What's a GeneRIF?

Our data support the notion that endogenous CD8 T cells contribute to passive EAE pathobiology in a NKG2D-dependent manner. Collectively, our results point to the deleterious role of NKG2D and its MULT1 in the pathobiology of a MS mouse model.
Title: NKG2D and Its Ligand MULT1 Contribute to Disease Progression in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis.
The results show that NK cells and the NKG2D receptor play a role in control of lymphomas, and that selection of NKG2D-ligand (MULT1) loss mutants provides a mechanism for tumor escape.
Title: Critical role of the NKG2D receptor for NK cell-mediated control and immune escape of B-cell lymphoma.
An increased expression of the NKG2D ligand MICA in systemic lupus erthematosus (SLE) patients' kidneys and Rae-1 and Mult-1 in various murine SLE models, is reported.
Title: NKG2D ligand overexpression in lupus nephritis correlates with increased NK cell activity and differentiation in kidneys but not in the periphery.
Although the study is preliminary, the data suggest that the MULT1E/mIL-12 bi-functional fusion protein is an effective activator of NK cells for cancer treatment.
Title: MULT1E/mIL-12: a novel bifunctional protein for natural killer cell activation.
These results identify Mult1 as a target for the MARCH family of E3 ligases

Mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) molecule fcr-1 promotes a rapid down-regulation of NKG2D ligands murine UL16-binding protein like transcript (MULT)-1 and H60 from the cell surface.
Title: The herpesviral Fc receptor fcr-1 down-regulates the NKG2D ligands MULT-1 and H60.
MULT1 (UL16-binding protein-like transcript 1) is expressed in adult parenchyma, possesses MHC class I-like alpha 1 and alpha 2 domains and a large cytoplasmic domain, and binds NKG2D with high affinity. (MULT1)

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
