Arrow, the fly homolog of the LRPs, which are thought to be Wnt co-receptors in mammalian cells, is an obvious candidate for such an interactive protein.
18 mice, contrary to what was observed previously [ 15 ] . The high-level expression of hCARΔcyt by double-negative (CD4 -CD8 -) thymocytes rendered this population readily transducible, suggesting that these early thymocytes express sufficient integrin co-receptors (e.g.
[ 1 2 ] . They can act as co-receptors of growth/trophic and survival factors to regulate cell behavior and/or restrict diffusion and create a relatively high local concentration of ligand.
Another example of co-receptors with multiple functions is the leukotriene family member B4, which was down-regulated in Tat expressing cells (Acc# D89078, Table 1).
The cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT), LTC, LTD, and LTE, were first shown to be essential mediators in asthma [ 29 ] . However, when the mouse leukotriene B4 receptor (m-BLTR) gene, was cloned it was shown to have significant sequence homology with chemokine receptors (CCR5 and CXCR4), co-receptors for many different HIV-1 clades [ 30 ] . Along the same lines, when cells were infected with 10 primary clinical isolates of HIV-1, leukotriene B4 receptor was primarily utilized for efficient entry into cells which were mainly of the syncytium-inducing phenotype [ 31 ] . Therefore, up-regulation of neuropeptide Y-like receptor and down-regulation of leukotriene B4 receptor in Tat expressing cells indicates a selective advantage of one class of virus (CCR5) over another (CXCR4).
