While the cytoskeletal protein talin binds to the β-chain of LFA-1, the immune cell adaptor SKAP1 (SKAP-55) binds to the α-chain of the same integrin via RapL. Whereas calpain protease cleavage of talin is important for LFA-1 activation, it has been unclear whether SKAP1 can alter the function of talin or its associated adaptor RIAM in T-cells. In this paper, we report that Skap1-/- T-cells showed a reduction in the translocation of talin and RIAM to the contact interface of T-cells with antigenic beads or dendritic cells (DCs) presenting OVA peptide to OT-1 T-cells. In addition, Skap1-/- T-cells show an altered pattern of talin cleavage, while the expression of a cleavage resistant form of talin (L432G) restored the impaired adhesion of OT1 transgenic Skap1-/- T-cells with DCs. SKAP1 therefore can affect the function of talin in T-cells needed for optimal T-cell/DC conjugation.
细胞骨架蛋白踝蛋白可与淋巴细胞功能相关抗原-1(LFA-1)的β链结合,而免疫细胞衔接蛋白SKAP1(SKAP-55)则通过RapL与同一整合素的α链结合。虽然钙蛋白酶对踝蛋白的切割对LFA-1的激活很重要,但尚不清楚SKAP1是否能改变T细胞中踝蛋白或其相关衔接蛋白RIAM的功能。在本文中,我们报道Skap1基因敲除的T细胞中,踝蛋白和RIAM向T细胞与抗原珠或向OT-1 T细胞呈递卵清蛋白(OVA)肽的树突状细胞(DC)接触界面的转位减少。此外,Skap1基因敲除的T细胞显示出踝蛋白切割模式的改变,而一种抗切割形式的踝蛋白(L432G)的表达恢复了OT1转基因Skap1基因敲除的T细胞与DC受损的黏附。因此,SKAP1可以影响T细胞中踝蛋白的功能,而这是最佳T细胞/DC结合所必需的。
