We have investigated signaling events associated with the cloned 90-kDa (p90) interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7R) to determine whether changes in the signaling pathways initiated by this molecule can explain the ability of T cells to proliferate to IL-7 following activation. Using in vine kinase assays we find that the p90 IL-7R in both unstimulated and activated human T cells is physically associated with two molecules with intrinsic kinase activity. Western blotting analysis reveals these proteins to be the src kinase enzymes, p59(fyn) and p56(lck). Binding of human recombinant IL-7 to the p90 IL-7R results in increased activity of both receptor-associated kinases in both resting and activated mature T cells. Thus, the signaling pathways initiated via the p90 IL-7R-associated src kinases are unlikely to be solely responsible for the proliferation of only activated T cells in response to IL-7. Additional signals, which may derive from other IL-7R-associated molecules such as the gamma c, are clearly required for IL-7-driven proliferation of activated primary T cells.
