CD245 is a human surface antigen expressed on peripheral blood lymphocytes, initially delineated by two monoclonal antibodies DY12 and DY35. Until now, CD245 molecular and functional characteristics remained largely unknown. We combined immunological and proteomic approaches and identified CD245 as the unconventional myosin 18A, a highly conserved motor enzyme reported as a receptor for the surfactant protein A (SP-A), that plays a critical role in cytoskeleton organization and Golgi budding. We report that the recruitment of CD245 strongly enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity. Further, we show that the enhancement of the NK lymphocytes killing ability toward CD137-ligand expressing target cells could result from the induction of CD137 expression following CD245 engagement. The SP-A receptor could therefore represent a novel and promising target in cancer immunotherapy.

Alternative and combinatorial splicing of myosin 18A (MYO18A) gene transcripts results in expression of MYO18A protein isoforms and isoform variants with different membrane and subcellular localizations, and functional properties. MYO18A proteins are members of the myosin superfamily consisting of a myosin-like motor domain, an IQ motif, and a coiled-coil domain. MYO18A isoforms, however, lack the ability to hydrolyze ATP and do not perform ATP-dependent motor activity.

Influenza A virus (IAV) infection causes acute and often lethal inflammation in the lung. The role of macrophages in this adverse inflammation is partially understood. The surfactant protein A receptor 210 (SP-R210) consists of two isoforms, a long (L) SP-R210 and a short (S) SP-R210 isoform encoded by alternative splicing of the myosin 18A gene.

Glutamine has been used to improve intestinal development and immunity in fish. We previously found that dietary glutamine enhances growth and alleviates enteritis in juvenile hybrid groupers (). This study aimed to further reveal the protective role of glutamine on glycinin-induced enteritis by integrating transcriptome, proteome, and microRNA analyses.

PTEN is a phosphoinositide lipid phosphatase and an important tumour suppressor protein. PTEN function is reduced or lost in around a third of all human cancers through diverse mechanisms, from gene deletion to changes in the function of proteins which regulate PTEN through direct protein binding. Here we present data from SILAC (Stable Isotope Labelling by Amino acids in Cell culture) proteomic screens to identify proteins which bind to PTEN.

Background: The role of different Golgi signalling proteins remains unexplored in the progression and spread of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), whom all interact together in a way that facilitates proliferation and differentiation of myeloid lineage cells.
Objective: Since Golgi apparatus acts as master brain in membrane trafficking and signalling events that affect cell polarity necessary for migration, division, or differentiation; this study aims to explore the association between signalling proteins and the diagnosis, prognosis, and survival of AML patients.
Material And Methods: This study comprised 70 newly diagnosed AML patients and 20 healthy controls to investigate the serum levels of signalling proteins; Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3), Myosin 18A (MYO18A), Cytoplasmic Phosphatidylinositol Transfer Protein 1 (PITPNC1) and Ras-Associated Binding Protein 1B (RAB1B).
