Identification of a New Cholesterol‐Binding Site within the IFN‐γ Receptor that is Required for Signal Transduction

Abstract: The cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-𝜸) is a master regulator of innate and adaptive immunity involved in a broad array of human diseases that range from atherosclerosis to cancer. IFN-𝜸 exerts it signaling action by binding to a specific cell surface receptor, the IFN-𝜸 receptor (IFN-𝜸R), whose activation critically depends on its partition into lipid nanodomains. However, little is known about the impact of specific lipids on IFN-𝜸R signal transduction activity. Here, a new conserved cholesterol (chol) bi… Show more

“…Accordingly, a potent SM binding motif was reported in the transmembrane domain of the IFN-γR1 subunit (Contreras et al, 2012). More recently, we have characterized a new Chol binding motif in the IFN-γR2 transmembrane domain, and we found it to be mandatory for IFN-γR activation and signaling (Morana et al, 2022). While the direct relationship between formins and SM-dependent lipid nanodomains has not been established, it has been proposed that short dynamic actin filament structures known as “actin asters”, that are driven by RhoA-dependent acto-myosin contractility, regulate lipid nanodomain formation and receptor activation at the plasma membrane (Kalappurakkal et al, 2019; Wang, et al, 2022).…”

“…Bearing with this knowledge butyrate also shows increased mucin secretion in the gut by exocytosis [ 67 ]. Membrane cholesterol is required for IFN-γ signalling [ 68 ]. Butyrate which we demonstrate as cholesterol decreasing agent is also reported to inhibit IFN-γ signalling [ 69 ].…”

“…The pinhole was set to one Airy unit. Optimized acquisition was performed to retrieve protein membrane diffusion values as described previously [14, 15]. Images of 256 × 256 pixels at 8-bit depth were collected using 80 nm pixel size and 5 μsec dwell time, for 250 consecutive frames.…”
