title: Presenilins regulate alphabeta T cell development by modulating TCR signaling.
abstract: TCRalphabeta signaling is crucial for the maturation of CD4 and CD8 T cells, but the role of the Notch signaling pathway in this process is poorly understood. Genes encoding Presenilin (PS) 1/2 were deleted to prevent activation of the multiple Notch receptors expressed by developing thymocytes. PS1/2 knockout thymocyte precursors inefficiently generate CD4 T cells, a phenotype that is most pronounced when thymocytes bear a single major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-restricted T cell receptor (TCR). Diminished T cell production correlated with evidence of impaired TCR signaling, and could be rescued by manipulations that enhance MHC recognition. Although Notch appears to directly regulate binary fate decisions in many systems, these findings suggest a model in which PS-dependent Notch signaling influences positive selection and the development of alphabeta T cells by modifying TCR signal transduction.
