Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2 (SH2 domain containing leukocyte protein of 76kDa), also known as LCP2 or SLP-76, is a

natural killer cells.[8]

Structure and function

The amino acid sequence of the protein has a central domain with a high concentration of prolines, as well as domains at the amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal of the amino acid sequence. The PDB file 1H3H depicts the

ZAP-70, a tyrosine kinase. Along with the LAT (linker for activation of T cells) adaptor protein, SLP-76 is essential to nearly all downstream effects from T-cell receptor signals. SLP-76, LAT, and Gads together combine into protein complexes, typically with LAT at the center and SLP-76 proteins on the outside. These complexes associate into larger microclusters that activate a multitude of signaling pathways.[9][10] The proteins that bind SLP-76 are essential to the production and secretion of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton in T-cells, which is an important part of T-cell division and proliferation.[6]

Studies using SLP-76-deficient T cell lines or mice have provided strong evidence that SLP-76 plays a positive role more generally in promoting T cell development and activation, as well as mast cell and platelet function. SLP-76 is critical in the signaling from the pre-TCR that shifts T-cell developing thymocytes from the double-negative (DN) stage to the double-positive (DP) stage. Allelic exclusion of the second locus of the TCRβ chain is also dependent on signaling from the TCRβ chain that is first expressed, involving SLP-76 as a key intermediate.[6]

SLP-76 is also important in natural killer (NK) cells, in the signaling pathways of the NK cell receptors (NKRs). The SH2 domain on the C-terminus binds HPK-1, a serine-threonine kinase, and the adhesion and degranulation-promoting adaptor protein (ADAP) also known as FYB. Both these proteins are common to regular T-cells as well, but have unique downstream signaling effects in NK cells relating to their distribution across different tissues. Studies using mutations in the SH2 domain of mice show that it produces an accumulation of invariant NK cells in primary lymphoid organs like the thymus and in peripheral lymph nodes, with a simultaneous reduction of these cells in the livers and spleens.[11]
