Ligand detection and discrimination by spatial relocalization: A kinase-phosphatase segregation model of TCR activation.

We develop a model of tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the T-cell receptor (TCR) by localization to regions of close membrane-membrane proximity (close contact) that physically exclude tyrosine phosphatases such as CD45. Phosphatase exclusion generates regions of low phosphatase and high k...
