Several blood groups, including the LW-blood group were discovered in the first part of last century, but their biochemical characteristics and cellular functions have only more recently been elucidated. The LW-blood group, renamed ICAM-4 (CD242), is red cell specific and belongs to the intercellular adhesion molecule family. ICAM-4 binds to several integrin receptors on blood and endothelial cells and is thus able to form large cellular complexes containing red cells. Its physiological function(s) has remained incompletely understood, but recent work shows that macrophage integrins can bind red cells through this ligand. In this article we discuss molecular properties of major blood group antigens, describe ICAM-4 in more detail, and show that phagocytosis of senescent red cells is in part ICAM-4/β2-integrin dependent. 相似文献

The secretion of the outer membrane proteins OmpA and OmpF of Escherichia coli has previously been found to be blocked at an early intracellular step, when these proteins were fused to a bacillar signal sequence and expressed in Bacillus subtilis. We have now fused these proteins to long secretable polypeptides, the amino-terminal portions of alpha-amylase or beta-lactamase. In spite of this, no secretion of the fusion proteins was detected in B. subtilis. With the exception of a small fraction of the beta-lactamase fusion, the proteins were cell-bound with uncleaved signal sequences. Protease accessibility indicated that the fusion proteins were not even partially exposed on the outer surface of the cytoplasmic membrane. Thus there was no change of the location compared to the OmpA or OmpF fused to the signal sequence only. We conclude that, like OmpA and OmpF, the fusion proteins fold into an export-incompatible conformation in B. subtilis before the start of translocation, which we postulate to be a late post-translational event. 相似文献
