Molecular basis of sugar recognition by collectin-K1 and the effects of mutations associated with 3MC syndrome [PDF]

, 2015
Background Collectin-K1 (CL-K1, or CL-11) is a multifunctional Ca2+-dependent lectin with roles in innate immunity, apoptosis and embryogenesis. It binds to carbohydrates on pathogens to activate the lectin pathway of complement and together with its ...

Comparative Genomics of Pinna rudis and Pinna nobilis Reveals Conserved and Divergent Features of the Bivalve Defensome

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We present the first high‐quality annotated genome of Pinna rudis and an updated genome assembly for Pinna nobilis, two Mediterranean fan mussel species differentially affected by mass mortality events. Comparative genomic analyses of gene sets associated with the “defensome” show that these genes are largely functionally conserved between the two ...

Pulmonary collectins in innate immunity of the lung [PDF]

Cellular Microbiology, 2007
Pulmonary collectins, hydrophilic surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D), have been implicated in the regulation of pulmonary host defence and inflammation. SP-A and SP-D directly interact with a variety of microorganisms including bacteria and viruses, and attenuate the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, Histoplasma capsulatum and Mycoplasma ...

Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 1335-1341, March 2026.
Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.

Plasma Proteome Profiling of Centenarian Across Switzerland Reveals Key Youth‐Associated Proteins

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
We characterized the plasma proteomic profiles of centenarians from the SWISS100 cohort, identifying 583 differentially expressed proteins compared to younger and geriatric groups. Cross‐validation with the independent datasets NECS and the TAME consortium confirmed a robust aging signature, while fractional polynomial regressions revealed a specific ...

Membrane Interactome of a Recombinant Fragment of Human Surfactant Protein D Reveals GRP78 as a Novel Binding Partner in PC3, a Metastatic Prostate Cancer Cell Line

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Surfactant protein-D (SP-D), a member of the collectin family has been shown to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. SP-D is composed of an N-terminal collagen-like domain and a calcium-dependent carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD).

CLEC18A interacts with sulfated glycosaminoglycans and controls clear cell renal cell carcinoma progression

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 3, Page 709-728, February 2026.
CLEC18A is a previously poorly characterized C‐type lectin. We mapped the expression of CLEC18A to the proximal tubule of the kidney and found CLEC18A to interact with sulfated glycosaminoglycans on proteoglycans. Furthermore, we found that CLEC18A plays an important role in hindering the progression of clear cell renal cell carcinomas in humans and in

Biomarkers of Tuberculosis Severity and Treatment Effect: A Directed Screen of 70 Host Markers in a Randomized Clinical Trial. [PDF]

, 2017
More efficacious treatment regimens are needed for tuberculosis, however, drug development is impeded by a lack of reliable biomarkers of disease severity and of treatment effect. We conducted a directed screen of host biomarkers in participants enrolled
