Abstract excerpt
Despite the importance of the immune adaptor SLP-76 in T-cell immunity, it has been unclear whether SLP-76 directly self-associates to form higher order oligomers for T-cell activation. In this study, we show that SLP-76 self-associates in response to T-cell receptor ligation as mediated by the N-terminal sterile α motif (SAM) domain. SLP-76 co-precipitated alternately tagged SLP-76 in response to anti-CD3...
