It is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by profoundly low or absent serum antibodies and low or absent circulating B-cells due to an early block of B-cell development. Affected individuals develop severe infections in the first years of life. Function IGLL1_HUMAN Critical for B-cell development. Publication Abstract from PubMed During B cell differentiation in the bone marrow, the expression and activation of the pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) constitutes a crucial checkpoint for B cell development. Both constitutive and ligand-dependent pre-BCR activation modes have been described. The pre-BCR is constituted of an immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igmu) and of a surrogate light chain (SLC) composed of the invariant lambda5 and VpreB proteins. We previously showed that Galectin-1 (GAL1), produced by bone marrow stromal cells, is a pre-BCR ligand that induces receptor clustering, leading to efficient pre-BII cell proliferation and differentiation. GAL1 interacts with the pre-BCR via the unique region of lambda5 (lambda5-UR). Here we investigated the solution structure of a minimal lambda5-UR motif that interacts with GAL1. This motif adopts a stable helical conformation that docks onto a GAL1 hydrophobic surface adjacent to its carbohydrate-binding site (CBS). We identified key hydrophobic residues from the lambda5-UR as crucial for the interaction with GAL1 and for pre-BCR clustering. These residues involved in GAL1-induced pre-BCR activation are different to those essential for autonomous receptor activation. Overall, our results indicate that constitutive and ligand-induced pre-BCR activation could occur in a complementary manner.
