Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Adaptor Protein 3BP2 Induces T Cell Receptor-Mediated Activation of Transcription Factor

Molecular adaptors/scaffolds have indispensable roles in the activation of lymphocytes. In this report, we have demonstrated the role of tyrosine phosphorylation of an adaptor protein 3BP2 (c-Abl-SH3 domain binding protein-2, also known as SH3BP2) in T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated activation of tran...

Description
Summary:Molecular adaptors/scaffolds have indispensable roles in the activation of lymphocytes. In this report, we have demonstrated the role of tyrosine phosphorylation of an adaptor protein 3BP2 (c-Abl-SH3 domain binding protein-2, also known as SH3BP2) in T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated activation of transcription factor. Short interfering RNA for 3BP2 suppresses the expression level of endogenous 3BP2 and inhibits TCR-mediated activation of interleukin (IL)-2 promoter and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) element. Engagement of TCR induces tyrosine phosphorylation and lipid raft translocation of 3BP2. The overexpression studies reveal that substitution of 3BP2-Tyr183, Tyr446, or Arg486 in the SH2 domain suppresses TCR-mediated activation of NFAT. Point mutations of 3BP2 cannot affect the translocation of 3BP2 into the lipid raft. Phosphorylation of Tyr183 is required for the interaction with Vav1, the guanine nucleotide exchanging factor of Rac1. In fact, overexpression of dominant-negative form of Rac1 inhibits TCR-mediated activation of NFAT. Phosphorylation of Tyr446 recruits the SH2 domain of Lck for the optimal activation of transcription factors. Furthermore, point mutation of Arg486 in the 3BP2-SH2 domain that couples ZAP-70 to LAT dramatically reduces NFAT activation. These results suggest that the site-directed functions of 3BP2 induce the activation of transcription factors.
