Serine 16 of Stathmin as a Cytosolic Target for Ca²⁺/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase II After CD2 Triggering of Human T Lymphocytes¹

Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale U440, Paris, France

We investigated specific signaling events initiated after T cell triggering through the costimulatory surface receptors CD2 and CD28 as compared with activation via the Ag receptor (TCR/CD3). We therefore followed the phosphorylation of stathmin, a ubiquitous cytoplasmic phosphoprotein proposed as a general relay integrating diverse intracellular signaling pathways through the combinatorial phosphorylation of serines 16, 25, 38, and 63, the likely physiologic substrates for Ca²⁺/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinases, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks), and protein kinase A, respectively. We addressed the specific protein kinase systems involved in the CD2 pathway of T cell activation through the analysis of stathmin phosphorylation patterns in exponentially growing Jurkat T cells, as revealed by phosphopeptide mapping. Stimulation via CD2 activated multiple signal transduction pathways, resulting in phosphorylation of distinct sites of stathmin, the combination of which only partially overlaps the CD3- and CD28-induced patterns. The partial redundancy of the three T cell activation pathways was evidenced by the phosphorylation of Ser²⁵ and Ser³⁸, substrates of MAP kinases and of the cdk family kinase(s), respectively. Conversely, the phosphorylation of Ser¹⁶ of stathmin was observed in response to both CD2 and CD28 triggering, but not CD3 triggering, with a kinetics compatible with the lasting activation of CaM kinase II in response to CD2 triggering. In vitro, Ser¹⁶ of recombinant human stathmin was phosphorylated also by purified CaM kinase II, and in vivo, CaM kinase II activity was indeed stimulated in CD2-triggered Jurkat cells. Altogether, our results favor an association of CaM kinase II activity with costimulatory signals of T lymphocyte activation and phosphorylation of stathmin on Ser¹⁶.
