Human T-cell receptor triggering requires inactivation of Lim kinase-1 by Slingshot-1 phosphatase.
Actin dynamics control early T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling during T-cell activation. However, the precise regulation of initial actin rearrangements is not completely understood.

| Sumario: | Actin dynamics control early T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling during T-cell activation. However, the precise regulation of initial actin rearrangements is not completely understood. Here, we have investigated the regulatory role of the phosphatase Slingshot-1 (SSH1) in this process. Our data show that SSH1 rapidly polarises to nascent cognate synaptic contacts and later relocalises to peripheral F-actin networks organised at the mature immunological synapse. Knockdown of SSH1 expression by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing or small interfering RNA reveal a regulatory role for SSH1 in CD3ε conformational change, allowing Nck binding and proper downstream signalling and immunological synapse organisation. TCR triggering induces SSH1-mediated activation of actin dynamics through a mechanism mediated by Limk-1 inactivation. These data suggest that during early TCR activation, SSH1 is required for rapid F-actin rearrangements that mediate initial conformational changes of the TCR, integrin organisation and proximal signalling events for proper synapse organisation. Therefore, the SSH1 and Limk-1 axis is a key regulatory element for full T cell activation. |
