THEMIS plays an indispensable role in T cells, but its mechanism of action is highly controversial. Using the systematic proximity labeling methodology PEPSI, we identified THEMIS as an uncharacterized substrate for the phosphatase SHP1. Saturated mutagenesis analysis revealed that THEMIS phosphorylation at the evolutionally conserved Tyr34 residue was oppositely regulated by SHP1 and the kinase LCK. Like THEMIS-/- mice, THEMISY34F/Y34F knock-in mice showed a significant decrease in CD4 thymocytes and mature CD4 T cells, but a normal thymic development and peripheral homeostasis of CD8 T cells. Mechanistically, phosphorylated THEMIS induced by TCR activation acts as a "priming substrate" to bind SHP1 and convert its phosphatase activity from basal level to nearly fully activated level, ensuring an appropriate negative regulation of TCR signaling. However, cytokine signaling in CD8 T cells failed to elicit THEMIS Y34 phosphorylation, revealing both phosphorylation-dependent and -independent roles of THEMIS in controlling T cell maturation and expansion.
