Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

2.9K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

13.5K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions01:17

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions

3.7K
Integrins act both as extracellular input receivers and as intracellular processing activators. As their name suggests, integrins are entirely integrated into the membrane structure. Their hydrophobic membrane-spanning regions interact with the phospholipid bilayer's hydrophobic region. These membrane receptors provide extracellular attachment sites for effectors like hormones and growth factors. They activate intracellular response cascades when their effectors are bound and active.

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting01:45

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

3.4K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

10.2K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade01:22

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade

18.9K
When a ligand binds to a cell-surface receptor, the receptor's intracellular domain changes shape, which may either activate its enzyme function or allow its binding to other molecules. The initial signal is amplified by most signal transduction pathways. This means that a single ligand molecule can activate multiple molecules of a downstream target. Proteins that relay a signal are most commonly phosphorylated at one or more sites, activating or inactivating the protein. Kinases catalyze...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Endosomes play a critical role in receptor signal transduction, but their precise function in T cell signaling is not fully understood.
  • The T cell receptor (TCR) and associated signaling molecules interact with various endosomal compartments, influencing T cell activation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of endosomal trafficking in T cell receptor (TCR) signal transduction.
  • To determine how the Rab11 effector FIP3 influences the localization and function of the protein tyrosine kinase Lck in human T cells.

Main Methods:

  • Studied human T cells, manipulating FIP3 expression (overexpression and silencing) and its interaction with Rab11.
  • Assessed Lck subcellular localization, its delivery to the immunological synapse, and its impact on TCR signaling components.
  • Measured tyrosine phosphorylation of TCRζ, ZAP70, LAT, intracellular calcium levels, and IL-2 gene expression.

Main Results:

  • FIP3 controls the subcellular localization and delivery of Lck to the immunological synapse.
  • FIP3-dependent Lck localization is essential for early TCR signaling events, including TCRζ phosphorylation and calcium influx.
  • FIP3 regulates both basal and stimulated phosphotyrosine and calcium levels, influencing TCR-CD3 surface expression and TCRζ protein levels.

Conclusions:

  • Endosomal trafficking, regulated by FIP3, is critical for T cell receptor signal transduction and T cell activation.
  • FIP3-mediated regulation of Lck localization impacts early signaling events and downstream IL-2 production.
  • Fine-tuning of endosomal traffic by FIP3 influences TCR-CD3 expression and potentially long-term T cell responses.
