Can Plant Lectins Help to Elucidate Insect Lectin-Mediated Immune Response?

Insects, 2021
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that recognize and selectively bind to specific sugar structures. This group of proteins is widespread in plants, animals, and microorganisms, and exerts a broad range of functions.

Syk-coupled C-type lectins in immunity

Trends in Immunology, 2011
The Syk-coupled C-type lectin receptor Dectin-1 was the first non-Toll like receptor described that could mediate its own intracellular signalling. It was initially identified as important for the innate recognition of and response to fungal pathogens but later studies revealed that it is also involved in triggering adaptive immune responses.

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 distribution of lectins across the phylum Nematoda : a genome-wide search [PDF]

, 2017
Nematodes are a very diverse phylum that has adapted to nearly every ecosystem. They have developed specialized lifestyles, dividing the phylum into free-living, animal, and plant parasitic species. Their sheer abundance in numbers and presence in nearly

Expression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR on human sinusoidal endothelium: a role for capturing hepatitis C virus particles. [PDF]

, 2006
Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells are unique among endothelial cells in their ability to internalize and process a diverse range of antigens. DC-SIGNR, a type 2 C-type lectin expressed on liver sinusoids, has been shown to bind with high affinity to ...

C-type lectins and phagocytosis

Immunobiology, 2009
To recognise and respond to pathogens, germ-line encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) bind to conserved microbial structures and activate host defence systems, including microbial uptake by phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a complex process that is instrumental in the control of extracellular pathogens, and this activity is mediated by several ...

Evolution and Immune Function of Fish Lectins [PDF]

, 2016
Lectins are sugar-binding proteins widely distributed among animals, plants, and microbial taxon, involved in diverse biological processes. In both invertebrates and vertebrates, they play key roles in nonself recognition and immune responses, such as ...

Lectin receptors expressed on myeloid cells [PDF]

, 2016
Lectins recognize a diverse array of carbohydrate structures and perform numerous essential biological functions. Here we focus on only two families of lectins, the Siglecs and C-type lectins.

Functional characterisation and comparative analysis of two C-type lectins with different key motifs from mud crab

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
C-type lectins are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) involved in innate immunity. They possess one or more carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) belonging to Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate binding proteins.
