Developmentally Regulated Glycosylation of the CD8αβ Coreceptor Stalk Modulates Ligand Binding
نویسندگان
چکیده
stalk being 10–13 residues shorter than that of the 45-residue CD8␣ stalk (Kern et al., 1998). The presence of numerous proline residues plus O-glycans in both stalks indicate that they assume an extended conformation (Classon et al., 1992). CD8 glycan adducts change dur

Developmentally Regulated, Combinatorial RNA Processing Modulates AMPA Receptor Biogenesis
The subunit composition determines AMPA receptor (AMPA-R) function and trafficking. Mechanisms underlying channel assembly are thus central to the efficacy and plasticity of glutamatergic synapses. We previously showed that RNA editing at the Q/R site of the GluR2 subunit contributes to the assembly of AMPA-R heteromers by attenuating formation of GluR2 homotetramers. Here we report that this f...
متن کاملIdentification of CD8 as a peanut agglutinin (PNA) receptor molecule on immature thymocytes
Differentiation of most T lymphocytes occurs within the thymus and is characterized by variable expression of CD4/CD8 coreceptor molecules, increased surface density of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) alpha beta proteins, and decreased expression of glycan chains recognized by the galactose-specific lectin peanut agglutinin (PNA). Although appreciated for several decades that PNA agglutination is...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Lacking Wheat Germ Agglutinin Binding Sites Useful Enzyme for Lectin Assays with Comparable Activity to the Calf Enzyme
Despite the availability of various alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes, the calf enzyme is being used in current enzyme assays as the detector enzyme. The glycosylation pattern of this enzyme makes it a suitable ligand for binding to wheat germ agglutinin lectin (WGA). As a result of this property, the enzyme can not be used as a conjugate with this lectin, and the calf enzyme conjugates can...
متن کاملA Mucin-type O-Glycosyltransferase Modulates Cell Adhesion during Drosophila Development*S⃞
Cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion are crucial during many stages of eukaryotic development. Here, we provide the first example that mucin-type O-linked glycosylation is involved in a developmentally regulated cell adhesion event in Drosophila melanogaster. Mutations in one member of the evolutionarily conserved family of enzymes that initiates O-linked glycosylation alter epithelial cell adhes...

expressed on murine macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils. Murine Dectin-1 (mDectin-1) is involved in the recognition of b-glucan, which is the main component of the fungal cell wall, and induces phagocytosis, the generation of reactive oxygen, and the production of proinflammatory cytokines. Thus, it has become clear that various murine anti-fungal immune responses are mediated by Dect...
