Ligand binding to TCR induces its internalization and cell surface down-modulation. These phenomena contribute to the extinction of activation signals. Due to the multicomponent nature of the TCR-CD3 complex, its internalization may be mediated by one or several of its subunits. Although it has been reported that CD3{gamma} and CD3{delta} contain endocytosis motifs involved in the internalization of the TCR-CD3 complex, other subunits could also be involved in this process. For instance, CD3{epsilon} and CD{zeta} display amino acid sequences reminiscent of internalization motifs. To investigate whether CD3{epsilon} bears endocytosis signals, we have analyzed the internalization capacity of a panel of deletion and point mutants of CD3{epsilon} that were expressed on the cell surface independently of other TCR-CD3 subunits. Here we report that CD3{epsilon} displays endocytosis determinants. These data indicate that CD3{epsilon} could contribute to the internalization and cell surface down-regulation of TCR-CD3 complexes. Moreover, the existence of endocytosis signals in this polypeptide could serve to retrieve unassembled CD3{epsilon} subunits or partial CD3 complexes from the plasma membrane, thus restricting the expression on the cell surface to fully functional TCR-CD3 complexes.
