The negative regulation of T- or B-cell antigen receptor signaling
by CD5 was proposed based on studies of thymocytes and peritoneal B-1a
cells from CD5-deficient mice. Here, we show that CD5 is constitutively
associated with phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity in Jurkat T cells.
CD5 was found associated with the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain
containing hematopoietic phosphotyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 in both
Jurkat cells and normal phytohemagglutinin-expanded T lymphoblasts.
This interaction was increased upon T-cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 cell
stimulation. CD5 co-cross-linking with the TCR-CD3 complex
down-regulated the TCR-CD3-increased Ca2+ mobilization in
Jurkat cells. In addition, stimulation of Jurkat cells or normal
phytohemagglutinin-expanded T lymphoblasts through TCR-CD3 induced
rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of several protein substrates, which was
substantially diminished after CD5 cross-linking. The CD5-regulated
substrates included CD3
, ZAP-70, Syk, and phospholipase C
l but
not the Src family tyrosine kinase p56lck. By
mutation of all four CD5 intracellular tyrosine residues to
phenylalanine, we found the membrane-proximal tyrosine at position 378, which is located in an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory (ITIM)-like motif, crucial for SHP-1 association. The F378 point mutation ablated both SHP-1 binding and the down-regulating activity of
CD5 during TCR-CD3 stimulation. These results suggest a critical role
of the CD5 ITIM-like motif, which by binding to SHP-1 mediates the
down-regulatory activity of this receptor.
