FunctionMXRA8_MOUSE Transmembrane protein which can modulate activity of various signaling pathways, probably via binding to integrin ITGAV:ITGB3 (PubMed:18366072, PubMed:22492581, PubMed:29702220). Mediates heterophilic cell-cell interactions in vitro (PubMed:18366072). Inhibits osteoclastogenesis downstream of TNFSF11/RANKL and CSF1, where it may function by attenuating signaling via integrin ITGB3 and MAP kinase p38 (PubMed:22492581). Plays a role in cartilage formation where it promotes proliferation and maturation of growth plate chondrocytes (PubMed:29702220). Stimulates formation of primary cilia in chondrocytes (PubMed:29702220). Enhances expression of genes involved in the hedgehog signaling pathway in chondrocytes, including the hedgehog signaling molecule IHH; may also promote signaling via the PTHLH/PTHrP pathway (PubMed:29702220). Plays a role in angiogenesis where it suppresses migration of endothelial cells and also promotes their apoptosis (By similarity). Inhibits VEGF-induced activation of AKT and p38 MAP kinase in endothelial cells (By similarity). Also inhibits VTN (vitronectin)-mediated integrin ITGAV:ITGB3 signaling and activation of PTK2/FAK (By similarity). May play a role in the maturation and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier (PubMed:14603461).[UniProtKB:Q9BRK3][1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedMxra8 is a receptor for multiple arthritogenic alphaviruses that cause debilitating acute and chronic musculoskeletal disease in humans. Herein, we present a 2.2 A resolution X-ray crystal structure of Mxra8 and 4 to 5 A resolution cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions of Mxra8 bound to chikungunya (CHIKV) virus-like particles and infectious virus. The Mxra8 ectodomain contains two strand-swapped Ig-like domains oriented in a unique disulfide-linked head-to-head arrangement. Mxra8 binds by wedging into a cleft created by two adjacent CHIKV E2-E1 heterodimers in one trimeric spike and engaging a neighboring spike. Two binding modes are observed with the fully mature VLP, with one Mxra8 binding with unique contacts. Only the high-affinity binding mode was observed in the complex with infectious CHIKV, as viral maturation and E3 occupancy appear to influence receptor binding-site usage. Our studies provide insight into how Mxra8 binds CHIKV and creates a path for developing alphavirus entry inhibitors.
