C-type lectin receptors in antifungal immunity
Trends in Microbiology, 2008Fungal infections represent a significant health burden, especially in immunocompromised individuals, yet many of the underlying immunological mechanisms involved in the recognition and control of these pathogens are unclear. The identification of the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has shed new insights on innate microbial recognition and the initiation of

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Antifungal Immunity
2020Most fungal species are harmless to humans and some exist as commensals on mucocutaneous surfaces. Yet many fungi are opportunistic pathogens, causing life-threatening invasive infections when the immune system becomes compromised. The fungal cell wall contains conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which allow the immune system to ...

C-type lectin receptors in anti-fungal immunity
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2017Host immune systems are constantly engaged with fungal pathogens which are common in environments as well as in healthy human skin and mucosa. C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are expressed in myeloid cells and play central roles in host defenses against fungal infections by coordinating innate and adaptive immune systems.

Signaling C-Type Lectin Receptors in Antifungal Immunity
2020We are all exposed to fungal organisms daily, and although many of these organisms are not harmful, billions of people a year contract a fungal infection. Most of these infections are not fatal and can be cleared by the host immune response. However, due to an increase in high-risk populations, the global fungal burden has increased, with more than 1.5

Self-referential immune recognition through C-type lectin receptors
2022The term "lectin" is derived from the Latin word lego- (aggregate) (Boyd & Shapleigh, 1954). Indeed, lectins' folds can flexibly alter their pocket structures just like Lego blocks, which enables them to grab a wide-variety of substances. Thus, this useful fold is well-conserved among various organisms.

The CD94/NKG2 C-Type Lectin Receptor Complex
1998A multigene family of human Ig-SF receptors and members of the murine Ly49 C-type lectin family are involved in natural killer (NK) cell-mediated recognition of MHC class I molecules. The human CD94 glycoprotein covalently assembles with different C-type lectins of the NKG2 family.

C-type lectin receptors in tuberculosis: what we know
Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 2016Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the etiologic agent of tuberculosis (TB), is recognized by a number of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), either soluble or predominantly expressed on the surface of various cells of innate and adaptive immunity.

C-type lectin receptors and cytokines in fungal immunity
Cytokine, 2012Fungi are the cause of opportunistic infections, predominantly in immunocompromised individuals although, primary fungal infections can occur in apparently healthy individuals. Successful host defence requires an effective innate and adaptive immune response.

Structural Aspects of C-Type Lectin Receptors
2016Numerous structural analyses (X-ray crystallography and NMR) of C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) have been performed, because CLRs are not only attractive as important molecules in immunity and infectious diseases but also as drug targets. In CLRs, high amino acid sequence similarity exists in the extracellular carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs ...

C-type Lectin Receptor: Old Friend and New Player
Medicinal Chemistry, 2017During the last two decades, C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) have been demonstrated to play key roles in initiating the host immune response against fungal infection. It is well established that CLRs, such as Dectin-1, Dectin-2, Dectin-3 and Mincle recognize the cell wall component from the infected microorganisms by using their carbohydrate recognition
