Through studies conducted in T cells overexpressing isolated SH2 domains from Grb2 or Shc, the authors conclude that Grb2, but not Shc, is critical for TCR signaling.

Shc contains two Grb2 binding sites needed for efficient formation of complexes with SOS in B lymphocytes. of special interest Mol Cell Biol. 17:1997;4087-4095 This study presents evidence that B-cell receptor-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc results in Shc/Grb2 association, and that two tyrosine residues on Shc are required for the Grb2/Shc binding. The authors propose that the Shc/Grb2 complex provides a model mechanism for stabilization of Grb2/Sos association.

Differential regulation of activation-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and recruitment of SLP-76 to Vav by distinct isoforms of the CD45 protein-tyrosine phosphatase. of special interest J Biol Chem. 271:1996;22225-22230 This study examines tyrosine phosphorylation and physical association of SLP-76 and p95Vav in Jurkat clones expressing distinct isoforms of CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase. After TCR stimulation, Jurkat cells expressing the highest molecular weight isoform of CD45 show enhanced SLP-76 tyrosine phosphorylation and SLP-76-Vav association compared to cells expressing the lowest molecular weight CD45 isoform. Results suggest that CD45 isoform expression correlates with TCR-mediated association between SLP-76 and Vav.

Tuosto L, Michel F, Acuto O. p95vav associates with tyrosine-phosphorylated SLP-76 in antigen-stimulated T cells. of special interest J Exp Med. 184:1996;1161-1166 This paper shows that stimulation of a T cell hybridoma with antigen-presenting cells induces association of p95Vav with phosphorylated SLP-76. Further, the SLP-76-Vav association is dependent on Vav SH2. The work suggests that a physiological stimulus induces endogenous SLP-76/Vav association.

Musci et al. utilize the phosphoprotein SLP-76 Src homology 2 (SH2) domain to isolate human SLAP-130/Fyb; da Silva et al. took purified SLAP-130/Fyb through its association with the SH2 domain of Fyn. In contrast to Musci et al., who find that SLAP-130/Fyb acts as an inhibitor of TCR-induced nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) activity, da Silva et al. find that, when overexpressed in a T-cell hybridoma line, SLAP-130/Fyb causes a modest (three to fourfold) increase in TCR-stimulated IL-2 production.

Impaired plasma membrane targeting of Grb2-murine son of sevenless (mSOS) complex and differential activation of the Fyn-T cell receptor (TCR)-zeta-Cbl pathway mediate T cell hyporesponsiveness in autoimmune nonobese diabetic mice. of outstanding interest J Exp Med. 186:1997;887-897 This paper examines T-cell hyporesponsiveness in non-obese diabetic mice. Decreased Ras pathway activity correlates with an enhanced Fyn/TCR-ζ/Cbl complex, decreased ZAP-70 and Grb2/Sos membrane targeting, and depressed phosphorylation of pp36. These data support the idea that pp36 (LAT) tyrosine phosphorylation is important for transducing activating TCR signals.

LAT: The ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase substrate that links T cell receptor to cellular activation. of outstanding interest Cell. 92:1997;83-92 A description of the purification, cloning and initial characterization of LAT. LAT is tyrosine phosphorylated upon TCR stimulation and binds to Grb2, SLP-76, phospholipase Cγ1 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Overexpressed tyrosine point mutants of LAT act as dominant interfering molecules for TCR stimulation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT).

Experiments show hyperphosphorylation of Cbl and recruitment of CrkL and C3G to Cbl in anergic cells. Enhanced GTP-bound Rap1 and recruitment of Raf to Rap1 are also specific for anergic cells, suggesting a mechanism for Ras pathway inhibition in induction of anergy.

The inhibition of Syk kinase activity is due to its binding to Cbl and subsequent dissociation from the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs.

Both Src homology (SH)2 and SH3 domains of Crk are required, but membrane targeting of Crk can substitute for the SH2 domain, suggesting that recruitment of C3G to the cell membrane is a Crk function.
