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
