We have previously reported that different putative CD4 ligands (anti- CD4
antibody, gp160 from HIV, synthetic peptides analogous to the residues
35-46 of HLA class II beta1 chain and residues 134-148 of HLA class II
beta2 chain) down-regulate LFA-1-dependent adhesion between CD4+ T cells
and HLA class II+ B cells, and also activate p56Ick and the
phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3-kinase) associated with the CD4- p56Ick
complex. It was demonstrated that the latter activation was dependent on
the CD4-p56Ick association. Since these results suggest a relationship
between p56Ick and PI3-kinase, we investigated whether PI3- kinase was
tyrosine phosphorylated after CD4 binding and whether this phosphorylation
was also dependent on the CD4-p56Ick association. We show herein that CD4
binding increased tyrosine phosphorylation of the catalytic subunit p110 of
PI3-kinase but not of the p85 subunit. Association between p56Ick and
PI3-kinase was constitutive, and was not modified after CD4 binding. In
contrast, p110 tyrosine phosphorylation was inducible, transient and
dependent on the CD4-p56Ick association. The role of the tyrosine
phosphorylation of p110-PI3-kinase following ligand binding to CD4 is
unknown. We speculate that this event could link the activation of p56Ick
and of PI3-kinase after CD4 binding.
