JAK3 protein tyrosine kinase mediates interleukin-7-induced activation of phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase

N Sharfe, HK Dadi and CM Roifman

Division of Immunology and Allergy, Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The interleukin-7 (IL-7) receptor is expressed throughout T-cell differentiation and, although lacking a tyrosine kinase domain, mediates tyrosine phosphorylation in T cells. We have identified IL-7- induced activation of three cyoplasmic tyrosine kinases in T cells, Jak1, Jak3, and the src-like kinase p56lck. Many members of the cytokine receptor superfamily activate the Jak protein tyrosine kinase family, with resultant phosphorylation of the Stat transcriptional activator factors. We describe here a novel function of the Jak kinases, because Jak kinase activity is not only required for Stat activation but also for P13 kinase response to IL-7 in human T cells. We show that IL-7 receptor-mediated Jak activation can occur independently of p56lck activity. IL-7-induced P13 kinase activation, mediated by tyrosine phosphorylation of the P13 kinase p85 subunit, is essential to the IL-7 proliferative signal and also occurs in the absence of src family kinase activity. Jak3 is found associated with the p85 subunit of P13 kinase in an IL-7-responsive manner in T cells and appears to regulate IL-7-induced P13 kinase activation by mediating tyrosine phosphorylation of the p85 subunit. Specific inhibition of IL- 7-induced Jak kinase activity ablates p85 tyrosine phosphorylation, subsequent P13 kinase activation, and, ultimately, proliferation. The ability to regulate P13 kinase activity indicates a more generalized role for the Jak family than activation of gene transcription via the Stat family in cytokine receptor signal transduction.
