Ligation of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) results in the rapid
activation of several protein tyrosine kinases, with the subsequent
phosphorylation of numerous cellular proteins. We investigated the
requirement for tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins which bind the Grb2
SH2 domain in TCR-mediated signal transduction by transfecting the Jurkat
T-cell line with a cDNA encoding a chimeric protein designed to
dephosphorylate these molecules. Stimulation of the TCR on cells expressing
this engineered enzyme fails to result in sustained tyrosine
phosphorylation of a 36-kDa protein likely to be the recently cloned
pp36/Lnk. Interestingly, TCR ligation of the transfected cells also fails
to induce soluble inositol phosphate production and intracellular calcium
mobilization, although receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of
phospholipase C gamma 1 still occurs. TCR-mediated Ras and
mitogen-activated protein kinase activation remain intact in cells
expressing the engineered phosphatase. These data demonstrate that tyrosine
phosphorylation of a protein(s) which binds the SH2 domain of Grb2
correlates with phospholipase C gamma 1 activation and suggest that such a
phosphoprotein(s) plays a critical role in coupling the TCR with the
phosphatidylinositol second-messenger pathway.
