Q

What happens if you put sialic acid on antigens and feed them to antigen presenting cells?

A

They get tolerance, so engaging this receptor that binds sialic acid, you are inducing acceptance of that cell

Q

What does the ITAM-like motif of dectin-1 do?

A

Binds many sugars that are clustered, many molecules affecting one come together and now you have signalling

24
Q

What does the Fc gamma receptor chain do?

A

Can signal and provide an activating signal because they engage the receptor. The adaptor itself doesn’t have a signalling motif, then when you engage with the adaptor it can then signal

25
What does an ITAM-coupled motif mean?
Will engage an adaptor that has a motif
26
How can syk be recruited?
In different ways through an adaptor molecule that has the ITAM motif, through a receptor that has an ITAM motif or another way
27
What does receptor engagement of inhibitory c-type lectins lead to?
IITIM tyrosine phosphorylation by Src kinases 1) phosphorylated ITIM leads to recruitment and activation of protein tyrosine phosphatase such as SHP-1 and SHP-2 2) desphosphorylation of substrates regulated by immunoreceptors leading to the inhibition of cellular activation
28
What is the central complex for signalling in C-type lectins?
CARD9, BCL10, MALT1
29
What does the CARD9 complex activate?
NFkappaB
30
What does DC-sign activate?
RAF1 which is a MAP kinase - this is an immunomodulation
31
What type of molecule is DC-SIGN?
Type 2 membrane molecule with a cytoplasmic domain containing an internalisation motif, a transmembrane domain, stalk region and CRD
32
What does DC-SIGN form?
Tetramers
33
What does DC-SIGN recognise glycans through?
CRD
34
What type of c-type lectin-like domain does DC-SIGN have?
EPN motif and has two Ca2+ coordination sites
35
What is DC-SIGN expressed by?
Immature DCs in peripheral tissues and mature DCs in lymphoid tissues
36
What is expression of DC-SIGN regulated by?
IL-4
37
What is DC-SIGN function?
Enhances antigen internalisation and presentation by DCs to T cells
38
What are the consequences of DC-SIGN engagement?
Major role as immunomodulation DC-SIGN alone does not initiate changes in DC activation or cytokine secretion, but can shape immune responses by modulating the signaling elicited by other PRRs
39
What type of receptor is the mannose receptor?
An endocytic receptor
40
What does mannose receptor bind?
Fucose, mannose or N-acetyl glucosamine
41
How many domains does the mannose receptor have?
3 different domains
42
What up-regulates mannose receptors?
IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10
43
What cells express mannose receptors?
Macrophages, selected DC populations, lymphatic and hepatic endothelia
44
What is the main function of mannose receptor?
Invovled in healing immune response, is there to mop up after resolution of inflammation
45
What happens when mannose receptor binds allergens?
Promotes Th2 responses
46
What type of protein is dectin-1?
Type II transmembrane protein
47
What are the domains of Dectin-1?
C-type lectin-like domain A stalk and transmembrane region Cytoplasmic tail containing ITAM-like motif
48
What is dentin-1 predominantly expressed on?
Myeloid cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and neutrophils
49
What does Dectin-1 recognise?
Beta-1,3 and Beta-1,6 linked glucans (but not those containing solely Beta-1,6 linkages)
50
What does the affinity of Dectin-1 interactions depend on
Is influenced by degree of branching and polymer length
51
What type of immunity does Dectin-1 have a focus on?
Anti fungal
52
What happens for signalling of Dectin-1 upon ligand binding?
The ITAM-like motif becomes tyrosine phpshprylated and is sufficient to recruit Syk kinase. Requirement for receptor dimerisation
53
What happens once receptor dimerisation of Dectin-1 occurs?
Induces a signalling pathway common to all CLRs - > activation of CARD9, Bcl10 and Malt1 complex > leads to NFkappaB activation > syk can also activate non-canonical NFkappaB activation pathway through NIK
54
What can dectin-1 induce syk-independent signalling thorugh?
RAF-1
55
What does cross-talk between Dectin-1 and TLR2 do?
Promotes production of pro inflammatory cytokines
56
What does Dectin-1 signalling with TLR9 do?
Inhibits signalling to TLR9
57
What does dectin-2 bind to?
High mannose structures
58
What does dectin-2 signal to?
Fc gamma common chain
59
What adaptor does dectin-2 require?
An adaptor with an ITAM motif
60
Does dectin-2 trigger the same or different signalling pathwya to dectin-1?
Same type of signalling pathway
61
What type of response does dectin-2 promote?
Th17 response
62
What does mingle bind?
Instead of high mannose, it binds glycolipids
63
What receptor is mingle linked to?
Fc gamma common receptor
64
What does MICL stand for?
Myeloid inhibitory C-type lectin-like receptor

What controls tissue damage responses?
DNGR-1
66
What is exposed when tissue damage occurs?
F-actin
