SLP-76-ADAP adaptor module regulates LFA-1 mediated costimulation and T cell motility.

ABSTRACT: Although adaptor ADAP (FYB) and its binding to SLP-76 has been implicated in TcR-induced "inside-out" signaling for LFA-1 activation in T cells, little is known regarding its role in LFA-1-mediated "outside-in" signaling. In this study, we demonstrate that ADAP and SLP-76-ADAP binding are coupled to LFA-1 costimulation of IL-2 production, F-actin clustering, cell polarization, and T cell motility. LFA-1 enhancement of anti-CD3-induced IL-2 production was completely dependent on SLP-76-ADAP binding. Further, anti-CD3 was found to require CD11a ligation by antibody or ICAM1 to cause T cell polarization. ADAP augmented this polarization induced by anti-CD3/CD11a, but not by anti-CD3 alone. ADAP expression with LFA-1 ligation alone was sufficient to polarize T cells directly and to increase T
