LAT phospho Y171

Function

Required for TCR (T-cell antigen receptor)- and pre-TCR-mediated signaling, both in mature T-cells and during their development (PubMed:23514740, PubMed:25907557). Involved in FCGR3 (low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III)-mediated signaling in natural killer cells and FCER1 (high affinity immunoglobulin epsilon receptor)-mediated signaling in mast cells. Couples activation of these receptors and their associated kinases with distal intracellular events such as mobilization of intracellular calcium stores, PKC activation, MAPK activation or cytoskeletal reorganization through the recruitment of PLCG1, GRB2, GRAP2, and other signaling molecules.

Involvement in disease

Immunodeficiency 52

IMD52

An autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by T-cell abnormalities, resulting in severe combined immunodeficiency, autoimmune disease, progressive lymphopenia and hypogammaglobulinemia, and lymphoproliferation with splenomegaly. Patients develop severe recurrent infections from infancy.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated on tyrosines by ZAP70 upon TCR activation, or by SYK upon other immunoreceptor activation; which leads to the recruitment of multiple signaling molecules. Is one of the most prominently tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins detected following TCR engagement. May be dephosphorylated by PTPRJ. Phosphorylated by ITK leading to the recruitment of VAV1 to LAT-containing complexes.

Palmitoylation of Cys-26 and Cys-29 is required for raft targeting and efficient phosphorylation.

'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitinated by TRAF6.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in thymus, T-cells, NK cells, mast cells and, at lower levels, in spleen. Present in T-cells but not B-cells (at protein level).

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Single-pass type III membrane protein
  • Present in lipid rafts.
