CD2BP1 Modulates CD2-Dependent T Cell Activation via Linkage to Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP)-PEST¹

Human CD2 regulates T cell activation and adhesion via mechanisms yet to be fully understood. This study focuses on CD2BP1, a CD2 cytoplasmic tail-binding protein preferentially expressed in hematopoetic cells. Structural and functional analyses suggest that CD2BP1 acts as a scaffold protein, participating in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. In this study, using a murine Ag-specific primary T cell transduction system to assess CD69, IL-2, and IFN- expression, we provide evidence that CD2BP1 directly and negatively impacts T cell activation via isolated CD2 triggering or TCR stimulation dependent on coordinate CD2 engagement. Disruption of protein tyrosine phosphatase-PEST and/or CD2BP1 association with the CD2 signalsome rescues T cells from the inhibitory effect of CD2 crosslinking. The overexpression of CD2BP1 selectively attenuates phospholipase C1, ERK1/2, and p38 phosphorylation without abrogating CD2-independent TCR stimulation. This study provides new insight on the regulation of T cell activation and may have implications for autoimmune processes known to be associated with CD2BP1 mutations.
