High impact information on HCST

  • Thus, NKG2D-DAP10 receptor complexes may activate NK and T cell responses against MICA-bearing tumors [1].
  • In natural killer (NK) and T cells, DAP10 was identified as a cell surface adaptor protein in an activating receptor complex with NKG2D, a receptor for the stress-inducible and tumor-associated major histocompatibility complex molecule MICA [1].
  • Human natural killer cells express NKG2D and require the transmembrane adaptor DAP10 to initiate their full cytotoxic activation [2].
  • However, DAP10 has no immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif and thus the mechanism of recruiting 'downstream' effector proteins is unclear [2].
  • Despite their similarities, DAP10, DAP12, FcstraightepsilonRIgamma, and CD3zeta form specific receptor complexes with their ligand-binding partners in NK cells and transfectants [3].
 

Biological context of HCST

  • We show that KAP10, unlike other transmembrane adapter proteins, binds phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase following phosphorylation of a cytoplasmic YINM motif, which results in activation of Akt [4].
  • We have cloned a novel transmembrane adapter protein called KAP10, a approximately 10-kDa protein that is encoded within 100 bp of the DAP12 locus on human chromosome 19 [4].
  • The length of the pig DAP10 cDNA is 465 bp and it contains an open reading frame of 237 bp [5].
  • Genomic organization reveals that pig DAP10 comprises four exons and three introns [5].
  • Pig DAP10 and DAP12 are genetically linked on Chromosome (Chr) 6 at 6q21 in opposite transcriptional orientation, separated by 152 bp [5].
 

Anatomical context of HCST

 

Associations of HCST with chemical compounds

  • Pig DAP10 has a conserved aspartic acid in the transmembrane domain, two cysteines in the extracellular domain, and a phophatidylinositol-3 kinase-binding site (YxxM) in the cytoplasmic region [5].
  • Herein, we identify Vav1, a Rho GTPase guanine nucleotide exchange factor, as a critical signaling mediator downstream of DAP10 in NK cells [7].
  • Single superphosphate (SSP) and North Carolina phosphate rock (NCPR) which had higher Cd contents (32 and 41 mg kg(-1), respectively) produced higher total soil Cd than diammonium phosphate (DAP-10 mg kg(-1)), Jordan phosphate rock (JPR-5 mg kg(-1)) and control treatments to a depth of 120 mm [8].
 

Other interactions of HCST

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HCST

  • In Northern blot analysis, DAP10 transcripts were detected predominantly in lymphohematopoietic tissues [5].
  • In situ hybridization analyses of human anagen hair follicles using specific 3'-noncoding sequences of the various KAP10/KAP12 genes revealed mRNA expression of nearly all KAP10 and KAP12 members exclusively in a narrow region of the middle portion of the hair fiber cuticle [10].
