The relocation of kinases in T lymphocytes during their cognate
interaction with APCs is essential for lymphocyte activation. We found
that the proline-rich tyrosine kinase-2 (Pyk2) is rapidly translocated
to the T cell-APC contact area upon T cell-specific recognition of
superantigen-pulsed APCs. Stimulation with anti-CD3-coated latex
microspheres was sufficient for Pyk2 reorientation, and the
coengagement of CD28 boosted Pyk2 redistribution. Nevertheless, Pyk2
translocation did not result in its recruitment to lipid rafts. Two
results support that Pyk2 translocation was independent of its kinase
activity. First, Lck activity was required for TCR-induced Pyk2
translocation, but not for TCR-induced Pyk2 activation. Second, a
kinase-dead Pyk2 mutant was equally translocated upon TCR triggering.
In addition, Lck activity alone was insufficient to induce Pyk2
reorientation and activation, requiring the presence of at least one
intact immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). Despite
the dependence on functional Lck and on phosphorylated ITAM for Pyk2
translocation, the ITAM-binding tyrosine kinase
-associated protein
70 (ZAP-70) was not essential. All these data suggest that, by
translocating to the vicinity of the immune synapse, Pyk2 could play an
essential role in T cell activation and polarized secretion of
cytokines.
