Disease
[LCK_HUMAN] Severe combined immunodeficiency due to LCK deficiency. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving LCK is found in leukemias. Translocation t(1;7)(p34;q34) with TCRB.
Function
[LCK_HUMAN] Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase that plays an essential role in the selection and maturation of developing T-cells in the thymus and in the function of mature T-cells. Plays a key role in T-cell antigen receptor (TCR)-linked signal transduction pathways. Constitutively associated with the cytoplasmic portions of the CD4 and CD8 surface receptors. Association of the TCR with a peptide antigen-bound MHC complex facilitates the interaction of CD4 and CD8 with MHC class II and class I molecules, respectively, thereby recruiting the associated LCK protein to the vicinity of the TCR/CD3 complex. LCK then phosphorylates tyrosines residues within the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM) of the cytoplasmic tails of the TCR-gamma chains and CD3 subunits, initiating the TCR/CD3 signaling pathway. Once stimulated, the TCR recruits the tyrosine kinase ZAP70, that becomes phosphorylated and activated by LCK. Following this, a large number of signaling molecules are recruited, ultimately leading to lymphokine production. LCK also contributes to signaling by other receptor molecules. Associates directly with the cytoplasmic tail of CD2, which leads to hyperphosphorylation and activation of LCK. Also plays a role in the IL2 receptor-linked signaling pathway that controls the T-cell proliferative response. Binding of IL2 to its receptor results in increased activity of LCK. Is expressed at all stages of thymocyte development and is required for the regulation of maturation events that are governed by both pre-TCR and mature alpha beta TCR. Phosphorylates other substrates including RUNX3, PTK2B/PYK2, the microtubule-associated protein MAPT, RHOH or TYROBP.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The crystal structure of human p56(lck) SH2 domain in complex with an inhibitor containing the singly charged p-(carboxymethyl)phenylalanine residue (cmF) as a phosphotyrosine (Tyr(P) or pY) replacement has been determined at 1.8 A resolution. The binding mode of the acetyl-cmF-Glu-Glu-Ile (cmFEEI) inhibitor is very similar to that of the pYEEI inhibitor, confirming that the cmFEEI inhibitor has a similar mechanism of SH2 domain inhibition despite its significantly reduced potency. Observed conformational differences in the side chain of the cmF residue can be interpreted in terms of maintaining similar interactions with the SH2 domain as the Tyr(P) residue. The crystal structure of the free p56(lck) SH2 domain has been determined at 1.9 A resolution and shows an open conformation for the BC loop and an open phosphotyrosine binding pocket, in contrast to earlier studies on the src SH2 domain that showed mostly closed conformation. The structural information presented here suggests that the carboxymethyl-phenylalanine residue may be a viable Tyr(P) replacement and represents an attractive starting point for the design and development of SH2 domain inhibitors with better pharmaceutical profiles.
