CXCR4 Target Analysis Report Summary
About the Target
Based on the provided context information, here are some key viewpoints on CXCR4:
WHIM mutations in CXCR4 result in a gain of G protein-dependent functions and stabilize the mutant receptor on the cell surface, leading to a gain-of-function [1].
CXCR4 has been targeted in the development of nanomedicines for cancer treatment [2].
The localization of CXCR4 on the plasma membrane affects its function, and cells with low plasma membrane CXCR4 expression show increased agonist-induced transcript levels of EGR1 [3]. This indicates that intracellular pools of CXCR4 are physiologically relevant and dependent on beta-arrestin-1.
A soluble presentation of SDF-1alpha molecules leads to transient signaling through CXCR4, while matrix-bound presentation of SDF-1alpha results in sustained and intensified signaling through CXCR4 and hyaluronan receptors, activating Rac1 and pERK [4].
Chemokine signals involving Sdf1 and Cxcr4 play a role in tissue regeneration, where Sdf1 recruits Cxcr4+ leukocytes to promote fibrosis and scar formation. Disruption of Sdf1-Cxcr4 signaling can enhance tissue repair [5].

Based on the provided context information, here are some key viewpoints regarding the protein CXCR4:
CXCR4 is recruited and accumulates at the immunological synapse (IS) during antigen recognition by CD4+ T cells [6].
During IS formation, CXCR4 redistributes to specific areas known as the pSMAC and dSMAC [6].
Drebrin, a protein associated with F-actin, is involved in the accumulation of CXCR4 at the IS [6].
Drebrin is also specifically enriched at the virological synapse (VS) formed during HIV-1 binding to CD4+ T cells, and it partially co-localizes with the internalized virus [6].
In the absence of CXCL12, a signaling molecule, LASP1 is phosphorylated and remains bound to CXCR4, while Ago2, another protein, uses Let-7a to repress motility-related targets [7].
When CXCR4 is stimulated with CXCL12, LASP1 undergoes dephosphorylation and phosphorylation at different sites, which alters the interaction between LASP1 and Ago2 and affects Let-7a driven RNA interference (RNAi) [7].
LASP1 can interfere with Let-7a driven RNAi by either binding to Let-7a-bound Ago2 and interfering with target binding or by binding to Ago2 and preventing Ago2 from binding to Let-7a [7].
Expression of Let-7a target genes, such as eIF4G2, vinculin, CCR7, and cyclin D1, can be altered in a LASP1-Ago2 interaction-dependent manner [7].
The profile of the endogenous targets Let-7a differed from the results of a luciferase reporter assay [7].
These viewpoints provide a comprehensive summary of the interactions and roles of CXCR4, drebrin, LASP1, and Let-7a in immune response and viral infection processes.
