Mechanistic insights into molecular evolution of species-specific differential glycosaminoglycan binding surfaces in growth-related oncogene chemokines
Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines involved in leucocyte trafficking to infected tissue. Growth-related oncogene (GRO) chemokines namely CXCL1, CXCL2 and CXCL3 are neutrophil activating chemokines sharing a conserved three-dimensional structure, but encompassing functional diversity due to gene duplication and evolutionary events. However, the evolutionary mechanisms including selection press...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycan Interactions with Chemokines Add Complexity to a Complex System
Chemokines have two types of interactions that function cooperatively to control cell migration. Chemokine receptors on migrating cells integrate signals initiated upon chemokine binding to promote cell movement. Interactions with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) localize chemokines on and near cell surfaces and the extracellular matrix to provide direction to the cell movement. The matrix of interact...
متن کاملGlycosaminoglycan binding and oligomerization are essential for the in vivo activity of certain chemokines.
During organogenesis, immunosurveillance, and inflammation, chemokines selectively recruit leukocytes by activating seven-transmembrane-spanning receptors. It has been suggested that an important component of this process is the formation of a haptotactic gradient by immobilization of chemokines on cell surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). However, this hypothesis has not been experimentally demo...
متن کاملAn ectromelia virus protein that interacts with chemokines through their glycosaminoglycan binding domain.
Poxviruses encode a number of secreted virulence factors that modulate the host immune response. The vaccinia virus A41 protein is an immunomodulatory protein with amino acid sequence similarity to the 35-kDa chemokine binding protein, but the host immune molecules targeted by A41 have not been identified. We report here that the vaccinia virus A41 ortholog encoded by ectromelia virus, a poxvir...
متن کاملDifferential binding of chemokines to macrophages and neutrophils in the human inflamed synovium
In chronic inflammatory foci, such as the rheumatoid joint, there is enhanced recruitment of phagocytes from the blood into the tissues. Chemokines are strongly implicated in directing the migration of these cells, although little is known regarding the chemokine receptors that could mediate their chemotaxis into the joint tissue. Therefore the objective of the study was to identify chemokine b...
