| Abstract | The intracellular fate of newly synthesized T-cell receptor (TCR) chains was compared in CD4+CD8+ (double positive; DP) thymocytes and in CD4+CD8- or CD4-CD8+ (single positive; SP) thymocytes. Purified DP and SP thymocytes from normal adult mice were analyzed by pulse-chase metabolic labeling and immunoprecipitation with specific anti-TCR antibodies. Biosynthesis of invariant chains (CD3 gamma, -delta, -epsilon, and zeta) was comparable between DP and SP thymocytes, whereas DP thymocytes synthesized TCR alpha and TCR beta chains at lower and higher levels than SP thymocytes, respectively. These newly synthesized TCR chains were degraded at different rates in SP thymocytes based on their sensitivities for degradation as previously reported: TCR alpha, TCR beta, CD3 gamma, and CD3 delta chains were rapidly degraded and CD3 epsilon and zeta chains were stable. Although the degradation rates of clonotypic and invariant CD3 chains were similar in DP and SP thymocytes, the zeta subunit was rapidly degraded in DP thymocytes (t1/2, approximately 1.5 hr). Degradation of zeta was inhibited by NH4Cl, implicating lysosomes as the site of degradation. Comparison of TCR subunit assembly in DP and SP thymocytes demonstrated that, despite the same relative rate of formation of TCR complexes in a pulse period (30 min), complete complexes were unstable and degraded during the subsequent 6 hr of chase in DP thymocytes. This contrasted with the stability and a progressive increase in the levels of completely assembled complexes in SP thymocytes. Thus, these results demonstrate that a unique posttranslational regulation operates in the formation of TCR complexes in DP thymocytes and that lack of stability of complete TCR complexes is a crucial mechanism that may account for the limited surface TCR expression on this thymocyte subset. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
