Popis: CD45 is dynamically repositioned within lipid rafts and the immune synapse during T cell activation, although the molecular consequences of CD45 repositioning remain unclear. In this study we examine the role of CD45 membrane compartmentalization in regulating murine T cell activation. We find that raft-localized CD45 antagonizes IL-2 production by opposing processive TCR signals, whereas raft-excluded CD45 promotes ERK-dependent polarized synaptic lipid raft clustering and IL-2 production. We propose that these dual CD45 activities ensure that only robust TCR signals proceed, whereas signals meeting threshold requirements are potentiated. Our findings highlight membrane compartmentalization as a key regulator of CD45 function and elucidate a novel signal transduction pathway by which raft-excluded CD45 positively regulates T cell activation.
