A glycophospholipid anchor is required for Qa-2-mediated T cell activation

Abstract: A number of lymphocyte surface proteins are anchored in the cell membrane by glycophosphatidyl inositol (known as GPI) linkages instead of hydrophobic protein domains. Treatment of mouse T lymphocytes with antibodies specific for two such proteins, Thy-1 and Ly-6, are known to induce proliferation. We have found that antibodies specific for Qa-2, a GPI-anchored class I histocompatibility antigen, can also activate mouse T cells. To determine whether the GPI-anchor is important for this pathway of cell activati… Show more

“…Adipocytes were isolated from epididymal fat pads of 140-to 160-g male Wistar rats under sterile conditions as described previously (Rodbell, 1964) with the following modifications: The fat tissue (0.5-1 g) was minced in 50-mL polyethylene vials containing 3 mL of KRH buffer (10 mM HEPES/KOH, pH 7.4, 125 mM NaCl, 5.5 mM KCl, 2 mM C a C h l . 5 mM MgS04,2.5 mM NaH2P04, 2.5% BSA, and 2 mM D-glucose) and incubated (10-20 min, 37 "C) with collagenase (0.1 mg/mL routinely, or as indicated in the figure legends) under gentle stirring with a Tefloncoated bar.…”

“…The pathways are not well understood, but the presence of a GPI anchor seems to be essential [137][138][139][140]. It is interesting that T cell activation by ligation of CD73 in mice requires the fyn tyrosine kinase [130], suggesting a possible signaling pathway.…”

“…1), one as part of the internal mannose-6-phosphate ethanolamine bridge; the other connects the glycan to the lipid moiety in intact GPI-linked molecules, or it is a part of an inositol-l,2 cyclic phosphate group in GPI-linked molecules that have been cleaved with PI-PLC. In view of the role of the MPR as a growth-regulatory molecule and the observation that under certain circumstances GPI-linked molecules may mediate cell signalling [21], we have pursued further our initial observation on the binding of the receptor to a GPI-linked molecule. In particular, our aim has been to determine which of these two phosphate groups (P1 or P2, in Fig.…”
