“CD46”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

This gene is found in a cluster on chromosome 1q32 with other genes encoding structural components of the complement system. At least fourteen different transcript variants encoding fourteen different isoforms have been found for this gene.^[3]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane protein and is a regulatory part of the complement system.

The encoded protein has cofactor activity for inactivation (through cleavage) of complement components C3b and C4b by serum factor I, which protects the host cell from damage by complement.^[4]

The protein encoded by this gene may be involved in the fusion of the spermatozoa with the oocyte during fertilization.^[5]

Clinical significance

The encoded protein can act as a receptor for the Edmonston strain of measles virus,^[6] human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), and type IV pili of pathogenic Neisseria.^[7]

The extracellular region of CD46 contains four short consensus repeats (SCR) of about 60 amino acids that fold into a compact beta-barrel domain surrounded by flexible loops.^[8] As has been demonstrated for CD46 with other ligands, the CD46 protein structure is believed to linearize upon binding HHV-6. While their precise interaction has not yet been determined, the second and third SCR domains have been demonstrated to be required for HHV-6 receptor binding and cellular entry. The heterotetramer gH/gL/gQ1/gQ2 complex of HHV-6 has been identified as a CD46 ligand.^[9]

Established medulloblastoma (a malignant brain tumor common in childhood) specimens express CD46, and that medulloblastoma specimens removed from patients had a high level of CD46 expression. Therefore, a vaccine made of the Edmonston strain of measles virus could treat the medulloblastoma. Such a vaccine has already been tested in a number of trials involving other tumor types which have a high expression of CD46, including one type of adult brain tumor.^[10]
