type IIB receptor-CD5 chimeras encompassing the
cytoplasmic domain of CD5, we previously showed that a particular
region of the molecule containing two tyrosine residues, Y429 and Y441,
in an amino acid stretch similar to the Src autophosphorylation motif
and a putative ITIM, respectively, antagonized early signaling events
triggered through the B cell receptor (BCR). In this study, we provide
evidences that only Y429 is mandatory for the inhibition by CD5 of the
calcium response activated via the BCR. This residue also efficiently
controls inhibition of the Ras/extracellular signal-related kinase-2
pathway. Analyzing the membrane translocation of the AKT
protooncogene using its 3'-phosphoinositide-specific pleckstrin
homology domain fused to the green fluorescent protein as a probe, we
also show that CD5 strongly impairs its cellular redistribution and
demonstrate the role played by Y429 in this process. We finally report
that Y429 controls almost exclusively CD5 phosphorylation as well as
inhibition of BCR-triggered IL-2 production upon coaggregation of the
two receptors. Thus, CD5 uses an ITIM-independent strategy, centered on
Y429, the major tyrosine-phosphorylated residue in its cytoplasmic
domain, to inhibit BCR activation. | Introduction |

enzymes (13, 14, 15). As for SHIP-1, it
inhibits the relocalization to the cell membrane of critical signaling
proteins with a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, such as the Tec family
Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) (16, 17) or the
serine/threonine kinase AKT (18, 19), by hydrolyzing
phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3,4,5-trisphosphate
(3,4,5-P3) produced after PtdIns 3-kinase (PI3-K)
activation (20). This current ITIM model explains quite
satisfactorily the functioning of most inhibitory receptors in B cells,
including the Fc
RIIB1, the CD22, the CD72, and the paired Ig-like B
receptors that share more or less these repressing mechanisms to impair
BCR-triggered responses. Another membrane receptor, the CD5 molecule, constitutively expressed by a subset of B lymphocytes termed B1-a (21, 22, 23) or after surface IgM cross-linking of peripheral B cells (24), is also considered now as an authentic B cell inhibitory receptor. Its function in B cells remained unclear until the establishment of genetically engineered mice lacking the CD5 molecule (25). Contrary to other B cells, B1-a cells are poorly responsive to BCR stimulation. It was discovered that in these mice the absence of CD5 restored their capacity to fully proliferate in response to an anti-µ stimulation (26). More recently, it was shown using a BCR transgenic model that CD5 was necessary to maintain tolerance in anergic B cells in vivo (27). Collectively, these data therefore suggested that CD5 was exerting at the functional level a negative signal on the BCR, probably contributing to set threshold levels for activation signals. Using a reconstitution approach in a murine B cell line, we thus recently challenged the possibility of an alteration by the CD5 cytoplasmic domain (CD5cyt) of the early biochemical signals downstream the BCR. We demonstrated that both calcium (Ca2+) response and extracellular signal-related kinase-2 (ERK-2) activation following BCR stimulation were antagonized by CD5 upon their clustering, resulting in complete loss in lymphokine release (28). We showed, however, that neither SHIP-1 nor SHP-1 could be precipitated with phosphorylated CD5 molecules.
CD5cyt contains two potential ITIMs according to the prototypic sequence for these motifs. One, LAY378KKL, straddles the transmembrane and CD5cyt. In T cells, in which an inhibitory effect of CD5 is also disputed (29), its contribution to CD5 phosphorylation and inhibitory effects by recruiting the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 (30) has been, however, a great matter of debate. Several studies reported in fact that this putative ITIM did not participate in the phosphorylation of human CD5cyt in Jurkat T cells (31, 32). It was also superfluous for CD5-mediated inhibition in murine T cell models (33, 34). The reason for this discrepancy is not clear, but we demonstrated in our previous work that CD5 constructs without this residue were still inhibitory in B cells. In contrast, we showed the key role played by a sequence of CD5cyt, close to an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM), with two tyrosine residues in a sequence (DNEY429) identical with the autophosphorylation motif of Src protein tyrosine kinases and in the second additional putative ITIM of CD5cyt (SAY441PAL), respectively (28).
The present study was undertaken to make clear the structural basis of CD5-mediated inhibitory effects in B lymphocytes. It demonstrates the essential role played by tyrosine Y429 expressed in the motif of CD5cyt similar to the Src autophosphorylation site. This residue controls all the inhibitory effects of the molecule on critical BCR-induced signaling events, and, concomitantly, is also required for the phosphorylation of CD5 and inhibition of B cell functional responses. These results definitely demonstrate that CD5 escapes from the classical ITIM model to inhibit B cell activation.

The murine B lymphoma cell line IIA1.6 (a Fc
RIIB
receptor-negative variant of the murine B lymphoma cell line A20) was
grown in RPMI 1640 medium (Seromed, Biochrom KG, Berlin, Germany)
supplemented with 10% FCS, antibiotics (50 U/ml penicillin, 50 µg/ml
streptomycin), 2 mM L-glutamine, 50 µM 2-ME, and 1 mM
sodium pyruvate (complete medium). CD5.21, CD5
ITAM.3, and IC1 IIA1.6
transfectants were previously described (28). CD5.21
express a chimeric receptor made of the Fc
RIIB1 extracellular and
transmembrane domains fused to human CD5cyt. CD5
ITAM.3 express the
same chimera deleted of the pseudo-ITAM motif of CD5cyt. IC1 express a
truncated form of the molecule without the cytoplasmic domain. They
were cultured in the same medium supplemented with 1 mg/ml G-418
(Geneticin; Invitrogen, Groningen, The Netherlands). This medium was
also used for selection and culture of stable transfectants (see
below). IL-2 production was assayed on CTLL-2 cells, as described
previously (28).
Antibodies
Purified rat anti-Fc
RIIB 2.4G2 mAb was kindly provided by
M. Daëron (Institut des Cordeliers, Paris, France). FITC-labeled
goat anti-rat F(ab')2 and FITC-labeled goat
anti-rabbit F(ab')2 were purchased from
Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories (West Grove, PA). Rabbit IgG
fraction to mouse IgG (RAM) (whole molecule) and
F(ab')2 were obtained from Cappel (ICN
Pharmaceuticals, Aurora, OH). Anti-phosphotyrosine mAb 4G10 and
anti-ERK-2 Ab were obtained from Upstate Biotechnology (Lake
Placid, NY).
Constructs
To make desired mutation of CD5cyt tyrosine residues Y429 and
Y441 to phenylalanine, the following mutagenic oligonucleotide pairs
were used: 5'-GATAACGAATTCAGCCAACCTCCC-3' and
5'-GGGAGGTTGGCTGAATTCGTTATC-3' for Y429, and
5'-CCCGCCTGTCAGCATTTCCAGCTCTGG-3' and
5'-CCAGAGCTGGAAATGCTGACAGGCGGG-3' for Y441, according to the
manufacturers protocol of the Quick Change Site-Directed Mutagenesis
kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA), and using the previously described
Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt construct in pNT-neo vector (28) as
template. All constructs were verified by DNA sequencing. The AKT
PH-green fluorescent protein (GFP) construct was kindly given by T.
Meyer (Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA).
Stable expression in IIA1.6 cells of the mutated
Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt chimeras
Constructs were linearized by ScaI restriction enzyme
digestion and purified by salt-saturated phenol extraction and
ethanol precipitation. A total of 5 x 106
IIA1.6 cells was mixed with 20 µg plasmid DNA in 0.5 ml of a buffer
containing 120 mM KCl, 150 µM CaCl2, 10 mM
K2HPO4/KH2PO4,
2 mM EGTA, 5 mM MgCl2 1 mM ATP, 5 mM glutathione,
and 25 mM HEPES, and electroporated at 260 V, 960 µF, in a Gene
Pulser (Bio-Rad, Ivry sur Seine, France). Transfectants were selected
by addition of 1 mg/ml G-418, 24 h after electroporation.
Fc
RIIB expression on the expanding cells after 1015 days of
culture was detected by indirect immunofluorescence staining with mAb
2.4G2 and FITC-labeled goat anti-rat F(ab')2,
and the positive cells were sorted with a FACS before cloning by
limiting dilution in 96-well culture plates. For each tyrosine
mutation, a cell line was also established after two sortings at a 2-wk
interval of Fc
RIIB-positive cells.
Ca2+ response analysis
Intracellular Ca2+ measurements on cell suspensions were performed with fura 2-AM (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR), as described previously (28). For single cell Ca2+ video imaging, cells loaded with fura 2-AM were seeded in a 10 mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.2, supplemented with 120 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM Na2HPO4, and 1 mg/ml glucose on a glass coverslip mounted on 30-mm petri dishes in a final volume of 100 µl. After 5 min to allow the cells to deposit, the medium was carefully removed and replaced with fresh medium at 37°C supplemented with RAM IgG or RAM F(ab')2. Measurements were performed at 37°C with a Diaphot 300 microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY) and an IMSTAR imaging system, as described previously (35).
Cell stimulation, immunoprecipitation, and Western blot analysis
Cells were washed once and resuspended in RPMI medium (1 x
107/ml) containing 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, and were
then equilibrated for 10 min at 37°C. Cell stimulation was achieved
by incubation at 37°C in medium alone or in the presence of the
indicated Ab. Activation was stopped by brief centrifugation and lysis
at 4°C for 30 min in lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 140 mM
NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 50 U/ml aprotinin, 1 mM PMSF, 1 mM sodium
orthovanadate) containing 1% Nonidet P-40 detergent. Nuclei and
cellular debris were removed by centrifugation at 10,000 x
g for 10 min, and the amount of proteins in lysates was
determined using Bradford test (Bio-Rad). For Fc
RIIB
immunoprecipitations, lysates were incubated for 2 h at 4°C with
2.4G2-coated protein G-Sepharose (Sigma, Saint-Quentin Fallavier,
France; 5 µg purified Ab per 50 µl beads diluted 1/2), followed by
four washes in lysis buffer. Proteins were then separated by SDS-PAGE
(10%) and blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Amersham,
Paris, France). For ERK-2 analysis, 20 µg whole cellular lysates were
separated on 10% acrylamide SDS gels containing 0.1% bisacrylamide
(instead of 0.3%) for accurate separation of the unphosphorylated and
phosphorylated forms of the protein and blotted with the anti-ERK-2
Ab. Blots were revealed with an ECL detection system (Amersham).
Scanning densitometry was performed with the Bio-Rads densitometer
GS-670.
Fluorescence analysis
For fluorescence analysis with GFP, cells were centrifuged and resuspended in complete RPMI medium (2 x 107/ml). Cells were then incubated at room temperature for 15 min with 5 µg plasmid DNA and electroporated at 280 V, 950 µF. After a 16-h culture in complete culture medium, cells were seeded in their culture medium on a glass coverslip mounted on 30-mm petri dishes in a final volume of 100 µl. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with RAM IgG or RAM F(ab')2 for 5 min at 37°C in a CO2 incubator. Fluorescence microscopy was performed with a Nikon Eclipse TE300 inverted microscope equipped with fluorescein filters using a x60 oil objective. Fluorescence images were collected with a cooled CCD camera (CoolSNAPfx; Roper Scientific, Evry, France) and the MetaView Imaging software (Universal Imaging, West Chester, PA). Digital images (8-bit scale) were printed directly.

We previously used Fc
RIIB1-CD5cyt chimeras expressed in IIA1.6,
a Fc
R-negative B cell derived from the A20 murine lymphoma, to show
that a short sequence alike an ITAM motif in human CD5cyt was required
to inhibit BCR-induced Ca2+ responses
(28). However, the contribution of the two tyrosine
residues expressed in this sequence, Y429 and Y441, was not evaluated.
To this end, we constructed Fc
RIIB1-CD5cyt chimeras in which either
residue was mutated to phenylalanine. After transfection in IIA1.6
cells, clones were selected for stable and similar expression of
Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt chimeras, two for the Y429F mutation (Y429F.5 and
Y429F.6) and two for the Y441F mutation (Y441F.1 and Y441F.8). Two
polyclonal cell lines, Y429F.L and Y441F.L, expressing the mutated
receptors, were also established after G-418 selection and by sorting
Fc
RIIB-positive cells. The different cells expressed equivalent
levels of Fc
RIIB and BCR (not shown).
Ca2+ responses triggered by
F(ab')2 or whole Abs against murine IgG were
first analyzed using the different cell clones. CD5.21 cells,
expressing the wild-type Fc
RIIB1-CD5cyt chimera, and CD5
ITAM.3
cells, a cell clone in which the deletion of the entire pseudo-ITAM
motif of CD5cyt has been shown to restore the
Ca2+ response to RAM IgG (28), were
used as controls. Upon coligation of the BCR with the chimera, the
Ca2+ increase was antagonized in cells expressing
the Y441F Fc
RIIB1-CD5cyt mutant (Fig. 1
A). As with CD5.21 cells, the
initial Ca2+ peak (especially in clone Y441F.8),
but mainly the sustained Ca2+ influx, was
reduced, giving a transient response to BCR stimulation. On the
opposite, the response to RAM F(ab')2 or RAM IgG
was roughly identical in cells expressing the Y429F mutant. Note that
we did not find any significant influence in our experimental cell
system of anti-Fc
RIIB 2.4G2 mAb addition on the
Ca2+ response induced by RAM
F(ab')2 (not shown).

ERK-2 inhibition after BCR aggregation with CD5 is ITIM independent
As recently shown for the Fc
RIIB1 (36), different
inhibitory pathways could originate from distinct regions of the CD5
molecule to alter B cell activation. In parallel to
Ca2+ inhibition, ERK-2 activation was also
impaired upon BCR coligation with CD5 (28). However, the
region of CD5cyt involved in this phenomenon was not defined yet, and a
contribution of the putative SAY441PAL ITIM motif could not be
excluded. To investigate this, lysates from clones (upper
panel) or cell lines (lower panel) expressing
the Y429F or the Y441F mutants were probed in Western blot experiments
with an anti-ERK-2 Ab after stimulation with RAM
F(ab')2 or RAM IgG (Fig. 2
). CD5.21 cells and CD5
ITAM.3 cells
were used in parallel as positive and negative controls of inhibition,
respectively. As previously reported, a strong reduction of the upper
band corresponding to phosphorylated ERK-2 was found in CD5.21 cells
upon coligation of the BCR with the wild-type chimera by RAM IgG. This
inhibition was maintained in cells expressing the Y441F mutant. In
contrast, ERK-2 activation was fully restored in CD5
ITAM.3 and
largely in cells expressing the Y429F-mutated chimera. This result
demonstrates that inhibition of BCR coupling to ERK-2 by CD5 is also
governed by the pseudo-ITAM of CD5cyt and requires Y429, but not the
putative SAY441PAL ITIM motif.

Collectively, the previous results showed that CD5 inhibition of Ca2+ and ERK-2 pathways may originate from a unique site of CD5cyt outside an ITIM. This led us to examine whether this region of the molecule could also impair additional important metabolic events such as production of 3'-PtdIns. This pathway is critical in signaling processes downstream the BCR by recruiting at the cell membrane proteins bearing specific PH domains (37). To investigate this, we used a fluorescent selective probe made of GFP fused to the PH domain of the protein kinase AKT, one well-known cellular effector of PI3-K after BCR engagement (38, 39). This probe has been shown to be a very sensitive tool to monitor localized changes in plasma membrane PtdIns 3,4-bisphosphate and PtdIns 3,4,5-P3 levels in living B cells (40).
We first analyzed whether wild-type CD5 could inhibit AKT membrane
relocalization using CD5.21 cells and cells expressing a
Fc
RIIB1-truncated receptor without the cytoplasmic domain (IC1), as
a control. Fig. 3
A shows that
AKT PH-GFP translocation did not occur significantly upon RAM
IgG-induced aggregation of the BCR with the Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt chimera in
CD5.21 cells. No inhibition was observed in IC1 control cells.
Quantitative analysis is shown in Fig. 3
B, in which we
measured the percentage of cells having either a diffuse fluorescent
pattern or a membrane localization of AKT PH-GFP. Only fluorescent
cells exhibiting an unambiguous pattern (usually >70%) were taken
into account. The data clearly showed that the relocalization induced
by RAM F(ab')2 in most CD5.21 cells was totally
suppressed upon coligation of the BCR with CD5cyt. Again, no difference
was observed in IC1 control cells with RAM
F(ab')2 and RAM IgG, both stimuli triggering the
membrane translocation of the probe with the same efficacy. Similar
results were obtained with a BTK PH-GFP probe, although in this case
the translocation was much less apparent than with AKT (not shown).
|
Y429 mediates inhibition of IL-2 production
All the biochemical pathways inhibited by CD5 are critical in
mediating B cell functional responses. Thus, our finding that Y429
played a prominent role in these inhibitory processes prompted us to
analyze the functional consequence of its mutation on inhibition of
BCR-induced IL-2 production by CD5. For this aim, the different
Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt-mutated chimeras were coaggregated with the BCR by RAM
IgG, and IL-2 production obtained under these conditions was compared
(Fig. 4
A). We can see that
IL-2 synthesis was totally inhibited both in CD5.21 cells containing
the wild-type chimera and in the cell line expressing the Y441F mutant.
In contrast, mutation of residue Y429 restored IL-2 production. Similar
results were consistently obtained with the cell clones expressing the
mutated chimeras (not shown).
|
CD5cyt is strongly tyrosine phosphorylated upon its coligation
with the BCR, and we assume in our previous report that this phenomenon
was required to inhibit B cell responses (28). Because
Y429 was essential to block various signaling pathways downstream the
BCR, we therefore assessed its phosphorylation status by measuring
Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt phosphorylation after RAM IgG stimulation of the
different cell mutants (Fig. 4
B). The chimera was
immunoprecipitated with the Fc
RIIB-specific mAb 2.4G2 before probing
with anti-phosphotyrosine mAb 4G10. A strong labeling, not
significantly different from CD5.21 control cells, was observed with
RAM IgG in the two Y441F mutant cell clones, Y441F.1 and Y441F.8, and
in the Y441F.L cell line (upper panel). In contrast,
phosphorylation was almost undetectable in clone Y429F.5 and in the
Y429F.L cell line expressing the Y429F mutant. It was slightly higher
in clone Y429F.6. However, we could calculate from the experiment shown
in the lower panel by scanning densitometry that mutating
residue Y429 removed >90% of CD5cyt tyrosine phosphorylation in this
clone after 2 min of stimulation with RAM IgG. One has to remark in
this work that the pseudo-ITAM-deleted form of Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt, which
was run in parallel, gave a more important residual phosphorylation
than the Y429F mutant, a finding that will be discussed below. No
background phosphorylation was observed with the tailless IC1 mutant.
Finally, this experiment also showed no further increase of the Y429F
mutant phosphorylation for a longer period of stimulation, excluding a
delay in the phosphorylation. Similar results, establishing the key
role played by Y429 in CD5cyt phosphorylation in B cells, were found in
Daudi human B cells upon coaggregation of their membrane IgM with the
Y429-mutated chimera (not shown). Hence, phosphorylation of CD5cyt
induced by BCR stimulation is essentially controlled by residue
Y429.

|
|---|
The relationship between CD5 tyrosine phosphorylation and BCR
inhibition has not been firmly established yet. Thus, our finding that
mutation of Y429 to phenylalanine strongly antagonized CD5 tyrosine
phosphorylation as well as its inhibitory action on BCR stimulation
demonstrates that the phosphorylation of this residue is at the onset
of the CD5-inhibitory pathway. A more significant residual
phosphorylation of CD5cyt was found in chimera lacking the entire
pseudo-ITAM motif (Ref. 28 and Fig. 4
). One hypothesis is that in this
case conformational changes are induced by the ITAM deletion, exposing
Y463, the remaining tyrosine at the C terminus of CD5cyt, in a more
accessible position. However, it should be stressed that our finding
with the Y429F mutant does not necessarily mean that in normal
conditions with the wild-type CD5 molecule Y463 is not phosphorylated.
Indeed, as shown for CD19 (41), Y429 might be necessary as
a starting point to induce sequential phosphorylation of CD5,
presumably by Lyn, which appears to be required for CD5 phosphorylation
in B cells (42). Mutational analysis of Y463 in our system
would be necessary to clarify this point. Interestingly, the recent
studies of Dennehy et al. (31) and Vila et al.
(32), analyzing by point mutations the tyrosine
phosphorylation sites of CD5cyt in Jurkat T cells, showed that the
situation was most likely different in this cellular model. They found
that Y463 seemed to be phosphorylated at greater stoichiometry than
Y429, a result that might reflect the parallel observation that both
could bind Lck in vitro (31). Whether Lyn only adapts to
Y429 in the DNEY motif of CD5 is thus a workable possibility. Whatever
it may be, there is no doubt that both in B cells (this study) and in T
cells (31, 32), Y441 is not phosphorylated. Thus, our
parallel observations that Y441 is dispensable for inhibition at
biochemical and functional levels demonstrate that CD5 is an
ITIM-independent inhibitory receptor in B cells.
Our findings raise the attractive possibility that CD5-inhibitory
effects in B cells originate from the Src autophosphorylation site-like
sequence of CD5 only. This must be compared with the situation found
with the Fc
RIIB1 receptor, in which multiple distinct sites
participate in inhibitory signaling. Thus, it was recently shown that
two tyrosine residues within the cytoplasmic domain, one in the ITIM,
the other at the C terminus, could function uniquely by recruiting SHIP
and supposedly Grb2, respectively (36). Moreover, an
inhibitory function was also attributed to the transmembrane domain of
the Fc
RIIB1 molecule that could mediate CD19 dephosphorylation
(43). CD19 has been shown to participate in PI3-K
recruitment and activation of related pathways, such as the AKT pathway
(44), and also to up-regulate the
Ca2+ response (45) and the
mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade (46) after BCR
stimulation. Mechanistically, the inhibitory effect of Fc
RIIB1 on
CD19 phosphorylation is not yet understood, but our chimeras encompass
the transmembrane Fc
RIIB1 receptor domain. An inhibition of BCR
signaling by this domain independently of CD5cyt was thus questionable.
We checked CD19 phosphorylation after immunoprecipitation and found
that all our CD5 constructs reduced CD19 phosphorylation similarly when
coligated with the BCR (not shown). This was true in particular for
Y429F cells, in which the inhibitory effects of CD5 were strongly
reduced, demonstrating that this residue controls BCR signaling
independently of CD19 phosphorylation. One can just notice that BCR
signaling (see, for instance, AKT translocation in Fig. 3
C)
was never totally restored by the Y429F mutation, suggesting
conceivably a small participation of the Fc
RIIB transmembrane region
through CD19 dephosphorylation. Constructions with the CD5
transmembrane domain are now being established to stamp out this
parameter.
A primary mechanism by which the Fc
RIIB1 receptor inhibits ERK-2
activation involves the recruitment and the tyrosine phosphorylation of
the Ras regulatory adapter DOK-1 onto SHIP molecules bound to the
phosphorylated ITIM (47). We previously reported that
SHIP-1 could not be precipitated with phosphorylated CD5 molecules, in
agreement with the present results showing no phosphorylation of the
putative ITIM in our chimera. Accordingly, we found that DOK-1 was not
phosphorylated and did not associate with SHIP-1 after Fc
RIIB-CD5cyt
coligation with the BCR (J. Harriague, unpublished results). Thus,
another mechanism(s) must be responsible. Inhibition of PI3-K
metabolism by CD5, as suggested by our results with AKT, might be very
important, as we know in particular that a molecule like the adapter
Gab1 has a PtdIns 3,4,5-P3-specific PH domain and
links the BCR to the PI3-K/AKT and the ERK-2 signaling pathways
(48, 49, 50). Moreover, BTK also links the BCR to the
Ca2+ response in a PtdIns
3,4,5-P3-dependent manner (17). So,
any alteration of membrane PtdIns 3,4,5-P3 would
affect both pathways similarly and could explain all the inhibitory
effects seen with CD5. From this point of view, CD5 is not very
different from the Fc
RIIB1 receptor, in which degradation of PtdIns
3,4,5-P3 is also crucial for inhibition
(51). This highly contrasts with their use of totally
different cytoplasmic tyrosine-phosphorylated motifs to trigger this
effect.
The demonstration that such inhibition of 3'-PtdIns metabolism is really central in the inhibitory action of CD5 will deserve additional works that should be aimed mainly at defining the precise mechanism(s) that mediates this metabolic effect. This is currently under investigation. Nevertheless, it is important to mention in this work that the Src protein tyrosine kinase Lyn that has been shown to exert a negative effect on BCR stimulation (4, 42, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57) inhibits the PI3-kinase pathway and AKT activation (39, 58). An attractive hypothesis would be therefore an increased recruitment of Lyn molecules in the vicinity of the BCR upon its coligation with CD5. This would explain the central and essential role played by the Src-like motif of CD5 as a target, and possibly a binding site for Lyn. Additionally, we cannot exclude that phosphorylated CD5 may act as a "sink" to recruit activation molecules away from the BCR because it has been shown to bind various proteins involved in its signaling pathway (29). Whatever it may be, one can conclude that CD5 uses an alternative modus operandi, different from the common ITIM paradigm, to restrain B cell responses.
