Abstract excerpt
Fractalkine is a unique CX(3)C chemokine/mucin hybrid molecule that functions like selectins in inducing the capture of receptor-expressing cells. Because of the importance of tyrosine sulfation for ligand binding of the selectin ligand PSGL1, we tested the role of tyrosine sulfation for CX(3)CR1 function in cell adhesion. Tyrosine residues 14 and 22 in the N terminus of CX(3)CR1 were mutated to phenylalanine and...
