C-Type Lectins from Marine Bivalves: Functional Diversity and Structural Insights

Marine Drugs
C-type lectins (CTLs) are a large family of calcium-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins that play crucial roles in innate immunity as pattern recognition receptors.

Crotacetin, a novel snake venom C-type lectin, is homolog of convulxin

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2005
Snake venom (sv) C-type lectins encompass a group of hemorrhagic toxins, which are able to interfere with hemostasis. They share significant similarity in their primary structures with C-type lectins of other animals, and also present a conserved ...

An evolutionary perspective on C-type lectins in infection and immunity

, 2012
Host-pathogen interactions have coevolved formany years. On the one hand, the human immune system consists of innate and adaptive immune cells that function to defeat pathogens, and on the other hand, pathogens have coevolved to use the system for their ...

A newly identified three-domain C-type lectin associated with blood feeding in the tick Ixodes ricinus

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ixodes ricinus ticks are widely distributed throughout Europe and represent major vectors of tick-borne encephalitis virus and the Lyme borreliosis agent Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.

Characterization of C-type lectins reveals an unexpectedly limited interaction between Cryptococcus neoformans spores and Dectin-1.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Phagocytosis by innate immune cells is an important process for protection against multiple pathologies and is particularly important for resistance to infection.

Interaction of the capsular polysaccharide A from Bacteroides fragilis with DC-SIGN on human dendritic cells is necessary for its processing and presentation to T cells.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
The zwitterionic capsular polysaccharide A (PSA) of Bacteroides fragilis is the first carbohydrate antigen described to be presented in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II for the induction of CD4+ T cell responses.

Two C-type lectins from shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei that might be involved in immune response against bacteria and virus

, 2012
C-type lectins play crucial roles in innate immunity to recognize and eliminate pathogens efficiently. In the present study, two C-type lectins from shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (designated as LvLectin-1 and LvLectin-2) were identified, and their ...

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]

, 1998
The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.
