Gene Description

CD14 is a leucine-rich-repeat glycoprotein expressed mainly by monocytes and macrophages (weakly by granulocytes). It exists as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, concentrated in lipid rafts, and as a soluble form in plasma and other body fluids produced by release of the anchored protein or secretion of an anchor-less form. Its bent LRR solenoid carries an amino-terminal hydrophobic pocket that binds acylated microbial molecules. CD14 accepts monomeric bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from LPS-binding protein (LBP) and transfers it to the TLR4-MD-2 complex, forming with TLR4 and MD-2 the LPS receptor complex; it similarly delivers di- and triacylated lipopeptides to TLR2-TLR6 and TLR2-TLR1 heterodimers and binds lipoteichoic acid and peptidoglycan. Because it lacks a transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain, CD14 does not itself transmit signals across the membrane, but it greatly sensitises cells to low ligand concentrations. Membrane CD14 is also required for LPS-induced TLR4 dimerization and for Syk/PLCgamma2-dependent endocytosis of TLR4, which enables TRIF-dependent interferon production from endosomes. Soluble CD14 confers LPS responsiveness on CD14-negative cells such as epithelial and endothelial cells. CD14 also binds apoptotic cells and mediates their recognition and clearance by macrophages without triggering inflammation. Mice lacking CD14 are resistant to endotoxic shock.

GO:0001530 lipopolysaccharide binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CD14 binds monomeric LPS (1-2 molecules per CD14) in an N-terminal hydrophobic pocket; LPS is loaded onto CD14 by LBP.
Reason: Direct LPS binding by soluble and membrane CD14 is one of the best-established biochemical properties of the protein (sucrose gradient binding, cross-linking, crystal structure of the ligand pocket) and is the basis of its carrier function. The IBA and IDA rows agree.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Traceable-author statement from a paper on the structure of LBP; LBP-LPS complexes bind monocytes.
Reason: The cited abstract concerns LBP and does not name CD14. CD14 does bind LBP-LPS complexes, but the opsonin receptor term requires transmitting a signal across the membrane, which GPI-anchored CD14 cannot do on its own. Its activity toward LBP-loaded ligands is better captured by LPS binding and molecular carrier activity.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:2402637
LBP may control the response to LPS under physiologic conditions by forming high-affinity complexes with LPS that bind to monocytes and macrophages, which then secrete tumor necrosis factor

MODIFY
Summary: CD14 binds LPS and is part of the LPS receptor complex, but it is GPI-anchored and hands LPS on to TLR4-MD-2, which transmits the signal across the membrane.
Reason: GO:0001875 is defined as combining with LPS and transmitting the signal across the cell membrane. CD14 has no transmembrane or cytoplasmic domain and its LPS-specific role is ligand extraction and transfer to TLR4-MD-2, after which the signal-transducing receptor is TLR4 (with MD-2). The cited abstract (about LBP and lipopeptides) supports CD14 as a ligand acceptor in receptor complexes. The curator-built GO-CAMs represent this activity of CD14 as molecular carrier activity; the LPS-binding aspect is captured by GO:0001530. The evidence is not disputed, only the term: replace with molecular carrier activity.
Proposed replacements: molecular carrier activity

MODIFY
Summary: Human CD14 expressed in 70Z/3 cells conferred responsiveness to peptidoglycan, and anti-CD14 blocked the response.
Reason: The term note restricts GO:0016019 to proteins with receptor activity and recommends peptidoglycan binding otherwise. CD14 is GPI-anchored and acts by presenting ligands to transmembrane signalling receptors; the paper shows CD14-dependent responsiveness, consistent with CD14 binding peptidoglycan, not with CD14 transducing the signal itself.
Proposed replacements: peptidoglycan binding

ACCEPT
Summary: CD14 extracts LPS from LBP and delivers it to TLR4-MD-2, and membrane CD14 is required for TLR4 dimerization and endocytosis; it is a component of the TLR4 signalling pathway.
Reason: CD14 performs a step of the pathway (ligand transfer to the receptor), passing the participation test, and appears as the carrier node in the TLR4 GO-CAM. The IBA and IDA rows agree.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:27986454
LPS transfer to TLR4-MD2 is catalyzed by both LPS binding protein (LBP) and CD14

Summary: Positive regulation of TLR4 signalling, transferred from mouse Cd14.
Reason: CD14 increases TLR4 responses (dimerization, endocytosis, low-dose sensitivity), but it performs the ligand-transfer step and is therefore primarily a participant (GO:0034142); the regulation term is redundant rather than wrong.

GO:0046696 lipopolysaccharide receptor complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CD14 is one of the three proteins of the LPS receptor complex with TLR4 and MD-2.
Reason: The GO term definition names CD14; LPS cross-links to TLR4 and MD-2 only when CD14 is present, and the complex is the unit that recognises LPS at the cell surface. CD14 membership may be transient (it hands LPS to TLR4-MD-2), which the complex term accommodates.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11274165
LPS is cross-linked specifically to TLR4 and MD-2 only when co-expressed with CD14

Core Functions

Binds monomeric LPS and other acylated microbial ligands (lipopeptides, lipoteichoic acid) handed on by LBP and carries them to the TLR4-MD-2 complex or TLR2 heterodimers, acting as the ligand-delivery component of the LPS receptor complex at the cell surface and, as soluble CD14, in extracellular fluid.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:27986454
    LPS transfer to TLR4-MD2 is catalyzed by both LPS binding protein (LBP) and CD14
  • PMID:27986454
    Subsequently, the single LPS molecule bound to CD14 was transferred to TLR4-MD2 in a TLR4-dependent manner
  • PMID:23430250
    either LBP or sCD14 can drive ternary complex formation and TLR activation by acting as mobile carriers of triacylated lipopeptides or lipoproteins
  • PMID:23264655
    CD14 physically delivers these lipidated microbial products to various TLR signaling complexes that subsequently induce intracellular proinflammatory signaling cascades upon ligand binding
  • file:human/CD14/CD14-deep-research-falcon.md
    The primary molecular function of CD14 is to serve as a co-receptor that captures, concentrates, and transfers pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to downstream signaling receptors

Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide directly through the amino-terminal hydrophobic pocket of its LRR solenoid.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:7537731
    Complexes of LPS with sCD14 do not form large aggregates, consisting of only 1-2 LPS bound to a single sCD14 even at high multiples of LPS to sCD14
  • PMID:23264655
    The structure reveals a bent solenoid typical of leucine-rich repeat proteins with an amino-terminal pocket that presumably binds acylated ligands including LPS
  • PMID:11274165
    LPS is cross-linked specifically to TLR4 and MD-2 only when co-expressed with CD14

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Membrane CD14 drives Syk/PLCgamma2-dependent TLR4 endocytosis independently of its ligand-transfer role. Should this be captured as coreceptor activity (GO:0015026) in addition to molecular carrier activity, and is the endocytosis role conserved in human monocytes as it is in mouse dendritic cells and macrophages?

Q: GO:0001875 lipopolysaccharide immune receptor activity is propagated from human CD14 to mouse Cd14 by ISO/IEA. If the human annotation is replaced by molecular carrier activity, should the propagated rows follow, and should GO:0001875 be reserved for the TLR4-MD-2 signalling unit?

Q: How much of the CD14 dependence of TLR2 lipopeptide and peptidoglycan responses reflects ligand carriage versus contaminating lipoproteins in peptidoglycan preparations?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare TLR4 endocytosis and TRIF-dependent IFN-beta output in CD14-knockout human monocyte-derived macrophages reconstituted with wild-type CD14, a pocket mutant unable to bind LPS, or a transmembrane-anchored CD14 lacking the GPI signal.

Hypothesis: CD14 drives TLR4 endocytosis through its GPI anchor and raft partitioning, separable from its LPS-carrier activity.

Type: genetic complementation with functional readouts

Experiment: Single-molecule reconstitution of lipopeptide transfer from LBP to CD14 to TLR2-TLR1 and TLR2-TLR6, measuring whether CD14 dissociates after transfer as it does for LPS and TLR4-MD-2.

Hypothesis: CD14 acts as a transient carrier for all acylated ligands rather than a stable receptor subunit.

Type: in vitro reconstitution / single-molecule biophysics
