The Journal of Immunology Extensive Characterization of IFN-Induced GTPases mGBP1 to mGBP10 Involved in Host Defense1 Daniel Degrandi,2 Carolin Konermann,2 Cornelia Beuter-Gunia,2 Alexandra Kresse, Jan Wu¨rthner, Stefanie Kurig, Sandra Beer,3 and Klaus Pfeffer3 IFN-␥ orchestrates a potent antimicrobial host response. However, the underlying molecular basis for this immunological defense system is largely unknown. In a systematic approach to identify IFN-␥-regulated host effector molecules, a notable number of transcripts with consensus GTP-binding motives were obtained. Further extensive transcriptome and genome analyses identified five novel family members of murine guanylate-binding proteins (mGBPs) now designated mGBP6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Moreover, in this study, all 10 mGBP members (mGBP1–10) were extensively characterized. mGBPs are selectively up-regulated in vitro by a set of proinflammatory cytokines and TLR agonists as well as in vivo after Listeria monocytogenes and Toxoplasma gondii infection. After IFN-␥ stimulation, mGBP1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 9 are associated with intracellular Toxoplasma parasites and, interestingly, Downloaded from virulent Toxoplasma interfere with mGBP recruitment. Taken together, mGBPs comprise an important set of host defense molecules.
