Previous studies have shown that CD8ß plays a role in both
enhancing CD8
-associated Lck kinase activity and promoting the
development of CD8-lineage T cells. To examine the role of this
enhancement in the maturation of CD8-lineage cells, we assessed
CD8-associated Lck kinase activity in both T cell hybridomas and
thymocytes of mice expressing CD8ß mutations known to impair CD8 T
cell development. Lack of CD8ß expression or expression of a
cytoplasmic domain-deleted CD8ß resulted in a severalfold reduction
in CD8-associated Lck kinase activity compared with that observed
with cells expressing wild-type CD8ß chain. This analysis indicated a
critical role for the cytoplasmic domain of CD8ß in the regulation of
CD8-associated Lck activity. Decreased CD8-associated Lck
activity observed with the various CD8ß mutations also correlated
with diminished in vivo cellular tyrosine phosphorylation. In addition,
analysis of CD8ß mutant mice (CD8ß-/- or
cytoplasmic domain-deleted CD8ß transgenic) indicated that the degree
of reduction in CD8-associated Lck activity associated with each
mutation correlated with the severity of developmental impairment.
These results support the importance of CD8ß-mediated enhancement of
CD8-associated Lck kinase activity in the differentiation of CD8
single-positive thymocytes.
