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 185 extracellular domain (ECD) that contains a stalk region and one C-type lectin domain (CTLD) (2-4). Within the ECD, human CLEC9A shares 57% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat CLEC9A. 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).
