Function

PVR_HUMAN Mediates NK cell adhesion and triggers NK cell effector functions. Binds two different NK cell receptors: CD96 and CD226. These interactions accumulates at the cell-cell contact site, leading to the formation of a mature immunological synapse between NK cell and target cell. This may trigger adhesion and secretion of lytic granules and IFN-gamma and activate cytoxicity of activated NK cells. May also promote NK cell-target cell modular exchange, and PVR transfer to the NK cell. This transfer is more important in some tumor cells expressing a lot of PVR, and may trigger fratricide NK cell activation, providing tumors with a mechanism of immunoevasion. Plays a role in mediating tumor cell invasion and migration. Serves as a receptor for poliovirus attachment to target cells. May play a role in axonal transport of poliovirus, by targeting virion-PVR-containing endocytic vesicles to the microtubular network through interaction with DYNLT1. This interaction would drive the virus-containing vesicle to the axonal retrograde transport.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Nectins (nectin1-4) and Necls [nectin-like (Necl1-5)] are Ig superfamily cell adhesion molecules that regulate cell differentiation and tissue morphogenesis. Adherens junction formation and subsequent cell-cell signaling is initiated by the assembly of higher-order receptor clusters of cognate molecules on juxtaposed cells. However, the structural and mechanistic details of signaling cluster formation remain unclear. Here, we report the crystal structure of poliovirus receptor (PVR)/Nectin-like-5/CD155) in complex with its cognate immunoreceptor ligand T-cell-Ig-and-ITIM-domain (TIGIT). The TIGIT/PVR interface reveals a conserved specific "lock-and-key" interaction. Notably, two TIGIT/PVR dimers assemble into a heterotetramer with a core TIGIT/TIGIT cis-homodimer, each TIGIT molecule binding one PVR molecule. Structure-guided mutations that disrupt the TIGIT/TIGIT interface limit both TIGIT/PVR-mediated cell adhesion and TIGIT-induced PVR phosphorylation in primary dendritic cells. Our data suggest a cis-trans receptor clustering mechanism for cell adhesion and signaling by the TIGIT/PVR complex and provide structural insights into how the PVR family of immunoregulators function.
