Cell-surface protein YwfG of Lactococcus lactis binds to α-1,2-linked mannose

PLoS ONE, 2023
Lactococcus lactis strains are used as starter cultures in the production of fermented dairy and vegetable foods, but the species also occurs in other niches such as plant material. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis G50 (G50) is a plant-derived strain and

Mannose-binding lectin levels and major infections in a cohort of very long-term survivors after allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Haematologica, 2010
Background Life-threatening infections are a major cause of death after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Complement Mannose-binding lectin is a key component of innate immunity.

Isolation and partial characterisation of a novel lectin from Aegle marmelos fruit and its effect on adherence and invasion of Shigellae to HT29 cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Lectins are a class of ubiquitous proteins/glycoproteins that are abundantly found in nature. Lectins have unique carbohydrate binding property and hence have been exploited as drugs against various infectious diseases.

High glucose disrupts oligosaccharide recognition function via competitive inhibition : a potential mechanism for immune dysregulation in diabetes mellitus [PDF]

, 2011
Diabetic complications include infection and cardiovascular disease. Within the immune system, host-pathogen and regulatory host-host interactions operate through binding of oligosaccharides by C-type lectin.

Evaluation of the cytokine mannose-binding lectin as a mediator of periportal fibrosis progression in patients with schistosomiasis

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2015
INTRODUCTION : We hypothesized higher mannose-binding lectin level and classic factors (i.e., age, sex, alcohol consumption, exposure, and specific treatment) are associated with the severity of periportal fibrosis in schistosomiasis.

Engineering novel complement activity into a pulmonary surfactant protein [PDF]

, 2010
Complement neutralizes invading pathogens, stimulates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses, and targets non- or altered-self structures for clearance.

Evolution of the mannose-binding lectin gene in primates [PDF]

Genes & Immunity, 2004
The mannose-binding lectin MBL2 plays an important role in the innate immune system. It binds carbohydrates surface, acts as an opsonin and activates the complement system. With the aim of studying the evolution of the MBL2 gene in primates, we sequenced its coding region in 12 non-human primate species and compared them with the human sequence.

Convergent and divergent mechanisms of sugar recognition across kingdoms [PDF]

, 2014
Protein modules that bind specific oligosaccharides are found across all kingdoms of life from single-celled organisms to man. Different, overlapping and evolving designations for sugar-binding domains in proteins can sometimes obscure common features ...

Bone healing and Mannose-Binding Lectin

International Journal of Surgery, 2013
Non-union of a fracture is a phenomenon that may complicate bone healing. Consolidation of a fracture can be divided into three phases: inflammation, reconstruction, and remodeling. Both the complement system and the coagulation cascade interact at various steps throughout these phases. Several complement components are specifically associated with the
