生化机理
Human CNTF (ciliary neurotrophic factor) encodes a 200 amino acid polypeptide that lacks a signal sequence. It shares 83% and 84% sequence identity with the mouse and rat homologs, respectively. CNTF is known to be expressed by Schwann cells, astrocytes and T cells. CNTF is structurally related to IL-6, IL-11, LIF and OSM. All of these four helix bundle cytokines share gp130 as a signal-transducing subunit in their receptor complexes. Engagement of CNTF with CNTFR alpha, LIFR, and gp130 on CD4 T cells has been shown to increase the number of IFN-gamma producing differentiated cells. IFN-gamma being a mediator of IFN-beta suggests CNTF's role in therapeutic effects of IFN-beta in multiple sclerosis. CNTFR alpha contains a 22 amino acid signal peptide, 320 amino acids mature domain and a 30 amino acids propeptide. The mature human CNTFR alpha contains one Ig-like C2-type domain and two Fibronectin type III domains. CNTFR alpha differs from other cytokine receptors in that it lacks transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains and is anchored to cell membranes by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. Mature human CNTFR alpha shares 98% and 96% sequence identity with its mouse and rat homologs in the mature domain, respectively. Similar to other GPI-linked proteins, soluble CNTFR alpha (CNTF sR alpha ) can be released from the cell surface by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C. CNTF sR alpha can be released from skeletal muscle in response to peripheral nerve injury and high concentrations of CNTF sR alpha have also been detected in human cerebrospinal fluid. CNTF sR alpha binds CNTF in solution and the complex can act on cells that express only LIF R beta and gp130 but not CNTFR alpha.
Post-translational: GPI processing by GDPD2 releases 2 soluble forms, a 100 kDa form and a 90 kDa form (PubMed:31932351).
In vitro, GPI processing is also mediated by a phosphatidylinositol (PI) phospholipase C (PI-PLC) releasing a soluble form of 90 kDa (PubMed:1648265, PubMed:31932351).
The 100 kDa form is released by extracellular vesicles (PubMed:31932351).
69.2-98.6 kDa, under reducing conditions; 69.2-98.6 kDa, under non-reducing conditions.
