Abstract

ZAP-70 is a tyrosine kinase essential for T cell immune responses. Upon engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR), ZAP-70 is recruited to the specialized plasma membrane domains, becomes activated, and is released to phosphorylate its laterally segregated targets. A shift in ZAP-70 distribution at the plasma membrane is recognized as a critical step in TCR signal transduction and amplification. However, the molecular mechanism supporting stimulation-dependent plasma membrane compartmentalization of ZAP-70 remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified previously uncharacterized lipidation (S-acylation) of ZAP-70 using Acyl-Biotin Exchange assay, a technique that selectively captures S-acylated proteins. We found that this posttranslational modification of ZAP-70 is dispensable for its enzymatic activity. However, the lipidation-deficient mutant of ZAP-70 failed to propagate the TCR pathway suggesting that S-acylation is essential for ZAP-70 interaction with its protein substrates. The kinetics of ZAP-70 S-acylation were consistent with TCR signaling events indicating that agonist-induced S-acylation is a part of the signaling mechanism controlling T cell activation and function. Taken together, our results suggest that TCR-induced S-acylation of ZAP-70 can serve as a critical regulator of T cell-mediated immunity.

ZAP-70 (“CD3ζ-chain-associated protein kinase 70”) is one of the first proteins activated upon T cell receptor (TCR) engagement by the peptide/major histocompatibility complex on the surface the antigen-presenting cell (1Brownlie R.J. Zamoyska R. T cell receptor signalling networks: Branched, diversified and bounded.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2013; 13: 257-269Crossref PubMed Scopus (276) Google Scholar). Stimulation of the TCR leads to activation of the Src-family kinase Lck, which then phosphorylates immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of TCR-associated CD3ζ-chain (1Brownlie R.J. Zamoyska R. T cell receptor signalling networks: Branched, diversified and bounded.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2013; 13: 257-269Crossref PubMed Scopus (276) Google Scholar, 2Salmond R.J. Filby A. Qureshi I.

Rev. 2009; 228: 9-22Crossref PubMed Scopus (245) Google Scholar). Double phosphorylation of ITAMs creates a high-affinity docking site for Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of ZAP-70 resulting in its recruitment to the TCR–CD3 complex. Binding to ITAMs triggers conformational changes that make ZAP-70 more accessible to phosphorylation by Lck and subsequently leads to ZAP-70 autophosphorylation and full activation (3Wang H.

Immunol. 2018; 36: 127-156Crossref PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar). Activated ZAP-70 is released from ITAMs and proceeds to target its effectors, primarily membrane-bound scaffolding proteins LAT and SLP-76 (6Su X. Ditlev J.A. Hui E. Xing W. Banjade S. Okrut J. King D.S. Taunton J. Rosen M.K. Vale R.D. Phase separation of signaling molecules promotes T cell receptor signal transduction.Science. 2016; 352: 595-599Crossref PubMed Scopus (379) Google Scholar). Phosphorylation of LAT and SLP-76 nucleates the assembly of the multiprotein signaling complex, which further propagates the downstream TCR signaling cascade resulting in activation of the phospholipase PLC-γ1, cytoplasmic calcium release from endoplasmic reticulum, and, ultimately, transcriptional responses associated with T cell activation and clonal expansion (6Su X.

A cycle of Zap70 kinase activation and release from the TCR amplifies and disperses antigenic stimuli.Nat. Immunol. 2017; 18: 86-95Crossref PubMed Scopus (43) Google Scholar). Thus, the signaling function of the ZAP-70 kinase relies on two temporally and spatially segregated events. During the first step, the phosphorylated TCR–CD3 complex amplifies the initial antigenic signal through repeated cycles of ZAP-70 recruitment, activation, and release (9Katz Z.B. Novotná L. Blount A. Lillemeier B.F. A cycle of Zap70 kinase activation and release from the TCR amplifies and disperses antigenic stimuli.Nat. Immunol. 2017; 18: 86-95Crossref PubMed Scopus (43) Google Scholar). Through the next step, activated ZAP-70 translocates into distinct plasma membrane domains where it can access its protein substrates (9Katz Z.B. Novotná L. Blount A. Lillemeier B.F. A cycle of Zap70 kinase activation and release from the TCR amplifies and disperses antigenic stimuli.Nat. Immunol. 2017; 18: 86-95Crossref PubMed Scopus (43) Google Scholar, 10Lillemeier B.F.

Newly generated T cell receptor microclusters initiate and sustain T cell activation by recruitment of Zap70 and SLP-76.Nat. Immunol. 2005; 6: 1253-1262Crossref PubMed Scopus (534) Google Scholar). This compartmentalization of early phosphorylation events not only ensures rapid TCR signal amplification and distribution but can also help to avoid premature or unspecific T cell activation. It is not clear, however, what mechanism prevents activated and decoupled ZAP-70 from being dispersed back into the cytoplasm and promotes its prompt translocation to the laterally segregated downstream targets. It has been proposed that both plasma membrane anchoring and lateral distribution of proteins within the plasma membrane can be mediated by S-acylation—reversible lipidation of cysteine thiols with long-chain fatty acids (12Chamberlain L.H.

In particular, this posttranslational modification (also referred to as palmitoylation) was found to be essential for biological activity of two immediate ZAP-70 effectors, Lck and LAT (14Kabouridis P.S.

A. 2010; 107: 22050-22054Crossref PubMed Scopus (344) Google Scholar). It has been shown that, although the acylation-deficient mutant of Lck was still catalytically active, it was unable to phosphorylate ITAMs and failed to activate ZAP-70, thus leading to abrogated TCR signaling (14Kabouridis P.S.
