Phosphotyrosine Binding-Mediated Oligomerization of Downstream of Tyrosine Kinase (Dok)-1 and Dok-2 Is Involved in CD2-Induced Dok Phosphorylation¹

Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique-Institut Armand-Frappier, Université du Québec, Laval, Canada

To date, five members of the downstream of tyrosine kinase (Dok) family have been characterized. In T cells, two members, Dok-1 and Dok-2, are expressed. CD2 or CD28 stimulation, but not CD3/TCR stimulation, induces Dok phosphorylation. Recent evidence suggests that they act as negative regulators of the CD2 and CD28 signaling pathways. To identify the molecular mechanisms involved in Dok-mediated inhibition, we have identified proteins that bind to the phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain of Dok-1 and Dok-2. We showed that the Dok PTB domain mediates phosphotyrosine-dependent homotypic and heterotypic interactions of Dok-1 and Dok-2. Moreover, in CD2-stimulated Jurkat cells, Dok-1 coimmunoprecipitates with tyrosine-phosphorylated Dok-2. To study the involvement of PTB-mediated oligomerization in Dok function, we have generated Jurkat clones overexpressing Dok-1 or Dok-2 with a mutation that prevents oligomerization (in either the PTB domain or Tyr146 of Dok-1 and Tyr139 of Dok-2). These mutations abrogate CD2-induced phosphorylation and the ability of Dok-1 or Dok-2 to inhibit CD2-induced ERK1/2 and NFAT activation. Moreover, overexpression of Dok-1Y146F or Dok-2Y139F interferes with CD2-induced phosphorylation of endogenous Dok, whereas overexpression of PTB mutant or wild-type Dok does not. Taken together, these data indicate that PTB-mediated oligomerization of Dok-1 and Dok-2 represents an essential step for Dok phosphorylation and function.
