DNAM-1, a novel adhesion molecule involved in the cytolytic function of T lymphocytes.
Intercellular adhesion molecules play an important role in the generation of T lymphocyte-mediated immune responses. Here, we describe a novel accessory molecule, DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1), that is constitutively expressed on the majority of peripheral blood T lymphocytes. DNAM-1 is a 65 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of 318 aa including two immunoglobulin-like domains. Anti...
متن کاملProtein kinase C is involved in the regulation of both signaling and adhesion mediated by DNAX accessory molecule-1 receptor.
DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1) is a signal-transducing adhesion molecule involved in the cytolytic function mediated by CTL and NK cells. In the present study, we have investigated various perimeters of DNAM-1-mediated signaling and adhesion. Although adhesion of DNAM-1 to its ligand does not require divalent cations, protein synthesis, or RNA transcription, activation of protein kinase C (...
متن کاملDNAM-1 promotes activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes by nonprofessional antigen-presenting cells and tumors
Natural killer (NK) cells and CD8 T cells require adhesion molecules for migration, activation, expansion, differentiation, and effector functions. DNAX accessory molecule 1 (DNAM-1), an adhesion molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, promotes many of these functions in vitro. However, because NK cells and CD8 T cells express multiple adhesion molecules, it is unclear whether DNA...
متن کاملRequirement of the serine at residue 329 for lipid raft recruitment of DNAM-1 (CD226).
Upon antigen recognition by the TCR, leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) physically associates with the leukocyte adhesion molecule DNAM-1 (CD226), for which the serine phosphorylation at residue 329 (S329) of DNAM-1 plays a critical role. The TCR-mediated signal also induces the formation of the immunological synapse (IS), in which lipid raft-associated molecules, including LFA-1, ...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of murine DNAM-1 (CD226) and its poliovirus receptor family ligands.
The leukocyte adhesion molecule DNAM-1 (CD226) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and constitutively expressed on the majority of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes/macrophages, and a subset of B lymphocytes. The poliovirus receptor (PVR; CD155) and its family member nectin 2 (CD112) have recently been identified as the ligands for DNAM-1. Interaction o...
