<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Induction of T cell responses following engagement of the Ag-specific TCR depends on TCR-initiated rearrangements of the cellular actin cytoskeleton and highly coordinated and tightly regulated interactions and of diverse intracellular signaling proteins. In this study, we show that filamin A (FLNa), an actin-binding and signal mediator scaffolding protein, is required for T cell activation. Following Ag stimulation, FLNa was recruited to the T cell-APC contact area, where it colocalized with protein kinase C-θ (PKCθ). Depletion of FLNa by RNA interference did not affect TCR-induced early tyrosine phosphorylation or actin polymerization but, nevertheless, resulted in impaired IL-2 expression by human primary T cells and reduced activation of NF-κB, AP-1, and NFAT reporter genes in transfected T cells. TCR stimulation induced stable physical association of FLNa with PKCθ. Furthermore, the TCR/CD28-induced membrane translocation of PKCθ was inhibited in FLNa-depleted T cells. These results reveal novel role for FLNa in the TCR/CD28 signaling pathway leading to transcription factor activation and IL-2 production, and suggest that this role is mediated, in part, through the inducible interaction of FLNa with PKCθ.</jats:p>
