Function. Pore-forming protein involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. Plays a central role in antigen cross-presentation in dendritic cells by forming a pore in antigen-containing compartments, thereby promoting delivery of antigens for cross-presentation. Also involved in innate immune response following bacterial infection; shows antibacterial activity against a wide spectrum of Gram-positive, Gram-negative and acid-fast bacteria. Reduces the viability of the intracytosolic pathogen L.monocytogenes by inhibiting acidification of the phagocytic vacuole of host cells which restricts bacterial translocation from the vacuole to the cytosol. Required for the antibacterial activity of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide. Pore-forming protein that plays a central role in antigen cross-presentation in dendritic cells by mediating delivery of antigens for cross-presentation. Dendritic cells bridge innate and adaptive immunity by capturing exogenous antigens on MHC class-I molecules and presenting them to naive CD8(+) T-cells. Acts by forming a pore in antigen-containing compartments, promoting the release of antigens into the cytosol, enabling generation of MHCI:peptide complexes and T-cell priming.

Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Predominantly forms a homooligomeric arc-shaped pore complex instead of complete rings of 16 subunits.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane Cytoplasmic vesicle. Phagosome membrane Secreted.

Tissue specificity. Expressed constitutively in a variety of cell types including macrophages, natural killer cells, neutrophils, keratinocytes and monocytes. In skin, expressed in both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells with expression detected in a variety of cell types including keratinocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells.

Post-translational modifications. Proteolytically processed in two steps to generate the Macrophage-expressed gene 1 protein, processed form: cleaved by trypsin in proximity of the helical transmembrane domain releases the ectodomain into the lysosomal lumen to orient the pore-forming domain toward the endogenous membranes, and processed by the asparagine endopeptidase (LGMN). Monoubiquitinated in response to bacterial infection; ubiquitination is required for vesicular localization and antibacterial activity and can be blocked by bacterial cell cycle inhibiting factor (cif).

Disease relevance. Immunodeficiency 77 (IMD77) [MIM:619223] An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent, persistent bacterial and fungal infections with multiple unusual organisms. Skin and pulmonary infections are the most common. Patient macrophages show impaired killing of intracellular bacteria and organisms, including non-tubercular mycobacteria, Pseudomonas, Candida, and Aspergillus. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Forms arc- and ring-shaped pre-pores on top of the membrane at neutral to slightly acidic pH conditions and converts to pores upon acidification. Undergoes transition from the pre-pore to the pore in a processive clockwise hand-over-hand process. In the pore state, 2 alpha-helical regions refold into transmembrane hairpins (TMH1 and TMH2) in each protomer that form in the ensemble complex giant beta-barrel transmembrane pores.

Domain organisation. The MACPF domain includes the central machinery of pore formation: acidification causes a significant structural rearrangement, leading to oligomerization and deployment of the transmembrane beta-strands (named TMH1 and TMH2) that enter the membrane as amphipathic beta-hairpins. The P2 region contains beta-hairpins to interact with target membranes.

Induction. By wounding; increased levels are observed in hematopoietic cells 48 hours after wounding. Following wounding, repressed by infection with S.aureus. Isoform 1: By lipopolysaccharide and TNF. Isoform 2: By lipopolysaccharide and TNF.

Miscellaneous. Lacks the C-terminal transmembrane domain.

Similarity. Belongs to the MPEG1 family.

PubChem BioAssay actives

17 with measured affinity, of 83 total; 16 most potent distinct compounds. Largely complementary to BindingDB; screening values are coarse (µM, 4 dp), so sub-nM hits tie at the floor.
