CD28 in regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics at the immunological synapse.

Cytoskeletal regulator CD28-induced modification Effect on cytoskeleton Reference
Vav1 Phosphorylation, leading to activation Vav1 controls activity of small Rho GTPases Cdc42 and Rac1 that regulate actin polymerization activity of WASP and WAVE2, respectively Nunes et al. (102), Raab et al. (104), Salazar-Fontana et al. (103), Schneider and Rudd (106)
Filamin A Direct interaction with CD28, phosphorylation Filamin A has a role in actin crosslinking Muscolini et al. (111), Tavano et al. (108)
Cofilin Dephosphorylation, leading to activation Actin severing protein. Blocking cofilin–actin interaction reduces T cell:APC conjugation Lee et al. (119), Wabnitz et al. (120)
Rltpr Unknown Actin-uncapping protein. Wild-type Rltpr is required for CD28-dependent costimulation, but this seems to be independent of its actin-uncapping function Liang et al. (113)
CapZIP Phosphorylation Actin-uncapping protein. CapZIP is required for CD28-dependent costimulation, but its effect on T cell cytoskeleton are unknown Tian et al. (110)
