Research Abstract	昨年度の解析により、Jak3がT細胞増設シグナルにのみではなく、T細胞の分化・機能維持にも重要であることが明らかになった。Jak3がTCRシグナルに関与するかを解析した結果、Jak3がTRC刺激によって直接リン酸化されることが判明した。しかも、DC3ζ鎖とJak3をCo-transfectすることによって、Jac3は直接DC3ζ鎖と会合することが明らかになった。キナーゼドメインを欠損した変異Jac3を導入したT細胞では、抗原刺激に伴うIL-2産生が低下したことから、Jac3がTCRシグナルを担う伝達分子であり、IL-2産生を制御していると考えられる。一方、未熟T細胞に発現するプレTCR複合体を解析することによって、プレTCRをカルネキシンと共に、新たな12kd(pTAC12)と会合していることが明らかにした。大量の細胞よりこの蛋白質を精製し、部分アミノ酸配列を決定したところ、CD3γ鎖と同一であることが判明した。そこで5^,RACE法によって、CD3γと配列を共有するcDNAをクローニングしたところ、CD3γの膜貫通部を含むエキソンを欠損するアルタナティスプライシングの産物であることが明らかになった。抗CD3γ鎖抗体を用いることにより、確かに未熟T細胞に検出されるpTAC12が反応することが判明した。また、TCRシグナルによるT細胞分化を解析するため、昨年度はHY特異的TCR-TgとDC3ζ-欠損マウスを用いて解析したが、本年度はペプチド量を変化させることのできなるOVA特異的TCR-TgとDC3ζ欠損マウスを用い、TCRシグナルの強さを低くすることによって、これらのTCRシグナルと選択の量的関係を明らかにすることに成功した。
