 AB    CD45 is a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase required for signal
       transduction through the Ag receptor complexes of T and B lymphocytes.
       Herein, we demonstrate that immobilized mAbs to the external domain of
       CD45 induce rapid and dramatic morphologic changes in a variety of T
       cell lines, including CD8+ cytotoxic clones. CD45-induced morphologic
       changes can be inhibited by the cytoskeletal inhibitors cytochalasin D
       and E and by the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A.
       Consistent with the requirement for tyrosine kinase activity, tyrosine
       phosphorylation of proteins at about 60 to 75 kDa and 115 to 130 kDa is
       increased upon engagement with immobilized anti-CD45 mAb with kinetics
       paralleling the observed changes in morphology. The phosphorylation of
       these proteins is inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitors at
       concentrations that also inhibit changes in morphology. The
       phosphoproteins induced when cells are added to immobilized anti-CD45
       are co-immunoprecipitated with p56lck, suggesting that this tyrosine
       kinase might play a role in the phosphorylation of these proteins.
       Consistent with this, there is no increase in the phosphorylation of
       these proteins in p56lck-deficient CTLL-2 cells in response to
       immobilized anti-CD45 mAb. An important role for p56lck in the
       morphologic pathway is further supported by the observation that
       p56lck-deficient human J.CAM1.6 cells, in contrast to the parental
       Jurkat line, cannot be induced to undergo morphologic changes. Taken
       together, these results suggest a possible role for CD45 in coordinating
       a cytoskeletal remodeling cascade that may be important in cell
       activation.
