摘要：SignificanceIntracellular signaling during complex cell-cell interactions, such as between immune cells, provides essential cues leading to cell responses. Global characterization of these signaling events is critical for systematically exploring and understanding how they eventually control cell fate. However, proteome-wide characterization of intercellular signaling under physiologically relevant conditions involving multiple interacting receptors during cell-cell interactions remains challenging. We developed an integrated proteomic strategy for quantitatively profiling intercellular-signaling events mediated by protein phosphorylation and protein-protein interaction. We applied this approach to determine the influence of a single receptor-ligand pair during T-cell stimulation by blocking the interaction of the CD28 costimulatory receptor with its ligand. This approach is generally applicable to other transmembrane receptors involved in signaling during complex cell interactions. Systematic characterization of intercellular signaling approximating the physiological conditions of stimulation that involve direct cell-cell contact is challenging. We describe a proteomic strategy to analyze physiological signaling mediated by the T-cell costimulatory receptor CD28. We identified signaling pathways activated by CD28 during direct cell-cell contact by global analysis of protein phosphorylation. To define immediate CD28 targets, we used phosphorylated forms of the CD28 cytoplasmic region to obtain the CD28 interactome. The interaction profiles of selected CD28-interacting proteins were further characterized in vivo for amplifying the CD28 interactome. The combination of the global phosphorylation and interactome analyses revealed broad regulation of CD28 and its interactome by phosphorylation. Among the cellular phosphoproteins influenced by CD28 signaling, CapZ-interacting protein (CapZIP), a regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, was implicated by functional studies. The combinatorial approach applied herein is widely applicable for characterizing signaling networks associated with membrane receptors with short cytoplasmic tails.
