MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]
Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.

Mammalian CD1 and MR1 genes [PDF]
All higher vertebrates share the fundamental components of the adaptive immune system: the B cell receptor, the T cell receptor, and classical MHC proteins. At a more detailed level, their immune systems vary considerably, especially with respect to the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like proteins.

MR1, an immunological periscope of cellular metabolism [PDF]
AbstractThe discovery that major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related molecule 1 (MR1) presents microbial antigens to mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells was a significant scientific milestone in the last decade. Surveillance for foreign metabolically derived antigens added a new class of target structures for immune recognition ...

The NF-κB transcription factor RelA directs mucosal-associated invariant T-cell development. [PDF]
In this study, we found that the nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer in activated B cells (NF‐κB) transcription factor RelA, and to a lesser extent NF‐κB1 and NF‐κB2, are key regulators of mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT)‐cell development and differentiation.

Expression and trafficking of MR1 [PDF]
SummaryMHC class I‐related gene protein (MR1) is a non‐polymorphic MHC class IB antigen‐presenting molecule that is the restricting molecule for mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, a prominent population of innate‐like antibacterial T cells. The MAIT cell–MR1 axis represents a new paradigm in antigen presentation, with the MR1 ligand derived ...

Drugs and drug-like molecules can modulate the function of mucosal-associated invariant T cells [PDF]
The major-histocompatibility-complex-(MHC)-class-I-related molecule MR1 can present activating and non-activating vitamin-B-based ligands to mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells). Whether MR1 binds other ligands is unknown. Here we identified

MR1: An unconventional twist in the tail
MR1 is a conserved molecule that binds microbial vitamin B metabolites and presents them to unconventional T cells. Lim and colleagues (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202110125) uncover the role of AP2 in ensuring MR1 surface presentation, which relies on an atypical motif within the MR1 cytoplasmic tail.

MAIT cell recognition of MR1 on bacterially infected and uninfected cells. [PDF]
Mucosal-associated invariant T cells are a unique population of T cells that express a semi-invariant αβ TCR and are restricted by the MHC class I-related molecule MR1.

A Complex Neurodevelopmental Phenotype Resembling a Chromatinopathy With Concurrent 7p Duplication and 10p Deletion Involving ZMYND11: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
This study presents a 25‐year‐old female with global developmental delay, dysmorphic features, and a complex phenotype arising from co‐occurring chromosomal anomalies: a 6 Mb 10p15.3p14 microdeletion involving the ZMYND11 gene and a 7.6 Mb 7p22.3p21.3 microduplication.

Renormalisation Group Analysis of Single Right-handed Neutrino Dominance [PDF]
We perform a renormalisation group (RG) analysis of neutrino masses and mixing angles in the see-saw mechanism in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with three right-handed neutrinos, including the effects of the heavy neutrino thresholds.
