NK cells recognize target cells through activating receptors, many of which rely on the transmembrane adaptors DAP10, DAP12 and FcR-gamma to deliver intracellular signals. Because these adaptors initiate distinct signaling pathways, they dictate the type of response mediated by receptor engagement. DAP10, for example, primarily triggers cytotoxicity, whereas DAP12 induces both cytotoxicity and IFN-gamma secretion. In mice, NKG2D signals through both DAP10 and DAP12, which broadens and modulates the type of response engendered by encounter with ligand. Although initial studies indicated that Ly49H and Ly49D recruit only DAP12, a recent report suggested that they also associate with DAP10. We asked whether this association occurs and is functionally significant under physiologic conditions. our data demonstrate that DAP10 does associate with Ly49H and Ly49D in primary NK cells. While this association contributes slightly to cell surface expression of both receptors, it has no significant impact on Ly49H-mediated control of murine cytomegalovirus infection. Thus, while many activating NK-cell receptors are promiscuous in terms of adaptor association, our data indicate that the functional consequences of such promiscuity may vary widely and may not be evident in all cases.
