Bcl10 (B-cell lymphoma 10) is an adaptor protein comprised of an N-terminal caspase recruitment domain and a C-terminal serine/threonine-rich domain. Bcl10 plays a critical role in antigen receptor-mediated NF-{kappa}B activation and lymphocyte development and functions. Our current study has discovered that T-cell activation induced monophosphorylation and biphosphorylation of Bcl10 and has identified S138 within Bcl10 as one of the T-cell receptor-induced phosphorylation sites. Alteration of S138 to an alanine residue impaired T-cell activation-induced ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of Bcl10, ultimately resulting in prolongation of TCR-mediated NF-{kappa}B activation and enhancement of interleukin-2 production. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that phosphorylation of Bcl10 at S138 down-regulates Bcl10 protein levels and thus negatively regulates T-cell receptor-mediated NF-{kappa}B activation.
