Abstrakt:	The functional integrity of CD8 + T cells is closely linked to metabolic reprogramming; therefore, understanding the metabolic basis of CD8 + T cell activation and antitumor immunity could provide insights into tumor immunotherapy. Here, we report that ME2 is critical for mouse CD8 + T cell activation and immune response against malignancy. ME2 deficiency suppresses CD8 + T cell activation and anti-tumor immune response in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, ME2 depletion blocks the TCA cycle flux, leading to the accumulation of fumarate. Fumarate directly binds to DAPK1 and inhibits its activity by competing with ATP for binding. Notably, pharmacological inhibition of DAPK1 abolishes the anti-tumor function conferred by ME2 to CD8 + T cells. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a role for ME2 in the regulation of CD8 + T cell metabolism and effector functions as well as an unexpected function for fumarate as a metabolic signal in the inhibition of DAPK1.
