The {alpha}2 Domain of H-2Dd Restricts the Allelic Specificity of the Murine NK Cell Inhibitory Receptor Ly-49A1

Mouse NK lymphocytes express Ly-49 receptors, which inhibit cytotoxicity upon ligation by specific MHC I molecules on targets. Different members of the lectin-like mouse Ly-49 receptor family recognize distinct subsets of murine H-2 molecules, but the molecular basis for the allelic specificity of Ly-49 has not been defined. We analyzed inhibition of natural killing by chimeric MHC I molecules in which the {alpha}1, {alpha}2, or {alpha}3 domains of the Ly-49A-binding allele H-2Dd were exchanged for the corresponding domains of the nonbinding allele H-2Db. Using the Ly-49A-transfected rat NK cell line, RNK-mLy-49A.9, we demonstrated that the H-2Dd {alpha}2 domain alone accounts for allelic specificity in protection of rat YB2/0 targets in vitro. We also showed that the H-2Dd {alpha}2 domain is sufficient to account for the allele-specific in vivo protection of H-2b mouse RBL-5 tumors from NK cell-mediated rejection in D8 mice. Thus, in striking contrast to the {alpha}1 specificity of Ig-like killer inhibitory receptors for human HLA, the lectin-like mouse Ly-49A receptor is predominantly restricted by the H-2Dd {alpha}2 domain in vitro and in vivo.
