SKAP55 (SKAP1) was identified as a novel adaptor protein that constitutively associates with the Src-family kinase p59(fyn) in T-lymphocytes. SKAP55 contains a pleckstrin homology domain, a C-terminal SH3 domain, and tyrosine phosphorylation sites. In vitro binding assays showed SKAP55 selectively binds SH2 domains of Lck, Lyn, Src, and Fyn but not ZAP70, Syk, Shc, SLP-76, Grb2, PI3K, or c-abl. SKAP55 is constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated in resting T-lymphocytes. |

SKAP55 binds FYB (ADAP/SLAP-130) through its SH3 domain and acts as a substrate for FYN kinase in T cells. FYB and SKAP55 colocalize in the perinuclear region of cells. A related protein SKAP55R also binds FYB via its SH3 domain. |

SKAP55 directly associates with SLAP-130 (ADAP/FYB) in human T-cells. The interaction involves the SH3 domain of SKAP55 and the proline-rich sequence of SLAP-130, as demonstrated by truncation mutants and yeast two-hybrid. |

The SH3 domain of FYN binds a novel proline-independent RKxxYxxY motif in SKAP55. Class I SH3 domains bound this motif while class II domains did not. Two-dimensional NMR of FYN-SH3 bound to the RKGDYASY peptide showed overlap with the proline-rich peptide binding site on the charged surface of the SH3 domain. Alanine scanning confirmed the requirement for the arginine, lysine and tandem tyrosines. Expression of the RKGDYASY peptide inhibited TcRzeta/CD3-mediated NF-AT transcription in T cells. |

SKAP55 undergoes TCR-induced translocation from cytoplasm to membrane and to lipid rafts. Upon TCR activation, SKAP55 forms homodimers through its SH3 domain and SK region, interacts with Fyn kinase and Grb-2 (dependent on phosphorylation of Y271), and its stable overexpression activates MAPK following TCR engagement. |

SKAP55 associates with CD45 in T cells via Tyr-232 of SKAP55 (identified by yeast two-hybrid and mutational analysis). Anti-CD3 stimulation promotes SKAP55 tyrosine phosphorylation and membrane translocation. Overexpression of SKAP55 induces IL-2 promoter activation, while SKAP55-Y232F mutant suppresses it and causes Fyn hyperphosphorylation with decreased kinase activity, suggesting SKAP55 couples CD45 with Src kinases for their dephosphorylation and TCR signal activation. |

SKAP-55 (SKAP1) regulates integrin-mediated adhesion and T cell-APC conjugate formation. SKAP-55 enhances adhesion to fibronectin and ICAM-1, colocalizes with actin at the T cell-APC immunological synapse, and promotes LFA-1 clustering. This function requires the SKAP-55 SH3 domain. SKAP-55 translocates to membrane rafts upon LFA-1 and TCR co-ligation. |

In mast cells, SKAP55 forms an adaptor complex with SLAP-130 and MIST. SLAP-130 requires collaboration with SKAP55 for the recruitment of MIST to Lyn. MIST is preferentially recruited to Fyn (over Lyn) due to higher affinity binding of the SLAP-130/SKAP55 complex to the Fyn-SH2 domain. |

SKAP-55 is essential for TCR-mediated 'inside-out signaling' required for LFA-1 clustering and T cell-APC conjugation. siRNA knockdown of SKAP-55 abolished LFA-1 clustering but had no effect on TCR-CD3 clustering. SKAP-55R (SKAP2) cannot substitute for SKAP-55 in this function, indicating a unique non-redundant role. |

SKAP55 protein stability is dependent on ADAP. In ADAP-deficient Jurkat T cells, SKAP55 has a half-life of ~15-20 min (vs ~90 min in the presence of ADAP) due to increased proteolysis. ADAP restores SKAP55 stability 5-fold by decreasing its degradation rate. This protective effect requires the SKAP55 SH3 domain (which mediates SKAP55-ADAP interaction). |

The ADAP/SKAP55 signaling module is involved in TCR-mediated inside-out signaling by recruiting activated Rap1 to the plasma membrane. Disruption of the ADAP/SKAP55 module displaces Rap1 from the plasma membrane without affecting Rap1 GTPase activity. Membrane-targeted ADAP/SKAP55 induces T-cell adhesion in the absence of TCR stimulation. |

ADAP SH3c domain binds a non-canonical RKxxY294xxY297 motif in SKAP-55. FYN kinase phosphorylates Y294 in vivo, blocking ADAP-SH3c binding. Surface plasmon resonance showed phosphorylation of Y294 mediates dissociation while Y297 phosphorylation had no effect. The Y294F mutation blocked TCR-induced LFA-1-mediated adhesion to ICAM-1 and IL-2 promoter activity. |

SKAP55 co-immunoprecipitates with the Ras activator RasGRP1. Binding requires the C-terminus of SKAP55 and is enhanced by tyrosine phosphorylation of SKAP55. SKAP55 overexpression disrupts TCR-to-Ras-Erk-AP1 signaling, while knockdown decreases ERK phosphorylation and AP-1 activation. Constitutively active Ras or Raf-1 overcomes the inhibitory effect of SKAP55 overexpression. |

SKAP1 N-terminal domain binds the C-terminal SARAH domain of RapL, forming a SKAP1-RapL-Rap1 complex that binds LFA-1. In Skap1-/- primary T cells, TCR-induced Rap1-RapL complex formation and LFA-1 binding failed to occur. A RapL mutation (L224A) that abrogated SKAP1 binding disrupted component colocalization in vesicles and T cell-DC conjugation. RapL expression slowed T cell motility in lymph nodes, an effect reversed by L224A mutation with reduced dwell times with DCs. |

The PH domain of SKAP1 is required for RapL membrane localization and Rap1-LFA-1 complex formation. A PH domain-inactivating mutation (R131M) markedly impaired RapL translocation to membranes, Rap1 and LFA-1 binding, and LFA-1-ICAM-1 adhesion. N-terminal myristoylated SKAP1 facilitated constitutive RapL membrane and Rap1 binding, effectively substituting for PI3K and TCR ligation in LFA-1 activation. |

The SKAP55 PH domain (specifically R131M mutation) determines the ability of the ADAP/SKAP55 module to recruit ADAP to LFA-1 integrin complexes upon TCR stimulation. Association of ADAP with SKAP55 is both sufficient and necessary for rescue of integrin function in ADAP-deficient T cells. The R131M SKAP55 mutant, while unable to restore integrin function, restored NF-κB signaling in ADAP-deficient T cells, indicating that SKAP55 association with ADAP segregates integrin and NF-κB functions of ADAP. |

The ADAP/SKAP55 module regulates CCR7-mediated LFA-1 activation by forming two independent pools: one interacting with a RAPL/Mst1 complex and the other linked to a RIAM/Mst1/Kindlin-3 complex. Both complexes require ADAP/SKAP55 for binding to LFA-1 upon CCR7 stimulation. Loss of the module delays T-cell homing and reduces intranodal motility in vivo. |

SKAP55 is required for SLP-76 microcluster persistence and movement, junctional stabilization, and integrin-independent adhesion via the TCR. These functions require SKAP55 dimerization and ADAP interaction. The SKAP55 dimerization motif enables co-immunoprecipitation of RIAM, recruitment of talin into TCR-induced adhesive junctions, and inside-out signaling to β1 integrins. A tandem dimer with two ADAP-binding SKAP55 SH3 domains stabilized SLP-76 microclusters but could not support adhesion to integrin ligands. |

The ADAP-SKAP55 signaling module promotes PD-1 expression on CD8+ T cells in a Fyn-, Ca2+-, and NFATc1-dependent manner. Knockout of SKAP55 or ADAP reduced PD-1 expression on CD8+ effector cells and enhanced anti-tumor immunity in DC vaccine models. NFATc1 inhibitor CsA also downregulated PD-1, consistent with SKAP55 acting upstream of NFATc1. |

SKAP1 is phosphorylated by and binds to PLK1 at N-terminal serine 31 (S31). This interaction is needed for optimal PLK1 kinase activity. siRNA knockdown of SKAP1 reduced T-cell division and delayed expression of PLK1, Cyclin A and pH3. Reconstitution with WT SKAP1 but not the S31 mutant restored normal cell division. SKAP1-PLK1 binding is dynamically regulated during the T-cell cycle. |
