  • Title: A tyrosine-phosphorylated 110-120-kDa protein associates with the C-terminal SH2 domain of phosphotyrosine phosphatase-1D in T cell receptor-stimulated T cells.

    Journal: Eur J Immunol; 1996 Jul; 26(7):1539-43. PubMed ID: 8766558.
    Abstract:
    The role of cytosolic phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPase) in T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated signaling was investigated. PTPase activity was detected in a purified immunocomplex comprising aggregated TCR from the cell surface of Jurkat T cells. Since TCR aggregation results in phosphorylation of critical immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM) in the TCR zeta chain, a doubly tyrosine-phosphorylated synthetic peptide containing the membrane-proximal zeta chain ITAM (zeta p ITAM) was used to characterize TCR zeta-associated PTPases. PTPase activity was detected in stable association with zeta p ITAM and the SH2 domain-containing PTPase PTP-1D (Syp, SH-PTP2) was identified in this complex. TCR stimulation resulted in increased total PTPase activity and PTP-1D protein in zeta p ITAM precipitates. TCR stimulation did not result in the tyrosine phosphorylation of PTP-1D but caused the rapid and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of a 110-120-kDa protein which associated selectively with the C-terminal SH2 domain of PTP-1D. This currently unidentified phosphotyrosine protein may be involved in localizing PTP-1D to the TCR following receptor stimulation.
