived mast cells inhibits FcepsilonRI-induced calcium flux, degranulation, and cytokine secretion. These studies revealed, for the first time, that SLP-76 forms signaling clusters following FcepsilonRI stimulation and demonstrated that the Gads-binding region of SLP-76 regulates clustering of SLP-76 and FcepsilonRI-induced mast cell responses. 相似文献

Platelet adhesion to fibrinogen through integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) triggers actin rearrangements and cell spreading. Mice deficient in the SLP-76 adapter molecule bleed excessively, and their platelets spread poorly on fibrinogen. Here we used human platelets and a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell expression system to better define the role of SLP-76 in alpha(IIb)beta(3) signaling. CHO cell adhesion to fibrinogen required alpha(IIb)beta(3) and stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of SLP-76. SLP-76 phosphorylation required coexpression of Syk tyrosine kinase and stimulated association of SLP-76 with the adapter, Nck, and with the Rac exchange factor, Vav1. SLP-76 expression increased lamellipodia formation induced by Syk and Vav1 in adherent CHO cells (p < 0.001). Although lamellipodia formation requires Rac, SLP-76 functioned downstream of Rac by potentiating adhesion-dependent activation of PAK kinase (p < 0.001), a Rac effector that associates with Nck. In platelets, adhesion to fibrinogen stimulated the association of SLP-76 with the SLAP-130 adapter and with VASP, a SLAP-130 binding partner implicated in actin reorganization. Furthermore, SLAP-130 colocalized with VASP at the periphery of spread platelets. Thus, SLP-76 functions to relay signals from alpha(IIb)beta(3) to effectors of cytoskeletal reorganization. Therefore, deficient recruitment of specific adapters and effectors to sites of adhesion may explain the integrin phenotype of SLP-76(-/-) platelets. 相似文献

Cutting edge: a novel function for the SLAP-130/FYB adapter protein in beta 1 integrin signaling and T lymphocyte migration 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The role of integrin-mediated signaling events in T cell function remains incompletely characterized. We report here that alpha4beta1 integrin stimulation of H9 T cells and normal human T cell blasts results in rapid and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of the adapter protein, SH2 domain-containing 76-kDa protein (SLP-76)-associated phosphoprotein of 130 kDa (SLAP-130)/FYB at levels comparable to those observed following TCR stimulation. Stimulation of T cells via the alpha4beta1 integrin enhances the association of tyrosine phosphorylated SLAP-130/FYB with the SH2 domain of the src tyrosine kinase p59fyn. Activation of normal T cells, but not H9 T cells, via alpha4beta1 leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of SLP-76 as well as SLAP-130/FYB. Overexpression of SLAP-130/FYB in normal T cells enhances T cell migration through fibronectin-coated filters in response to the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1alpha. These results identify SLAP-130/FYB as a new tyrosine phosphorylated substrate in beta1 integrin signaling and suggest a novel function for SLAP-130/FYB in regulating T lymphocyte motility. 相似文献

Adapter proteins such as Grb2 play a central role in the formation of signaling complexes through their association with multiple protein binding partners. These interactions are mediated by specialized domains such as the well-characterized Src homology SH2 and SH3 motifs. Using yeast three-hybrid technology, we have identified a novel adapter protein, expressed predominantly in T lymphocytes, that associates with the activated form of the costimulatory receptor, CD28. The protein is a member of the Grb2 family of adapter proteins and contains an SH3-SH2-SH3 domain structure. A unique glutamine/proline-rich domain (insert domain) of unknown function is situated between the SH2 and N-terminal SH3 domains. We term this protein GRID for Grb2-related protein with insert domain. GRID coimmunoprecipitates with CD28 from Jurkat cell lysates following activation of CD28. Using mutants of CD28 and GRID, we demonstrate that interaction between the proteins is dependent on phosphorylation of CD28 at tyrosine 173 and integrity of the GRID SH2 domain, although there are also subsidiary stabilizing contacts between the PXXP motifs of CD28 and the GRID C-terminal SH3 domain. In addition to CD28, GRID interacts with a number of other T cell signaling proteins, including SLP-76 (SH2 domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa), p62dok, and RACK-1 (receptor for activated protein kinase C-1). These findings suggest that GRID functions as an adapter protein in the CD28-mediated costimulatory pathway in T cells. 相似文献

The adapter protein SH2 domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) is an essential mediator of signaling from the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). We report here that SLP-76 also mediates signaling downstream of integrins in T cells and that SLP-76-deficient T cells fail to support adhesion to integrin ligands. In response to both TCR and integrin stimulation, SLP-76 relocalizes to surface microclusters that colocalize with phosphorylated signaling proteins. Disruption of SLP-76 recruitment to the protein named LAT (linker for activation of T cells) inhibits SLP-76 clustering downstream of the TCR but not downstream of integrins. Conversely, an SLP-76 mutant unable to bind ADAP (adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein) forms clusters following TCR but not integrin engagement and fails to support T-cell adhesion to integrin ligands. These findings demonstrate that SLP-76 relocalizes to integrin-initiated signaling complexes by a mechanism different from that employed during TCR signaling and that SLP-76 relocalization corresponds to SLP-76-dependent integrin function in T cells.Coordinated signals from the extracellular environment direct T-cell functions, including cell trafficking and antigen-driven cell activation. One way that T cells make contact with their environment is through integrins expressed on the cell surface. Integrins are heterodimeric proteins that bind adhesion molecules in the extracellular matrix and on the surface of other cells (26). The predominant integrins expressed on T cells are leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1 [αLβ2]) and very late antigen 4 (VLA-4 [α4β1]). By associating with both extracellular adhesion molecules and the cytoskeleton, integrins bridge the cell exterior and interior. Integrin function is critical for T-cell development, trafficking through the vasculature and tissues, the formation of conjugates with antigen-presenting cells, T-cell activation, and directed cytokine secretion (18, 38, 43, 47).Extensive studies of proximal signaling downstream of the engaged T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) have provided a model of how T cells respond to extracellular cues (44). TCR stimulation triggers the activation of the protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) Lck and ζ-associated protein of 70 kDa (ZAP-70), resulting in the phosphorylation of the transmembrane adapter protein linker for activation of T cells (LAT). Another critical adapter protein, SH2 domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76), is recruited to phosphorylated LAT via its binding partner Grb2-related adapter downstream of Shc (Gads) (42). Together, SLP-76 and LAT form a multimolecular signaling complex at the cell membrane, resulting in activation of effector proteins and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. The dynamic relocalization of SLP-76 to TCR-initiated surface signaling complexes has been characterized using biochemical and live cell imaging approaches (7, 42, 51). In these studies, the TCR-induced recruitment of SLP-76 to microclusters coincident with the presence of PTKs and other signaling proteins was visualized in real time. As these reports show, SLP-76 microclusters arise at the periphery of the spreading T cell and then migrate inward (5) in a process shown recently to be modulated by TCR coligation with integrins (5, 35).Integrins in hematopoietic cells are maintained in an inactive conformation and possess low affinity for their ligands (40). “Inside-out” signals originating at either the TCR or chemokine receptors upregulate integrin affinity (47). Integrins in the active conformation then bind adhesion molecule ligands and initiate “outside-in” signals, resulting in altered cell morphology and enhanced adhesive and proliferative responses (reviewed in reference 3). Work to elucidate outside-in signaling pathways in various hematopoietic lineages has uncovered a role for PTKs as well as adapter proteins downstream of engaged integrins. Src and Syk family kinases have been shown to initiate signals from stimulated integrins, phosphorylating target adapter proteins (including SLP-76), and the adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein (ADAP) (2, 15, 17, 49). SLP-76 and ADAP have also been found to organize integrin signals in myeloid lineages and platelets and to contribute to integrin-dependent cell functions (20, 22, 34, 46).While considerable progress has been made in defining how PTKs and adapters organize signaling from the TCR, much less is understood about how these molecules function downstream of integrins in T cells. Although a number of recent elegant papers have suggested that the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) and integrin second-messenger pathways intersect at a point very close to the membrane, how signals are then differentiated by the cell remains unclear (30, 52, 53). For this report, we made use of an inducible in vivo model to control SLP-76 expression and test the role of this adapter protein in integrin-initiated signaling in T cells. Our findings demonstrate an essential role for SLP-76 in T-cell integrin function that correlates with the relocalization of SLP-76 to signaling microclusters initiated by integrin ligation. Interestingly, the requirements for SLP-76 partner proteins and the domains of SLP-76 that they bind are distinct with respect to SLP-76 functions downstream of integrins versus the TCR, suggesting that adapter proteins mediate both overlapping and distinct signaling pathways from these receptors. 相似文献

TCR stimulation leads to an increase in cellular adhesion among other outcomes. The adhesion and degranulation promoting adapter protein (ADAP) is known to be rapidly phosphorylated after T cell stimulation and relays the TCR signal to adhesion molecules of the integrin family. While three tyrosine phosphorylation sites have been characterized biochemically, the binding capabilities and associated functions of several other potential phosphotyrosine motifs remain unclear. Here, we utilize in vitro phosphorylation and mass spectrometry to map novel phosphotyrosine sites in the C-terminal part of human ADAP (486–783). Individual tyrosines were then mutated to phenylalanine and their relevance for cellular adhesion and migration was tested experimentally. Functionally important tyrosine residues include two sites within the folded hSH3 domains of ADAP and two at the C-terminus. Furthermore, using a peptide pulldown approach in combination with stable isotope labeling in cell culture (SILAC) we identified SLP-76, PLCγ, PIK3R1, Nck, CRK, Gads, and RasGAP as phospho-dependent binding partners of a central YDDV motif of ADAP. The phosphorylation-dependent interaction between ADAP and Nck was confirmed by yeast two-hybrid analysis, immunoprecipitation and binary pulldown experiments, indicating that ADAP directly links integrins to modulators of the cytoskeleton independent of SLP-76. 相似文献

Scaffolding adapter Grb2-associated binder 2 requires Syk to transmit signals from FcepsilonRI 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Scaffolding adapter Grb2-associated binder 2 (Gab2) is a key component of FcepsilonRI signaling in mast cells, required for the activation of PI3K. To understand how Gab2 is activated in FcepsilonRI signaling, we asked which protein tyrosine kinase is required for Gab2 phosphorylation. We found that Gab2 tyrosyl phosphorylation requires Lyn and Syk. In agreement with published results, we found that Fyn also contributes to Gab2 tyrosyl phosphorylation. However, Syk activation is defective in Fyn(-/-) mast cells, suggesting that Syk is the proximal kinase responsible for Gab2 tyrosyl phosphorylation. Then, we asked which domains in Gab2 are required for Gab2 tyrosyl phosphorylation. We found that the Grb2-Src homology 3 (SH3) binding sites are required for, whereas the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain contributes to, Gab2 tyrosyl phosphorylation. Using a protein/lipid overlay assay, we determined that the Gab2 PH domain preferentially binds the PI3K lipid products, PI3, 4,5P3 and PI3, 4P2. Furthermore, the Grb2-SH3 binding sites and PH domain binding to PI3K lipid products are required for Gab2 function in FcepsilonRI-evoked degranulation and Akt activation. Our data strongly suggest a model for Gab2 action in FcepsilonRI signaling. The Grb2 SH3 binding sites play a critical role in bringing Gab2 to FcepsilonRI, whereupon Gab2 becomes tyrosyl-phosphorylated in a Syk-dependent fashion. Phosphorylated Gab2 results in recruitment and activation of PI3K, whose lipid products bind the PH domain of Gab2 and acts in positive feedback loop for sustained PI3K recruitment and phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate production, required for FcepsilonRI-evoked degranulation of mast cells. 相似文献

T cell-specific adapter (TSAd) protein and adapter protein in lymphocytes of unknown function (ALX) are two related Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing signaling adapter molecules that have both been shown to regulate TCR signal transduction in T cells. TSAd is required for normal TCR-induced synthesis of IL-2 and other cytokines in T cells and acts at least in part by promoting activation of the LCK protein tyrosine kinase at the outset of the TCR signaling cascade. By contrast, ALX functions as a negative-regulator of TCR-induced IL-2 synthesis through as yet undetermined mechanisms. In this study, we report a novel T cell-expressed adapter protein named SH2D4A that contains an SH2 domain that is highly homologous to the TSAd protein and ALX SH2 domains and that shares other structural features with these adapters. To examine the function of SH2D4A in T cells we produced SH2D4A-deficient mice by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. T cell development, homeostasis, proliferation, and function were all found to be normal in these mice. Furthermore, knockdown of SH2D4A expression in human T cells did not impact upon their function. We conclude that in contrast to TSAd and ALX proteins, SH2D4A is dispensable for TCR signal transduction in T cells. 相似文献

The hematopoietic-specific adaptor protein gads functions in T-cell signaling via interactions with the SLP-76 and LAT adaptors 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
BACKGROUND: The adaptor protein Gads is a Grb2-related protein originally identified on the basis of its interaction with the tyrosine-phosphorylated form of the docking protein Shc. Gads protein expression is restricted to hematopoietic tissues and cell lines. Gads contains a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, which has previously been shown to have a similar binding specificity to that of Grb2. Gads also possesses two SH3 domains, but these have a distinct binding specificity to those of Grb2, as Gads does not bind to known Grb2 SH3 domain targets. Here, we investigated whether Gads is involved in T-cell signaling. RESULTS: We found that Gads is highly expressed in T cells and that the SLP-76 adaptor protein is a major Gads-associated protein in vivo. The constitutive interaction between Gads and SLP-76 was mediated by the carboxy-terminal SH3 domain of Gads and a 20 amino-acid proline-rich region in SLP-76. Gads also coimmunoprecipitated the tyrosine-phosphorylated form of the linker for activated T cells (LAT) adaptor protein following cross-linking of the T-cell receptor; this interaction was mediated by the Gads SH2 domain. Overexpression of Gads and SLP-76 resulted in a synergistic augmentation of T-cell signaling, as measured by activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), and this cooperation required a functional Gads SH2 domain. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that Gads plays an important role in T-cell signaling via its association with SLP-76 and LAT. Gads may promote cross-talk between the LAT and SLP-76 signaling complexes, thereby coupling membrane-proximal events to downstream signaling pathways. 相似文献
