Abstract
T-cell receptor (TCR) engagement induces the maturation of thymocytes and the activation and proliferation of peripheral T cells through signaling pathways that target several transcription factors. The transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) has an essential role in the activation of mature T cells but the signaling pathway leading from TCR stimulation to NF-κB activation is not well defined. Carma1, Bcl10 and MALT1 are recently identified proteins that have an important and previously unexpected role in antigen receptor-induced NF-κB activation and the control of lymphocyte proliferation. We believe that the recent advances in this field could stimulate research for the development of new immunomodulatory drugs and could lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of lymphomas and potentially of other immune disorders.
