The ‘tunable activation thresholds’ model for signal transduction through the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 signaling complex proposes that rapid cycles of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are integral to regulating the frequency of protein–protein interaction, thus having considerable influence over the activation of downstream signaling pathways. Co-temporal activation of kinases and phosphatases could serve to modulate the ongoing signaling response, depending on the relative balance of their opposing enzymatic activities. Although recent reports have addressed the mechanisms by which specific kinase/phosphatase pairs contribute to the initiation and termination of signaling, we sought a more global understanding of the ability of the kinase/phosphatase balance to regulate, or “tune”, the very proximal steps of TCR signaling in primary human T cells. Herein, we provide biochemical evidence that phosphotyrosine induction via the TCR is subject to fine-tuning based on the overall activity of kinases and phosphatases relative to one another, leading to cycles of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, with implications for developing the next generation of immunotherapeutic agents.
