Background: CLEC9a

CLEC9A (C-type lectin domain family 9 member A), also known as DNGR-1, is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein member of the C‑type lectin superfamily (1). Mature mouse CLEC9A consists of a 35 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain with an ITAM-like motif, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 182 extracellular domain (ECD) that contains a stalk region and one C-type lectin domain (CTLD) (2‑4). Within the ECD, mouse CLEC9A shares 57% and 80% aa sequence identity with human and rat CLEC9A, respectively. Alternative splicing of mouse CLEC9A generates additional isoforms with insertions in the stalk region or deletions of the transmembrane segment, the CTLD, or a portion of the CTLD (2). Although the CTLD of CLEC9A structurally resembles that of other C-type lectins, it lacks the conserved residues that typically mediate calcium and carbohydrate binding. CLEC9A is expressed as a disulfide‑linked homodimer of approximately 50 kDa N‑glycosylated subunits (2, 4). Human CLEC9A expression is restricted to a subpopulation of BDCA‑3+ conventional dendritic cells (cDC) and CD16- monocytes (2‑5). BDCA-3+ cDC are analagous to mouse CD8+ cDC which are specialized in antigenic cross-presentation in complex with MHC class I molecules (6). In mouse, CLEC9A is additionally expressed on plasmacytoid dendritic cells (3, 4). CLEC9A ligation enhances antigen uptake and processing, leading to presentation on MHC class I and cytotoxic T cell (CTL) priming (2‑5, 7). Its recognition of filamentous actin in dead cells is important for triggering an immune response to necrotic cell debris (8-10). CLEC9A is also required for the presentation of viral proteins and the subsequent CTL‑mediated killing of virus-infected cells (11, 12). CLEC9A signaling triggers activation of the tyrosine kinase Syk (2, 8).
