The neck region of the C-type lectin DC-SIGN regulates its surface spatiotemporal organization and virus-binding capacity on antigen presenting cells [PDF]

, 2012
The C-type lectin DC-SIGN expressed on dendritic cells (DCs) facilitates capture and internalization of a plethora of different pathogens. Although it is known that DC-SIGN organizes in nanoclusters at the surface of DCs, the molecular mechanisms ...

High mannose-specific lectin Msl mediates key interactions of the vaginal Lactobacillus plantarum isolate CMPG5300 [PDF]

, 2016
To characterize the interaction potential of the human vaginal isolate Lactobacillus plantarum CMPG5300, its genome was mined for genes encoding lectin-like proteins.

Investigations on therapeutic glucocerebrosidases through paired detection with fluorescent activity-based probes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Deficiency of glucocerebrosidase (GBA) causes Gaucher disease (GD). In the common non-neuronopathic GD type I variant, glucosylceramide accumulates primarily in the lysosomes of visceral macrophages.

The salivary scavenger and agglutinin (SALSA) binds MBL and regulates the lectin pathway of complement in solution and on surfaces

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
The scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) protein SALSA, also known as gp340, salivary agglutinin (SAG) and deleted in malignant brain tumor 1 (DMBT1), is a 340 kDa glycoprotein expressed on mucosal surfaces and secreted into several body fluids. SALSA

High MBL-expressing genotypes are associated with deterioration in renal function in type 2 diabetes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionAccumulating evidence support that mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a promising prognostic biomarker for risk-stratification of diabetic micro- and macrovascular complications.

Serum MASP-1 in complex with MBL activates endothelial cells. [PDF]

, 2014
The complement system plays an important role in the induction of inflammation. In this study we demonstrate that the initiation complexes of the lectin pathway, consisting of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and associated serine proteases (MASPs) elicit ...

Hormonal regulation of mannan-binding lectin synthesis in hepatocytes [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2006
SummaryActivation of the complement system via the plasma protein mannan-binding lectin (MBL) provides a first line of defence against infections. The plasma level of MBL is, in part, determined genetically, but may also be influenced by different hormones in vivo.
