アブストラクト
Vav proteins are multidomain signaling molecules critical for mediating signals downstream ofseveral surface receptors, including the antigen receptors of T and B lymphocytes. The catalyticguanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity of the Vav Dbl homology (DH) domain is thoughtto be controlled by an intramolecular autoinhibitory mechanism involving an N-terminal extensionand phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the acidic region (AC). Here, we report that the sequencessurrounding the Vav1 AC: Tyr142, Tyr160, and Tyr174 are evolutionarily conserved, conform toconsensus SH2 domain binding motifs, and bind several proteins implicated in TCR signaling,including Lck, PI3K p85α, and PLCγ1, through direct interactions with their SH2 domains. Inaddition, the AC tyrosines regulate tyrosine phosphorylation of Vav1. We also show that Tyr174 isrequired for the maintenance of TCR-signaling microclusters and for normal T cell development andactivation. In this regard, our data demonstrate that while Vav1 Tyr174 is essential for maintainingthe inhibitory constraint of the DH domain in both developing and mature T cells, constitutivelyactivated Vav GEF disrupts TCR-signaling microclusters and leads to defective T cell developmentand proliferation.
