Interleukin-13 Receptor  But Not Chain: A
Functional Component of Interleukin-4 Receptors

From the Laboratory of Molecular Tumor Biology, Division of Cellular
and Gene Therapy, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Food
and Drug Administration, Bethesda, MD.
In hematopoietic cells, interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) chain
(termed c) is shown to be a component of the IL-4R
system, whereas in nonhematopoietic cells, c is absent
and it is not a component of the IL-4R system. Here, we show that the
IL-13R  chain (termed IL-13R ) but not the IL-13R
chain (termed IL-13R ) can substitute for c and,
thus, IL-13R forms a novel component of the IL-4R system.
This conclusion was drawn on the basis of chemical cross-linking,
immunoprecipitation, the ability of IL-13R but not IL-13R
to augment IL-4 binding affinity, and the requirement of
IL-13R for IL-4-induced STAT6 activation in Chinese hamster
ovary (CHO) cells transfected with various receptor subunits.
Cotransfection of IL-4 receptor p140 (termed IL-4R ) with
c or IL-13R increased IL-4 binding affinity
and allowed for STAT6 activation in response to IL-4. However,
cotransfection of all three chains did not further increase IL-4
binding or alter the extent of STAT6 activation suggesting that all
three chains together do not seem to participate in IL-4 function.
Instead, IL-4R heterodimerizes with c or
IL-13R and mediates STAT6 activation. Cotransfection of
IL-4R with IL-13R neither increased IL-4 binding affinity nor
allowed for STAT6 activation in response to IL-4 indicating that
IL-13R does not convert binding affinity nor transmit signals for
IL-4. Because IL-4 phosphorylates JAK1 and JAK2 tyrosine kinases in
nonhematopoietic cells, we investigated whether JAK1 and JAK2 are
required for IL-4-induced STAT6 activation in various transfectants.
Cotransfection experiments with different chains of IL-4R and
kinase-deficient JAK1 and JAK2 mutants in CHO cells showed that JAK1
and JAK2 are required for optimal activation of STAT6 in the
  transfectant but only partially in the
 c transfectant. Taken together, our results show that
IL-13R is a novel functional component of the IL-4R system
and that JAK1 and JAK2 mediate IL-4-induced optimal activation of
STAT6 in nonhematopoietic cells.
