How Lck is recruited to the TCR to initiate signaling is not well known. Here Minguet and colleagues report a previously unknown binding motif in the CD3ε cytoplasmic tail that interacts in a noncanonical mode with the Lck SH3 domain that may help to improve TCR activation and the antitumor activity of a clinically approved CAR.
