Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) promote lymphoid organogenesis and potentiate immune responses against bacterial infection. However, how ILC3 cells are developed and maintained is still unclear. Here, we show that carboxypeptidase CCP2 is highly expressed in common helper-like innate lymphoid progenitors, the progenitor of innate lymphoid cells, and CCP2 deficiency increases ILC3 numbers. Interleukin-7 receptor subunit alpha (IL-7R alpha) is identified as a substrate of CCP2 for deglutamylation, and IL-7R alpha polyglutamylation is catalyzed by polyglutamylases TTLL4 and TTLL13 in common helper-like innate lymphoid progenitors. IL-7R alpha polyglutamylation triggers STAT5 activation to initiate transcription factor Sall3 expression in common helper-like innate lymphoid progenitors, which drives ILC3 cell differentiation. Moreover, Ttll4(-/-) or Ttll13(-/-) mice have reduced IL-7R alpha polyglutamylation and Sall3 expression in common helper-like innate lymphoid progenitors. Importantly, mice with IL-7R alpha E446A mutation have reduced Sall3 expression and ILC3 population. Thus, polyglutamylation and deglutamylation of IL-7R alpha tightly controls the development and effector functions of ILC3s.
