Antigen recognition and activation of T-cells

T-cells can be distinguished from other lymphocyte types, such as B

cells and NK cells by the presence of T cell receptors (TCR)

The TCR is a molecule found on the surface of T cells that is, in general, responsible for recognizing antigens bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules

Subsets of T cells: T helper cell (TH cells) assist other

Subsets of T cells:
T helper cell (TH cells) assist other white

blood cells in immunologic processes, including maturation of B cells into plasma cells and memory B cells, and activation of cytotoxic T cells and macrophages, among other functions (CD4+)
Cytotoxic T cells (TC cells, or CTLs) destroy virally infected cells and tumor cells, and are also implicated in transplant rejection (CD8+)
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), formerly known as suppressor T cells, are crucial for the maintenance of immunological tolerance (CD4+CD25+FoxP3+)
Natural killer T cells (NKT cells) are a special kind of lymphocyte that that recognize glycolipid antigen presented by a molecule called CD1d
γδ T cells (gamma delta T cells) represent a small subset of T cells (2% of total T cells) that possess a distinct T cell receptor (TCR) on their surface and rapidly respond to a set of non-peptidic phosphorylated isoprenoid precursors, collectively named phosphoantigens (isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and its isomer dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP))
Memory T cells are a subset of antigen-specific T cells that comprise two subtypes: central memory T cells (TCM cells) and effector memory T cells (TEM cells).

the transmembrane tail of CD4

CD45 - The transmembrane tail of which functions as a Tyrosine phosphatase
Zap70 - Binds to ITAM sequences upon phosphorylation by Lck and Fyn

Src (pronounced "sarc" as it is short for sarcoma) is a

proto-oncogene encoding a tyrosine kinase originally discovered by J.Michael Bishop and Harold E. Varmus, for which they won the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
This gene is similar to the v-src gene of Rous sarcoma virus
v-src lacks the C-terminal inhibitory phosphorylation site (tyrosine-527), and is therefore constitutively active

In resting normal T-cells (a), Csk is present in lipid rafts

In resting normal T-cells (a), Csk is present in lipid rafts

through interaction with phospho-Tyr-317 in Cbp/PAG.
This imposes a tonic inhibition of T-cell activation through Csk-mediated phosphorylation of the Lck regulatory site (Tyr-505).
Engagement of the TCR (b) results in dephosphorylation of Cbp by an unknown PTPase, dissociation of Csk from lipid rafts and displacement from its substrate Lck, leading to activation of Lck and allowing for initiation of the TCR-induced tyrosine-phosphorylation cascade.
However, after 2±5 min of activation (c), Cbp/PAG Tyr-317 is re-phosphorylated by Lck and/or Fyn thereby recruiting Csk back into lipid rafts.
this terminates Lck and Fyn activity and turns off TCR signalling.

ZAP-70 could phosphorylate the transmembrane protein LAT (linker of activated T

cells).
LAT localizes to lipid rafts (also known as glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains or GEMs) and acts as a docking site for SH2 domain-containing proteins
LAT has been shown to interact with SHB, PLCG1, GRAP2, ZAP-70, GRAP, Grb2, PIK3R1, ITK, MAP4K1 and VAV1.
