Disease relevance of KIR2DS1

  • Infection of cells with Epstein-Barr virus leads to expression of a detectable ligand for the activating receptor KIR2DS1 [1].
  • An increase in the frequency of the activating KIR2DS1 gene was detected in the PsA patients, compared with psoriasis patients negative for PsA and an unaffected American Caucasian control group [2].
  • Activating killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor gene KIR2DS1 is associated with psoriatic arthritis [2].
  • Furthermore, an increased frequency of activating KIR2DS1 in the absence of the putative HLA-C(Lys80) ligands was found in melanoma patients (16.0% vs 9.2%) [3].
 

High impact information on KIR2DS1

  • KIR2DS1 and its inhibitory homologue, KIR2DL1, share sensitivity to peptide sequence alterations at positions 7 and 8 [1].
  • We discuss how our results for KIR2DS1 and parallel studies on KIR2DS2 relate to the association between activating KIR genes and susceptibility to autoimmune disorders [1].
  • Importantly, KIR2DS1 is not always sufficient to trigger NK effector responses when faced with cognate ligand, consistent with fine control during NK cell activation [1].
  • In this case, KIR2DS1 interacts with up-regulated peptide-MHC class I complexes on Epstein-Barr virus-infected cells in a transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP)-dependent manner [1].
  • Again, this effect was dependent on FasL secretion and it was blocked by specific mAb to KIR2DS2 or KIR2DS1 [4].
 

Biological context of KIR2DS1

 

Anatomical context of KIR2DS1

 

Associations of KIR2DS1 with chemical compounds

  • Thus, substitution in p50.1 of lysine 70 by threonine (typical of the inhibitory p58.1 molecule) resulted in a dramatic increase in binding affinity, comparable to that of the p58.1 molecule [6].
 

Other interactions of KIR2DS1

  • When individual genes were considered, a decrease in KIR2DS5 among patients vs controls (OR = 0.2, pcor = 0.0005) and a decrease in KIR2DS3 restricted to KIR2DS1-positive individuals (OR = 0.2, pcor = 0.005) were evident [7].
