A20 is a dual-function ubiquitin-editing enzyme that maintains immune homeostasis by restraining inflammation. Although A20 serves a similar negative feedback function for T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling, the molecular mechanisms utilized and their ultimate impact on human T-cell function remain unclear. TCR engagement triggers the assembly of the CARD11-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) protein complex, a signaling platform that governs the activation of downstream transcription factors including NF-κB and c-Jun/AP-1. Utilizing WT and A20 knockout Jurkat T cells, we found that A20 is required to negatively regulate NF-κB and JNK. Utilizing a novel set of A20 mutants in NF-κB and AP-1-driven reporter systems, we discovered the ZnF7 domain is crucial for negative regulatory capacity, while deubiquitinase activity is dispensable. Successful inactivation of A20 in human primary effector T cells congruently conferred sustained NF-κB and JNK signaling, including enhanced upregulation of activation markers, and increased secretion of several cytokines including IL-9. Finally, loss of A20 in primary human T cells resulted in decreased sensitivity to restimulation-induced cell death and increased sensitivity to cytokine withdrawal-induced death. These findings demonstrate the importance of A20 in maintaining T-cell homeostasis via negative regulation of both NF-κB and JNK signaling.
