CD38, a surface glycoprotein of unrestricted lineage, is an
ectoenzyme (adenosine diphosphate [ADP] ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase) that regulates cytoplasmic calcium. The molecule also performs as a receptor, modulating cell-cell interactions and delivering transmembrane signals, despite showing a structural ineptitude to the scope. CD38 ligation by agonistic monoclonal antibodies induced signals leading to activation of the lytic machinery
of natural killer (NK) cells from adults; similar signals could not be
reproduced in YT and NKL, 2 CD16 human NK-like lines. It
was hypothesized that CD38 establishes a functional cooperation with
professional signaling molecules of the NK cell surface. The present
work answers the question about the molecule exploited by CD38 for
signaling in NK cells, using as a model CD16 NK lines
genetically corrected for CD16 expression. Our results indicate that a
functional CD16 molecule is a necessary and sufficient requisite for
CD38 to control an activation pathway, which includes calcium fluxes,
tyrosine phosphorylation of ZAP70 and mitogen-activated protein kinase,
secretion of interferon- , and cytotoxic responses. Fluorescence
resonance energy transfer and cocapping experiments also showed a
surface proximity between CD38 and CD16. These results were confirmed
by using the NKL cell line, in which CD16+ and
CD16 variants were obtained without genetic manipulation.
Together, our findings show CD38 to be a unique receptor molecule that
cannot signal by itself but whose receptor function is rescued by
functional and physical associations with a professional signaling
structure that varies according to lineage and environment. This
molecule is CD16 in NK cells.
