A novel interface consisting of homologous immunoglobulin superfamily members with multiple functions.

ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) members account for a large proportion of cell adhesion molecules that perform important immunological functions, including recognizing a variety of counterpart molecules on the cell surface or extracellular matrix. The findings that CD155/poliovirus receptor (PVR) and CD112/nectin-2 are the ligands for CD226/platelet and T-cell activation antigen 1 (PTA1)/DNAX accessory molecular-1 (DNAM-1), CD96/tactile and Washington University cell adhesion molecule (WUCAM) and that CD226 is physically and functionally associated with lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) on natural killer (NK) and activated T cells have largely expanded our knowledge about the functions of CD226, CD96, WUCAM and LFA-1 and their respective ligands, CD155, CD112, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-1. The interactions of these receptors and their ligands are involved in many key functions of immune cells including naive T cells, cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, NK T cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, mast cells and platelets/megakaryocytes.

Immunogenic properties of immunoglobulin superfamily members within complex biological networks

Project description:Highlights • Antibody-based therapies induce CDR-specific T and B cell responses.• Idiotype-anti-idiotype network alters immune system memory compartment.• Antigenized antibodies are efficient vaccine immunogen. Antibodies, T cell receptors and major histocompatibility complex molecules are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily and have pivotal roles in the immune system. The fine interrelation between them regulates several immune functions. Here, we describe lesser-known functions ascribed to these molecules in generating and maintaining immune response. Particularly, we outline the contribution of antibody- and T cell receptor-derived complementarity-determining region neoantigens, antigenized antibodies, as well as major histocompatibility complex class I molecules-derived epitopes to the induction of protective/therapeutic immune responses against pathogens and cancer. We discuss findings of our own and other studies describing protective mechanisms, based on immunogenic properties of immunoglobulin superfamily members, and evaluate the perspectives of application of this class of immunogens in molecular vaccines design.

Immunoglobulin superfamily members play an important role in the mosquito immune system.

Project description:Immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) proteins are known for their ability to specifically recognize and adhere to other molecules, mediating cell-surface reception and pathogen recognition. Mammalian IgSF proteins such as antibodies are among the best characterized molecules of the immune system; in contrast, the involvement of invertebrate IgSF members in immunity has not been broadly studied. Analysis of the predicted Anopheles gambiae transcriptome identified 138 proteins that have at least one immunoglobulin domain. Challenge with Plasmodium, Gram-negative or Gram-positive bacteria resulted in significant regulation of 85 IgSF genes, indicating potential roles for these molecules in infection responses and immunity. Based on sequence and expression data, six infection-responsive with immunoglobulin domain (IRID 1-6) genes were chosen and functionally characterized with regard to their role in innate immunity. Reverse-genetic gene-silencing assays showed IRID3, IRID5 and IRID6 contribute to viability upon bacterial infection while IRID4 and IRID6 are involved in limiting Plasmodium falciparum infection.

The Immunoglobulin Superfamily Members syg-2 and syg-1 Regulate Neurite Development in C. elegans.

Project description:Neurons form elaborate networks by guiding axons and dendrites to appropriate destinations. Neurites require information about the relative body axes during the initial projection from the cell body, and failure to receive or interpret those cues correctly can result in outgrowth errors. We identified a mutation in the Ig superfamily member syg-2 in a screen for animals with anterior/posterior (A/P) axon guidance defects. We found that syg-2 and its cognate Ig family member syg-1 appear to function in a linear genetic pathway to control the outgrowth of GABAergic axons. We determined that this pathway works in parallel to Wnt signaling. Specifically, mutations in syg-2 or syg-1 selectively affected the embryonically derived Dorsal D-type (DD) GABAergic neurons. We found no evidence that these mutations affected the Ventral D-type neurons (VD) that form later, during the first larval stage. In addition, mutations in syg-1 or syg-2 could result in the DD neurons forming multiple processes, becoming bipolar, rather than the expected pseudounipolar morphology. Given SYG-2's essential function in synaptogenesis of the hermaphrodite-specific neurons (HSNs), we also examined DD neuron synapses in syg-2 mutants. We found syg-2 mutants had a decreased number of synapses formed, but synaptic morphology was largely normal. These results provide further evidence that the GABAergic motorneurons use multiple guidance pathways during development.

Immunoglobulin superfamily genes are novel prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer progression is associated with dysregulated expression of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) genes that are involved in cell-cell recognition, binding and adhesion. Despite widespread evidence that many IgSF genes could serve as effective biomarkers, this potential has not been realized because the studies have focused mostly on individual genes and not the entire network. To gain a global perspective of the IgSF-related biomarkers, we constructed an IgSF-directed neighbor network (IDNN) and an IgSF-directed driver network (IDDN) by integrating multiple levels of data, including IgSF genes, breast cancer driver genes, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and gene expression profiling data. Our study shows that IgSF genes in the PPI network have important topological features related to cancer. Most IgSF genes are either cancer driver genes themselves or associated with them. We also identified a 21-gene IgSF network module with enriched mutations that are associated with overall survival based on 450 breast cancer patient samples extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and multiple independent microarray validation datasets. These results highlight the potential of IgSF genes as novel diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic targets for breast cancer.

Sequence composition predicts immunoglobulin superfamily members that could share the intrinsically disordered properties of antibody CH1 domains.

Project description:Antibodies are central to the growing sector of protein therapeutics, and increasingly they are being manipulated as fragments and combinations. An improved understanding of the properties of antibody domains in isolation would aid in their engineering. We have conducted an analysis of sequence and domain interactions for IgG antibodies and Fab fragments in the structural database. Of sequence-related properties studied, relative lysine to arginine content was found to be higher in CH1 and CL than in variable domains. As earlier work shows that lysine is favoured over arginine in more soluble proteins, this suggests that individual domains may not be optimised for greater solubility, giving scope for fragment engineering. Across other sequence-based features, CH1 is anomalous. A sequence-based scheme predicts CH1 to be folded, although it is known that CH1 folding is linked to IgG assembly and secretion. Calculations indicate that charge interactions in CH1 domains contribute less to folded state stability than in other Fab domains. Expanding to the immunoglobulin superfamily reveals that a subset of non-antibody domains shares sequence composition properties with CH1, leading us to suggest that some of these may also couple folding, assembly and secretion.

Immunoglobulin superfamily member 10 is a novel prognostic biomarker for breast cancer.

Project description:BackgroundImmunoglobulin superfamily member 10 (IGSF10) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed at high levels in both the gallbladder and ovary. Currently, the role and possible mechanism of IGSF10 in breast cancer remain unclear.MethodBy applying real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), the expression of IGSF10 in breast cancer cells and tissues was detected. We collected the clinical information from 700 patients with breast cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and analyzed the relationship between IGSF10 expression and the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of these patients. The potential mechanisms and pathways associated with IGSF10 in breast cancer were explored by performing a gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA).ResultsAccording to TCGA data, qRT-PCR and IHC experiments, levels of the IGSF10 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased in breast cancer tissues. IGSF10 expression was significantly correlated with age, tumor size, and tumor stage. Moreover, shorter overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) correlated with lower IGSF10 expression, according to the survival analysis. The multivariate analysis identified that IGSF10 as an independent prognostic factor for the OS (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.793, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.141-2.815], P = 0.011) and RFS (HR = 2.298, 95% CI [1.317-4.010], P = 0.003) of patients with breast cancer. Based on the GSEA, IGSF10 was involved in DNA repair, cell cycle, and glycolysis. IGSF10 was also associated with the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and mTORC1 signaling pathways.ConclusionsThis study revealed a clear relationship between IGSF10 expression and the tumorigenesis of breast cancer for the first time. Therefore, further studies are needed to understand the mechanism of IGSF10 in breast cancer.

Evidence that peroxiredoxins are novel members of the thioredoxin fold superfamily.

Project description:Peroxiredoxins catalyze reduction of hydrogen peroxide or alkyl peroxide, to water or the corresponding alcohol. Detailed analysis of their sequences indicates that these enzymes possess a thioredoxin (Trx)-like fold and consequently are homologues of both thioredoxin and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Sequence- and structure-based multiple sequence alignments indicate that the peroxiredoxin active site cysteine and GPx active site selenocysteine are structurally equivalent. Homologous peroxiredoxin and GPx enzymes are predicted to catalyze equivalent reactions via similar reaction intermediates.

Defining the Phosphodiesterase Superfamily Members in Rat Brain Microvessels

Project description:A filtration method followed by microarray analyses allows PDE components to be identified in brain microvessels, and confirmed that PDE4D and PDE5A are the primary forms expressed in rat brain microvessels. Adult male F344 rats were sacrificed and blocks of the cerebral cortex and infratentorial areas were dissected. Microvessels were isolated using a filtration method, and total RNA was extracted. Two microarrays using four sample RNAs (microvessels from the cerebral cortex vs. microvessels from the infratentorial block) were included in the present study. Microarrays demonstrated that there were 16 PDE transcripts in the PDE superfamily, exhibiting quantifiable density in the microvessels.

Evolutionary and molecular foundations of multiple contemporary functions of the nitroreductase superfamily.

Project description:Insight regarding how diverse enzymatic functions and reactions have evolved from ancestral scaffolds is fundamental to understanding chemical and evolutionary biology, and for the exploitation of enzymes for biotechnology. We undertook an extensive computational analysis using a unique and comprehensive combination of tools that include large-scale phylogenetic reconstruction to determine the sequence, structural, and functional relationships of the functionally diverse flavin mononucleotide-dependent nitroreductase (NTR) superfamily (>24,000 sequences from all domains of life, 54 structures, and >10 enzymatic functions). Our results suggest an evolutionary model in which contemporary subgroups of the superfamily have diverged in a radial manner from a minimal flavin-binding scaffold. We identified the structural design principle for this divergence: Insertions at key positions in the minimal scaffold that, combined with the fixation of key residues, have led to functional specialization. These results will aid future efforts to delineate the emergence of functional diversity in enzyme superfamilies, provide clues for functional inference for superfamily members of unknown function, and facilitate rational redesign of the NTR scaffold.
