โฆ Synopsis
xamination of contemporary immunology textbooks 1,2 and review articles 3 for the relationship between the CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase and Src-family protein tyrosine kinases yields a simple and straightforward story: CD45 dephosphorylates the C-terminal negative regulatory tyrosine common to Src-family members, resulting in an increase in activity. Because Src-family kinases (Lck in particular) are essential for proximal signaling via the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR), this neatly explains why CD45-deficient T cells have profound defects in TCR-initiated activation events [4][5][6][7][8] . Although the simplicity of this widely accepted model is attractive, it has a major problem: it does not explain the experimental observations of many groups who have analyzed the interplay between CD45 and Src-family kinases in vivo.

D45 is the major transmembrane tyrosine phosphatase of the immune system and is highly expressed by all hematopoietic cells 1 . The best described role for CD45 is in antigen receptor signal transduction. In this case, the phosphatase activity of CD45 appears to be required for activation of Src-fam
## Abstract We examined the consequences of vโCrk expression in mouse embryo fibroblasts deficient Src family kinases or p130CAS. We found that Src kinases are essential for p130CAS/vโCrk signaling leading to FAK phosphorylation and cell migration in which Src is likely to mediate the focal adhesio
