Previous analysis of hybrid progeny derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) responder and nonresponder inbred mouse strains demonstrated that a single genetic locus controlled responsiveness to LPS. Using a differential functional screening approach, we report the isolation of a cDNA that has sequence homology to a GTP-binding protein. Expression of the cDNA in splenic B cells of C3H/HeJ nonresponder, endotoxin-resistant mice resulted in polyclonal B-cell activation in response to LPS stimulation. Thus a GTP-binding protein may be involved in LPS stimulation in B cells and perhaps other cell types.
先前对来自脂多糖(LPS)应答和不应答近交小鼠品系的杂交后代进行的分析表明,单个基因座控制对LPS的反应性。使用差异功能筛选方法,我们报告分离出一种与GTP结合蛋白具有序列同源性的cDNA。该cDNA在C3H/HeJ不应答、内毒素抗性小鼠的脾B细胞中表达,导致对LPS刺激产生多克隆B细胞活化。因此,一种GTP结合蛋白可能参与B细胞以及也许其他细胞类型中的LPS刺激。
