Abstract

E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b.plays a crucial role in T cell activation and tolerance induction. However, the molecular mechanism by which Cbl-b.inhibits T cell activation remains unclear. Here, we report that Cbl-b.does not inhibit PI3K but rather suppresses TCR/CD28-induced inactivation of Pten. The elevated Akt activity in Cbl-b(-/-) T cells is therefore due to heightened Pten inactivation. Suppression of Pten inactivation in T cells by Cbl-b.is achieved by impeding the association of Pten with Nedd4, which targets Pten K13 for K63-linked polyubiquitination. Consistent with this finding, introducing Nedd4 deficiency into Cbl-b(-/-) mice abrogates hyper-T cell responses caused by the loss of Cbl-b. Hence, our data demonstrate that Cbl-b.inhibits T cell activation by suppressing Pten inactivation independently of its ubiquitin ligase activity.
