The regulation of TCR signaling (Figure 3D), in contrast with previous

The regulation of TCR signaling (Figure 3D), in contrast with previous works, which have reported that deletion of these Enasidenib site domains in CSK abrogates TCR signaling [7,30,31]. It can be argued that point mutation, in contrast to domain deletion, is expected to produce a lower Erastin site effect in the overall structure of the protein while affecting ligand binding. In fact, another study pointed that CSK SH3 and SH2 domains are critical for CSK to show full kinase activity [32]; and the recent structural data on the Src/CSK complex shows that SH3 and SH2 CSK domains are not involved in Src recognition by CSK [33]. The role of CSK SH2 domain in the negative regulation of TCR signaling is controversial because despite being implicated in CSK recruitment to the plasma membrane through the association with PAG/ Cbp, as judged from a flurry of biochemical data; however, knockout mice for PAG/Cbp showed no alteration in T cellRegulation of TCR Signaling by LYP/CSK ComplexRegulation of TCR Signaling by LYP/CSK ComplexFigure 5. LYP is phosphorylated in tyrosine. A, Lysates of PBLs stimulated with Abs against CD3 and CD28 molecules were subjected to IP with anti-LYPAb and immunoblotted with anti-phospho-Y Ab 4G10 to detect LYP Y-phosphorylation. After stripping, the membrane was probed with antiLYP Ab to verify equal loading of LYP. Zap70 phosphorylation with anti-Phospho-Y319 was tested to check activation of the cells. The blot showing LYP Tyr phosphorylation (P-Y) was measured by densitometry and the data were expressed as arbitrary units under the blot. B, Lysates of Jurkat cells transfected with myc-LYPR-DA and the indicated kinases were subjected to IP to detect Lyp Y-phosphorylation as in A. Expression of the kinases transfected was detected by Western blot with anti-HA antibody, where HA was present, or with specific antibodies for the untagged kinases. C, LYP Y-phoshophorylation was studied in different Jurkat derived cell lines deficient in LCK (JCaM1.6) and Zap70 (P116) for comparison with Jurkat parental cells. Phosphorylation of endogenous LYP after IP was detected as aforementioned. D, In vitro phosphorylation of myc-LYP-RDA by recombinant LCK, LYP was immunoprecipitated from HEK293 transfected cells and active recombinant LCK was added to the beads along with ATP and the kinase buffer. The reaction was incubated at 30uC for 30 min. and LYP phosphorylation was detected as before. E, HEK293 cells were transfected with several myc-LYPR-DA Tyr to Phe mutants along with LCK. Phosphorylation of LYP was detected by IB with 4G10 Ab after IP of LYP. F, Lysates of Jurkat cells transfected with myc-LYPR-DA or myc-LYPW-DA along with LCK were subjected to IP and phosphorylation was detected as before. G, Activation of a luciferase reporter gene driven by the IL-2 minimal promoter in Jurkat cells cotransfected with different LYP plasmids, as indicated. The insert shows the expression of LYP proteins by IB. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0054569.gactivation and development [34,35]. The same was true for LIME, another membrane adaptor related to PAG that interacts with CSK by a similar mechanism [36]. The regulatory function of LYP on TCR signaling is well documented. However, the consequences of the R620W SNP for T cell function remain controversial. Initially, it was proposed that LYPW was a gain-of-function variant of this PTP [13]. The gain of function of LYPW has been mainly ascribed to the initial steps of antigen signaling in T cells, being less clear at later.The regulation of TCR signaling (Figure 3D), in contrast with previous works, which have reported that deletion of these domains in CSK abrogates TCR signaling [7,30,31].
