Q

what does cd28 signaling do in naive cells

A

TCR/CD28 costimulation activates the
IκB kinase (IKK) complex which then
phosphorylates IκB, leading to its
degradation and the release of Rel
subunits of the NF-κB family. Free cRel translocates to the nucleus and
binds to the CD28-responsive region of
the Il2 gene, leading to Il2 transcription.

Q

true or false: the tcr -cd28 pathway ca also induce the expression of ubiquitin e3 ligase

A

true
The TCR-CD28 pathway can also
induce expression of the ubiquitin E3
ligase, Peli1 by an uncharacterized
pathway. Peli1 interacts with c-Rel and
catalyzes its poly-ubiquitination (Ub),
which results in degradation of c-Rel by
the proteasome. This inhibits IL-2
production and results in a state of
unresponsiveness known as ‘T cell
anergy’ that is associated with
peripheral T cell tolerance.

Q

Co-inhibitory signaling downstream of BTL-A, PD-1 and CTLA-4 suppresses T…… through t….. and serine/threonine protein
phosphatase 2A (PP2A). These phosphatases dephosphorylate several of the major signaling nodes that
are essential for co-stimulation of T cells. PD1 has also been shown to inhibit the RAS–ERK pathway.

A

Co-inhibitory signaling downstream of BTL-A, PD-1 and CTLA-4 suppresses T cell activation and
function through the recruitment of the phosphatases SHP1, SHP2 and serine/threonine protein
phosphatase 2A (PP2A). These phosphatases dephosphorylate several of the major signaling nodes that are essential for co-stimulation of T cells. PD1 has also been shown to inhibit the RAS–ERK pathway.
