MYO1F regulates T-cell activation and glycolytic metabolism by promoting the acetylation of GAPDH.

ABSTRACT: Proper cellular metabolism in T cells is critical for a productive immune response. However, when dysregulated by intrinsic or extrinsic metabolic factors, T cells may contribute to a wide spectrum of diseases, such as cancers and autoimmune diseases. However, the metabolic regulation of T cells remains incompletely understood. Here, we show that MYO1F is required for human and mouse T-cell activation after TCR stimulation and that T-cell-specific Myo1f knockout mice exhibit an increased tumor burden and attenuated EAE severity due to impaired T-cell activation in vivo. Mechanistically, after TCR stimulation, MYO1F is phosphorylated by LCK at tyrosines 607 and 634, which is critical for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) acetylation at Lys84, 86 and 227 mediated by α-TAT1, wh
