Background
TIGIT (T cell Immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains; also Vstm3 and Vsig9) is a 30-34 kDa (in human) member of the CD28 family, Ig superfamily of molecules. It is expressed by NK cells and multiple subsets of mature T cells, and binds to PVR/CD155 and PVR2/CD112 that appear on dendritic cells (DC) and endothelium. Along with CD226, the TIGIT:CD226/DNAM1 and PVR:PVR2 pairings appear to form a network that parallels the well-characterized B7-1:B7-2 and CD28:CTLA4 system. Binding of TIGIT by DC induces DC IL-10 release and inhibits IL-12 production. Ligation of TIGIT on T cells dampens TCR-mediated activation, while NK cell TIGIT ligation blocks NK cell cytotoxicity. Mature mouse TIGIT is a type I transmembrane protein 215 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 116 aa extracellular region (aa 26-141) with a V-type Ig-like domain (aa 27-125), and a 79 aa cytoplasmic domain with one ITIM motif. There is one isoform variant that is quite unusual and shows an addition of nine amino acids spread over three insertion sites (SwissProt #:P86176). Mouse and human TIGIT are highly divergent, and over aa 26-143, mouse TIGIT shares only 68% aa sequence identity with human TIGIT.
