The B and T cell receptor poteins have short intra-cytoplasmic regions, so how do they transmit signals t the nucleus when bound to their corresponding antigens?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ B and T cell receptors transmit signals to the nucleus through a series of interactions with other proteins that amplify and relay the signal, despite their short intracellular domains. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Initial Signal Transduction ⋮ B and T cell receptors (BCRs and TCRs) initiate signal transduction upon antigen binding, despite their short cytoplasmic tails. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Recruitment of Co-receptors and Kinases ⋮ Co-receptors (CD19 for B cells, CD4/CD8 for T cells) and kinases (such as Lyn, Syk, and ZAP-70) are recruited to the receptor complex, which then phosphorylate downstream signaling molecules. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Signal Amplification ⋮ The phosphorylated molecules activate various signaling cascades, leading to the amplification of the signal. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Nuclear Translocation ⋮ Transcription factors are activated as a result of these cascades and translocate to the nucleus to alter gene expression. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Signal transduction in B and T cells involves a cascade of events that amplify the initial signal from the receptor to the nucleus. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The short intracellular domains of BCRs and TCRs are compensated by the recruitment of co-receptors and kinases that amplify the signal through multiple signaling pathways, ultimately leading to changes in gene expression. ⚹◊How do B and T cell receptors activate signaling pathways without relying on long intra-cytoplasmic regions?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
