T Cell Receptor zeta  Allows Stable Expression of Receptors Containing the CD3gamma Leucine-based Receptor-sorting Motif

Jes Dietrich and Carsten Geisler

From the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of Copenhagen, The Panum Institute, DK-2200 Copenhagen, Denmark

The leucine-based motif in the T cell receptor (TCR) subunit CD3gamma constitutes a strong internalization signal. In fully assembled TCR this motif is inactive unless phosphorylated. In contrast, the motif is constitutively active in CD4/CD3gamma and Tac/CD3gamma chimeras independently of phosphorylation and leads to rapid internalization and sorting of these chimeras to lysosomal degradation. Because the TCRzeta chain rescues incomplete TCR complexes from lysosomal degradation and allows stable surface expression of fully assembled TCR, we addressed the question whether TCRzeta has the potential to mask the CD3gamma leucine-based motif. By studying CD4/CD3gamma and CD16/CD3gamma chimeras, we found that CD16/CD3gamma chimeras associated with TCRzeta . The CD16/CD3gamma -TCRzeta complexes were stably expressed at the cell surface and had a low spontaneous internalization rate, indicating that the leucine-based motif in these complexes was inactive. In contrast, the CD4/CD3gamma chimeras did not associate with TCRzeta , and the leucine-based motif in these chimeras was constitutively active resulting in a high spontaneous internalization rate and low expression of the chimeras at the cell surface. Thus, our data demonstrate that TCRzeta allows stable cell surface expression of receptors containing CD3gamma leucine-based motifs by its potential to mask such motifs.
