The T cell receptor (TcR) for antigen is composed of variable α and β subunits in noncovalent association with the invariant T3 multimer. TcR/T3 transcripts accumulate in a specific sequence during T cell development; TcR α transcripts are the last in the series to accumulate. To explore the regulation of TcR α gene expression, we investigated a T lymphoma cell clone which constitutively expresses TcR β, T3 † and T3 e mRNA, but essentially lacks detectable TcR α mRNA. The cell clone can be induced to accumulate substantial amounts of TcR α mRNA in response to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or calcium ionophore A23187. Two different protein synthesis inhibitors also induce TcR α mRNA. The following evidence indicates that PMA, A23187 and cycloheximide induce TcR α by different mechanisms: (a) treatment with a combination of two agents induces greater than additive amounts of TcR a mRNA than that induced by a single agent; (b) the immunosuppresent cyclosporin A specifically inhibits A23187‐mediated TcR α mRNA induction, whereas it fails to inhibit PMA or cycloheximide‐mediated induction; and (c) both A23187 and PMA increase the rate of TcR α gene transcription, while cycloheximide influences TcR α mRNA accumulation by post‐transcriptional mechanisms.
