Intramolecular activity regulation of adhesion GPCRs in light of recent structural and evolutionary information.

The class B2 of GPCRs known as adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) has come under increasing academic and nonacademic research focus over the past decade due to their physiological importance as mechano-sensors in cell-cell and cell-matrix contexts. A major advance in understanding signal transduction of aGPCRs was achieved by the identification of the so-called Stachel sequence, which acts as an intramolecular agonist at the interface between the N terminus (Nt) and the seven-transmembrane helix domain (7TMD). Distinct extracellular signals received by the Nt are integrated at the Stachel into structural changes of the 7TMD towards an active state conformation.

Identification of human exT cells as CD16CD56 cytotoxic CD4 T cells.

In atherosclerosis, some regulatory T (T) cells become exT cells. We crossed inducible T and exT cell lineage-tracker mice (FoxP3ROSA26) to atherosclerosis-prone Apoe mice, sorted T cells and exT cells and determined their transcriptomes by bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Genes that were differentially expressed between mouse T cells and exT cells and filtered for their presence in a human single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) panel identified exT cell signature genes as CST7, NKG7, GZMA, PRF1, TBX21 and CCL4.
