T cell receptor and co-stimulatory signaling (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
The activation and translocation of transcription factors NFAT, AP-1 and NF-kappa-B via the co-stimulatory signaling cascade triggered by MHC peptide, B7 proteins and PD-L1. The activation of NFAT involves a Ca2+/calcineurin disruption of a massive RNA-protein complex prior to its translocation into the nucleus and ultimate transcription factor activity.

|---|---|---|---|
| AKT1 | GeneProduct | 207 (Entrez Gene)  | Akt is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase that plays a key role in many cellular processes such as glucose metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation, transcription, and cell migration. Akt is recruited to the membrane by PIP3. Here Akt can be activated / phosphorylated (indirectly) by P13K and can then phosphorylate a variety of downstream pathways. Noteably, Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting the cell death pathway and stimulates cell metabolism by increasing the utilization of glucose. |
| AP-1 | Protein | A heterodimeric protein composed of proteins belonging to the c-Fos, c-Jun, ATF and JDP families | |
| B7-1/ B7-2 | Complex | ||

| CSNK1A1 | GeneProduct | 1452 (Entrez Gene) | |
| CTLA4 | GeneProduct | 1493 (Entrez Gene) | Expression is enhanced by IL-2.
Function is controlled largely by regulation of its surface expression. Initially CTLA-4 is in the intracellular membrane but moves to the cell surface after T-cell receptor signaling. When CTLA-4 cytoplasmic tail is NOT phosphorylated it binds to AP-2 (clathrin adapter molecule) and is removed from the surface. When the tail is phosphorylated AP-2 cannot bind and CTLA-4 is expressed on the surface. CTLA-4 competes with CD28 for B7 ligand, and it has a higher affinity of B7 in part because CTLA-4 binds B7 in a dimer. CTLA-4 interfers with the formation of lipid rafts, TCR:ZAP70 microclusters, and central supramolecular activation complex. |

| IP3 | Metabolite | HMDB01059 (HMDB) | IP3 is generated when PLC-g cleaves PIP2. IP3 is a second messanger that diffuses into the cytosol and binds to IP3 receptors on the ER therey opening calcium channels. |
| ITK | Protein | 3702 (Entrez Gene) | Itk is a membrane associated tryosine kinase. It binds to phosphorylated LAT and SLP-76 scafflods. From here is activates PLC-g by phosphorylation |
| IkBa | Protein | P25963 (Uniprot-TrEMBL) | IkB is an inhibitory protein which when bound to NFkB holds it in an inactive state. |
| LAT / SLP-76 scaffold complex | Protein | Linker for Activation of T cells - LAT is a transmembrane scaffold protein. It can be phosphorylated by Zap-70. This scaffold includes LAT, SLP-76, Grb2, SOS, GADS | |
| LCK | GeneProduct | 3932 (Entrez Gene) | Cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase - Lck in its inactive state is bound to CD4/CD8 cytoplasmic tail and it's terminal tyrosine is phosphorylated. Dephosphorylation of this amino acid (by tyrosine phosphotase CD45 -- CD4/CD8 binding its ligand) causes a conformations change in LcK and it becomes an active tyrosine kinase.
LcK is activated when the extracellular part of CD8 binds its (MHC:peptide) ligand. Lck is a Src family kinase that is constitutively expressed. It phosphorylates all TCR ITAMS. Rephosphorylation of this carboxyl-terminal tyrosine by Csk returns Lck to the inactive state. Basically, Lck is bound to CD8. When CD8 binds MHC:peptide, Lck gets activated and can phosphorylate nearby ITAMs. |
