Key thermally dimorphic fungal pathogens: shaping host immunity

Open Biology, 2022
Exposure to fungal pathogens from the environment is inevitable and with the number of at-risk populations increasing, the prevalence of invasive fungal infection is on the rise. An interesting group of fungal organisms known as thermally dimorphic fungi

Information transfer in mammalian glycan-based communication

eLife, 2023
Glycan-binding proteins, so-called lectins, are exposed on mammalian cell surfaces and decipher the information encoded within glycans translating it into biochemical signal transduction pathways in the cell.

The diverse roles of C-type lectin-like receptors in immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Our understanding of the C-type lectin-like receptors (CTLRs) and their functions in immunity have continued to expand from their initial roles in pathogen recognition.

Targeting C-type Lectin Receptors for Cancer Immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a large family of soluble and trans-membrane pattern recognition receptors that are widely and primarily expressed on myeloid cells.

Lectin-dependent enhancement of Ebola virus infection via soluble and transmembrane C-type lectin receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a key soluble effector of the innate immune system that recognizes pathogen-specific surface glycans. Surprisingly, low-producing MBL genetic variants that may predispose children and immunocompromised individuals to ...

Computational and experimental prediction of human C-type lectin receptor druggability

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Mammalian C-type lectin receptors are involved in many aspects of immune cell regulation such as pathogen recognition, clearance of apoptotic bodies and lymphocyte homing.

Deletion of haematopoietic Dectin-2 or CARD9 does not protect from atherosclerosis development under hyperglycaemic conditions

Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research, 2020
Background: C-type lectin receptors, including Dectin-2, are pattern recognition receptors on monocytes and macrophages that mainly recognize sugars and sugar-like structures present on fungi.

Modulation of NK cell function by genetically coupled C-type lectin-like receptor/ligand pairs encoded in the human Natural Killer Gene Complex (NKC)

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
Functional responses of Natural Killer (NK) cells including eradication of ‘harmful’ cells and modulation of immune responses are regulated by a broad variety of activating and inhibitory NK receptors. Whereas the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) encodes

The Vi Capsular Polysaccharide of Salmonella Typhi Promotes Macrophage Phagocytosis by Binding the Human C-Type Lectin DC-SIGN

mBio, 2022
Capsular polysaccharides are common virulence factors of extracellular, but not intracellular bacterial pathogens, due to the antiphagocytic properties of these surface structures.

C-type lectin receptors in skin immunity: Emerging new role for CLEC12B

Advances in Biomedical and Health Sciences, 2022
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a superfamily of transmembrane proteins, which consist of one or several C-type lectin-like domains and intracellular signaling motifs, such as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) or immunoreceptor ...
