Large granular lymphocyte (LGL) 1 is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on a subset (50%) of C57BL/6 natural killer (NK) cells. Immunoprecipitation experiments reveal that the LGL-1 protein exists as a disulfide-linked 40-kD homodimer. Functional studies of LGL-1+ cells indicate that selected H-2d target cells are not lysed efficiently by these interleukin (IL)-2-cultured NK cells. These findings suggested that LGL-1 may be a member of the Ly-49 gene family. Here we report the molecular cloning of the LGL-1 cDNA from a severe combined immunodeficient-adherent lymphokine-activated killer cell library transfected into Cos-7 cells and find LGL-1 to be homologous to the Ly- 49 gene at both the nucleotide (85%) and amino acid levels (73%). Sequencing of our LGL-1 cDNA has revealed it to be nearly identical to the Ly-49G2 cDNA recently isolated by cross-hybridization with an Ly-49 probe. LGL-1 represents a type II transmembrane protein of 267 amino acids with its carboxyl end exposed extracellularly. The LGL-1 protein contains 11 highly conserved cysteine residues and a 25-amino acid transmembrane region. Southern blot analysis demonstrates that there are a number of homologous genes in mouse DNA that hybridize strongly to LGL-1. Northern analyses using poly A+ RNA from LGL-1+ NK cells indicate that LGL-1 is expressed as a 1.4 kb mRNA. Two-color flow cytometry analysis (FCA) of C57BL/6 splenic NK cells demonstrates that LGL-1 and Ly-49 label overlapping subsets of cells. FCA identifies four subsets of NK cells as defined by LGL-1 versus Ly-49 staining. We have sorted these individual subsets, expanded them in IL-2, and performed cytotoxicity experiments to determine their target cell profiles in relation to class I expression. Results of these studies are complex, but indicate that Ly-49 may not be the only molecule that recognizes class I as an inhibitory signal for cytotoxicity. LGL-1+ cells also fail to lyse several H-2d-expressing tumor targets and concanavalin A lymphoblasts from BALB/c but not C57BL/6 mice. This inhibition of lysis by LGL-1+ NK cells is negated by addition of monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4D11 that recognizes the LGL-1 protein. When mAbs to the class I molecules H-2Dd and H-2Ld (alpha 1 alpha 2 domains only) are added to cytotoxicity assays, LGL-1+ cells lyse H-2d targets very effectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
