Lee Mosley,*,# Vimla Band,*,†,‡ and Hamid Band*,†,‡,x,{,# T cells use the endocytic pathway for key cell biological functions, including receptor turnover and maintenance of the immuno- logical synapse. Some of the established players include the Rab GTPases, the SNARE complex proteins, and others, which function together with EPS-15 homology domain–containing (EHD) proteins in non–T cell systems. To date, the role of the EHD protein family in T cell function remains unexplored. We generated conditional EHD1/3/4 knockout mice using CD4-Cre and crossed Downloaded from these with mice bearing a myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein–specific TCR transgene. We found that CD4+ T cells from these mice exhibited reduced Ag-driven proliferation and IL-2 secretion in vitro. In vivo, these mice exhibited reduced severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Further analyses showed that recycling of the TCR-CD3 complex was impaired, leading to increased lysosomal targeting and reduced surface levels on CD4+ T cells of EHD1/3/4 knockout mice. Our studies reveal a novel role of the EHD family of endocytic recycling regulatory proteins in TCR-mediated T cell functions.

Therefore, the mechanisms that endosome/multivesicular bodies and lysosomes for degradation, or ensure optimal levels of the TCR and accessory receptors on the recycle back to the cell surface either through a Rab4+ fast T cell surface prior to Ag stimulation are fundamentally critical to recycling endosome (directly to the plasma membrane) or through generating an effective immune response.
