We have examined transmembrane signaling events via the TCR/CD3 complex (TCR/CD3) at various stages of T cell development for evidence of developmental regulation. Engagement of TCR/CD3 induced defective activation of phospholipase C (PLC) in thymocytes relative to peripheral blood T lymphocytes. The defect in PLC activation via TCR/CD3 was restricted to immature thymocytes (CD3low, CD4+CD8+). Mature thymocytes (CD3high, CD4+CD8-/CD8+CD4-) were similar to PBL in signaling via TCR/CD3. Both immature and mature thymocytes expressed a similar profile of PLC isoenzyme mRNA species, indicating that the defect in signaling in immature thymocytes was not due to altered expression of PLC isoenzymes. Activation of tyrosine phosphorylation pathways implicated in the coupling of TCR/CD3 to PLC was impaired in immature thymocytes, as evidenced by depressed phosphorylation of CD3 zeta subunit after stimulation with anti TCR/CD3 mAb. This was associated with lower levels of p59fyn tyrosine kinase and minimal or undetectable stimulus-induced kinase activation in immature thymocytes relative to mature thymocytes. We conclude that the capacity to signal via TCR/CD3 is regulated during T cell development by mechanisms acting at the level of TCR/CD3-associated tyrosine phosphorylation pathways.

D007527 Isoenzymes Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics. Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS. Lecithinase C,Phospholipase C,Phospholipases, Type C,Phospholipases C
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011518 Proto-Oncogene Proteins Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth. They often have protein kinase activity.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
