A Novel α9 Integrin Ligand, XCL1/Lymphotactin, Is Involved in the Development of Murine Models of Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2017
The integrin α9β1 is a key receptor involved in the development of autoimmune diseases. However, the detailed mechanism for the association of α9β1 integrin with its ligands remains unclear.

Engineering Metamorphic Chemokine Lymphotactin/XCL1 into the GAG-Binding, HIV-Inhibitory Dimer Conformation [PDF]

ACS Chemical Biology, 2015
Unlike other chemokines, XCL1 undergoes a distinct metamorphic interconversion between a canonical monomeric chemokine fold and a unique β-sandwich dimer.

In Situ Engineering of Tumor Cells as Self‐Sustaining cDC1 Programming Factories for Effective Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]

Advanced Science
Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) play a crucial role in initiating and regulating antitumor immunity. However, the insufficient infiltration and dysfunctional state of these cells within the tumor microenvironment hinder antitumor immune ...

Macrophages in tertiary lymphoid structures promote apoptosis of ATF4-positive gastric cancer cells via IL18 [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Gastric cancer (GC) is a globally prevalent and highly fatal malignancy of the digestive system. Despite its transformative role in gastric cancer, immunotherapy’s efficacy is limited by the complexity and incomplete understanding of the ...

Targeting Xcr1 on Dendritic Cells Rapidly Induce Th1-Associated Immune Responses That Contribute to Protection Against Influenza Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Targeting antigen to conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) can improve antigen-specific immune responses and additionally be used to influence the polarization of the immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which this is achieved are less clear.

Specific binding‐induced modulation of the XCL1 metamorphic equilibrium [PDF]

Biopolymers, 2020
AbstractThe metamorphic protein XCL1 switches between two distinct native structures with different functions in the human immune system. This structural interconversion requires complete rearrangement of all hydrogen bonding networks, yet fold‐switching occurs spontaneously and reversibly in solution. One structure occupies the canonical α‐β chemokine

A Requirement for Metamorphic Interconversion in the Antimicrobial Activity of Chemokine XCL1 [PDF]

Biochemistry, 2016
Chemokines make up a superfamily of ∼50 small secreted proteins (8-12 kDa) involved in a host of physiological processes and disease states, with several previously shown to have direct antimicrobial activity comparable to that of defensins in efficacy.

Crowded environments tune the fold-switching in metamorphic proteins

Communications Chemistry, 2023
Metamorphic proteins such as circadian clock protein KaiB and human chemokine XCL1 play vital roles in regulating biological processes, including gene expression, circadian clock and innate immune responses, and perform distinct functions in living cell ...
