Intracellular signaling proteins are very often regulated by site-specific phosphorylation. For example, growth factor receptors in eukaryotic cells contain intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and use inter- and intra-molecular interactions to recruit and orient potential protein substrates for phosp

β¦ Synopsis
Antigen-receptor signaling requires Src-family kinases to initiate tyrosine phosphorylation. CD45 dephosphorylates the inhibitory site in Src-family kinases before antigen-receptor engagement and thus serves to 'prime' the kinases. It has been unclear why CD45 does not also dephosphorylate 'activated' kinases or motifs within the cytoplasmic domains of antigenreceptors and thus prevent signal transduction. Recent reports raise the possibility that CD45 is excluded from engaged antigen-receptors by mechanisms that may include the formation of lipid microdomains.
