Murine NKG2D is known to recognize H60 and five RAE1 variants.
The human homologue recognizes both inducible MHC class I chain-related
gene and constitutive (UL16-binding protein (ULBP)) ligands.
Widely expressed, the latter are thought to mark transformed or
infected cells for destruction by NK cells in the context of
down-regulated cell surface class I (i.e., the "missing
self"-response). Unlike MIC and ULBP however, mRNA for the murine
ligands appears only in very limited contexts in the mature animal. In
this study, we describe a NKG2D ligand termed "murine ULBP-like
transcript 1 (MULT1) whose mRNA appears to be widely expressed in adult
parenchyma. This molecule possesses MHC class I-like
1 and
2
domains as well as a large cytoplasmic domain. Recombinant MULT1 binds
NKG2D with relatively high affinity (KD
6 nM) and low koff
(
0.006s-1). Expression of MULT1 by normally resistant
RMA cells results in their susceptibility to lysis by C57BL/6
splenocytes.
