Expression of the transmembrane protein Tim-3 is increased on dysregulated T cells undergoing chronic T cell activation, including in chronic infection and solid tumors. We and others previously reported that Tim-3 exerts apparently paradoxical co-stimulatory activity in T cells (and other cells), including enhancement of ribosomal S6 protein phosphorylation (pS6). Here we examined the upstream signaling pathways that control Tim3-mediated increases in pS6 in T cells. We have also defined the localization of Tim-3 relative to the T cell immune synapse and impacts on downstream signaling. Recruitment of Tim-3 to the immune synapse was mediated exclusively by the transmembrane domain, replacement of which impaired Tim-3 co-stimulation of pS6. Strikingly, enforced localization of the Tim-3 cytoplasmic domain to the immune synapse in the context of a chimeric antigen receptor still allowed for robust T cell activation. Our findings are consistent with a model whereby Tim-3 enhances TCR-proximal signaling under acute conditions. One Sentence SummaryHere we define elements of signaling and localization associated with Tim-3 co-stimulatory function in T cells.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
