Description:
Surface expression of the CD45 tyrosine phosphatase is essential for the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) to couple optimally with its second messenger pathways. CD45 may be required to dephosphorylate a TCR-activated protein tyrosine kinase, which then transduces an activation signal from the TCR. A chimeric molecule that contained extracellular and transmembrane sequences from an allele of a major histocompatibility class I molecule and cytoplasmic sequences of CD45 restored TCR signaling in a CD45-deficient mutant T cell line. Thus, expression of the complex extracellular domain of CD45 is not required for the TCR to couple to its signaling machinery.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hovis, R R -- Donovan, J A -- Musci, M A -- Motto, D G -- Goldman, F D -- Ross, S E -- Koretzky, G A -- CA56050-01/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA56843-02/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Apr 23;260(5107):544-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Internal Medicine, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City 52242.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8475387" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
