Janus kinase 3-severe combined immunodeficiency (JAK3-SCID) is an autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disease caused by various mutations in the JAK3 gene. Typical JAK3-SCID is characterized by a phenotype in which B cells are present but T and NK cells are not, the T-B+NK- phenotype, and by impaired signaling through cytokine receptors that use the common gamma chain (gamma c) subunit. An atypical JAK3-SCID case carrying a single glutamate to glycine substitution mutation (E481G) in the JH3 domain of one JAK3 allele, and a deletion mutation (del482-596) in the JH3 and JH2 domains of the other allele was reported previously. Although this patient had CD4(+) T cells and NK cells unlike typical cases, the CD4(+) T cells were functionally impaired. We report here that the JAK3-E481G mutant transduced 11-2-, IL-4-, IL-15-, and IL-21-induced signals as efficiently as wild-type JAK3. However, this mutant failed to respond to IL-7 by phosphorylating JAK1,JAK3, or STAT5. The other mutant JAK3, JAK3-del482-596, was non-functional. Thus, an impaired IL-7 signal may cause SCID and compromise T-cell differentiation, even if the IL-15 signal is preserved and supports NK-cell development, as in this patient. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
