kirs - Generally KIRs with two extracellular domains thumbprint bind HLAC allotypes whereas KIRs with three extracellular domains bind HLAA or HLAB allotypes The long cytoplasmic tail contains ITIM motifs and therefore act as inhibitory receptors whereas the short cytoplasmic tail associates with the adaptor protein DNAX activation protein 12 DAP12 Killer Cell ImmunoglobulinLike Receptor KIR Immune Pathway Feb 18 2005 KIRs and MHC class I molecules are encoded by unlinked polymorphic gene families that distinguish all but the most related individuals Combinations of MHC class I and KIR variants influence Killer IgLike Receptors KIRs Their Role in NK Cell Activating killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors PubMed Apr 26 2022 Killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs comprise a group of highly polymorphic inhibitory receptors which are specific for classical HLA classI molecules Peripheral blood and freshly KIRs have been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases However their specific roles a Killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs act as the regulators for the cytolytic activity of natural killer and certain T cells by interacting with the HLA class I ligands Killer Cell Immunoglobulin Like Receptor ScienceDirect Oct 10 2012 Introduction Epidemiologic studies have found that combinations of killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs and their cognate HLA class I ligands influence the outcome of human pregnancy resistance to infections susceptibility to autoimmune diseases and cancer as well as the effects of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation 1 5 Although it is commonly perceived that such It is also possible that activating KIRs have ligandindependent functions Expression of activating KIRs on subsets of T cells could contribute to some of the associations seen in the genetic studies It is conceivable that activating KIRs may synergize with TCRmediated signals to cause aberrant immune activation and autoimmune reactions Deciphering the killercell immunoglobulinlike receptor Dec 2 2016 The alphabet following 2D or 3D signifies the length of the cytoplasmic tail which is either short S in activating KIRs or long L in inhibitory KIRs 58 The ligands for KIRs are HLAA B or C molecules 59 KIR2DL1 recognizes group 2 HLAC molecules HLAC2 alleles with Lys80 residue eg Cw2 4 5 6 KIR2DL2 recognizes group 1 HLAC Activating killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs mark killers suppressing autoimmunity Cell Press May 10 2022 In humans KIRs are also expressed by a minor subset of CD8 TCRαβ T cells KIR CD8 T cells are present in the spleen and lymph nodes as well as in the peripheral blood at a frequency of 45 among total T cells in healthy adults Bjorkstrom et al 2012 Understanding how combinations of HLA and KIR genes influence Autoantibodies to Killer Cell ImmunoglobulinLike Receptors For instance in NK and Tcell large granular lymphocytosis lymphocytes often express activating or inhibitory KIRs in a clonal manner 225228 Patients with Sezary syndrome typically display CD4 T cells expressing KIR3DL2 which might contribute to disease onset 228 229 For this reason KIR are considered as a potential therapeutic target Killer IgLike Receptors KIRs Their Role in NK Cell May 28 2019 Natural killer NK cells contribute to the first line of defense against viruses and to the control of tumor growth and metastasis spread The discovery of HLA class I specific inhibitory receptors primarily of killer Iglike receptors KIRs and of activating receptors has been fundamental to un Killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs are encoded by a family of appd 15 polymorphic genes and two pseudogenes on chromosome 19 KIRs are membrane anchor proteins that possess either two KIR2DS or three KIR3DS immunoglobulin domains Figure 212 Within each subfamily KIRs that inhibit or activate NK cells are present Table 211 Nov 22 2019 The KIRs are encoded as two main haplotypes with the KIR A haplotype being characterized by inhibitory KIR with one only activating KIR KIR2DS4 and the KIR B group of haplotypes which has a more variable gene content with more activating KIRs including KIR2DS1 KIR2DS2 KIR2DS3 KIR2DS5 and KIR3DS1 though not necessarily all of these Inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs are immune checkpoint receptors expressed on the surface of natural killer NK cells and cytotoxic T cells12 NK cells and T cells are a type of white blood cell that are part of the immune system Activation of these cells enables them to kill unhealthy or foreign cells12 CD8 T cells express randomly selected KIRs with distinct The KIR Gene Cluster NCBI Bookshelf National Center for Significance of KIR like natural killer cell receptors in Can we make a better match or mismatch with KIR genotyping Killercell immunoglobulinlike receptor Wikipedia May 28 2003 Killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs are members of a group of regulatory molecules found on subsets of lymphoid cells They were first identified by their ability to impart some specificity on natural killer NK cytolysis The KIR locus containing a family of polymorphic and highly homologous genes maps to chromosome 19q134 within the 1 Mb leukocyte receptor complex LRC The Blockade of inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulinlike A limited number of KIRs are activating their recognition of MHC molecules activates the cytotoxic activity of their cell 6 Initial expression of KIRs on NK cells is stochastic but NK cells undergo an educational process as they mature that alters the KIR expression to maximize the balance between effective defense and selftolerance KIR MHC class I molecules and kirs in human history health and The KIRs are considered to be the key receptors that control the development and function of human NK cells 121518 Fourteen KIRs triggering either inhibition 3DL13 2DL13 2DL5 or activation 3DS1 2DS15 or both 2DL4 have been identified in humans Fig 2 1920 KIRs possess 2 or 3 extracellular immunoglobulin Iglike domains May 27 2019 Thereafter the resolution of the crystal structures of KIRs in complex with their ligands the development of several tools including soluble KIRs KIR tetramers HLA class I tetramers folded with selected peptides and retrovirally transduced human cell lines ie NKL Jurkat expressing only one KIR allowed to refine KIRKIRligand KillerCell ImmunoglobulinLike Receptor an overview Killer cell immunoglobulinlike receptors KIRs have a central role in the control of natural killer NK cell function The functions of the activating KIRs as compared to those of the inhibitory KIR have been more difficult to define due to difficulties in antibodymediated identification and t KIRCD8 and NKG2ACD8 T cells are distinct innatelike Mar 28 2023 KIRs and NKG2A deliver inhibitory signals to NK cells by recognizing MHC molecules that tend to be downregulated in virusinfected or tumor cells allowing NK cells to kill their target cells 6 7 8 KIRs include KIR2DL1 KIR2DL23 and KIR3DL1 which bind to HLAC C2 HLAC C1 and HLABw4 respectively 9 NKG2A is a member of the CD94NKG2 family rauli that
