PG - 2903-8 LID - 10.1073/pnas.1008765108 [doi] AB - NF-kappaB activation is essential for T-cell responses, and costimulatory molecules in the TNF receptor (TNFR) superfamily are viewed as a major source of this signal. Although the TNFR family recruits TNFR-associated factor (TRAF) molecules leading to IKKalpha/beta/gamma activation, it is not clear whether simple binding of TRAFs explains why they are such strong activators of NF-kappaB and so important for T-cell immunity. We now show that one TNFR family member, OX40 (CD134), after ligation by OX40L, assembles a unique complex that not only contains TRAF2, RIP, and IKKalpha/beta/gamma but also CARMA1, MALT1, BCL10, and PKC, molecules previously shown to regulate NF-kappaB activation through the T-cell receptor (TCR). The OX40 signalosome is formed in membrane microdomains irrespective of TCR engagement, and strongly promotes NF-kappaB activation only if CARMA1 and PKC are recruited. This NF-kappaB signal allows effector/memory T cells to survive when antigen is no longer available. Thus, by recruiting TCR-related intracellular molecules into the TRAF2 complex, OX40 provides the T cell with a high level of NF-kappaB activity needed for longevity.
