Background: DCIR/CLEC4A

DCIR (Dendritic Cell Immunoreceptor), also known as Lectin-like Immunoreceptor (LLIR), is a type II membrane protein belonging to the C-type lectin domain family and is designated CLEC4A (previously designated CLECSF6). Four transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified (1, 2). DCIR contains one carbohydrate recognition domain in its C-terminal extracellular domain and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic domain (3). Crystal structure identifies the nonterminal disaccharide GlcNAc beta1-2Man as its primary binding epitope (4). Human DCIR consists of 237 amino acids (aa) with a 48 aa cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane region, and a 168 aa extracellular domain. Human DCIR shares approximately 56% amino acid identity with the mouser version and 55% amino acid identity with the rat version of the protein. Besides dendritic cell, DCIR is expressed on B cells, monocytes/macrophages and granulocytes. It acts as a mannose/fucose lectin and interacts with targets of both endogenous and pathogenic origin (5), binding sugars with broad specificity in a calcium-dependent manner (4). DCIR is critically important for the homeostasis of the immune system. DCIR can inhibit B cell receptor mediated calcium mobilization and protein tyrosine phosphorylation through its intracellular ITIM Motif (6, 7). It can interact directly with the HIV-1 virus thus modulate HIV-1 transmission (8). Recent study has demonstrated that DCIR-specific ligands are present on various cancer cell lines and keratinocytes (5).
