    Description: Primate-specific segmental duplications are considered important in human disease and evolution. The inability to distinguish between allelic and duplication sequence overlap has hampered their characterization as well as assembly and annotation of our genome. We developed a method whereby each public sequence is analyzed at the clone level for overrepresentation within a whole-genome shotgun sequence. This test has the ability to detect duplications larger than 15 kilobases irrespective of copy number, location, or high sequence similarity. We mapped 169 large regions flanked by highly similar duplications. Twenty-four of these hot spots of genomic instability have been associated with genetic disease. Our analysis indicates a highly nonrandom chromosomal and genic distribution of recent segmental duplications, with a likely role in expanding protein diversity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bailey, Jeffrey A -- Gu, Zhiping -- Clark, Royden A -- Reinert, Knut -- Samonte, Rhea V -- Schwartz, Stuart -- Adams, Mark D -- Myers, Eugene W -- Li, Peter W -- Eichler, Evan E -- CA094816/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM58815/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HG002318/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Aug 9;297(5583):1003-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Genetics, Center for Computational Genomics, and Center for Human Genetics, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals of Cleveland, Cleveland, OH 44106, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12169732" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Neutrophils kill microorganisms with oxygen radicals generated by an oxidase that uses the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as substrate. This system requires both membrane and cytosolic components and is defective in patients with chronic granulomatous disease. A cytosolic complex capable of activating latent membrane oxidase was eluted from guanosine triphosphate-agarose and was used to raise polyclonal antiserum that recognized 47- and 67-kilodalton proteins. These proteins were restricted to the cytosol of myeloid cells. Both proteins were associated with NADPH oxidase-activating capacity when neutrophil cytosol was purified on nucleotide affinity matrices or molecular sizing columns. Neutrophils from patients with two different forms of autosomal chronic granulomatous disease lacked either the 47- or 67-kilodalton protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Volpp, B D -- Nauseef, W M -- Clark, R A -- AI 20866/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DM 01295/PHS HHS/ -- I01 BX000513/BX/BLRD VA/ -- R01 AI020866/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Dec 2;242(4883):1295-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, University of Iowa, College of Medicine, Iowa City.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2848318" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Chronic granulomatous diseases (CGDs) are characterized by recurrent infections resulting from impaired superoxide production by a phagocytic cell, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced) (NADPH) oxidase. Complementary DNAs were cloned that encode the 67-kilodalton (kD) cytosolic oxidase factor (p67), which is deficient in 5% of CGD patients. Recombinant p67 (r-p67) partially restored NADPH oxidase activity to p67-deficient neutrophil cytosol from these patients. The p67 cDNA encodes a 526-amino acid protein with acidic middle and carboxyl-terminal domains that are similar to a sequence motif found in the noncatalytic domain of src-related tyrosine kinases. This motif was recently noted in phospholipase C-gamma, nonerythroid alpha-spectrin (fodrin), p21ras-guanosine triphophatase-activating protein (GAP), myosin-1 isoforms, yeast proteins cdc-25 and fus-1, and the 47-kD phagocyte oxidase factor (p47), which suggests the possibility of common regulatory features.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Leto, T L -- Lomax, K J -- Volpp, B D -- Nunoi, H -- Sechler, J M -- Nauseef, W M -- Clark, R A -- Gallin, J I -- Malech, H L -- I01 BX000513/BX/BLRD VA/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 May 11;248(4956):727-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Clinical Investigation, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, MD 20892.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1692159" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Segmental duplications in the human genome are selectively enriched for genes involved in immunity, although the phenotypic consequences for host defense are unknown. We show that there are significant interindividual and interpopulation differences in the copy number of a segmental duplication encompassing the gene encoding CCL3L1 (MIP-1alphaP), a potent human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1)-suppressive chemokine and ligand for the HIV coreceptor CCR5. Possession of a CCL3L1 copy number lower than the population average is associated with markedly enhanced HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) susceptibility. This susceptibility is even greater in individuals who also possess disease-accelerating CCR5 genotypes. This relationship between CCL3L1 dose and altered HIV/AIDS susceptibility points to a central role for CCL3L1 in HIV/AIDS pathogenesis and indicates that differences in the dose of immune response genes may constitute a genetic basis for variable responses to infectious diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gonzalez, Enrique -- Kulkarni, Hemant -- Bolivar, Hector -- Mangano, Andrea -- Sanchez, Racquel -- Catano, Gabriel -- Nibbs, Robert J -- Freedman, Barry I -- Quinones, Marlon P -- Bamshad, Michael J -- Murthy, Krishna K -- Rovin, Brad H -- Bradley, William -- Clark, Robert A -- Anderson, Stephanie A -- O'connell, Robert J -- Agan, Brian K -- Ahuja, Seema S -- Bologna, Rosa -- Sen, Luisa -- Dolan, Matthew J -- Ahuja, Sunil K -- AI043279/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI046326/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- MH069270/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Mar 4;307(5714):1434-40.

    Description: Protective T-cell memory has long been thought to reside in blood and lymph nodes, but recently the concept of immune memory in peripheral tissues mediated by resident memory T (T(RM)) cells has been proposed. Here we show in mice that localized vaccinia virus (VACV) skin infection generates long-lived non-recirculating CD8(+) skin T(RM) cells that reside within the entire skin. These skin T(RM) cells are potent effector cells, and are superior to circulating central memory T (T(CM)) cells at providing rapid long-term protection against cutaneous re-infection. We find that CD8(+) T cells are rapidly recruited to skin after acute VACV infection. CD8(+) T-cell recruitment to skin is independent of CD4(+) T cells and interferon-gamma, but requires the expression of E- and P-selectin ligands by CD8(+) T cells. Using parabiotic mice, we further show that circulating CD8(+) T(CM) and CD8(+) skin T(RM) cells are both generated after skin infection; however, CD8(+) T(CM) cells recirculate between blood and lymph nodes whereas T(RM) cells remain in the skin. Cutaneous CD8(+) T(RM) cells produce effector cytokines and persist for at least 6 months after infection. Mice with CD8(+) skin T(RM) cells rapidly cleared a subsequent re-infection with VACV whereas mice with circulating T(CM) but no skin T(RM) cells showed greatly impaired viral clearance, indicating that T(RM) cells provide superior protection. Finally, we show that T(RM) cells generated as a result of localized VACV skin infection reside not only in the site of infection, but also populate the entire skin surface and remain present for many months. Repeated re-infections lead to progressive accumulation of highly protective T(RM) cells in non-involved skin. These findings have important implications for our understanding of protective immune memory at epithelial interfaces with the environment, and suggest novel strategies for vaccines that protect against tissue tropic organisms.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3437663/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3437663/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jiang, Xiaodong -- Clark, Rachael A -- Liu, Luzheng -- Wagers, Amy J -- Fuhlbrigge, Robert C -- Kupper, Thomas S -- R01 AI025082/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI041707/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI097128/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR056720/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR065807/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01AI041707/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37AI025082/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- TR01AI097128/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Feb 29;483(7388):227-31. doi: 10.1038/nature10851.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Dermatology and Harvard Skin Disease Research Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22388819" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Subcellular gradients of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, are thought to be critical for the localization of functional responses within a cell. A potential but previously unexplored mechanism for the generation of gradients of [Ca2+]i is the accumulation of Ca2+ stores at the site of Ca2+ action. The distribution of the Ca2+ store markers Ca(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and calreticulin was investigated in resting and phagocytosing human neutrophils. Both proteins showed an evenly distributed fine granular pattern in nonphagocytosing cells, but became markedly concentrated in the filamentous actin-rich cytoplasmic area around the ingested particle during phagocytosis. This redistribution began at early stages of phagocytosis and did not depend on an increase in [Ca2+]i. Thus, accumulation of Ca2+ stores in a restricted area of the cell may contribute to the generation of localized increases in [Ca2+]i.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stendahl, O -- Krause, K H -- Krischer, J -- Jerstrom, P -- Theler, J M -- Clark, R A -- Carpentier, J L -- Lew, D P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Sep 2;265(5177):1439-41.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Microbiology, Linkoping University, Sweden.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8073285" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Angiogenesis depends on the adhesive interactions of vascular cells. The adhesion receptor integrin alpha v beta 3 was identified as a marker of angiogenic vascular tissue. Integrin alpha v beta 3 was expressed on blood vessels in human wound granulation tissue but not in normal skin, and it showed a fourfold increase in expression during angiogenesis on the chick chorioallantoic membrane. In the latter assay, a monoclonal antibody to alpha v beta 3 blocked angiogenesis induced by basic fibroblast growth factor, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and human melanoma fragments but had no effect on preexisting vessels. These findings suggest that alpha v beta 3 may be a useful therapeutic target for diseases characterized by neovascularization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brooks, P C -- Clark, R A -- Cheresh, D A -- CA45726/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA50286/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Apr 22;264(5158):569-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7512751" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
