The C‐type lectin superfamily in the immune system
Immunological Reviews, 1998Summary: Protein‐carbohydrate interactions serve multiple functions in the immune system. Many animal lectins (sugar‐binding proteins) mediate both pathogen recognition and cell‐cell interactions using structurally related Ca2+‐dependent carbohydrate‐recognition domains (C‐type CRDs).

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 ...

Insect C-type lectins in innate immunity
Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2018C-type lectins (CTLs) are a family of proteins that contain characteristic modules of carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) and they possess the binding activity to ligands in a calcium-dependent manner. CTLs play important roles in animal immune responses, and in insects, they are involved in opsonization, nodule formation, agglutination ...

Role of C-Type Lectins in Mycobacterial Infections
Current Drug Targets, 2008Worldwide clinical cases due to multi drug- and extensively drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) are increasing making the need for new therapies more critical than ever. A major obstacle for designing new drugs to treat mycobacterial infections is our limited knowledge of the interface between the bacillus (especially M.tb) and ...

C-Type Lectin Family: Overview [PDF]
, 2014 Members of the C-type lectin family of glycan-binding receptors in animals contain modular carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) that form a subset of a larger structural class of protein modules designated C-type lectin-like domains. Two broad categories of C-type CRDs bind either mannose and related sugars or galactose and related sugars at the Ca ...

A Family of C-Type Lectins in Manduca sexta
2001Insects have a rapid and effective immune system against microbial infections (Gillespie et al., 1997) that shares common characteristics with the innate immune system of vertebrates. It also consists of humoral and cellular responses. In the cellular responses such as phagocytosis, nodule formation and encapsulation, hemocytes play important roles. In

Emerging Groups of C-Type Lectins [PDF]
, 2012 Layilin, a ~55-kDa lectin, is a widely expressed integral membrane hyaluronan receptor, originally identified as a binding partner of talin located in membrane ruffles. It is recruited to membrane ruffles in cells induced to migrate in in vitro wounding experiments and in peripheral ruffles in spreading cells.

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 ...
