CD45 exclusion- and cross-linking-based receptor signaling together broaden FcεRI reactivity.

ABSTRACT: For many years, the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE) FcεRI, which is expressed by mast cells and basophils, has been widely held to be the exemplar of cross-linking (that is, aggregation dependent) signaling receptors. We found, however, that FcεRI signaling could occur in the presence or absence of receptor cross-linking. Using both cell and cell-free systems, we showed that FcεRI signaling was stimulated by surface-associated monovalent ligands through the passive, size-dependent exclusion of the receptor-type tyrosine phosphatase CD45 from plasma membrane regions of FcεRI-ligand engagement. Similarly to the T cell receptor, FcεRI signaling could also be initiated in a ligand-independent manner. These data suggest that a simple mechanism of CD45 exclusion-based receptor triggering could function together with cross-linking-based FcεRI signaling, broadening mast cell and basophil reactivity by enabling these cells to respond to both multivalent and surface-presented monovalent antigens. These findings also strengthen the case that a size-dependent, phosphatase exclusion-based receptor triggering mechanism might serve generally to facilitate signaling by noncatalytic immune receptors.

Cyclic Hypoxia Induces Transcriptomic Changes in Mast Cells Leading to a Hyperresponsive Phenotype after FcεRI Cross-Linking.

Project description:Mast cells (MCs) play important roles in tumor development, executing pro- or antitumoral functions depending on tumor type and tumor microenvironment (TME) conditions. Cyclic hypoxia (cyH) is a common feature of TME since tumor blood vessels fail to provide a continuous supply of oxygen to the tumor mass. Here, we hypothesized that the localization of MCs in cyH regions within solid tumors could modify their transcriptional profile and activation parameters. Using confocal microscopy, we found an important number of MCs in cyH zones of murine melanoma B16-F1 tumors. Applying microarray analysis to examine the transcriptome of murine bone-marrow-derived MCs (BMMCs) exposed to interleaved cycles of hypoxia and re-oxygenation, we identified altered expression of 2512 genes. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the transcriptional signature of MCs exposed to cyH is associated with oxidative phosphorylation and the FcεRI signaling pathway. Interestingly, FcεRI-dependent degranulation, calcium mobilization, and PLC-γ activity, as well as Tnf-α, Il-4, and Il-2 gene expression after IgE/antigen challenge were increased in BMMCs exposed to cyH compared with those maintained in normoxia. Taken together, our findings indicate that cyH causes an important phenotypic change in MCs that should be considered in the design of inflammation-targeted therapies to control tumor growth.

Cross-Reactivity as a Mechanism Linking Infections to Stroke.

Project description:The relevance of infections as risk factor for cerebrovascular disease is being increasingly recognized. Nonetheless, the pathogenic link between the two entities remains poorly understood. Consistent with recent advances in medicine, the present work addresses the hypothesis that infection-induced immune responses may affect human proteins associated with stroke. Applying established procedures in bioinformatics, the pathogen antigens and the human proteins were searched for common sequences using pentapeptides as probes. The resulting data demonstrate massive peptide sharing between infectious pathogens-such as Chlamydia pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Tannerella forsythia, Haemophilus influenzae, Influenza A virus, and Cytomegalovirus-and human proteins related to risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Moreover, the shared peptides are also evident in a number of epitopes experimentally proven immunopositive in the human host. The present findings suggest cross-reactivity as a potential mechanistic link between infections and stroke.

Reactivity and Cross-Linking of 5'-Terminal Abasic Sites within DNA.

Project description:Nicking of the DNA strand immediately upstream of an internal abasic (AP) site produces 5'-terminal abasic (dRp) DNA. Both the intact and the nicked abasic species are reactive intermediates along the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway and can be derailed by side reactions. Aberrant accumulation of the 5'-terminal abasic intermediate has been proposed to lead to cell death, so we explored its reactivity and compared it to the reactivity of the better-characterized internal abasic intermediate. We find that the 5'-terminal abasic group cross-links with the exocyclic amine of a nucleotide on the opposing strand to form an interstrand DNA-DNA cross-link (ICL). This cross-linking reaction has the same kinetic constants and follows the same pH dependence as the corresponding cross-linking reaction of intact abasic DNA, despite the changes in charge and flexibility engendered by the nick. However, the ICL that traps nicked abasic DNA has a shorter lifetime at physiological pH than the otherwise analogous ICL of intact abasic DNA due to the reversibility of the cross-linking reaction coupled with faster breakdown of the 5'-terminal abasic species via ?-elimination. Unlike internal abasic DNA, 5'-terminal abasic DNA can also react with exocyclic amines of unpaired nucleotides at the 3'-end of the nick, thereby bridging the nick by connecting DNA strands of the same orientation. The discovery and characterization of cross-links between 5'-terminal abasic sites and exocyclic amines of both opposing and adjacent nucleotides add to our knowledge of DNA damage with the potential to disrupt DNA transactions.

Reactivity of an Unusual Amidase May Explain Colibactin's DNA Cross-Linking Activity.

Project description:Certain commensal and pathogenic bacteria produce colibactin, a small-molecule genotoxin that causes interstrand cross-links in host cell DNA. Although colibactin alkylates DNA, the molecular basis for cross-link formation is unclear. Here, we report that the colibactin biosynthetic enzyme ClbL is an amide bond-forming enzyme that links aminoketone and ?-keto thioester substrates in vitro and in vivo. The substrate specificity of ClbL strongly supports a role for this enzyme in terminating the colibactin NRPS-PKS assembly line and incorporating two electrophilic cyclopropane warheads into the final natural product scaffold. This proposed transformation was supported by the detection of a colibactin-derived cross-linked DNA adduct. Overall, this work provides a biosynthetic explanation for colibactin's DNA cross-linking activity and paves the way for further study of its chemical structure and biological roles.

High-Affinity Ligands Can Trigger T Cell Receptor Signaling Without CD45 Segregation.

Project description:How T cell receptors (TCRs) are triggered to start signaling is still not fully understood. It has been proposed that segregation of the large membrane tyrosine phosphatase CD45 from engaged TCRs initiates signaling by favoring phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) in the cytoplasmic domains of CD3 molecules. However, whether CD45 segregation is important to initiate triggering is still uncertain. We examined CD45 segregation from TCRs engaged to anti-CD3 scFv with high or low affinity and with defined molecular lengths on glass-supported lipid bilayers using total internal reflection microscopy. Both short and elongated high-affinity anti-CD3 scFv effectively induced similar calcium mobilization, Zap70 phosphorylation, and cytokine secretion in Jurkat T cells but CD45 segregated from activated TCR microclusters significantly less for elongated versus short anti-CD3 ligands. In addition, at early times, triggering cells with both high and low affinity elongated anti-CD3 scFv resulted in similar degrees of CD3 co-localization with CD45, but only the high-affinity scFv induced T cell activation. The lack of correlation between CD45 segregation and early markers of T cell activation suggests that segregation of CD45 from engaged TCRs is not mandatory for initial triggering of TCR signaling by elongated high-affinity ligands.

In vitro evolution of a neutralizing human antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 to enhance affinity and broaden strain cross-reactivity.

Project description:A method is described that allows for the improvement of antibody affinity. This method, termed complementary-determining region (CDR) walking, does not require structural information on either antibody or antigen. Complementary-determining regions are targeted for random mutagenesis followed by selection for fitness, in this case increased binding affinity, by the phage-display approach. The current study targets a human CD4-binding-site anti-gp120 antibody that is potently and broadly neutralizing. Evolution of affinity of this antibody demonstrates in this case that affinity can be increased while reactivity to variants of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 is broadened. The neutralizing ability of this antibody is improved, as assayed with laboratory and primary clinical isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. The ability to produce human antibodies of exceptional affinity and broad neutralizing ability has implications for the therapeutic and prophylactic application of antibodies for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection.

Chemical cross-linking of chick oviduct progesterone-receptor subunits by using a reversible bifunctional cross-linking agent.

Project description:Chick oviduct progesterone-receptor proteins were treated in cytosol with the reversible cross-linking reagent methyl 4-mercaptobutyrimidate. The product of the reaction was a 7S complex that could be detected and recovered after sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation in 0.3M-KCl. The extent of the reaction was dependent on the concentration of methyl 4-mercaptobutyrimidate and independent of the presence of bound hormone, since unlabelled receptors could also be cross-linked. The cross-linking reaction required conditions in which the cytosol 6S complex was preserved. A Stokes radius of 7.3 nm was determined by gel filtration in Agarose A-1.5 m in 0.3 M-KCl. The sedimentation coefficient, which was also determined in 0.3 M-KCl, allowed us to calculate a mol. wt. of 228,000. We were also able to cross-link partially purified receptor forms isolated by using an Agarose A-15 m column. On reduction with beta-mercaptoethanol the complex broke down to 4S monomers that were identified by DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography, adsorption on DNA-cellulose and gel filtration in an Agarose A-1.5 m column. In most cases, A and B receptor proteins were released in equivalent amounts, implying that the cross-linked form was an A-B complex.

CD45 pre-exclusion from the tips of T cell microvilli prior to antigen recognition.

Project description:The tyrosine phosphatase CD45 is a major gatekeeper for restraining T cell activation. Its exclusion from the immunological synapse (IS) is crucial for T cell receptor (TCR) signal transduction. Here, we use expansion super-resolution microscopy to reveal that CD45 is mostly pre-excluded from the tips of microvilli (MV) on primary T cells prior to antigen encounter. This pre-exclusion is diminished by depleting cholesterol or by engineering the transmembrane domain of CD45 to increase its membrane integration length, but is independent of the CD45 extracellular domain. We further show that brief MV-mediated contacts can induce Ca2+ influx in mouse antigen-specific T cells engaged by antigen-pulsed antigen presenting cells (APC). We propose that the scarcity of CD45 phosphatase activity at the tips of MV enables or facilitates TCR triggering from brief T cell-APC contacts before formation of a stable IS, and that these MV-mediated contacts represent the earliest step in the initiation of a T cell adaptive immune response.
