Two genes consisting a heterodimer, transporter 1 and 2, ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP) (TAP1 and TAP2) within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, have been implicated in immunodeficiency and bronchiectasis development. To investigate the associations of TAP1 and TAP2 genetic polymorphisms with AERD and phenotypic FEV1 decline, a total of 43 common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including 12 SNPs of TAP1 and 31 SNPs of TAP2 were genotyped in 93 AERD patients and 96 aspirin-tolerant asthma controls. Interestingly, regression analysis revealed that polymorphisms and haplotypes of TAP2 were associated with FEV1 decline by aspirin provocation (P¼0.002–0.04), with about twofold decline rate of FEV1 in most of minor homozygotes compared with major homozygotes. In addition, nominal evidences of association between TAP2 and AERD development were observed (P¼0.02–0.04). However, TAP1 polymorphisms showed no relations to both AERD and FEV1 decline after aspirin challenge (P40.05). Although further functional evaluations and replications are required, our preliminary findings provide supporting information that variants of TAP2 might be predisposing factors for FEV1 decline-related symptoms.

    ARTICLE Received 6 Jun 2014 | Accepted 29 Sep 2014 | Published 7 Nov 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6419 OPEN Mechanistic determinants of the directionality and energetics of active export by a heterodimeric ABC transporter Nina Grossmann1,*, Ahmet S. Vakkasoglu2,*, Sabine Hulpke1, Rupert Abele1, Rachelle Gaudet2 & Robert Tampe´1,3 The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) participates in immune surveillance by moving proteasomal products into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen for major histocompatibility complex class I loading and cell surface presentation to cytotoxic T cells. Here we delineate the mechanistic basis for antigen translocation. Notably, TAP works as a molecular diode, translocating peptide substrates against the gradient in a strict unidirectional way. We reveal the importance of the D-loop at the dimer interface of the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) in coupling substrate translocation with ATP hydrolysis and defining transport vectoriality. Substitution of the conserved aspartate, which coordinates the ATP-binding site, decreases NBD dimerization affinity and turns the unidirectional primary active pump into a passive bidirectional nucleotide-gated facilitator. Thus, ATP hydrolysis is not required for translocation per se, but is essential for both active and unidirectional transport. Our data provide detailed mechanistic insight into how heterodimeric ABC exporters operate. 1 Institute of Biochemistry, Biocenter, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Max-von-Laue-Street 9, D-60438 Frankfurt/M., Germany. 2 Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University, 52 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA. 3 Cluster of Excellence Frankfurt—Macromolecular Complexes, Goethe-University Frankfurt, Max-von-Laue-Street 9, D-60438 Frankfurt/M., Germany. * These authors contributed equally to this work.

  • Genetic Basis of Sjo¨Gren's Syndrome. How Strong Is the Evidence?
    Clinical & Developmental Immunology, June–December 2006; 13(2–4): 209–222 Genetic basis of Sjo¨gren’s syndrome. How strong is the evidence? JUAN-MANUEL ANAYA1,2, ANGE´ LICA MARI´A DELGADO-VEGA1,2,& JOHN CASTIBLANCO1 1Cellular Biology and Immunogenetics Unit, Corporacio´n para Investigaciones Biolo´gicas, Medellı´n, Colombia, and 2Universidad del Rosario, Medellı´n, Colombia Abstract Sjo¨gren’s syndrome (SS) is a late-onset chronic autoimmune disease (AID) affecting the exocrine glands, mainly the salivary and lachrymal. Genetic studies on twins with primary SS have not been performed, and only a few case reports describing twins have been published. The prevalence of primary SS in siblings has been estimated to be 0.09% while the reported general prevalence of the disease is approximately 0.1%. The observed aggregation of AIDs in families of patients with primary SS is nevertheless supportive for a genetic component in its etiology. In the absence of chromosomal regions identified by linkage studies, research has focused on candidate gene approaches (by biological plausibility) rather than on positional approaches. Ancestral haplotype 8.1 as well as TNF, IL10 and SSA1 loci have been consistently associated with the disease although they are not specific for SS. In this review, the genetic component of SS is discussed on the basis of three known observations: (a) age at onset and sex-dependent presentation, (b) familial clustering of the disease, and (c) dissection of the genetic component. Since there is no strong evidence for a specific genetic component in SS, a large international and collaborative study would be suitable to assess the genetics of this disorder.

Alzheimer's Research & Therapy (2017) 9:29 DOI 10.1186/s13195-017-0252-z RESEARCH Open Access Analyzing the genes related to Alzheimer’s disease via a network and pathway-based approach Yan-Shi Hu1, Juncai Xin1, Ying Hu1, Lei Zhang2* and Ju Wang1* Abstract Background: Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains incomplete. Previous studies have revealed that genetic factors provide a significant contribution to the pathogenesis and development of AD. In the past years, numerous genes implicated in this disease have been identified via genetic association studies on candidate genes or at the genome-wide level. However, in many cases, the roles of these genes and their interactions in AD are still unclear. A comprehensive and systematic analysis focusing on the biological function and interactions of these genes in the context of AD will therefore provide valuable insights to understand the molecular features of the disease. Method: In this study, we collected genes potentially associated with AD by screening publications on genetic association studies deposited in PubMed. The major biological themes linked with these genes were then revealed by function and biochemical pathway enrichment analysis, and the relation between the pathways was explored by pathway crosstalk analysis. Furthermore, the network features of these AD-related genes were analyzed in the context of human interactome and an AD-specific network was inferred using the Steiner minimal tree algorithm. Results: We compiled 430 human genes reported to be associated with AD from 823 publications. Biological theme analysis indicated that the biological processes and biochemical pathways related to neurodevelopment, metabolism, cell growth and/or survival, and immunology were enriched in these genes.

Evaluation of modulators of ABCB6 activity would pave the way toward a more complete understanding of the significance of this transport process in tumor cell growth, proliferation and therapy-related drug resistance. In addition, this effort would improve our understanding of the function of ABCB6 in normal physiology with respect to heme biosynthesis, and cellular adaptation to metabolic demand and stress responses. To search for modulators of ABCB6, we developed a novel cell-based approach that, in combination with flow cytometric high-throughput screening (HTS), can be used to identify functional modulators of ABCB6.

Lee Genomic approaches to dissect innate immune pathways Abstract The innate immune system is of central importance to the early containment of infection. When receptors of innate immunity recognize molecular patterns on pathogens, they initiate an immediate immune response by inducing the expression of cytokines and other host defense genes. Altered expression or function of the receptors, the molecules that mediate the signal transduction cascade, or the cytokines themselves can predispose individuals to infectious or autoimmune diseases. Here we used genomic approaches to uncover novel components underlying the innate immune response to cytosolic DNA and to characterize variation in the innate immune responses of human dendritic cells to bacterial and viral ligands. In order to identify novel genes involved in the cytosolic DNA sensing pathway, we first identified candidate proteins that interact with known signaling molecules or with dsDNA in the cytoplasm. We then knocked down 809 proteomic, genomic, or domain-based candidates in a high-throughput siRNA screen and measured cytokine production after DNA stimulation.

The ER-resident peptide-loading complex (PLC) consists of the transporter Abbreviations associated with antigen processing (TAP1 and TAP2), Crt Calreticulin assembled with the auxiliary factors tapasin and MHC I. ER Endoplasmic reticulum Here, we demonstrated that the N-terminal extension of ERGIC ER-Golgi intermediate compartment each TAP subunit represents an autonomous domain, MHC I Major histocompatibility complex class I named TMD0, which is correctly targeted to and inserted PLC Peptide-loading complex into the ER membrane. In the absence of coreTAP, each TAP Transporter associated with antigen processing TMD0 recruits tapasin in a 1:1 stoichiometry. Although the TMD Transmembrane domain TMD0s lack known ER retention/retrieval signals, they are Tsn Tapasin localized to the ER membrane even in tapasin-deficient wt Wild-type cells.

  • HLA on Chromosome 6: the Story Gets Longer and Longer Leslie J
    COMMENTARY HLA on Chromosome 6: The Story Gets Longer and Longer Leslie J. Raffel,1 Janelle A. Noble,2 and Jerome I. Rotter1 within the MHC has played a substantial role in allowing disease linkages and associations to be detected. The early ver the past three decades, substantial progress studies that reported associations with HLA-B8 and -B15 has been made in understanding the genetic used remarkably small numbers of cases and controls basis for diabetes. One of the important first relative to the hundreds to thousands considered neces- Osteps that allowed this progress to occur was sary in current studies (4–6). Had it not been for the realizing that diabetes is heterogeneous, and, therefore, strong LD, those initial studies would have been unlikely separation of clinically distinct forms of the disorder (i.e., to yield positive results. Yet, at the same time, this LD has type 1 vs. type 2 diabetes) improves the ability to detect also created challenges in accomplishing the next step, genetic associations. The key points that allowed type 1 that of identification of the specific genes that are respon- diabetes to be separated from type 2 diabetes included sible for disease susceptibility. The fact that researchers realization of the clinical differences (typically childhood have spent Ͼ30 years trying to elucidate all of the loci onset, thin, ketosis-prone versus adult onset, obese, non- responsible for type 1 diabetes susceptibility in the HLA ketosis prone); family and twin studies that demonstrated region underscores the complexity
