Disease relevance of IL5RA

  • In summary, our data suggest that increased expression of IL-5R alpha on CD34+ cells favors eosinophilopoiesis and may thus contribute to the subsequent development of blood and tissue eosinophilia, a hallmark of allergic inflammation [1].
  • Radiolabeled recombinant human IL-5 (hIL-5) was used to characterize the IL-5 receptor present on normal human eosinophils and on the myeloid leukemia line HL-60, which can be induced to differentiate into eosinophilic cells [2].
  • Human B cells express IL-5 receptor messenger ribonucleic acid and respond to IL-5 with enhanced IgM production after mitogenic stimulation with Moraxella catarrhalis [3].
  • The human IL-5-dependent erythroleukemia TF-1 was used as a source of mRNA which was analysed by northern blotting using a cDNA probe for IL-5R alpha [4].
  • Phage display was used to identify sequences that mimic structural determinants in interleukin5 (IL5) for IL5 receptor recognition [5].
 

High impact information on IL5RA

  • A first class codes for an IL5-specific chain (hIL5R alpha) [6].
  • A second component of the hIL5R is found to be identical to the beta chain of the human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) high affinity receptor [6].
  • RFX1, -2 and -3 regulate expression of other medically important gene products (for example, interleukin-5 receptor alpha chain, IL-5R alpha) [7].
  • Furthermore, SHPTP2 appeared to physically associate with beta common (betac) chain of the IL-5 receptor (IL-5betacR) [8].
  • IL-5 receptor-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of SH2/SH3-containing proteins and activation of Bruton's tyrosine and Janus 2 kinases [9].
 

Biological context of IL5RA

  • Dinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the IL2 and IL5RA genes [10].
  • Localization of the gene encoding the alpha subunit of human interleukin-5 receptor (IL5RA) to chromosome region 3p24-3p26 [11].
  • By direct DNA sequencing in 24 individuals, we identified 22 sequence variants within exons and flanking regions including a 1.5-kb promoter region of IL5RA; 10 common polymorphic sites were selected for genotyping in our asthma cohort (n = 587) [12].
  • IL5RA variant/haplotype information identified in this study will provide valuable information for strategies for the control of asthma [12].
  • In an effort to discover additional polymorphism(s) in genes whose variant(s) have been implicated in asthma, we investigated the genetic polymorphisms in IL5RA to evaluate the gene as a potential candidate for a host genetic study of asthma [12].
 

Anatomical context of IL5RA

 

Associations of IL5RA with chemical compounds

  • We found that this property is largely determined by the NH2-terminal module of hIL-5R alpha, and detailed analysis defined D56 and to a lesser extent E58 as important for binding [14].
  • Moreover, endogenous STAT3 was tyrosine phosphorylated and activated in human IL-5-stimulated BaF3 cells ectopically expressing the human IL-5R (BaF3/IL5R) [15].
  • Retinoic acid modulates IL-5 receptor expression and selectively inhibits eosinophil-basophil differentiation of hemopoietic progenitor cells [16].
  • The inhibition of binding IL5 to its receptor by the isothiazolone derivatives is abrogated by free-sulfhydryl-containing compounds such as dithiothreitol, indicating that the isothiazolones react with the sulfhydryl group of free cysteine residues in the hIL5R alpha [17].
  • The results reveal that the arginine residue is crucial for the IL-5Ralpha binding of AF17121, while the acidic residues are not essential though likely complex-stabilizing particularly in the Asp(2)-Glu(3) region [18].
 

Physical interactions of IL5RA

 

Regulatory relationships of IL5RA

 

Other interactions of IL5RA

  • The activation of the JAK2/STAT5 pathway is commonly involved in signaling through the human IL-5 receptor [27].
  • The results suggest that the IL5RA locus is unlinked to other members of the hematopoietic receptor family [11].
  • As a prerequisite to studies of the transcriptional regulation of the IL-5R alpha subunit gene, we used three different methods, including primer extension, RNase protection, and 5'-RACE to precisely map the transcriptional start site to a position 15 base pairs (bp) upstream of the 5' end of the published sequence of IL-5R alpha exon 1 [13].
  • A membrane-proximal proline-rich element of the hIL-5R alpha cytoplasmic domain that is conserved among different members of the hemopoietic cytokine receptor family was essential for biological activity [28].
  • RT-PCR was used to evaluate IL-5 receptor alpha (IL-5R(alpha)) expression in various tissues and to assess bronchus and saphenous vein eosinophils through use of CCR3 expression [29].
