Actin-regulatory effectors such as WASP, mDIA1, and ROCK are thought to collaboratively control the cytoskeletal architecture that allows cells to migrate. , 2002). , 2005). , 2007). , 2006). This suggests that WASP and WIP play separate and complementary roles in T cell homing. In addition, migration defects observed in wipÀ/À T cells might partially reflect the requirement of WIP for WASP protein stability. Interestingly, it was also shown that CXCR4induced increases in F-actin content were unaffected in both waspÀ/À and wipÀ/À T cells, but were severely compromised with wipÀ/À/waspÀ/À.

Nevertheless, for the most part, these molecules are TCR proximal components, which affect many pathways downstream of the TCR. Therefore, the molecular signaling pathways, which are directly involved in the physical movement of the MTOC following TCR engagement, have not been defined. , 2006), and are then released toward the engaged APC or target cell (Fig. 3). , 1991), and cytolytic T cells form a specialized synapse, where lytic granules polarize along with the MTOC toward the target 29 T Cell Activation and the Cytoskeleton APC MHC CD4 TCR LAT Dynein FYN ZAP70 + LCK ADAP PLCγ1 T cell SL P7 ADAP IP3 Dynein + IQGAP1 mDIA1?

Upon APC recognition, the MTOC reorients to a region just beneath the T cell–APC contact site. This MTOC polarization relies on several TCR proximal events, including activation of various kinases, SLP76 and VAV1 recruitment, as well as Ca2þ mobilization.
