| Abstract | Cell surface expression of class II major histocompatibility complex-encoded (Ia) molecules depends on association of the component alpha and beta chains into a stable heterodimer. In the mouse, two isotypes of class II molecules have been identified, A beta A alpha and E beta E alpha. However, experiments from this laboratory have shown that, following DNA-mediated gene transfer into murine L cells, an A beta E alpha-mixed-isotype molecule can be assembled and expressed at the cell surface. In the present study, we have investigated the structural features of the beta chain that control the extent of association and level of membrane expression of A beta E alpha interisotypic pairs. The use of intact allelic A beta genes demonstrated that only A beta d chains, but not A beta b or A beta k chains, can be coexpressed on the surface membrane with E alpha chains. Transfection of recombinant A beta genes that encode all or half of the beta 1 domain from one allele and the rest of the chain from another allele revealed that the 5-7 polymorphic residues in the amino-terminal 50 residues of the A beta chain completely controlled this variation in expression with E alpha. Isotypically mixed beta genes encoding the A beta 1 domain of either A beta d or A beta k chains and the beta 2, transmembrane, and intracytoplasmic portions of E beta chains were used to assess the role of isotypically conserved structures in alpha beta pairing and expression. In marked contrast to the major alterations in expression accompanying changes in the amino-terminal polymorphic residues, exchange of these carboxyl-terminal isotypic segments had no detectable influence on the efficiency of expression with either A alpha or E alpha chains. These results argue strongly that variations in the efficiency with which distinct Ia alpha beta dimers assemble and are transported to the membrane is determined almost exclusively by a critical chain interaction involving the amino-terminal domains of the molecules. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
