The leukocyte sialyloglycoprotein CD43 exhibits features of a signal transducing molecule and is thought to be important for T-cell activation and adhesion. However, cellular biochemical events in which CD43 participates remain poorly understood. Here we provide evidence that CD43 regulates tyrosine phosphorylation of a specific substrate in T cells. A 93-kD tyrosine phosphoprotein was identified specifically in the CD43(+) T-cell line CEM, but not in their CD43-deficient counterparts derived by gene targeting. The 93-kD phosphoprotein was detected in the CD43-deficient CEM cells after transfection with CD43 cDNA, and it could be specifically phosphorylated in lysates from the CD43-deficient cells by incubation with a CD43 immunoprecipitate obtained from the CD43(+) cells. Expression of CD43 in HeLa cell transfectants was associated with the appearance of novel phosphoproteins including one with a molecular weight of approximately 93 kD, confirming that tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular substrates results specifically from CD43 expression. We conclude that CD43 regulates tyrosine phosphorylation of a 93-kD T-cell substrate. (C) 1995 by The American Society of Hematology.
