PG - 1306292 LID - 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1306292 [doi] LID - 1306292 AB - Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs) are membrane-bound glycoproteins that bind to the fragment crystallizable (Fc) constant regions of IgG antibodies. Interactions between IgG immune complexes and FcgammaRs can initiate signal transduction that mediates important components of the immune response including activation of immune cells for clearance of opsonized pathogens or infected host cells. In humans, many studies have identified associations between FcgammaR gene polymorphisms and risk of infection, or progression of disease, suggesting a gene-level impact on FcgammaR-dependent immune responses. Rhesus macaques are an important translational model for most human health interventions, yet little is known about the breadth of rhesus macaque FcgammaR genetic diversity. This lack of knowledge prevents evaluation of the impact of FcgammaR polymorphisms on outcomes of preclinical studies performed in rhesus macaques. In this study we used long-read RNA sequencing to define the genetic diversity of FcgammaRs in 206 Indian-origin Rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta. We describe the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions, deletions, frame-shift mutations, and isoforms. We also index the identified diversity using predicted and known rhesus macaque FcgammaR and Fc-FcgammaR structures. Future studies that define the functional significance of this genetic diversity will facilitate a better understanding of the correlation between human and macaque FcgammaR biology that is needed for effective translation of studies with antibody-mediated outcomes performed in rhesus macaques.
