Stimulation of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of cellular proteins, including phospholipase C (PLC) gamma 1 and the TCR zeta chain. We describe here a 70-kDa tyrosine phosphoprotein (ZAP-70) that associates with zeta within 15 sec following TCR stimulation. The phosphorylation of ZAP-70 and its association with zeta is independent of the other TCR chains since stimulation of a functional CD8/zeta chimeric receptor in a TCR-negative T cell leads to coprecipitation of ZAP-70 with the chimeric protein. In a Jurkat cell expressing the TCR and the CD8/zeta chimeric protein, tyrosine phosphorylation and association of ZAP-70 occurs exclusively with the stimulated receptor complex. In addition, a tyrosine kinase that does not appear to be fyn associates with the cytoplasmic domain of zeta and phosphorylates zeta and ZAP-70 in vitro.

Ligation of the Fc gamma R on natural killer (NK) cells results in the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple substrates critical for intracellular signaling and activation of NK cell effector functions. However, it remains unclear which nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinases (PTK) participate in this process. In this report we demonstrate that Fc gamma R ligation induced the tyrosine phosphorylation and increased the catalytic activities of both syk family PTKs, ZAP-70, and syk. The phosphorylation of ZAP-70 and syk was enhanced markedly by overexpression of wild-type lck but not by a kinase-inactive mutant, suggesting that early Fc gamma R-initiated activation of lck results in the subsequent regulation of syk family PTKs. The regulatory interplay between src and syk family PTKs was emphasized further by the observation that lck overexpression enhanced the association of ZAP-70 with the zeta chain of the Fc gamma R complex. Additional analyses indicated that lck induced the subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 2. Interestingly, the regulatory effects of lck on ZAP-70, syk, and PLC-gamma 2 could not be replaced by overexpression of either fyn or src, demonstrating a selective role for lck in effectively coupling Fc gamma R stimulation to critical downstream signaling events. Taken together, our results suggest not only that Fc gamma R stimulation on NK cells is coupled to the intracellular activation of both ZAP-70 and syk, but that the src family member, lck, can selectively regulate this tyrosine kinase cascade.

Signaling by the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) involves both phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 1 and p21ras activation. While failing to induce Shc/Grb2 association, ligation of the TCR/CD3 receptor in Jurkat T-cells induced hSos1-Grb2 complexes. In addition to hSos1, Grb2 participates in the formation of a tyrosine phosphoprotein complex that includes 145-, 95-, 70-, 54-, and 36-38-kDa proteins. p145 was identified as PLC-gamma 1 and p70 as the protein tyrosine kinase, ZAP-70. Although of the same molecular weight, p95 was not recognized by an anti-serum to p95 Vav. The SH2 domains of Grb2 and PLC-gamma 1 were required for the formation of this protein complex. In anti-CD3-treated cells, Grb2 redistributed from the cytosol to a particulate cell compartment along with p36/p38, ZAP-70, and PLC-gamma 1. Part of the Grb2 complex associated with the particulate compartment could be extracted with Nonidet P-40, while the rest was Nonidet P-40 insoluble. In both the detergent-soluble and -insoluble fractions, Grb2 coimmunoprecipitated with the zeta-chain of the TCR. Taken together, these results indicate that anti-CD3 induces Grb2-hSos1-PLC-gamma 1-p36/p38-ZAP70 complexes, which localize in the vicinity of TCR-zeta.

Stimulation of Jurkat E6 cells with anti-CD3 antibody results in a characteristic rise in [Ca2+]i which is due to both the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and the entry of external Ca2+. Individual components of the [Ca2+]i increase were investigated by measuring intracellular Ca2+ release in the absence of external Ca2+ and determining influx of bivalent cations by following the entry of Mn2+. The increase in [Ca2+]i induced by anti-CD3 antibody in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+ could be inhibited by the non-selective kinase inhibitor staurosporine, which also inhibits anti-CD3-stimulated phospholipase C activity. Staurosporine also inhibits the influx of bivalent cations induced by anti-CD3 antibody, but not that induced by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores using thapsigargin. The effect of staurosporine was compared with that of Ro 31-8425, a potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). Ro 31-8425, at concentrations up to 10 microM, has no inhibitory effect on the anti-CD3 antibody-induced [Ca2+]i increase or phospholipase C activity. These studies are consistent with the concept that augmentation of [Ca2+]i by stimulated T-cell receptors requires activation of a kinase, probably a tyrosine kinase such as p56lck, ZAP-70 or p59fyn, and is independent of PKC. Phorbol esters inhibit the anti-CD3-stimulated [Ca2+]i increase and phospholipase C activity, showing that this can be negatively regulated by PKC. A small potentiation of the anti-CD3 antibody-induced [Ca2+]i rise in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ was detected in the presence of Ro 31-8425; this suggests that T-cell-receptor ligation can also limit the increase in [Ca2+]i via PKC activation.

Protein tyrosine kinase p59fyn is associated with the TCR-CD3 complex and is suggested to play a role in T cell activation. To determine the molecular mechanism of p59fyn-mediated signal transduction in T cell activation, we established murine T cell hybridoma lines that expressed an elevated amount of wild-type or mutant fyns. Clones that expressed high levels of normal p59fyn and active p59fyn, encoded by wild-type and f-14 mutant fyn respectively, showed enhanced IL-2 production upon stimulation by anti-CD3 antibodies or natural antigen. On the other hand, clones that expressed kinase negative p59fyn and p59fyn with an SH2 (Src-homology 2) deletion encoded by t-1 mutant fyn showed little induction of IL-2 production upon stimulation. These data suggest that p59fyn is important in T cell signaling and that the SH2 sequence plays a critical role in the reaction. Induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins upon antigenic stimulation was augmented similarly in the cells that respectively expressed wild-type and f-14 mutant fyns at elevated levels. The proteins that became highly tyrosine-phosphorylated included phospholipase C (PLC-gamma 1), p95vav, ZAP-70, the MAP kinase, CD3 zeta and unidentified proteins of 120, 100 and 80 kDa. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the 120, 95 and 68 kDa proteins associated with PLC-gamma 1 was also observed in these cells upon stimulation. In contrast, only the 100 kDa protein and the MAP kinase were increasingly tyrosine phosphorylated in the antigen-stimulated cells expressing t-1 fyn. These data suggest that PLC-gamma 1, PLC-gamma 1 associated molecules, p95vav, the 80 kDa protein, ZAP-70 and the CD3 zeta chain may be substrates of p59fyn or of other tyrosine kinases regulated by p59fyn and be important in T cell signaling.

Melanotransferrin, also called p97, is a cell surface glycoprotein which was first described as a marker antigen for human melanoma cells. Although p97 has a striking structural similarity to human serum transferrin and lactoferrin, its function has not yet been determined. One feature that distinguishes p97 from the other members of the transferrin family is the presence of a stretch of 24 hydrophobic amino acids at the C terminus, previously assumed to form a proteinacious transmembrane domain. In this study, sensitivity to bacterial phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, biosynthetic labeling with [3H]ethanolamine, and partitioning in Triton X-114 are used to establish that p97 is expressed at the cell surface as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein. In addition, to gain insight into the intracellular transport of p97, biosynthetic transport studies were performed on a melanoma cell line. These studies resulted in the identification of an additional form of p97 which is found in the medium and which likely does not originate from an alternatively spliced form of the p97 mRNA. These findings, together with our recent observation of the co-localization of p97 and the transferrin receptor in brain capillary endothelium (W. A. Jefferies, M. R. Food, R. Gabathuler, S. Rothenberger, T. Yamada, and P. L. McGeer, manuscript submitted) raise important questions about the function of the two forms of p97 detected and the possible involvement of this protein in a cellular iron uptake mechanism that is independent from the transferrin/transferrin receptor system.

The CD16: zeta: gamma receptor complex allows natural killer (NK) cells to recognize and eliminate antibody-coated target cells. Whereas the ectodomain of CD16 is the receptor for Fc gamma domains of immunoglobulins, disulfide-linked homo- and heterodimers composed of zeta and gamma are required for the cell surface expression, and signal transduction properties of the complex. Engagement of CD16 activates the tyrosine kinase pathway, which induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of several substrates, including the zeta subunit and the phospholipase C gamma-1 and gamma-2 isoforms. Here we show that CD16 stimulation of either peripheral blood NK cells, leukemic NK cells, or Jurkat transformants expressing a CD16: zeta: gamma receptor complex, results in the tyrosine phosphorylation of a 70 kDa zeta-associated protein (pp70). Similarly, a 70-kDa zeta-associated phosphoprotein in T cells has been shown to be a tyrosine kinase (ZAP-70). Peptide mapping analysis indicates that the 70-kDa zeta-associated phosphoproteins from T cells and NK cells are structurally indistinguishable. We conclude that the CD16: zeta: gamma complex may use a ZAP-70-related non-receptor tyrosine kinase, in the CD16 signaling cascade leading to NK cell activation.

Engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR).CD3 complex results in the induction of multiple intracellular events, with protein tyrosine kinases playing a pivotal role in their initiation. Biochemical studies also exist suggesting the involvement of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins); however, the functional consequence of this participation in TCR.CD3-mediated signaling is unresolved. Here, we report TCR.CD3-mediated guanine nucleotide exchange among the 42-kDa G protein alpha subunits of the G alpha q/11 family, their physical association with CD3 epsilon, and the G alpha 11-dependent activation of phospholipase C beta. Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, however, abrogate TCR.CD3-mediated G protein activation. Quite interesting is the observation that cells transfected with a function-deficient mutant of G alpha 11 display diminished tyrosine phosphorylation of TCR.CD3 zeta and epsilon chains, as well as ZAP-70, upon anti-CD3 antibody triggering. These data indicate the involvement of the G alpha q/11 family in TCR.CD3 signaling at a step proximal to the receptor and suggest a reciprocal regulation between tyrosine kinases and G proteins in T cells.

Two families of tyrosine kinases, the Src and Syk families, are required for T-cell receptor activation. While the Src kinases are responsible for phosphorylation of receptor-encoded signaling motifs and for up-regulation of ZAP-70 activity, the downstream substrates of ZAP-70 are unknown. Evidence is presented herein that the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76) is a substrate of ZAP-70. Phosphorylation of SLP-76 is diminished in T cells that express a catalytically inactive ZAP-70. Moreover, SLP-76 is preferentially phosphorylated by ZAP-70 in vitro and in heterologous cellular systems. In T cells, overexpression of wild-type SLP-76 results in a hyperactive receptor, while expression of a SLP-76 molecule that is unable to be tyrosine-phosphorylated attenuates receptor function. In addition, the SH2 domain of SLP-76 is required for T-cell receptor function, although its role is independent of the ability of SLP-76 to undergo tyrosine phosphorylation. As SLP-76 interacts with both Grb2 and phospholipase C-gamma1, these data indicate that phosphorylation of SLP-76 by ZAP-70 provides an important functional link between the T-cell receptor and activation of ras and calcium pathways.

Ligation of MHC class I-recognizing receptors on NK cells dramatically modulates their secretory and cytotoxic function. This study focuses on characterizing key signaling events regulating these activities after ligation of the C-type lectin superfamily member, CD94. We isolated separate clonal populations of human NK cells in which ligation of CD94 (kp43) either triggered cell-mediated cytotoxicity (group A clones) or potently inhibited NK cell activation (group B clones). We then evaluated the proximal signaling events that regulate these alternative responses. CD94 stimulation of group A clones induced the rapid activation of intracellular protein tyrosine kinases (i.e., lck and ZAP-70), phospholipase C, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. In contrast, CD94 ligation on group B clones had none of the above noted effects and instead inhibited the FcR-induced tyrosine phosphorylations of ZAP-70 and phospholipase C-gamma 2, the formation of phospho-zeta/ZAP-70 complexes, and the release of inositol phosphates. These results define distinct proximal signaling events initiated after CD94 ligation and suggest that clonotypic differences in signaling generate fundamentally different NK cell-mediated responses.
