The CD3ε cytoplasmic tail contains a conserved proline-rich sequence (PRS) that influences TCR–CD3 expression and signaling. Although the PRS can bind the SH3.1 domain of the cytosolic adapter Nck, whether the PRS is constitutively available for Nck binding or instead represents a cryptic motif that is exposed via conformational change upon TCR–CD3 engagement (CD3Δc) is currently unresolved. Furthermore, the extent to which a cis-acting CD3ε basic amino acid-rich stretch (BRS), with its unique phosphoinositide-binding capability, might impact PRS accessibility is not clear. In this study, we found that freshly harvested primary thymocytes expressed low to moderate basal levels of Nck-accessible PRS (“open-CD3”), although most TCR–CD3 complexes were inaccessible to Nck (“closed-CD3”). Ag presentation in vivo induced open-CD3, accounting for half of the basal level found in thymocytes from MHC+ mice. Additional stimulation with either anti-CD3 Abs or peptide–MHC ligands further elevated open-CD3 above basal levels, consistent with a model wherein antigenic engagement induces maximum PRS exposure. We also found that the open-CD3 conformation induced by APCs outlasted the time of ligand occupancy, marking receptors that had been engaged. Finally, CD3ε BRS–phosphoinositide interactions played no role in either adoption of the initial closed-CD3 conformation or induction of open-CD3 by Ab stimulation. Thus, a basal level of open-CD3 is succeeded by a higher, induced level upon TCR–CD3 engagement, involving CD3Δc and prolonged accessibility of the CD3ε PRS to Nck.
