Protein traffic in polarized epithelial cells: the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor as a model system.
As a model system to study protein traffic in polarized epithelial cells, we have used the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. This receptor travels first to the basolateral surface, where it can bind polymeric IgA or IgM. The receptor is then endocytosed and delivered to endosomes. The receptor is sorted into transcytotic vesicles, which are exocytosed at the apical surface. The 103-amino acid ...
متن کاملPolymeric Ig receptor: Defender of the fort or Trojan Horse?
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is important in host defense, transporting antibodies across mucosal epithelial cells. Recent work has shown that, using a protein that binds directly to the pIgR, Streptococcus pneumoniae can co-opt the transcytosis machinery and gain entry into airway epithelial cells.
متن کاملSignal transduction by the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor suggests a role in regulation of receptor transcytosis
Many membrane traffic events that were previously thought to be constitutive recently have been found to be regulated by a variety of intracellular signaling pathways. The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) transcytoses dimeric IgA (dIgA) from the basolateral to the apical surface of polarized epithelial cells. Transcytosis is stimulated by binding of dIgA to the pIgR, indicating that the...
متن کاملPhosphoinositide 3-kinase regulates the role of retromer in transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor.
Retromer is a multimeric protein complex that mediates intracellular receptor sorting. One of the roles of retromer is to promote transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) and its ligand polymeric immunoglobulin A (pIgA) in polarized epithelial cells. In Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells, overexpression of Vps35, the retromer subunit key for cargo recognition, restores t...
متن کاملTargeting Mucosal Sites by Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor-directed Peptides
Polymeric immunoglobulins provide first line humoral defense at mucosal surfaces to which they are specifically transported by the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) on mucosal and glandular epithelial cells. Previous studies from our laboratory suggested that amino acids 402-410 of the Calpha3 domain of dimeric IgA (dIgA) represented a potential binding site for the pIgR. Here by binding...
