ABSTRACT
4-1BB is a member of the TNFR superfamily, which contributes to the activation of signaling pathways required for the survival of activated and memory T cells. We have shown previously that TRAF1, an adaptor protein recruited to 4-1BB, is required for 4-1BB-mediated CD8 T cell survival in vivo. With the use of a proteomics approach in primary T cells, we have identified LSP1 as a novel protein recruited to the 4-1BB signaling complex in a TRAF1-dependent manner. Further characterization of the interaction between TRAF1 and LSP1 revealed that LSP1 requires the TRAF-N domain of TRAF1 for direct association. Similarly to TRAF1(-/-) T cells, LSP1(-/-) T cells exhibit impaired ERK activation following stimulation through 4-1BB and consequently, are unable to down-modulate expression of the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bim. Moreover, we demonstrate that the absence of LSP1 expression leads to defective expansion and survival of T cells in response to 4-1BB stimulation. Thus, we have identified LSP1 as a new mediator involved in 4-1BB signaling and T cell survival. Collectively, our work shows that TRAF1 and LSP1 cooperate downstream of 4-1BB to activate ERK signaling and down-modulate the levels of Bim leading to enhanced T cell survival.
