Immunometabolism regulates functions and fates of immune cells including T cells. Supersulphides, which are universal metabolites containing catenated sulphur atoms, have various physiological functions based on their unique redox properties. Here we found that activation of T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling was accompanied by supersulphide decrease, which suggests a regulatory contribution of sulphur metabolism to immune function. Consistently, inhibiting supersulphide synthesis facilitated TCR activation and exacerbated allergen-induced type 2 inflammation in mice. Supplementation with glutathione trisulphide (GSSSG), a major endogenous supersulphide, suppressed TCR signalling in naive CD4+ T cells and their differentiation and effectively alleviated the inflammation. Docking simulation revealed interaction of GSSSG with CD3{varepsilon} chain in the TCR/CD3 complex, which was supported by mass spectrometry detection of persulphidated glutathionylation at a functionally important CXXC motif of CD3{varepsilon} chain. This study identified a new post-translational modification with supersulfides and demonstrated a critical contribution of sulphur metabolism to TCR signalling regulation.

"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.
