We have characterized the pre-TCR/CD3 complex and the clonotype- independent CD3 (CIC) complex expressed on the cell surface of the immature cell line KKF which we previously identified as the cell line expressing only TCR beta-chain associated with the CD3 complex on the cell surface. We now show that KKF expresses the pT alpha-beta heterodimer-CD3 complex and also the CIC complex on the cell surface by surface biotinylation. In addition, not only the CIC complex but also the pT alpha-beta complex was found to be associated with the molecular chaperon calnexin. Whereas the CD3 zeta-chain was very weakly associated with the pre-TCR/CD3 complex, a 12-kDa molecule (designated pTAC12 as pre-TCR-associated chain) was more stably associated as a dimer with the pre-TCR complex as well as the CIC complex on KKF cells. The significance of pTAC12 dimer in the CD3 complex of immature thymocytes in vivo was demonstrated by coprecipitation of pTAC12 with the CD3 complex in thymocytes from SCID mice. These results show that pTAC12 is a component of the pT alpha-beta complex as well as the CIC complex, and they suggest that pTAC12 may play a role in signaling through and/or in the expression of the pre-TCR/CD3 complex.
