    Description: A lymphocyte subpopulation, the Valpha14 natural killer T (NKT) cells, expresses both NK1.1 and a single invariant T cell receptor encoded by the Valpha14 and Jalpha281 gene segments. Mice with a deletion of the Jalpha281 gene segment were found to exclusively lack this subpopulation. The Valpha14 NKT cell-deficient mice could no longer mediate the interleukin-12 (IL-12)-induced rejection of tumors. Although the antitumor effect of IL-12 was thought to be mediated through natural killer cells and T cells, Valpha14 NKT cells were found to be an essential target of IL-12, and they mediated their cytotoxicity by an NK-like effector mechanism after activation with IL-12.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cui, J -- Shin, T -- Kawano, T -- Sato, H -- Kondo, E -- Toura, I -- Kaneko, Y -- Koseki, H -- Kanno, M -- Taniguchi, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Nov 28;278(5343):1623-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology (CREST) Project, Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST), 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba, Japan 260.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9374462" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes express an invariant T cell antigen receptor (TCR) encoded by the Valpha14 and Jalpha281 gene segments. A glycosylceramide-containing alpha-anomeric sugar with a longer fatty acyl chain (C26) and sphingosine base (C18) was identified as a ligand for this TCR. Glycosylceramide-mediated proliferative responses of Valpha14 NKT cells were abrogated by treatment with chloroquine-concanamycin A or by monoclonal antibodies against CD1d/Vbeta8, CD40/CD40L, or B7/CTLA-4/CD28, but not by interference with the function of a transporter-associated protein. Thus, this lymphocyte shares distinct recognition systems with either T or NK cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kawano, T -- Cui, J -- Koezuka, Y -- Toura, I -- Kaneko, Y -- Motoki, K -- Ueno, H -- Nakagawa, R -- Sato, H -- Kondo, E -- Koseki, H -- Taniguchi, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Nov 28;278(5343):1626-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉CREST (Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology) Project, Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST), 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo, Chiba 260, Japan.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9374463" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Transmembrane signals initiated by a broad range of extracellular stimuli converge on nodes that regulate phospholipase C (PLC)-dependent inositol lipid hydrolysis for signal propagation. We describe how heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) activate PLC-betas and in turn are deactivated by these downstream effectors. The 2.7-angstrom structure of PLC-beta3 bound to activated Galpha(q) reveals a conserved module found within PLC-betas and other effectors optimized for rapid engagement of activated G proteins. The active site of PLC-beta3 in the complex is occluded by an intramolecular plug that is likely removed upon G protein-dependent anchoring and orientation of the lipase at membrane surfaces. A second domain of PLC-beta3 subsequently accelerates guanosine triphosphate hydrolysis by Galpha(q), causing the complex to dissociate and terminate signal propagation. Mutations within this domain dramatically delay signal termination in vitro and in vivo. Consequently, this work suggests a dynamic catch-and-release mechanism used to sharpen spatiotemporal signals mediated by diverse sensory inputs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3046049/" 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/PMC3046049/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Waldo, Gary L -- Ricks, Tiffany K -- Hicks, Stephanie N -- Cheever, Matthew L -- Kawano, Takeharu -- Tsuboi, Kazuhito -- Wang, Xiaoyue -- Montell, Craig -- Kozasa, Tohru -- Sondek, John -- Harden, T Kendall -- EY010852/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- GM074001/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM38213/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM57391/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM61454/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM057391/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM057391-13/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM062299/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Nov 12;330(6006):974-80. doi: 10.1126/science.1193438.
