CD13 (human aminopeptidase N) mediates human cytomegalovirus infection.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects cells by a series of processes including attachment, penetration via fusion of the envelope with the plasma membrane, and transport of the viral DNA to the nucleus. The details of the early events of HCMV infection are poorly understood. We have recently reported that CD13, human aminopeptidase N, a metalloprotease, is present on blood cells susceptible in v...
متن کاملNeutralization of human cytomegalovirus by human CD13-specific antibodies.
The mechanisms of inhibition of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection by human CD13 (aminopeptidase N)-specific antibodies were studied. These antibodies protect CD13-negative and -positive cells from CMV infection only if incubated with the virus inoculum, suggesting they bind to CMV virions. The association of a CD13-like molecule with virions was further supported by the transfer of CD13 immunorea...
متن کاملMetalloprotease activity of CD13/aminopeptidase N on the surface of human myeloid cells.
We previously found that the myeloid cell surface glycoprotein CD13 (gp150) is identical to aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2), a widely distributed membrane-bound, zinc-dependent metalloprotease with an extracellular enzymatic domain that cleaves N-terminal amino acid residues from oligopeptides (J Clin Invest 83:1299, 1989). As a first step toward defining the function of this molecule on myeloid...
متن کاملAlternative splicing of the human cyclin D-binding Myb-like protein (hDMP1) yields a truncated protein isoform that alters macrophage differentiation patterns.
We have cloned two novel, alternatively spliced messages of human cyclin D-binding Myb-like protein (hDMP1). The known, full-length protein has been named hDMP1alpha and the new isoforms, hDMP1beta and hDMP1gamma. The hDMP1alpha, -beta, and -gamma splice variants have unique expression patterns in normal hematopoietic cells; hDMP1beta mRNA transcripts are strongly expressed in quiescent CD34+ c...
متن کاملDeletion of the zinc-binding motif of CD13/aminopeptidase N molecules results in loss of epitopes that mediate binding of inhibitory antibodies.
The myeloid cell-surface glycoprotein CD13/aminopeptidase N (APN; EC 3.4.11.2) contains a pentapeptide (HExxH) in its extracellular domain that is characteristic of many zinc-dependent metalloproteinases. This region contains residues important for zinc binding and constitutes part of the catalytic domain of several metalloproteases. We deleted an internal fragment of 117 base pairs (bp) from t...
