T-cell antigen receptor stimulation results in recruitment to the zeta chain and phosphorylation both of the syk family protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 and of the Shc adaptor protein, which transduces activating signals to Ras. Both ZAP-70 and Ras are required for T-cell activation. We have investigated the functional link between these two molecules in TCR signaling. She was found to associate with ZAP-70 in response to TCR triggering. This association was dependent on the presence of the aminoterminal phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain of She. The analysis of She binding to a potential PTB domain binding site on ZAP-70 confirmed the interaction of the She PTB domain with ZAP-70 and identified the ZAP-70 phosphotyrosine residue involved in this interaction. To test the role of the She PTB domain in transducing TCR derived signals we measured the effects of the isolated She PTB domain on the activation of the T-cell specific transcription factor NF-AT. The isolated She PTB domain was designed to compete non productively with endogenous She for binding to up-stream tyrosine phosphorylated proteins and thus interfere with coupling to regulators of Ras activation. A significant inhibition of NF-AT activation by TCR triggering was observed, showing a functional involvement of She in TCR signaling through its PTB domain and suggesting an important role for She association with ZAP-70.
