It has been suggested that some of the differences between studies on the role of CD45 on src family kinase activity may be due to the nature of the cells, which are typically retrovirally transformed and therefore potentially subject to the effects of viral oncogenes 20 . To address this, we now analyze the enzymatic activity of Lck in thymocytes from CD45-deficient mice 21 . Although Lck is hyperphosphorylated on tyrosine residues, its kinase activity is substantially increased in the absence of CD45, demonstrating that in normal lymphoid cells CD45 inhibits the activity of this src family kinase.

Mice with disruption of CD45 exon 9 on the C57BL/6J background 21 and normal C57BL/6J mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME). Individual thymi were harvested, and single-cell suspensions were prepared in RPMI 1640 (Biofluids, Gaithersburg, MD) supplemented with 10% FCS. Cells were washed with PBS, counted, and used for flow cytometry analysis or biochemical studies. Anti-CD4-PE (RM4-5) and anti-CD8-FITC (53-6.7) were purchased from PharMingen (San Diego, CA). Anti-CD45 (M1/89) was used as culture supernatant and detected with FITC-goat anti-rat (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). Anti-Lck mAb 3A5 bound to agarose beads and anti-phosphotyrosine Ab PY-99 were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). Lck antiserum 688 was kindly provided by Larry Samelson, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.
Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting
Cells were washed in cold PBS and lysed in buffer containing 50 mM Tris, 300 mM NaCl, 0.5% Triton X-100, leupeptin, aprotinin, and phosphatase inhibitors 2 mM sodium o-vanadate, 0.4 mM EDTA, 10 mM sodium fluoride, and 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate (lysis buffer). Immunoprecipitation was performed on postnuclear fractions for 2 h at 4°C with protein A-Sepharose beads (Pierce, Rockford, IL) precoated with the indicated Abs. The precipitated proteins or total cell lysates were separated on reducing 8% SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and immunoblotted with the indicated Abs. Immunoblots were developed by 125I-labeled protein A and analyzed with a PhosphorImager (Molecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale, CA).
In vitro tyrosine kinase assay
PTK activity was assayed using phosphorylation
of the peptide KVEKIGEGTYGVVKK from
p34cdc2 residues 620 (Pierce) as described
22 . Briefly, washed cells were lysed in lysis buffer, and postnuclear
fractions were immunoprecipitated with Lck antiserum 688. After
extensive washing, the immunoprecipitates were incubated with 21 µl
of a reaction mixture containing the cdc2 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 peptide substrate and
10 µCi of [
-32P]ATP (ICN) at 30°C for 10 min.
Blank values were obtained for each sample in the absence of substrate.
Reactions were stopped by adding 10 µl of 10% acetic acid, the
samples were centrifuged in an Eppendorf microfuge (Hamburg, Germany)
for 30 s, and 25 µl of supernatant from each sample were spotted
on a SpinZyme basic separation unit (Pierce). After two washes with 75
mM phosphoric acid, bound radioactivity was counted with a
ß-scintillation counter. At the same time, the immunocomplexes used
for the kinase reaction as well as for the blank reaction (with no
peptide) were washed three times, resuspended in sample buffer, and
separated on reducing 8% SDS-PAGE to analyze Lck
autophosphorylation. Gels were transferred to
nitrocellulose, and radioactivity was measured by PhosphorImager
(Molecular Dynamics).

Despite the commonly held assumption that CD45 activates Lck in vivo 25, 26 , based largely on the analyses of Tyr505 phosphorylation, there is surprisingly little direct evidence for this model, and in fact quite a bit of data indicating that the relationship is not so straightforward. In favor of a direct positive effect of CD45 on the activation of Lck is a report in which Lck and Fyn from a CD45- CD8+ IL-2-dependent T cell clone were hyperphosphorylated in the COOH-terminal region and had reduced kinase activity 14 . In another report using a CD45- human leukemic T cell line, the Lck coprecipitated with anti-CD4 was reported to have reduced kinase activity 27 . However, in the same CD45- cells, the activity of Lck immunoprecipitated from whole cell lysates was clearly elevated. Moreover, another analysis of CD45- variants of the T cell line HPB-ALL found an increase in the kinase activity of CD4-associated Lck 28 . Cross-linking CD4 further enhanced Lck activity in these CD45- cells as well as in CD45- SAKRTLS cells 29 , demonstrating that CD45 is not required for induction of Lck activity. Other data in the literature also challenge the simple model that CD45 as a pure activator of src family kinases. For example, coclustering of CD45 with CD4 inhibits both Lck phosphorylation and increases in kinase activity induced by CD4 engagement 29 , suggesting that CD45 dephosphorylation of Lck decreases rather than increases Lck activity. In agreement with this is the finding that inhibition of tyrosine phosphatase activity by pervanadate is associated with cellular hyperphosphorylation and activation of Lck and Fyn and that these events depend on inhibition of CD45 since they do not occur in CD45- cells 30, 31 . Furthermore, in one set of CD45- Jurkat T cells, the baseline activities of Lck and Fyn have been shown to be elevated 31 . We have demonstrated in three independent T cell lines that in the absence of CD45 src family kinases are hyperphosphorylated, predominantly on Tyr505 18 . Despite this, Lck and Fyn activity were substantially elevated, and this activity was reduced to baseline levels by in vitro exposure of the hyperphosphorylated Lck to CD45. Phosphopeptide mapping and the characterization of Lck mutants with substitutions of critical tyrosine residues with phenylalanine demonstrated that loss of CD45 loss resulted in increased phosphorylation not only of Tyr505 but also of Tyr394 and that the latter was responsible for the increased kinase activity 19 . These results offer one reason for the apparent discrepancies between some of the studies, namely, that depending on the balance of phosphorylation between Tyr394 and Tyr505 one might obtain either inhibition or activation of kinase activity.
A previous study with a different CD45 knockout strain reported that
the activity of the src family kinases Hck and Lyn were in
fact elevated, although the activity of Lck in these mice was not
determined 32 . Another study with the mice used in the present report
demonstrated that Lck and Fyn were hyperphosphorylated on
tyrosine residues and used Lck precipitation by a peptide containing
phosphorylated Tyr505 that cannot bind the
"closed form" of the molecule (i.e., phosphorylated at
Tyr505) to suggest that there was more kinase in the
inactive form 33 . This result is not surprising, as loss of CD45 is
always associated with increased phosphorylation of
Tyr505. However, since loss of CD45 also results in
increased phosphorylation of Tyr394 19 ,
this does not mean that the net kinase activity in the population of
Lck molecules will in fact be decreased. No direct assay of overall Lck
kinase activity was performed in that study 33 . In the current
report, we have directly quantitated the enzymatic function of Lck. In
accord with our previous data with CD45- T cell lines,
despite tyrosine hyperphosphorylation, Lck from
CD45-/- thymocytes was 24 times more active than Lck
from CD45+/+ thymocytes. This is similar to the degree to
which kinase activity is elevated in the "constitutively active"
form of Lck in which Tyr505 is replaced with a Phe 19 .
These findings, together with previous observations 18, 19, 30, 31 ,
support an alternative to the simple model that CD45 merely activates
Lck by dephosphorylation of Tyr505
(Fig. 5
). In this scheme, CD45 is able to
dephosphorylate both Tyr505 and
Tyr394, and the consequence of these activities in normal
thymocytes is a decrease in Lck kinase activity. Therefore, one direct
role for CD45 in normal T cell activation would be to reset Lck to its
hypophosphorylated status at the end of the TCR
signaling cascade, bringing the kinase back to its preactivation
status. Together, these results indicate a more complex role for CD45
on src family kinase activity than is typically held and
demonstrate that in normal nontransformed thymocytes CD45
down-regulates Lck activity.
