MGI Phenotype |
FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of tyrosine kinases involved in cytokine receptor-mediated intracellular signal transduction. It is predominantly expressed in immune cells and transduces a signal in response to its activation via tyrosine phosphorylation by interleukin receptors. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency disease). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired B cell development, small thymi and T cell proliferate. Point mutation homozygotes develop autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease, decreased susceptibility to malaria infection and/or increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.

Phenotypic Description |
The thistle phenotype was identified among N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-mutagenized G3 mice of the pedigree R2058, some of which exhibited a decrease in the B:T cell ratio (Figure 1) caused by a reduced frequency of T cells (Figure 2) coupled with a greater diminution of B cells (Figure 3), B1 cells (Figure 4), IgM+ B cells (Figure 5), and IgD+ B cells (Figure 6), all in the peripheral blood. Some mice also exhibited an increase in the CD4+ to CD8+ T cell ratio (Figure 7) caused by a decreased frequency of CD4+ T cells (Figure 8) and naïve CD4+ T cells in CD4+ T cells (Figure 9) coupled with a increased diminution of the frequency of CD8+ T cells (Figure 10), a decreased frequency of CD8+ T cells in CD3+ T cells (Figure 11), a decreased frequency of naïve CD8+ T cells in CD8+ T cells (Figure 12), and an increased frequency of effector memory CD8+ T cells in CD8+ T cells (Figure 13), all in the peripheral blood. Some mice exhibited a reduced frequency of natural killer (NK) cells (Figure 14) as well as increased frequencies of CD11c+ dendritic cells (Figure 15) and macrophages (Figure 16), all in the peripheral blood. The CD44 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) on T cells in the peripheral blood was increased in some mice (Figure 17). Some mice also exhibited a diminished T-dependent antibody response to ovalbumin administered with aluminum hydroxide (Figure 18).
|
Nature of Mutation |
Whole exome HiSeq sequencing of the G1 grandsire identified 100 mutations. All of the above phenotypic abnormalities were linked by continuous variable mapping to a mutation in Jak3: an A to T transversion at base pair 71,685,383 (v38) on chromosome 8, or base pair 9,001 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000074 encoding Jak3. The strongest association was found with a recessive model of linkage to the normalized frequency of naïve CD4 T cells in CD4 T cells in the peripheral blood (P = 3.705 x 10-23), wherein 5 variant homozygotes departed phenotypically from 11 homozygous reference mice and 23 heterozygous mice (Figure 19). The mutation is located within the acceptor splice site of intron 18 (in both Jak3 protein-coding transcripts on Ensembl; both transcripts encode the same protein), two nucleotides from exon 19. The effect of the mutation at the mRNA and protein level is unknown. One possibility, shown below, is that aberrant splicing would cause skipping of the 190-base pair exon 19 (out of 25 total exons) and a frame-shift that would result in coding of 7 aberrant amino acids followed by a premature stop codon in exon 20.

Protein Prediction |
Jak3 encodes Janus kinase 3 (JAK3). JAK3 has seven different highly conserved JAK homology (JH) regions (JH1-JH7) [Figure 20; reviewed in (1)]. The JH1 region is the kinase domain (amino acids 818-1091), the JH2 domain corresponds to the pseudokinase domain (amino acids 517-773), the JH3 and JH4 regions comprise an Src Homology 2 (SH2)-like domain (amino acids 370-460), and the JH6 and JH7 regions consist of a 4.1, ezrin, radixin, moesin (FERM) homology domain (alternatively, B41 domain; amino acids 20-254). The thistle mutation is predicted to result in deletion of exon 19 (which encodes amino acids 827-889), a frame-shift, and coding of a premature stop codon within the JAK3 kinase domain. Expression and localization of JAK3citron has not been examined. Please see the record mount_tai for more information about Jak3.
|
Putative Mechanism | JAK3 binding is restricted to hematopoietic-specific cytokine receptors that have a γc receptor subunit (i.e., the IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21 receptors) [reviewed in (1)]. The γc receptor-associated cytokines have known functions. For example, IL-7 is necessary for T and B cell development, IL-2 functions in peripheral T cell homeostasis and antigen-driven T-cell expansion, IL-15 functions in natural killer (NK) cell differentiation, IL-4 functions in B-cell maturation and isotype switching (2). JAK3 mutations result in defective γc receptor-associated signaling and subsequent defects in lymphocyte development (2;3). Mutations in JAK3 are linked to autosomal recessive T- and NK-cell negative/B-cell positive type of severe combined immunodeficiency [T−B+NK- SCID; OMIM: #600802; (4-6); reviewed in (2)]. Patients with T−B+NK- SCID do not have T or NK cells, but have normal to elevated numbers of immature nonfunctional B lymphocytes (5;6). Patients with SCID have persistent, recurring infections due to loss of T cell-associated immunity. Jak3 knockout (Jak3-/-) mice have reduced numbers of T, B, γδ T, and NK cells (7-11). B cell maturation in the Jak3-/- mice is blocked at the pre-B stage, leading to a reduced frequency of IgM+ B cells (10). Thistle mice exhibit reduced frequencies of T, B and NK cells as well as a reduced frequency of IgM+ B cells, indicating that JAK3thistle has loss of function.
