PDBsum structure summary

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA or BCM), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF17 gene.

Contents

TNFRSF17 is a cell surface receptor of the TNF receptor superfamily which recognizes B-cell activating factor (BAFF). [5] [6] [7]

Serum B-cell maturation antigen (sBCMA) is the cleaved form of BCMA, found at low levels in the serum of normal patients and generally elevated in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). [8]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is preferentially expressed in mature B lymphocytes, and may be important for B cell development and autoimmune response. This receptor has been shown to specifically bind to the tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13b (TNFSF13B/TALL-1/BAFF), and to lead to NF-kappaB and MAPK8/JNK activation. This receptor also binds to various TRAF family members, and thus may transduce signals for cell survival and proliferation. [7]

Interactions

TNFRSF17 has been shown to interact with the B-cell activating factor TNFSF13B. [9] [10] A conserved domain at the N-terminus, BCMA TALL-1 binding domain, is required for binding to the TNFSF13B. [9]

Clinical significance

TNFRSF17 is implicated in leukemia, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma [11] (see the "Mitelman Database" [12] and the Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, [13] ).

As a drug target

An antibody-drug conjugate Belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916) has been evaluated in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. [14] Belantamab mafodotin was approved in the United States in August 2020 for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior therapies. [15]

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have emerged as an important therapy for multiple myeloma after first reports in preclinical and phase I clinical studies. [16] [17] A Phase 1b/2 study of JNJ-4528, a CAR-T cell therapy directed against BCMA in myeloma patients refractory to a proteasome inhibitor or immunomodulatory drug, and who had received an anti-CD38 antibody has been completed. [18]

ALLO-715 is a CAR-T therapy by Allogene Therapeutics that targets B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). [19] As of June 2021, it is undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of multiple myeloma. [20] On 21 April 2021, the FDA granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy status to ALLO-715. [21] ALLO-715 is being investigated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Mayo Clinic [22] as part of the UNIVERSAL trial for multiple myeloma, on its own and in conjunction with the selective gamma secretase inhibitor nirogacestat. [20] [23]

In biology, chimeric antigen receptors (CARs)—also known as chimeric immunoreceptors, chimeric T cell receptors or artificial T cell receptors—are receptor proteins that have been engineered to give T cells the new ability to target a specific antigen. The receptors are chimeric in that they combine both antigen-binding and T cell activating functions into a single receptor.
