Abstract
The casein kinase 2 (CK2) complex has garnered extensive attention over the past decades as a potential therapeutic target for diverse human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, due to its pivotal roles in eukaryotic growth, differentiation, and metabolic homeostasis. While CK2 is also considered a promising antifungal target, its role in fungal pathogens remains unexplored. In this study, we investigated the functions and regulatory mechanisms of the CK2 complex in Cryptococcus neoformans, a major cause of fungal meningitis. The cryptococcal CK2 complex consists of a single catalytic subunit, Cka1, and two regulatory subunits, Ckb1 and Ckb2. Our findings show that Cka1 plays a primary role as a protein kinase, while Ckb1 and Ckb2 have major and minor regulatory functions, respectively, in growth, cell cycle control, morphogenesis, stress response, antifungal drug resistance, and virulence factor production. Interestingly, triple mutants lacking all three subunits (cka1Δ ckb1Δ ckb2Δ) exhibited more severe phenotypic defects than the cka1Δ mutant alone, suggesting that Ckb1/2 may have Cka1-independent functions. In a murine model of systemic cryptococcosis, cka1Δ and cka1Δ ckb1Δ ckb2Δ mutants showed severely reduced virulence. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic analyses further revealed that the CK2 complex controls a wide array of effector proteins involved in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, nutrient metabolisms, and stress responses. Most notably, CK2 disruption led to dysregulation of key signaling cascades central to C. neoformans pathogenicity, including the Hog1, Mpk1 MAPKs, cAMP/PKA, and calcium/calcineurin signaling pathways. In summary, our study provides novel insights into the multifaceted roles of the fungal CK2 complex and presents a compelling case for targeting it in the development of new antifungal drugs.IMPORTANCEThe casein kinase 2 (CK2) complex, crucial for eukaryotic growth, differentiation, and metabolic regulation, presents a promising therapeutic target for various human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Its potential as an antifungal target is further highlighted in this study, which explores CK2's functions in C. neoformans, a key fungal meningitis pathogen. The CK2 complex in C. neoformans, comprising the Cka1 catalytic subunit and Ckb1/2 regulatory subunits, is integral to processes like growth, cell cycle, morphogenesis, stress response, drug resistance, and virulence. Our findings of CK2's role in regulating critical signaling pathways, including Hog1, Mpk1 MAPKs, cAMP/PKA, and calcium/calcineurin, underscore its importance in C. neoformans pathogenicity. This study provides valuable insights into the fungal CK2 complex, reinforcing its potential as a target for novel antifungal drug development and pointing out a promising direction for creating new antifungal agents.

Abstract
The protein kinase CK2 (CK2) family encompasses a small number of acidophilic serine/threonine kinases that phosphorylate substrates involved in numerous biological processes including apoptosis, cell proliferation, and the DNA damage response. CK2 has also been implicated in many human malignancies and other disorders including Alzheimer′s and Parkinson’s diseases, and COVID-19. Interestingly, no single mechanism describes how CK2 is regulated, including activation by external proteins or domains, phosphorylation, or dimerization. Furthermore, the kinase has an elongated activation loop that locks the kinase into an active conformation, leading CK2 to be labelled a constitutively active kinase. This presents an interesting paradox that remains unanswered: how can a constitutively active kinase regulate biological processes that require careful control? Here, we highlight a selection of studies where CK2 activity is regulated at the substrate level, and discuss them based on the regulatory mechanism. Overall, this review describes numerous biological processes where CK2 activity is regulated, highlighting how a constitutively active kinase can still control numerous cellular activities. It is also evident that more research is required to fully elucidate the mechanisms that regulate CK2 and what causes aberrant CK2 signaling in disease.

Abstract
CK2 is a constitutively active protein kinase that assuring a constant level of phosphorylation to its numerous substrates supports many of the most important biological functions. Nevertheless, its activity has to be controlled and adjusted in order to cope with the varying needs of a cell, and several examples of a fine-tune regulation of its activity have been described. More importantly, aberrant regulation of this enzyme may have pathological consequences, e.g. in cancer, chronic inflammation, neurodegeneration, and viral infection. Our review aims at summarizing our current knowledge about CK2 regulation. In the first part, we have considered the most important stimuli shown to affect protein kinase CK2 activity/expression. In the second part, we focus on the molecular mechanisms by which CK2 can be regulated, discussing controversial aspects and future perspectives.

CD5 dynamically calibrates basal NF-κB signaling in T cells during thymic development and peripheral activation. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2020; 117:14342-14353.

Abstract
Immature T cells undergo a process of positive selection in the thymus when their new T cell receptor (TCR) engages and signals in response to self-peptides. As the T cell matures, a slew of negative regulatory molecules, including the inhibitory surface glycoprotein CD5, are up-regulated in proportion to the strength of the self-peptide signal. Together these regulators dampen TCR-proximal signaling and help avoid any subsequent peripheral activation of T cells by self-peptides. Paradoxically, antigen-specific T cells initially expressing more CD5 (CD5hi) have been found to better persist as effector/memory cells after a peripheral challenge. The molecular mechanisms underlying such a duality in CD5 function is not clear. We found that CD5 alters the basal activity of the NF-κB signaling in resting peripheral T cells. When CD5 was conditionally ablated, T cells were unable to maintain higher expression of the cytoplasmic NF-κB inhibitor IκBα. Consistent with this, resting CD5hi T cells expressed more of the NF-κB p65 protein than CD5lo cells, without significant increases in transcript levels, in the absence of TCR signals. This posttranslationally stabilized cellular NF-κB depot potentially confers a survival advantage to CD5hi T cells over CD5lo ones. Taken together, these data suggest a two-step model whereby the strength of self-peptide-induced TCR signal lead to the up-regulation of CD5, which subsequently maintains a proportional reserve of NF-κB in peripheral T cells poised for responding to agonistic antigen-driven T cell activation.

Abstract
CD5 is characterized as an inhibitory coreceptor with an important regulatory role during T cell development. The molecular mechanism by which CD5 operates has been puzzling and its function in mature T cells suggests promoting rather than repressing effects on immune responses. Here, we combined quantitative mass spectrometry and genetic studies to analyze the components and the activity of the CD5 signaling machinery in primary T cells. We found that T cell receptor (TCR) engagement induces the selective phosphorylation of CD5 tyrosine 429, which serves as a docking site for proteins with adaptor functions (c-Cbl, CIN85, CRKL), connecting CD5 to positive (PI3K) and negative (UBASH3A, SHIP1) regulators of TCR signaling. c-CBL acts as a coordinator in this complex enabling CD5 to synchronize positive and negative feedbacks on TCR signaling through the other components. Disruption of CD5 signalosome in mutant mice reveals that it modulates TCR signal outputs to selectively repress the transactivation of Foxp3 and limit the inopportune induction of peripherally induced regulatory T cells during immune responses against foreign antigen. Our findings bring insights into the paradigm of coreceptor signaling, suggesting that, in addition to providing dualistic enhancing or dampening inputs, coreceptors can engage concomitant stimulatory and inhibitory signaling events, which act together to promote specific functional outcomes.

Abstract
Since its discovery, over 30 years ago, CD5 has been used as a marker to identify T cells, B1-a cells, and B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. Throughout the years, many studies have described the functional relevance of CD5 as a modulator of T and B cell receptor signaling. However, it has not been until recent years that CD5 has emerged as a functional receptor in other areas of the immune system. Here, we review some of the most important aspects of CD5 as a modulator of TCR and BCR signaling, cell survival receptor both in T and B cells during health and disease, as well as the newly discovered roles of this receptor in thymocyte selection, T cell effector differentiation, and immune tolerance. CD5 was found to promote T cell survival by protecting autoreactive T cell from activation-induced cell death, to promote de novo induction of regulatory T cells in the periphery, to modulate Th17 and Th2 differentiation, and to modulate immune responses by modulating dendritic cell functions. CD5 is overexpressed in Tregs and Bregs, which are fundamental to maintain immune homeostasis. The newly established roles of CD5 in modulating different aspects of immune responses identify this receptor as an immune checkpoint modulator, and therefore it could be used as a target for immune intervention in different pathologies such as cancer, autoimmune diseases or infections.

Abstract
T cells are critical components of adaptive immunity. As such, their activation is regulated by the T cell receptor (TCR) that constantly scan peptides associated with major histocompatibility complexes (MHC). TCR engagement initiates a series of molecular events leading to cytokine secretion, proliferation, and differentiation of T cells. As a second coincident event, activation of co-stimulatory molecules, such as CD28, synergize with the TCR in order to prolong and/or amplify intracellular signals. With the recent advances in immunotherapies targeting T cells, co-inhibitory receptors are of growing interest for immunologists due to their potential modulatory properties on T cell functions. However, special attention should be dedicated to avoid unwanted clinical outcomes (1). In particular, Manichean categorization of receptors based on incomplete functional knowledge can lead to an over-simplistic view of complex cellular regulations. Thus, analysis of the functions that characterize these receptors in diverse physiological contexts remains essential for their rational use in therapeutic protocols. Here we focus on CD5, a transmembrane receptor that regulates T cell functions and development but remains poorly characterized at the molecular level. We will review its roles in physiological conditions and suggest potential molecular effectors that could account for CD5-dependent regulation of TCR signaling.

Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and aggressive subtype of renal cancer. STAT3 pathway is altered in these tumors and p-STAT3 Ser727 is an independent prognostic factor for ccRCC. Protein kinase CK2 is altered in different types of tumors and overexpression of CK2α is considered predictive of bad prognosis and metastatic risk. CK2 subunits analyses in ccRCC samples showed increased CK2α/α’ nuclear content in all cases, but decreased cytosolic CK2β (CK2βcyt) levels in the more advanced tumors. Stable downregulation of CK2β in renal proximal tubular (HK-2) and clear cell adenocarcinoma (786-O) cells triggered changes in E-cadherin, vimentin and Snail1 protein levels indicative of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and increased HIF-α. Moreover, CK2β was required in order to observe STAT3 Ser727 phosphorylation in HK-2 but not in 786-O cells. We also observed that CK2β improved the prognostic value of p-STAT3 Ser727, as CK2βcyt>41 (median value) discriminates patients free of disease for a period of 10 years upon surgery, from those with CK2βcyt<41, when p-STAT3 Ser727levels are low. We conclude that CK2β down-regulation might represent a mechanism to support EMT and angiogenesis and that CK2βcyt levels are instrumental to refine prognosis of ccRCC patients with low p-STAT3 Ser727 levels.

CD5-CK2 Signaling Modulates Erk Activation and Thymocyte Survival. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0168155.

Abstract
CD5 is well recognized for its importance in thymic selection. Although this property of CD5 has been attributed to its ITIM-domain dependent regulation of TCR-signal strength, the mechanism has not been established. A second major signaling domain within the cytoplasmic tail of CD5 is a CK2 binding/activation domain (CD5-CK2BD). Using a gene-targeted mouse in which the CD5-CK2BD is selectively ablated (CD5-ΔCK2BD), we determined that loss of function of CD5-CK2 signaling in a MHC-II selecting TCR transgenic (OT-II) mouse resulted in decrease in double positive (DP) thymocytes, which correlated with enhanced apoptosis. Remarkably, DP cells expressing high levels of CD5 and CD69 and single positive (CD4+SP) thymocytes were increased in CD5-ΔCK2BD mice indicating that CD5-CK2 signaling regulates positive selection and promotes survival. Consistent with this possibility, we determined that the activation and nuclear localization of ERK as well as apoptosis was greater in thymic populations from OTII CD5-ΔCK2BD mice than OTII CD5-WT mice following injection of OVA323-339-peptide. The mobilization of Ca2+, an early event of TCR activation, was not altered by the loss of CD5-CK2 signaling. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the CD5-CK2 signaling axis regulates positive selection by modulating activation of ERK and promoting survival independent of proximal TCR signals.

Abstract
CD5 is constitutively expressed on T cells and a subset of mature normal and leukemic B cells in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Important functional properties are associated with CD5 expression in B cells, including signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation, IL-10 production and the promotion of B-lymphocyte survival and transformation. However, the pathway(s) by which CD5 influences the biology of B cells and its dependence on B-cell receptor (BCR) co-signaling remain unknown. In this study, we show that CD5 expression activates a number of important signaling pathways, including Erk1/2, leading to IL-10 production through a novel pathway independent of BCR engagement. This pathway is dependent on extracellular calcium (Ca2+) entry facilitated by upregulation of the transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) protein. We also show that Erk1/2 activation in a subgroup of CLL patients is associated with TRPC1 overexpression. In this subgroup of CLL patients, small inhibitory RNA (siRNA) for CD5 reduces TRPC1 expression. Furthermore, siRNAs for CD5 or for TRPC1 inhibit IL-10 production. These findings provide new insights into the role of CD5 in B-cell biology in health and disease and could pave the way for new treatment strategies for patients with B-CLL.

Abstract
To investigate how CD4+ T cells function against a bacterial pathogen, we generated a Listeria monocytogenes-specific CD4+ T cell model. In this system, two TCRtg mouse lines, LLO56 and LLO118, recognize the same immunodominant epitope (LLO190-205) of L. monocytogenes and have identical in vitro responses. However, in vivo LLO56 and LLO118 display vastly different responses during both primary and secondary infection. LLO118 dominates in the primary response and in providing CD8 T cell help. LLO56 predominates in the secondary response. We have also shown that both specific [T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated] and non-specific stimuli (bypassing the TCR) elicit distinct responses from the two transgenics, leading us to conclude that the strength of self-pMHC signaling during development tightly dictates the cell’s future response in the periphery. Herein, we review our findings in this transfer system, focusing on the contribution of the immunomodulatory molecule CD5 and the importance of self-interaction in peripheral maintenance of the cell. We also discuss the manner in which individual TCR affinities to foreign and self-pMHC contribute to the outcome of an immune response; our assertion is that there exists a spectrum of possible T cell responses to recognition of cognate antigen during infection, adding immense diversity to the immune system’s response to pathogens.

Abstract
Mechanisms that modulate the generation of Th17 cells are incompletely understood. We report that the activation of casein kinase 2 (CK2) by CD5 is essential for the efficient generation of Th17 cells in vitro and in vivo. In our study, the CD5-CK2 signaling pathway enhanced TCR-induced activation of AKT and promoted the differentiation of Th17 cells by two independent mechanisms: inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and activation of mTOR. Genetic ablation of the CD5-CK2 signaling pathway attenuated TCR-induced AKT activation and consequently increased activity of GSK3 in Th17 cells. This resulted in increased sensitivity of Th17 cells to IFN-γ-mediated inhibition. In the absence of CD5-CK2 signaling, we observed decreased activity of S6K and attenuated nuclear translocation of RORγt (ROR is retinoic acid receptor related orphan receptor). These results reveal a novel and essential function of the CD5-CK2 signaling pathway and GSK3-IFN-γ axis in regulating Th-cell differentiation and provide a possible means to dampen Th17-type responses in autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Casein kinase 2 (CK2) regulates multiple cellular processes and can promote oncogenesis. Interactions with the CK2β regulatory subunit of the enzyme target its catalytic subunit (CK2α or CK2α') to specific substrates; however, little is known about the mechanisms by which these interactions occur. We previously showed that by binding CK2β, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) EBNA1 protein recruits CK2 to promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies, where increased CK2-mediated phosphorylation of PML proteins triggers their degradation. Here we have identified a KSSR motif near the dimerization interface of CK2β as forming part of a protein interaction pocket that mediates interaction with EBNA1. We show that the EBNA1-CK2β interaction is primed by phosphorylation of EBNA1 on S393 (within a polyserine region). This phosphoserine is critical for EBNA1-induced PML degradation but does not affect EBNA1 functions in EBV replication or segregation. Using comparative proteomics of wild-type (WT) and KSSR mutant CK2β, we identified an uncharacterized cellular protein, C18orf25/ARKL1, that also binds CK2β through the KSSR motif and show that this involves a polyserine sequence resembling the CK2β binding sequence in EBNA1. Therefore, we have identified a new mechanism of CK2 interaction used by viral and cellular proteins.

Abstract
CD6 is a transmembrane receptor expressed by all T and a subset of B lymphocytes, where it physically associates with the antigen-specific receptor to modulate activation and differentiation processes through still poorly understood mechanisms. Its cytoplasmic tail lacks intrinsic catalytic activity but presents several consensus motifs for phosphorylation. The present work reports on the identification of two constitutively phosphorylated serine clusters (S480/482/484 and S560/562/565/567/568), which are embedded into Casein Kinase 2 consensus motifs, and are indispensable for proper mitogen-activated protein kinase activation following CD6 ligation. The data point to a novel level of regulation of CD6 function by intracytoplasmic serine phosphorylation.

Abstract
CD5 activates casein kinase 2 (CK2), a serine/threonine kinase that constitutively associates with the CK2-binding domain at the end of its cytoplasmic tail. To determine the physiological significance of CD5-dependent CK2 activation in T cells, we generated a knock-in mouse that expresses a CD5 protein containing a microdeletion with selective inability to interact with CK2 (CD5ΔCK2BD). The levels of CD5 on developing and mature T cell populations from CD5ΔCK2BD mice and CD5 wild-type (WT) mice were similar. The thymus of CD5ΔCK2BD mice contained fewer double-positive thymocytes than did that of both CD5WT and CD5 knockout (KO) mice, although the numbers of all other immature and mature T cell populations were unaltered. CD5ΔCK2BD T cells hypoproliferated and exhibited enhanced activation-induced cell death when stimulated with anti-CD3 or cognate peptide in comparison with CD5WT T cells. We also found that functional CD5-dependent CK2 signaling was necessary for efficient differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells into Th2 and Th17 cells, but not Th1 cells. We previously showed that experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in CD5KO mice was less severe and delayed in onset than in CD5WT mice. Remarkably, CD5ΔCK2BD mice recapitulated both EAE severity and disease onset of CD5KO mice. Increasing the immunization dose of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55 peptide, a model that mimics high-dose tolerance, led to decreased severity of EAE in CD5WT mice but not in CD5KO or CD5ΔCK2BD mice. This property was recapitulated in in vitro restimulation assays. These results demonstrate that CD5-CK2 signaling sets the threshold for T cell responsiveness and is necessary for efficient generation of Th2 and Th17 cells.

Abstract
CD5 is a lymphocyte surface coreceptor of still incompletely understood function. Currently available information indicates that CD5 participates not only in cell-to-cell immune interactions through still poorly defined endogenous ligands expressed on hemopoietic and nonhemopoietic cells but also in recognition of exogenous and highly conserved microbial structures such as fungal β-glucans. Preceding single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data analysis provided evidence for a recent selective sweep in East Asia and suggested a nonsynonymous substitution at position 471 (A471V; rs2229177) of the cytoplasmatic region of the CD5 receptor as the most plausible target of selection. The present report further investigates the role of natural selection in the CD5 gene by a resequencing approach in 60 individuals representing populations from 3 different continents (20 Africans, 20 Europeans and 20 East Asians) and by functionally assaying the relevance of the A471V replacement on CD5 signaling. The high differentiation pattern found at the nonsynonymous A471V site together with the low diversity, most of the performed neutrality tests (Tajima's D, Fu and Li's F* and D*, and Fu's Fs) and the predominance of a major haplotype in East Asians strongly argue in favor of positive selection for the A471V site. Importantly, anti-CD5 monoclonal antibody cross-linking unveiled significant differences among A471V variants regarding the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade activation on COS7 and on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Similar differences on MAPK activation and IL-8 cytokine release were also observed upon exposure of HEK293 cell transfectants expressing the A471V variants to Zymosan, a β-glucan-rich fungal particle. Taken together, the results provide evidence for the hypothesis of an adaptive role of the A471V substitution to environmental challenges, most likely infectious pathogens, in East Asian populations.

Abstract
Latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is an important causative factor in the development of several cancers, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The one EBV protein expressed in the nucleus of NPC cells, EBNA1, has been shown to disrupt promyelocitic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies (NBs) by inducing the degradation of PML proteins, leading to impaired DNA repair and increased cell survival. Although EBNA1-mediated PML disruption is likely to be an important factor in the development of NPC, little is known about its mechanism. We now show that an interaction between EBNA1 and the host CK2 kinase is crucial for EBNA1 to disrupt PML bodies and degrade PML proteins. EBNA1 increases the association of CK2 with PML proteins, thereby increasing the phosphorylation of PML proteins by CK2, a modification that is known to trigger the polyubiquitylation and degradation of PML. The interaction between EBNA1 and CK2 is direct and occurs through the β regulatory subunit of CK2 and EBNA1 amino acids 387 to 394. The binding of EBNA1 to the host ubiquitin specific protease USP7 has also been shown to be important for EBNA1-mediated PML disruption. We show that EBNA1 also increases the occupancy of USP7 at PML NBs and that CK2 and USP7 bind independently and simultaneously to EBNA1 to form a ternary complex. The combined results indicate that EBNA1 usurps two independent cellular pathways to trigger the loss of PML NBs.

Abstract
Expression of protein kinase CK2 is frequently deregulated in cancer and mounting evidence implicates CK2 in tumorigenesis. Here, we show that CK2 is overexpressed and hyperactivated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Inhibition of CK2 induces apoptosis of CLL cells without significantly affecting normal B and T lymphocytes. Importantly, this effect is not reversed by coculture with OP9 stromal cells, which are otherwise capable of rescuing CLL cells from in vitro spontaneous apoptosis. CLL cell death upon CK2 inhibition is mediated by inactivation of PKC, a PI3K downstream target, and correlates with increased PTEN activity, indicating that CK2 promotes CLL cell survival at least in part via PI3K-dependent signaling. Although CK2 antagonists induce significant apoptosis of CLL cells in all patient samples analyzed, sensitivity to CK2 blockade positively correlates with the percentage of CLL cells in the peripheral blood, β2 microglobulin serum levels and clinical stage. These data suggest that subsets of patients with aggressive and advanced stage disease may especially benefit from therapeutic strategies targeting CK2 function. Overall, our study indicates that CK2 plays a critical role in CLL cell survival, laying the groundwork for the inclusion of CK2 inhibitors into future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
We present evidence, using biochemical and cellular approaches, that the kinase, CK2, negatively controls signaling via Galpha(s) (or Galpha(olf)) coupled to dopamine D1 and adenosine A2A receptors. Pharmacological inhibition of CK2 or CK2 knockdown by RNAi lead to elevated cAMP levels in dopamine D1 receptor-activated neuroblastoma cells. Phosphorylation levels of protein kinase A substrates were increased in the presence of CK2 inhibitors in mouse striatal slices. The effect of D1 receptor and A2A receptor agonists on the phosphorylation of protein kinase A sites was potentiated upon CK2 inhibition. Furthermore, in cell lines, we observed that reduction in CK2 activity, pharmacologically or genetically, reduced the amount of D1 receptor that was internalized in response to dopamine. Finally, the beta subunit of CK2 was found to interact specifically with the Galpha(s) subunit through protein interaction analyses. Thus CK2 can inhibit G protein-coupled receptor action by enabling faster receptor internalization, possibly through a direct association with Galpha(s).

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) results in the accumulation of B cells, presumably reflecting the selection of malignant cell precursors with Ag combined with complex alterations in protein activity. Repeated BCR stimulation of normal B cells leads to anergy and CD5 expression, both of which are features of CLL. Because CD5 is phosphorylated on tyrosine following BCR engagement and negatively regulates BCR signaling in normal B cells, we investigated its phosphorylation status and found it to be naturally phosphorylated on tyrosine but not on serine residues in CLL samples. To analyze the role of CD5, we established a B cell line in which CD5 is phosphorylated. Gene profiling of vector vs CD5-transfected B cells pointed out gene groups whose expression was enhanced: Apoptosis inhibitors (BCL2), NF-kappaB (RELB, BCL3), Wnt, TGFbeta, VEGF, MAPKs, Stats, cytokines, chemokines (IL-10, IL-10R, IL-2R, CCL-3, CCL-4, and CCR7), TLR-9, and the surface Ags CD52, CD54, CD70, and CD72. Most of these gene groups are strongly expressed in CLL B cells as compared with normal B cells. Unexpectedly, metabolic pathways, namely cholesterol synthesis and adipogenesis, are also enhanced by CD5. Conversely, CD5 inhibited genes involved in RNA splicing and processing, ribosome biogenesis, proteasome, and CD80 and CD86 Ags, whose expression is low in CLL. Comparison of CD5- vs tailless CD5-transfected cells further demonstrated the role of CD5 phosphorylation in the regulation of selected genes. These results support a model where CLL cells are chronically stimulated, leading to CD5 activation and cell survival. In addition to CD5 itself, we point to several CD5-induced genes as potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most frequent form of adult leukemia in Western countries, is characterized by a highly variable clinical course. Expression profiling of a series of 160 CLL patients allowed interrogating the genes presumably playing a role in pathogenesis, relating the expression of functionally relevant signatures with the time to treatment. First, we identified genes relevant to the biology and prognosis of CLL to build a CLL disease-specific oligonucleotide microarray. Second, we hybridized a training series on the CLL-specific chip, generating a biology-based predictive model. Finally, this model was validated in a new CLL series. Clinical variability in CLL is related with the expression of two gene clusters, associated with B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, including nuclear factor-kappaB1 (NF-kappaB1). The expression of these clusters identifies three risk-score groups with treatment-free survival probabilities at 5 years of 83, 50 and 17%. This molecular predictor can be applied to early clinical stages of CLL. This signature is related to immunoglobulin variable region somatic hypermutation and surrogate markers. There is a molecular heterogeneity in CLL, dependent on the expression of genes defining BCR and MAPK/NF-kappaB clusters, which can be used to predict time to treatment in early clinical stages.

Abstract
CD5 is a transmembrane protein expressed on all T lineage cells and a subset of B cells. It is known that CD5 is physically associated with the T-cell receptor and B-cell receptor (BCR), inhibiting the signaling triggered by both of them. CD5 is also characteristic of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) B cells, although its implication in the development of this lymphoproliferative disorder has not been studied. In the present study, we examined the effect of CD5 in apoptosis, cell viability and global protein tyrosine phosphorylation mediated by BCR in B cells from B-CLL patients. As opposed to tonsil B cells, we did not observe an increase in the apoptotic or viability signals induced by anti-immunoglobulin M or SAC/interleukin-2 when CD5 was dissociated from BCR in leukemic cells of the majority of patients. We also observed that CD5 did not regulate the BCR-induced phosphotyrosine pattern in B-CLL B cells. These findings suggest that CD5 does not inhibit properly the BCR-mediated signaling in leukemic cells. This defect in inhibiting the BCR might contribute to the enhanced survival of B-CLL B cells.

Abstract
Regulating the differentiation and persistence of encephalitogenic T cells is critical for the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We reported recently that CD5 has an engagement-dependent prosurvival activity in T cells that played a direct role in the induction and progression EAE. We predicted that CD5 regulates T cell apoptosis/survival through the activation of CK2, a prosurvival serine/threonine kinase that associates with the receptor. To test this hypothesis, we generated mice expressing CD5 with the inability to bind and activate CK2 and assessed their susceptibility to EAE. We found mice deficient in CD5-CK2 signaling pathway were mostly resistant to the development of EAE. Resistance to EAE was associated with a dramatic decrease in a population of effector infiltrating Th cells that coexpress IFN-gamma and IL-17 and, to a lesser extent, cells that express IFN-gamma or IL-17 in draining lymph nodes and spinal cords. We further show that T cells deficient in CD5-CK2 signaling hyperproliferate following primary stimulation; however, following restimulation, they rapidly develop nonresponsiveness and exhibit elevated activation-induced cell death. Our results provide a direct role for CD5-CK2 pathway in T cell activation and persistence of effector T cells in neuroinflammatory disease. This study predicts that targeting of IFN-gamma(+)/IL-17(+) infiltrating Th cells will be useful for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and other systemic autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is probably the most ubiquitous serine/threonine kinase found in eukaryotes: it phosphorylates >300 cellular proteins, ranging from transcription factors to proteins involved in chromatin structure and cell division. CK2 is a heterotetrameric enzyme that induces neoplastic growth when overexpressed. The beta subunit of CK2 (CK2beta) functions as the regulator of the catalytic CK2alpha and CK2alpha' subunits, enhancing their stability, activity and specificity. However, CK2beta also functions as a multisubstrate docking platform for several other binding partners. Here, we discuss the organization and roles of interaction motifs of CK2beta, postulate new protein-interaction sites and map these to the known interaction motifs, and show how the resulting complexity of interactions mediated by CK2 gives rise to the versatile functions of this pleiotropic protein kinase.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-B-cells are quiescent differentiated cells that produce interleukin (IL)-10 and accumulate due to resistance to apoptosis. The mechanisms underlying such resistance are poorly understood. Herein we show that all CLL B-cells tested (30/30) display high mRNA and protein expression of the tumor suppressor Mda-7/IL-24, an IL-10 family member, in comparison to normal B cells. A downstream Mda-7 signaling target, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was highly phosphorylated in all CLL cells but not in normal B-cells. Mda-7 expression and p38 MAPK phosphorylation diminished in culture and the latter could be reinduced by recombinant (r)-IL-24 or LPS and Mda-7 transfection. Mda-7/IL-24 siRNA specifically inhibited p38 MAPK phosphorylation in CLL without affecting p38 MAPK, bcl2, or Lyn expression, further demonstrating the direct role of Mda-7/IL-24 in p38 MAPK activation. Both pharmacological inhibition of p38 MAPK and Mda-7 silencing augmented spontaneous apoptosis by three-fold in CLL cells cultured in autologous serum, which was reversed by LPS and r-IL-24. We established the role of p38 MAPK in CLL cell survival and demonstrated a paradoxical effect, whereby Mda-7 and IL-24, inducers of apoptosis in diverse cancer cells, promote the survival of CLL B-cells through p38 MAPK activation.

Abstract
CK2 is a highly conserved, ubiquitously expressed protein serine/threonine kinase present in all eukaryotes. Circumscribed as having a vast array of substrates located in a number of cellular compartments, CK2 has been implicated in critical cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and transformation. Despite advances in elucidating its substrates and involvement in cellular regulation, its precise mode of regulation remains poorly defined. In this respect, there are currently conflicting views as to whether CK2 is constitutively active or modulated in response to specific stimuli. Perhaps an important consideration in resolving these apparent discrepancies is recognition of the existence of many discrete CK2 subpopulations that are distinguished from one another by localization or association with distinct cellular components. The existence of these subpopulations brings to light the possibility of each population being regulated independently rather than the entire cellular CK2 content being regulated globally. Logically, each local population may then be regulated in a distinct manner to carry out its precise function(s). This review will examine those mechanisms including regulated expression and assembly of CK2 subunits, phosphorylation of CK2, and interactions with small molecules or cellular proteins that could contribute to the local regulation of distinct CK2 populations.

Abstract
CD5 is a surface receptor constitutively expressed on thymocytes and mature T and B-1a cells. CD5 expression is tightly regulated during T and B cell development and activation processes. In this study we shown that the constitutive expression of CD5 on human T cells correlates with the presence of a DNase I-hypersensitive (DH) site at the 5'-flanking region of CD5. Human CD5 is a TATA-less gene for which 5'-RACE analysis shows multiple transcriptional start sites, the most frequent of which locates within an initiator sequence. Luciferase reporter assays indicate that a 282-bp region upstream of the initiation ATG displays full promoter activity in human T cells. Two conserved Ets-binding sites (at positions -239 and -185) were identified as functionally relevant to CD5 expression by site-directed mutagenesis, EMSAs, and cotransfection experiments. A possible contribution of Sp1 (-115 and -95), c-Myb (-177), and AP-1-like (-151) motifs was also detected. Further DH site analyses revealed an inducible DH site 10 kb upstream of the human CD5 gene in both T and B CD5(+) cells. Interestingly, a 140-bp sequence showing high homology with a murine inducible enhancer is found within that site. The data presented indicate that the 5'-flanking region of human CD5 is transcriptionally active in T cells, and that Ets transcription factors in conjunction with other regulatory elements are responsible for constitutive and tissue-specific CD5 expression.

Abstract
Protein kinase CKII is composed of two catalytic (alpha or alpha') subunits and two regulatory (beta) subunits. The CKIIbeta subunit is thought to mediate the tetramer formation and interact with other target proteins. However, its physiological function remains obscure. In this study, point mutants of CKIIbeta that are defective for the L41 binding were isolated by using the reverse two-hybrid system. A sequence analysis of the point mutants revealed that Asp-26, Met-52, and Met-78 of CKIIbeta are critical for L41 binding; Asn-67 (and/or Lys-139) and Met-52 are important for CKIIbeta homodimerization. Two point mutants, R75 and R83, of CKIIbeta interacted with L5, topoisomerase IIbeta, and CKBBP1/SAG, but not with the wild-type CKIIbeta. This indicates that CKIIbeta homodimerization is not a prerequisite for its binding to target proteins. These CKIIbeta point mutants may be useful in exploring the biochemical physiological functions of CKIIbeta.

Abstract
Protein kinase CK2 (formerly known as casein kinase 2) was among the first protein kinases to be identified and characterized. Surprisingly, in spite of intense efforts, the regulation and cellular functions of CK2 remain obscure. However, recent data on its molecular structure, its signal-mediated intracellular dynamic localization and its unexpected function in cell survival have raised new interest in this enzyme. These studies reveal unique features of CK2 and highlight its importance in the transduction of survival signals.

Abstract
CK2 (formerly termed "casein kinase 2") is a ubiquitous, highly pleiotropic and constitutively active Ser/Thr protein kinase whose implication in neoplasia, cell survival, and virus infection is supported by an increasing number of arguments. Here an updated inventory of 307 CK2 protein substrates is presented. More than one-third of these are implicated in gene expression and protein synthesis as being either transcriptional factors (60) or effectors of DNA/RNA structure (50) or translational elements. Also numerous are signaling proteins and proteins of viral origin or essential to virus life cycle. In comparison, only a minority of CK2 targets (a dozen or so) are classical metabolic enzymes. An analysis of 308 sites phosphorylated by CK2 highlights the paramount relevance of negatively charged side chains that are (by far) predominant over any other residues at positions n+3 (the most crucial one), n+1, and n+2. Based on this signature, it is predictable that proteins phosphorylated by CK2 are much more numerous than those identified to date, and it is possible that CK2 alone contributes to the generation of the eukaryotic phosphoproteome more so than any other individual protein kinase. The possibility that CK2 phosphosites play some global role, e.g., by destabilizing alpha helices, counteracting caspase cleavage, and generating adhesive motifs, will be discussed.

Abstract
Human dual-specificity phosphatases CDC25 (A, B and C) play an important role in the control of cell cycle progression by activating the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Regulation of these phosphatases during the cell cycle involves post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and protein-protein interactions. Given the suspected involvement of the protein kinase CK2 at the G2/M transition, we have investigated its effects on the CDC25B phosphatase. We show that in vitro CK2 phosphorylates CDC25B, but not CDC25C. Mass spectrometry analysis demonstrates that at least two serine residues, Ser-186 and Ser-187, are phosphorylated in vivo. We also report that CDC25B interacts with CK2, and this interaction, mediated by the CK2beta regulatory subunit, involves domains that are located within the first 55 amino acids of CK2beta and between amino acids 122 and 200 on CDC25B. This association was confirmed in vivo, in Sf9 insect cells and in U(2)OS human cells expressing an HA epitope-tagged CDC25B. Finally, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of CDC25B by protein kinase CK2 increases the catalytic activity of the phosphatase in vitro as well as in vivo. We discuss the possibility that CDC25B phosphorylation by CK2 could play a role in the regulation of the activity of CDC25B as a starter of mitosis.

Abstract
Protein kinase CK2 ('casein kinase II') has traditionally been classified as a messenger-independent protein serine/threonine kinase that is typically found in tetrameric complexes consisting of two catalytic (alpha and/or alpha') subunits and two regulatory beta subunits. Accumulated biochemical and genetic evidence indicates that CK2 has a vast array of candidate physiological targets and participates in a complex series of cellular functions, including the maintenance of cell viability. This review summarizes current knowledge of the structural and enzymic features of CK2, and discusses advances that challenge traditional views of this enzyme. For example, the recent demonstrations that individual CK2 subunits exist outside tetrameric complexes and that CK2 displays dual-specificity kinase activity raises new prospects for the precise elucidation of its regulation and cellular functions. This review also discusses a number of the mechanisms that contribute to the regulation of CK2 in cells, and will highlight emerging insights into the role of CK2 in cellular decisions of life and death. In this latter respect, recent evidence suggests that CK2 can exert an anti-apoptotic role by protecting regulatory proteins from caspase-mediated degradation. The mechanistic basis of the observation that CK2 is essential for viability may reside in part in this ability to protect cellular proteins from caspase action. Furthermore, this anti-apoptotic function of CK2 may contribute to its ability to participate in transformation and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
CD5 is a negative regulator of B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling that is up-regulated after BCR stimulation and likely contributes to B-cell tolerance in vivo. However, CD5 is constitutively expressed on the B-1 subset of B cells. Contrary to CD5(-) B-2 B cells, B-1 B cells are long-lived because of autocrine interleukin-10 (IL-10) production through unknown mechanisms. We demonstrate herein a direct relationship between CD5 expression and IL-10 production. Human peripheral blood CD5(+) B cells produce more IL-10 than CD5(-) B cells after BCR activation. Introducing CD5 into CD5(-) B cells induces the production of IL-10 by activating its promoter and the synthesis of its mRNA. The cytoplasmic domain of CD5 is sufficient for this process. CD5 also protects normal human B cells from apoptosis after BCR stimulation while reducing the BCR-induced Ca(2+) response. We conclude that CD5 supports the survival of B cells by stimulating IL-10 production and by concurrently exerting negative feedback on BCR-induced signaling events that can promote cell death.

Abstract
Although the cytoplasmic domain of the human FcgammaRIa alpha-chain lacks tyrosine-based phosphorylation motifs, it modulates receptor cycling and receptor-specific cytokine production. The cytoplasmic domain of FcgammaRIa is constitutively phosphorylated, and the inhibition of dephosphorylation with okadaic acid, an inhibitor of type 1 and type 2A protein serine/threonine phosphatase, inhibits both receptor-induced activation of the early tyrosine phosphorylation cascade and receptor-specific phagocytosis. To explore the basis for these effects of the cytoplasmic domain of FcgammaRIa, we developed a series of human FcgammaRIa molecular variants, expressed in the murine macrophage cell line P388D1, and demonstrate that serine phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain is an important regulatory mechanism. Truncation of the cytoplasmic domain and mutation of the cytoplasmic domain serine residues to alanine abolish the okadaic acid inhibition of phagocytic function. In contrast, the serine mutants did not recapitulate the selective effects of cytoplasmic domain truncation on cytokine production. These results demonstrate for the first time a direct functional role for serine phosphorylation in the alpha-chain of FcgammaRIa and suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of FcgammaRI regulates the different functional capacities of the FcgammaRIa-receptor complex.

Abstract
Whether B-1a (CD5+) cells are a distinct lineage derived from committed fetal/neonatal precursors or arise from follicular B-2 cells in response to BCR ligation and other, unknown signals remains controversial. Recent evidence indicates that B-1a cells can derive from adult precursors expressing an appropriate specificity when the (self-) antigen is present. Antibody specificity determines whether a B cell expressing immunoglobulin transgenes has a B-2, B-1a or marginal zone (MZ) phenotype. MZ cells share many phenotypic characteristics of B-1 cells and, like them, appear to develop in response to T independent type 2 antigens. Because fetal-derived B cell progenitors fail to express terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and for other reasons, they are likely to express a repertoire that allows selection into the B-1a population. As it is selected by self-antigen, the B-1 repertoire tends to be autoreactive. This potentially dangerous repertoire is also useful, as B-1 cells are essential for resistance to several pathogens and they play an important role in mucosal immunity. The CD5 molecule can function as a negative regulator of BCR signaling that may help prevent inappropriate activation of autoreactive B-1a cells.

Abstract
CD5 is a key regulator of Ag receptor-mediated activation, selection, and differentiation in both T and B cells. Accumulating evidence indicates that lymphocyte activation and selection are sensitive to variations in levels of CD5 on the cell surface. We now show that CD5 expression on the surface of B and T cells is regulated posttranslationally by direct interaction with the mu(2) subunit of the AP2 adaptor complex that links transmembrane proteins to clathrin-coated pits. CD5 is rapidly internalized from the cell surface in lymphoid cell lines, mature splenic T and B cells, and peritoneal CD5(+) B cells following monovalent or bivalent ligation of the receptor. We mapped the mu(2) subunit binding site on CD5 to Y(429) and determined that the integrity of this site was necessary for CD5 internalization. Cross-linking of the Ag receptor with intact Abs inhibited CD5 internalization in B cells, but had the opposite effect in T cells. However, if F(ab')(2) Abs were used to stimulate the Ag receptor in B cells, the effect on CD5 internalization was now similar to that observed in T cells, indicating that signals through the Ag receptor and FcR regulate CD5 endocytosis in B cells. This was confirmed using an FcgammaRIIB1-deficient B cell line. The ability to differentially alter posttranslational CD5 expression in T and B cells is likely to be key in regulation of Ag receptor signaling and generation of tolerance in T and B lymphocytes.

Abstract
The regulatory subunit of protein kinase CK2, designated CK2beta, exists both free in cells and in complexes with the CK2 catalytic subunits. Growing evidence suggests that CK2beta has functions dependent and independent of the CK2 catalytic subunits. There have been indications that CK2beta has functions associated with DNA damage responses and in the control of cell proliferation. For example, transient and stable constitutive overexpression of CK2beta in mammalian cells was previously shown to perturb cell cycle progression and to attenuate proliferation. To systematically investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects of CK2beta on cell proliferation, we generated human osteosarcoma U2OS cell lines with tetracycline-regulated expression of CK2beta. Increased expression of CK2beta results in increases in total cellular CK2 activity, but no changes in cell cycle profiles or proliferation. Furthermore, following exposure to ultraviolet radiation, p53 induction was identical regardless of the levels of CK2beta in cells. Mouse 3T3-L1 cells stably transfected with CK2beta also showed no alterations in cell proliferation. The differences between these results and those previously reported emphasize the complex nature of CK2beta and its cellular functions. Furthermore, these results indicate that increased expression of CK2beta is not by itself sufficient to effect alterations in cell proliferation.

Abstract
Protein kinase CKII is a Ser/Thr kinase which is involved in many proliferation-related processes in the cell. p47(phox) is a component of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase, which is an important element of host defense against microbial infection. In this study, we demonstrate that a truncated form of the p47(phox) lacking its N-terminal region (p47(phox)/SH3-C), but not a truncated form of the p47(phox) lacking its C-terminal region (p47(phox)/N-SH3), undergoes better phosphorylation by CKII in the presence of arachidonic acid. The yeast two-hybrid test and the glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay showed that p47(phox) interacts specifically with the regulatory beta subunit (CKIIbeta), but not with the catalytic alpha subunit (CKIIalpha) of the tetrameric CKII holoenzyme. The binding of p47(phox) to CKIIbeta requires the C-terminal region of p47(phox) and is completely abolished by addition of spermine, indicating that a highly basic region in the C-terminal region of p47(phox) contributes to binding to CKIIbeta. In addition, p47(phox) stimulates the catalytic activity of CKII holoenzyme; this stimulation also requires the C-terminal region of p47(phox). Coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed that CKII holoenzyme interacts with p47(phox) in human neutrophils. Taken together, the present data indicate that the C-terminal region of p47(phox) plays a significant role in the arachidonic acid-dependent phosphorylation of p47(phox) by CKII and that the same region of p47(phox) associates directly with CKIIbeta and can modulate the catalytic activity of CKII holoenzyme.

Abstract
Protein kinase CK2 is a ubiquitous protein that phosphorylates multiple substrates and is composed of catalytic (alpha, alpha') and regulatory (beta) subunits. Abundant evidence relates CK2 to the regulation of cell division. p21(WAF1/CIP1) is a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and of DNA replication and acts as a key inhibitor of cell cycle progression. In this work we examine the relation between these two important proteins. The interaction between the CK2 beta regulatory subunit of CK2 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) has been confirmed. Using a pull-down assay and fusion constructs of glutathione transferase with fragments of CK2 beta and other mutants, it was possible to define that the N-terminal (1-44) portion of CK2 beta contains a p21(WAF1/CIP1) binding site. CK2 reconstituted from recombinant alpha and beta subunits can phosphorylate p21(WAF1/CIP1) in vitro. This phosphorylation is greatly enhanced by histone H1. p21(WAF1/CIP1) can inhibit the phosphorylation of substrate casein by CK2. This inhibition, however, seems to be due to competition by p21(WAF1/CIP1) as an alternate substrate since in order to observe inhibition it is necessary that the concentration of p21 be of the same order of magnitude as the casein substrate concentration. This competition is not related to the binding of p21(WAF1/CIP1) to CK2 beta because it can also be observed when, in the absence of CK beta, CK alpha is used to phosphorylate casein in the presence of the p21.

Abstract
CD5 is a transmembrane glycoprotein on all T cells and on a subpopulation of B cells. Based on the analysis of chicken CD5-cDNA we have previously shown that the structure of the CD5 protein is conserved between species. Here we report the isolation and chromosomal mapping of the chicken CD5 gene. The gene spans 3.4 kb and is extremely compact with a high GC-nucleotide content. There are 10 exons and the introns are spliced out similarly to those in the human CD5 gene. Each of the three extracellular scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domains is encoded as an exon of its own, as is the proline-rich hinge region that separates the first two membrane-distal SRCR domains. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique was used to map the gene to chromosome five. This is the first report describing the organization of the CD5 gene from a nonmammalian species.

Abstract
In this study experiments were conducted to elucidate the physical/functional relationship between CD45 and casein kinase 2 (CK2). Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that CK2 associates with CD45 and that this interaction is inducible upon Ag receptor cross-linking in B and T cell lines as well as murine thymocytes and splenic B cells. However, yeast two-hybrid analysis failed to demonstrate a physical interaction between the individual CK2 alpha, alpha', or beta subunits and CD45. In contrast, a yeast three-hybrid assay in which either CK2 alpha and beta or alpha' and beta subunits were coexpressed with the cytoplasmic domain of CD45, demonstrated that both CK2 subunits are necessary for the interaction with CD45. Experiments using the yeast three-hybrid assay also revealed that a 19-aa acidic insert in domain II of CD45 mediates the physical interaction between CK2 and CD45. Structure/function experiments in which wild-type or mutant CD45RA and CD45RO isoforms were expressed in CD45-deficient Jurkat cells revealed that the 19-aa insert is important for optimal CD45 function. The ability of both CD45RA and CD45RO to reconstitute CD3-mediated signaling based on measurement of calcium mobilization and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation was significantly decreased by deletion of the 19-aa insert. Mutation of four serine residues within the 19-aa insert to alanine affected CD45 function to a similar extent compared with that of the deletion mutants. These findings support the hypothesis that a physical interaction between the CD45 cytoplasmic domain and CK2 is important for post-translational modification of CD45, which, in turn, regulates its catalytic function.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the mammalian gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR), a unique G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) lacking an intracellular carboxyl tail (C-tail), does not follow a beta-arrestin-dependent internalization pathway. However, internalization of a chimeric GnRHR with the thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor (TRHR) C-tail does utilize beta-arrestin. Here, we have investigated the sites within the intracellular C-tail domain that are important for conferring beta-arrestin-dependent internalization. In contrast to the chimeric GnRHR with a TRHR C-tail, a chimeric GnRHR with the catfish GnRHR C-tail is not beta-arrestin-dependent. Sequence comparisons between these chimeric receptors show three consensus phosphorylation sites for casein kinase II (CKII) in the TRHR C-tail but none in the catfish GnRHR C-tail. We thus investigated a role for CKII sites in determining GPCR internalization via beta-arrestin. Sequential introduction of three CKII sites into the chimera with the catfish C-tail (H354D,A366E,G371D) resulted in a change in the pattern of receptor phosphorylation and beta-arrestin-dependence, which only occurred when all three sites were introduced. Conversely, mutation of the putative CKII sites (T365A,T371A,S383A) in the C-tail of a beta-arrestin-sensitive GPCR, the TRHR, resulted in decreased receptor phosphorylation and a loss of beta-arrestin-dependence. Mutation of all three CKII sites was necessary before a loss of beta-arrestin-dependence was observed. Visualization of beta-arrestin/GFP redistribution confirmed a loss or gain of beta-arrestin sensitivity for receptor mutants. Internalization of receptors without C-tail CKII sites was promoted by a phosphorylation-independent beta-arrestin mutant (R169E), suggesting that these receptors do not contain the necessary phosphorylation sites required for beta-arrestin-dependent internalization. Apigenin, a specific CKII inhibitor, blocked the increase in receptor internalization by beta-arrestin, thus providing further support for the involvement of CKII. This study presents evidence of a novel role for C-tail CKII consensus sites in targeting these GPCRs to the beta-arrestin-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Current data indicate that CD5 functions as an inhibitor of TCR signal transduction. Consistent with this role, thymocyte selection in TCR transgenic/CD5(-/-) mice is altered in a manner suggestive of enhanced TCR signaling. However, the impact of CD5 deletion on thymocyte selection varies depending on the transgenic TCR analyzed, ranging from a slight to a marked shift from positive toward negative selection. An explanation for the variable effect of CD5 on selection is suggested by the observation that CD5 surface expression is regulated by TCR signal intensity during development and CD5 surface levels on mature thymocytes and T cells parallel the avidity of the positively selecting TCR/MHC/ligand interaction. In this study, we generated mice that overexpress CD5 during thymocyte development (CD5-tg), and then examined the effect of CD5 overexpression or CD5 deletion (CD5(-/-)) on selection of thymocytes that express the same TCR transgenes. The results demonstrate that the effect on thymocyte selection of altering CD5 expression depends on the avidity of the selecting interaction and, consequently, the level of basal (endogenous) CD5 surface expression. Substitution of endogenous CD5 with a transgene encoding a truncated form of the protein failed to rescue the CD5(-/-) phenotype, demonstrating that the cytoplasmic domain of CD5 is required for its inhibitory function. Together, these results indicate that inducible regulation of CD5 surface expression during thymocyte selection functions to fine tune the TCR signaling response.

Abstract
CD163 is a recently identified member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily, which is expressed on peripheral blood monocytes and most tissue macrophages and is thought to play an important role in the regulation of the inflammatory response of these cells. Cross-linking of CD163 on glucocorticoid-stimulated macrophages results in the secretion of several proinflammatory cytokines, but the precise mechanism of CD163 mediated signal transduction is not understood. The existence of several CD163 isoforms, which differ in the structure of their cytoplasmic domains and putative phosphorylation sites, suggests that these isoforms also differ in their signaling mechanism. Using the Yeast Two-Hybrid system and further in vitro and in vivo studies, we identified the regulatory beta-subunit of casein kinase II (CKII), which specifically binds to the cytoplasmic domain of CD163 and its isoforms. We also found, that in vitro the CD163 isoforms differ in their association with the CKII holoenzyme and in the phosphorylation by CKII. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the cytoplasmic domains of CD163 variants are phosphorylated by PKC-alpha in vitro. Inhibition studies using specific kinase inhibitors reveal that both CKII and PKC are involved in the CD163 signaling mechanism resulting in the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines.
