Protein names T-cell surface glycoprotein CD8 alpha chain (T-lymphocyte differentiation antigen T8/Leu-2) (CD antigen CD8a)
Gene names CD8A,CD8A MAL
Mass 25729Da
Function Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class I molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins while class II derived from extracellular proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class I proteins presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). This mechanism enables CTLs to recognize and eliminate infected cells and tumor cells. In NK-cells, the presence of CD8A homodimers at the cell surface provides a survival mechanism allowing conjugation and lysis of multiple target cells. CD8A homodimer molecules also promote the survival and differentiation of activated lymphocytes into memory CD8 T-cells.
Subellular location [Isoform 1]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=CD8A localizes to lipid rafts only when associated with its partner CD8B.; [Isoform 2]: Secreted .
Tissues CD8 on thymus-derived T-cells usually consists of a disulfide-linked alpha/CD8A and a beta/CD8B chain. Less frequently, CD8 can be expressed as a CD8A homodimer. A subset of natural killer cells, memory T-cells, intraepithelial lymphocytes, monocytes and dendritic cells expresses CD8A homodimers. Expressed at the cell surface of plasmacytoid dendritic cells upon herpes simplex virus-1 stimulation.
Structure Forms disulfide-linked heterodimers with CD8B at the cell surface. Forms also homodimers in several cell types including NK-cells or peripheral blood T-lymphocytes. Interacts with the MHC class I HLA-A/B2M dimer. One HLA-A molecule (mainly via nonpolymorphic alpha-3 domain) interacts with one CD8A homodimer (via CDR-like loop) (PubMed:2784196, PubMed:9177355). Interacts with LCK in a zinc-dependent manner. Interacts with HLA-G; this interaction is direct and might down-regulate T cell receptor signaling.
Post-translational modification Palmitoylated, but association with CD8B seems to be more important for the enrichment of CD8A in lipid rafts.; O-glycosylated.; Phosphorylated in cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) following activation.
