lecture 8 Immune receptors and signal Transduction Flashcards
what do adaptor proteins lack
catalytic activity
what do adaptor proteins have
protein-protein interaction domains
what exactly are adaptor proteins
molecular hubs that link enzymes and assembly signaling molecule complexes
examples of adaptor proteins
LAT, BLNK
LAT
linker for activation of T cells
BLNK
B cell linker
what types of domains do adaptor proteins have
SH2 and SH3
how are adaptor proteins connected to proteins w/ SH2 domains
have tyrosine residues for docking sites due to phosphotyrosine
what does adaptor protein have for connection w/ SH3 domains on other proteins
proline-rich stretches
what is central for T cell signaling
LAT
how was LAT signifigance demonstrated
Jurkat T cells lacked LAT and no TCR mediated signaling but if restore then had signaling and T cell activation
what are Jurkat T cells
tumor cells
if animals lack LAT how are they different
no mature alpha or beta T cells
what happens in T cell activation
assembly proper adaptor proteins
main adaptor proteins to activate T cells
LAT, GADS/Grb2, SLP 76
what type of protein is LAT
integral membrane protein
What is the role of LAT in T cell activation
is phosphorylated and recruits PLCy and GADs
what does PLCy do
Ca2+ signaling
what is fxn of GADS
associates w/ SLP76 by SH3 domains
GADS is what type of protein and family
cytosolic adaptor protein of Grb2 family
what is SLP16 for
recruits VAV
activates SLP76
TK
what type of protein is SLP 76
adaptor protein w/ proline rich domain and SH2 binding domain
what is role of VAV
activate cytoskeletal rearrangements and Tc alterations
what type of proteins are VAV
guanine nucleotide exchanges factors for GTPases
what makes up the TCR complex
a/B TCR non-covalently liked to CD3 and weird G protein
list order of TCR complex
CD3, G, TCR, CD3
what causes the parts of TCR complex to join
charged residues in transmembrane region
size of a and B carboxyl terminal cytoplasmic tails
5-12 aa long
what is the role of CD3 and weird G in TCR complex
signal- transducing subunit due to the small TCR cytoplasmic tails
chains of CD3 are
epsilon and delta
what do CD8 and CD4 react with
MHC class I and II
describe CD4 coreceptors
4 extracellular Ig-linke domains, hydrophobic transmembrane, basic cytoplasmic tail of 38 AA
what are CD4 coreceptor ig like domains
2 variable and 2 H that alternate
what makes up CD8 coreceptor
CD8 alpha and beta
structure of CD8 alpha and beta coreceptor
single IG domain, transmembrane, basic cytoplasmic tail of 25 aa long
CD8 coreceptors bind what
MHC class I and Beta 2 microglobulin
activating receptors of immune system
ITAMS
what is the structure of ITAMs
separate polypeptide chains for recognition and signaling such as TCR
what does ITAM stand for
immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating motifs
where are itams on activating receptors
cytosolic
inhibitory receptors have what
ITIMs on cytosolic
structure of inhibitory receptor
recognition and signaling domain on same side
inhibitory receptor in B cells and myeloid cells
FcyRIIB
Fc receptor for IgE
FcERI
Fc receptor for IgG
FcyRIIB
how many signaling chains does a TCR complex have
6: 2 CD3, 2 weird G, 2 CD3
how many ITAMS does a TCR complex have
10: 2 CD3, 6 weird G, 2 CD3
how is Ag affinity for TCR determined
number of ITAMS phosphorylated
stronger, longer Ag to TCR means
more ITAMs phosphorylated
what does Ag affinity of TCR determine
nature/stage of cellular response
weak TCR to Ag signal means
positive selection of T cells in thymus
strong TCR to Ag signal means
negative selection of T cells and death by apoptosis
what regulates TCR and BCR besides ITAMs and ITIMs
coreceptors, costimulation, and inhibitory receptors
what is a co-receptor
transmembrane signaling protein on lymphocyte that stimulates AG receptor activation
what does a coreceptor with signaling enzyme cause for normal receptor
increase ITAM phosphorylation and activation of Ag receptor
Co receptor on T helper cells
CD4
co receptor on cytotoxic T cells
CD8
co receptor on B cells
CR2/ CD21
