Stimulation of mature T cells with agonist ligands of the Ag
receptor (TCR) causes rapid phosphorylation of tyrosine-based
activation motifs in the intracellular portion of TCR-
and CD3 and
activation of several intracellular signaling cascades. Coordinate
activation of these pathways is dependent on Lck- and ZAP-70-mediated
tyrosine phosphorylation of a 36-kDa linker for activation of T cells
and subsequent recruitment of phospholipase C-
1, Grb2-SOS, and
SLP-76-vav. Here, we show that TCR partial agonist ligands can
selectively activate one of these pathways, the Ras-mitogen-activated
protein kinase pathway, by inducing recruitment of Grb2-SOS complexes
to incompletely phosphorylated p21 phospho-TCR-
. This bypasses the
need for activation of Lck and ZAP-70, and for phosphorylation of the
linker for activation of T cells to activate Ras. We propose a general
model in which differential recruitment of activating complexes away
from transmembrane linker proteins may determine selective activation
of a given signaling pathway.
