RESUMO

The mechanistic relationship between the signalling for the TNF effects by the human p55 TNF receptor (hu-p55-TNF-R) and the formation of a soluble form of the receptor, which is inhibitory to these effects, was explored by examining the function of C-terminally truncated mutants of the receptor, expressed in rodent cells. The 'wild-type' receptor signalled for a cytocidal effect when cross-linked with specific antibodies and exhibited spontaneous shedding. Shedding of the receptor was not affected by TNF but was markedly enhanced by 4 beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). Receptor mutants with 53%, 83% and 96% C-terminal deletions could not signal for the cytocidal effect. Furthermore, they were found to associate with the endogenous rodent receptors, interfering with their signalling. Yet even the deletion of 96% of the intracellular domain did not abolish shedding of the receptor in response to PMA. These findings suggest that signalling and shedding of the p55 TNF-R are mechanistically distinct.
