Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and downstream transcription factor STAT5 are important for maintaining regulatory T (Treg) cell homeostasis and function. Treg cells can respond to low IL-2 levels, but the mechanisms of STAT5 activation during partial IL-2 deficiency remain uncertain. We identified the serine-threonine kinase Mst1 as a signal-dependent amplifier of IL-2-STAT5 activity in Treg cells. High Mst1 and Mst2 (Mst1-Mst2) activity in Treg cells was crucial to prevent tumor resistance and autoimmunity. Mechanistically, Mst1-Mst2 sensed IL-2 signals to promote the STAT5 activation necessary for Treg cell homeostasis and lineage stability and to maintain the highly suppressive phosphorylated-STAT5+ Treg cell subpopulation. Unbiased quantitative proteomics revealed association of Mst1 with the cytoskeletal DOCK8-LRCHs module. Mst1 deficiency limited Treg cell migration and access to IL-2 and activity of the small GTPase Rac, which mediated downstream STAT5 activation. Collectively, IL-2-STAT5 signaling depends upon Mst1-Mst2 functions to maintain a stable Treg cell pool and immune tolerance.
