Engagement of the T cell with Ag on an APC results in a series of immediate signaling events emanating from the stimulation of the TCR. These events include the induced phosphorylation of a number of cellular proteins with a subsequent increase in intracellular calcium and the restructuring of the microtubule and actin cytoskeleton within the T cell. This restructuring of the cytoskeleton culminates in the polarization of the T cell's secretory apparatus toward the engaging APC, allowing the T cell to direct secretion of cytokines toward the appropriate APC. This polarization can be monitored by analyzing the position of the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC), as it moves toward the interface of the T cell and APC. The requirements for MTOC polarization were examined at a single-cell level by studying the interaction of a Jurkat cell line expressing a fluorescently labeled MTOC with Staphylococcal enterotoxin superantigen-bound Raji B cell line, which served as the APC. We found that repolarization of the MTOC substantially followed fluxes in calcium. We also used immobilized anti-TCR mAb and Jurkat signaling mutants, defective in TCR-induced calcium increases, to determine whether signaling components that are necessary for a calcium response also play a role in MTOC polarization. We found that zeta-associated protein-70 as well as its substrate adaptor proteins linker for activation of T cells and Src homology 2 domain-containing leukocyte protein-76 are required for MTOC polarization. Moreover, our studies revealed that a calcium-dependent event not requiring calcineurin or calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase is required for TCR-induced polarization of the MTOC.
