Disease[TYRP1_MOUSE] Defects in Tyrp1 are the cause of the brown (b) phenotype. Brown mice have a brown or hypopigmented coat.[1] Function[TYRP1_MOUSE] Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6-quinone-2-carboxylic acid (PubMed:7813420). May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized (PubMed:7813420, PubMed:2245916). Also to a lower extent, capable of hydroxylating tyrosine and producing melanin (PubMed:1537333).[2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedT-cell priming occurs when a naive T cell recognizes cognate peptide-MHC complexes on an activated antigen presenting cell. The circumstances of this initial priming have ramifications on the fate of the newly primed T cell. Newly primed CD8+ T cells can embark onto different trajectories, with some becoming short-lived effector cells and others adopting a tissue resident or memory cell fate. To determine whether T-cell priming influences the quality of the effector T-cell response to tumors, we used transnuclear CD8+ T cells that recognize the melanoma antigen TRP1 using TRP1high or TRP1low TCRs that differ in both affinity and fine specificity. From a series of altered peptide ligands, we identified a point mutation (K8) in a non-anchor residue that, when analyzed crystallographically and biophysically, destabilized the peptide interaction with the MHC binding groove. In vitro, the K8 peptide induced robust proliferation of both TRP1high and TRP1low CD8+ T cells but did not induce expression of PD-1. Cytokine production from K8-stimulated TRP1 cells was minimal, whereas cytotoxicity was increased. Upon transfer into B16 tumor-bearing mice, the reference peptide (TRP1-M9)- and K8-stimulated TRP1 cells were equally effective at controlling tumor growth but accomplished this through different mechanisms. TRP1-M9-stimulated cells produced more IFNg, whereas K8-stimulated cells accumulated to higher numbers and were more cytotoxic. We, therefore, conclude that TCR recognition of weakly binding peptides during priming can skew the effector function of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells. Altered binding of tumor antigenic peptides to MHC class I affects CD8 T cell effector responses.,Clancy-Thompson E, Devlin CA, Tyler PM, Servos MM, Ali LR, Ventre KS, Bhuiyan MA, Bruck PT, Birnbaum M, Dougan SK Cancer Immunol Res. 2018 Oct 23. pii: 2326-6066.CIR-18-0348. doi:, 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-18-0348.
