TSAd is required for normal TCR-induced synthesis of IL-2 and other cytokines in T cells and acts at least in part by promoting activation of the LCK protein tyrosine kinase at the outset of the TCR signaling cascade. By contrast, ALX functions as a negative-regulator of TCR-induced IL-2 synthesis through as yet undetermined mechanisms. In this study, we report a novel T cell-expressed adapter protein named SH2D4A that contains an SH2 domain that is highly homologous to the TSAd protein and ALX SH2 domains and that shares other structural features with these adapters. To examine the function of SH2D4A in T cells we produced SH2D4A-deficient mice by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. T cell development, homeostasis, proliferation, and function were all found to be normal in these mice. Furthermore, knockdown of SH2D4A expression in human T cells did not impact upon their function. We conclude that in contrast to TSAd and ALX proteins, SH2D4A is dispensable for TCR signal transduction in T cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.181.3.2019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,18]],"date-time":"2014-04-18T23:00:52Z","timestamp":1397862052000},"page":"2019-2027","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Genetic Analysis of SH2D4A, a Novel Adapter Protein Related to T Cell-Specific Adapter and Adapter Protein in Lymphocytes of Unknown Function, Reveals a Redundant Function in T Cells"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"181","author":[{"given":"Philip E","family":"Lapinski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer A","family":"Oliver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lynn A","family":"Kamen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth D","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transgenic Animal Model Core"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas L","family":"Saunders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transgenic Animal Model Core"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Molecular Medicine and Genetics, University of Michigan Medical School , Ann Arbor, MI 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philip D","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Immunology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032608194561300_R1","first-page":"301","article-title":"Adapters in lymphocyte signaling","volume-title":"J.
