Výzkum vzájemné interakce membránových receptorů NKR-P1D a Clrb / Studies on interactions between NKR-P1D and Clrb membrane receptors

Studies on interactions between NKR-P1D and Clrb membrane receptors Interaction between murine NKR-P1D and Clrb receptors was originally described as a novel type of "MHC class-I independent missing-self recognition" and was shown to confer protection from killing by natural killer cells.[1] However, further study brought conflicting results suggesting that NKR-P1D does not binds Clrb strongly if it does at all.[2] In order to address the issues arising from these conflicting results, we have recombinantly expressed the extracellular domains of both receptors in E. coli cells and refolded the proteins in vitro. The quality of refolding was confirmed both by determining the disulphide bonding pattern using FTMS and measuring 1 H/15 N-HSQC spectra. By means of size exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifuge we were unable to provide convincing results for the interaction itself. However, using SPR technique, a weak, specific, pH-dependent interaction was observed. Interaction between the proteins in solution was immobilized using chemical cross-linking technique. Three cross-linking reagents, EDC, DSG and DSS were used. The reaction mixture was separated by means of SDS-PAGE and protein bands corresponding to dimers were digested in gel. Using FT-MS we were able to find peptides from both...
