From the Lck is a lymphoid-specific, Src family
protein-tyrosine kinase that is known to interact with the T-cell
coreceptors, CD4 and CD8. This interaction, which is critical for
proper T-cell function, is mediated by the N-terminal unique region of
Lck and the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of the coreceptors. A pair of cysteines on each molecule is essential for association, suggesting that CD4 or CD8 may interact with Lck by jointly coordinating a metal
ion. We describe here experiments in which a maltose-binding protein
fusion protein bearing the CD4 tail has been coexpressed in
Escherichia coli with an N-terminal fragment of Lck. The
proteins associate in the expressing cells, forming a complex that can be affinity-purified. Formation of this complex, like the in
vivo interaction, depends upon the two pairs of cysteines.
Biochemical and biophysical experiments show that the complex
dissociates in the presence of EDTA and that it contains a single
Zn2+ ion. These results are consistent with the proposal
that Lck and CD4 associate by thiol-mediated co-coordination of
zinc.

the N-terminal Region of Lck
