Essential role of Rap signal in pre-TCR–mediated β-selection checkpoint in αβ T-cell development

TL;DR: The results suggest that endogenous Rap GTPases downstream of pre-TCR play an essential role in rescuing pre-T cells from the p53-mediated checkpoint response, thus allowing Notch-mediated expansion and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of Rap-1 activation and early termination of immune synapse in CTLA-4-mediated negative signal.

TL;DR: It is found that CTLA-4 specifically up-regulates cell motility and suppresses prolonged accumulation of Talin at the contact area with antigen presenting cells upon antigen stimulation, and suggests that Rap-1 is activated upon CT LA-4 ligation and mediates inhibitory signals through prevention of IS formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Type Lectin Receptor Dectin-2 Binds to an Endogenous Protein β-Glucuronidase on Dendritic Cells.

TL;DR: This study suggests that a glycosylated protein with mannose-related structure is recognized by Dectin-2, and Overexpression of Gusb in a macrophage cell line conferred an ability to stimulate DectIn-2-expressing reporter cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid structure influences the ability of glucose monocorynomycolate to signal through Mincle

TL;DR: This work suggests that Mincle has the ability to survey mycolate-derived glycolipids from actinomycetes, distinguishing non-pathogenic and pathogenic species on the basis of α-chain length.
