title: Interaction between CD45-AP and protein-tyrosine kinases involved in T cell receptor signaling.
abstract: CD45-AP associates specifically with CD45, a protein-tyrosine phosphatase essential for antigen receptor-mediated signal transduction. CD45 modulates the activity of Src family protein-tyrosine kinases involved at the onset of antigen receptor-mediated signaling by dephosphorylating their regulatory tyrosyl residues. We have shown that lymphocyte responses to antigen receptor stimulation are impaired in CD45-AP-null mice. To examine the possibility that CD45-AP coordinates the interaction between CD45 and its substrates, we investigated the associations of CD45-AP with several protein-tyrosine kinases. Endogenous CD45-AP coimmunoprecipitated with Lck and ZAP-70 in both CD45-positive T cells and their CD45-negative variants after stimulation by antigen receptor ligation. Concomitantly, CD45 coimmunoprecipitated with Lck and ZAP-70 after T cell receptor-mediated stimulation of CD45-positive cells. Recombinant CD45-AP exhibited specific binding to Lck and ZAP-70 protein-tyrosine kinases, but not to Fyn or Csk, in lysates of both CD45-positive and -negative T cells. Specific interactions were demonstrated between the respective recombinant proteins as well. These results demonstrate that CD45-AP associates directly and selectively with Lck and ZAP-70 in response to T cell receptor-mediated stimulation. The associations of CD45-AP with Lck and ZAP-70 may mediate the functional interactions of these kinases with CD45 during antigen receptor stimulation.
