Cell receptors and cell signalling [PDF]
Molecular Pathology, 2000 All cells in a multicellular organism are constantly exposed to a variety of extracellular signals that they need to interpret and translate into an appropriate response to their environment. These signals can be soluble factors generated locally (for example, synaptic transmission) or distantly (for example, hormones and growth factors), ligands on ...

Destabilizing the autoinhibitory conformation of Zap70 induces up-regulation of inhibitory receptors and T cell unresponsiveness. [PDF]
, 2017 Zap70 plays a critical role in normal T cell development and T cell function. However, little is known about how perturbation of allosteric autoinhibitory mechanisms in Zap70 impacts T cell biology.

Rac activation by the T-cell receptor inhibits T cell migration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 T cell migration is essential for immune responses and inflammation. Activation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) triggers a migration stop signal to facilitate interaction with antigen-presenting cells and cell retention at inflammatory sites, but the ...

Robust T cell activation requires an eIF3-driven burst in T cell receptor translation
eLife, 2021 Activation of T cells requires a rapid surge in cellular protein synthesis. However, the role of translation initiation in the early induction of specific genes remains unclear. Here, we show human translation initiation factor eIF3 interacts with select

Germline T cell receptor exchange results in physiological T cell development and function
Nature Communications, 2023 The currently available transgenic T cell receptor (TCR) models represent high affinity antigen-TCR interactions. Authors here present an alternative approach to target an exogenous TCR into the physiological Trac locus in the germline of mice, which ...

Intrathymic expression of Flt3 ligand enhances thymic recovery after irradiation [PDF]
, 2008 Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) requires conditioning treatments such as irradiation, which leads to a severely delayed recovery of T cell immunity and constitutes a major complication of this therapy.

G-Protein Coupled Receptor 18 Contributes to Establishment of the CD8 Effector T Cell Compartment. [PDF]
, 2018 The requirements for effector and memory CD8 T cell development are incompletely understood. Recent work has revealed a role for G-protein coupled receptor 18 (GPR18) in establishment of the intestinal CD8αα intraepithelial lymphocyte compartment.

IRAP-dependent endosomal T cell receptor signalling is essential for T cell responses
Nature Communications, 2020 T cell receptors (TCR) are internalized when activated by their ligands. Here the authors show that the internalized TCRs are localized to endosomes expressing IRAP and Syntaxin 6 to maintain intracellular signalling capacity, whose importance is shown ...
