描述：
Fractalkine, designated CX3CL1 and also known as neurotactin, is the only member of the
CX3C, or delta, chemokine subfamily. Unlike most other chemokines, CX3CL1 is a type I
transmembrane (TM) adhesion protein. The mouse CX3CL1 cDNA encodes 395 amino acids
(aa), including a signal sequence (aa 1 - 24), a chemokine domain (aa 25 - 100), a mucin stalk
region (aa 101 - 336), a transmembrane segment (aa 337 - 357), and a cytoplasmic tail
(aa 358 - 395). The chemokine domain contains binding and chemotactic determinants,
while the mucin stalk appears to function only as a spacer. Mouse CX3CL1 shares 85% and 78%
aa sequence identity with rat and human CX3CL1, respectively, within the chemokine domain,
but lower sequence identity within other domains. CX3CL1 is up-regulated by pro-inflammatory
stimuli, especially IFN-γ and TNF-α, on cell types including macrophages, dendritic cells,
endothelium, neurons, smooth muscle and epithelium lining the intestines and other tubules.
The 40 kDa, 7-TM non-glycosylated G-protein coupled CX3CL1 receptor, CX3CR1, is expressed
by cytotoxic effector cells and cytokine producers, including type I helper and cytotoxic T cells,
γδ T cells, CD16+ NK cells, monocytes and microglia. The 95 -100 kDa TM CX3CL1 can be
inducibly cleaved near the TM segment by ADAM10 or ADAM17 to generate a 60 -80 kDa
soluble form. TM CX3CL1 functions as an adhesion molecule, while both forms are
chemoattractants for target cells expressing CX3CR1. During extravasation, membrane-bound
CX3CL1 traps leukocytes, then is cleaved to allow diapedesis. In coronary artery disease,
soluble CX3CL1 and CD8+ T cell CX3CR1 are overexpressed and appear to contribute to
pathogenesis. In the brain, CX3CL1/CX3CR1 interaction protects against microglial neurotoxicity.
CX3CL1 also contributes to wound healing by recruitingmacrophages, and to bone resorption
by recruiting and mediating adhesion of osteoclast precursors.
