The Rho GTPase Cdc42 regulates cytoskeletal changes at the immunological synapse (IS) that are critical to T-cell activation. By imaging fluorescent activity biosensors (Raichu) using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, Cdc42 activation was shown to display kinetics that are conditional on the specific receptor input (through two IS-associated receptors, CD3 and beta1 integrin). CD3-triggered Cdc42 activity is dependent on the cyto-2 (NPIY) motif of the beta1 integrin cytoplasmic domain. P ...[more]
