this study shows that after mouse cytomegalovirus infection, Ly49D augmented IFN-gamma production by virus-specific Ly49H(+) NK cells and preferentially promoted the generation of memory Ly49H(+) NK cells
Title: Activating Receptors for Self-MHC Class I Enhance Effector Functions and Memory Differentiation of NK Cells during Mouse Cytomegalovirus Infection.
these data demonstrate that DAP10 does associate with Ly49H and Ly49D in primary NK cells.
Title: DAP10 associates with Ly49 receptors but contributes minimally to their expression and function in vivo.
Ly49D stimulation triggers cellular activation of CD4 and CD8 populations; Ly49D recognizes the classical hamster class I molecule Hm1-C4 on CHO cells, as demonstrated by the killing of Hm1-C4-transfected thymoma cells by Ly49D cytotoxic T cells.
Title: Ly49D engagement on T lymphocytes induces TCR-independent activation and CD8 effector functions that control tumor growth.
The MHC class I receptor Ly49D expressed on immature B cells recognizes MHC class I on peripheral tissues, inducing secretion of low levels of IFN-gamma and thereby down-regulating immature B cell homing to the lymph nodes or to sites of inflammation.
Title: Ly49D receptor expressed on immature B cells regulates their IFN-gamma secretion, actin polymerization, and homing.
Coexpression of a Ly49A transgene partially rescued NKT cell development in Ly49D/H2-Dd transgenics.
Title: Ligand-dependent inhibition of CD1d-restricted NKT cell development in mice transgenic for the activating receptor Ly49D.
Glycosylation of Ly-49D at amino acid residues NTT221-23 reduces receptor binding to H-2Dd tetramers and may represent a mechanism by which natural killer cells regulate affinity for host class I ligands.
Title: Receptor glycosylation regulates Ly-49 binding to MHC class I.
Activating Ly49D NK cell receptors are provided a mechanism for release from inhibitory receptor blockade that enables them to become important initiators of microbial, antiviral, and antitumor immunity.
Title: Expression of IFN-gamma upon triggering of activating Ly49D NK receptors in vitro and in vivo: costimulation with IL-12 or IL-18 overrides inhibitory receptors.
The repertoire of inhibitory Ly49 receptors may be formed under the influenced of Fyn-dependent NK cell activation as well as the respective MHC class I environment.
Title: A role for the src family kinase Fyn in NK cell activation and the formation of the repertoire of Ly49 receptors.
The Ly49D activation receptor on mouse NK cells specifically recognizes the Chinese hamster histocompatibility class I molecule associated with Chinese hamster beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) and is not tolerized in murine beta 2m deficiency.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001252577.2 → NP_001239506.1 killer cell lectin-like receptor 4 isoform 2

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001239506.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR and uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a longer protein (isoform 2), compared to isoform 1.
