The formation of microclusters is a hallmark of PD1 engagement with its ligands, yet the physical basis and functional significance of this phenomenon remain unclear. Here we show that ligand-bound PD1 licenses Shp2 self-association and liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), producing dynamic PD1:Shp2 condensates whose liquidity depends on Shp2 catalytic activity. Mutations that selectively disrupt Shp2 self-association weaken PD1 microcluster formation and impair PD1 inhibitory function. Mechanistically, PD1-induced Shp2 LLPS promotes the co-compartmentalization of signaling substrates such as CD3{zeta} and CD28, thereby facilitating its dephosphorylation. These findings identify Shp2 LLPS as an intrinsic organizing principle of the PD1 inhibitory pathway that links enzymatic activation, substrate selectivity and mesoscale assembly to suppress T cell activation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
