The Evolution of the Scavenger Receptor Cysteine-Rich Domain of the Class A Scavenger Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 The class A Scavenger Receptor (cA-SR) family is a group of five evolutionarily related innate immune receptors. The cA-SRs are known for their promiscuous ligand binding; as they have been shown to bind bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, and ...

Scavenger receptor-BI is a receptor for lipoprotein(a) [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) is a multi-ligand receptor that binds a variety of lipoproteins, including high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), but lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has not been investigated as a possible ...

The evolution of the class A scavenger receptors [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background The class A scavenger receptors are a subclass of a diverse family of proteins defined based on their ability to bind modified lipoproteins. The 5 members of this family are strikingly variable in their protein structure and function, raising ...

Toll-like receptor 4 and macrophage scavenger receptor 1 crosstalk regulates phagocytosis of a fungal pathogen [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 The opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes lethal infections in immunocompromised patients. Macrophages are central to the host response to cryptococci; however, it is unclear how C.

Deletion of the murine scavenger receptor CD68[S] [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011 Scavenger receptors (ScRs) are a structurally unrelated family of receptors with the ability to bind modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) as well as a broad range of polyanionic ligands.

Scavenger Receptor C1 Mediates Toxicity of Binary Toxin from Lysinibacillus sphaericus to Ag55 Cells [PDF]
ToxinsLysinibacillus sphaericus harboring Binary (BinA and BinB) toxins is highly toxic against Anopheles and Culex mosquito larvae. The Anopheles Ag55 cell line is a suitable model for investigating the mode of Bin toxin action.

Class B scavenger receptor resists WSSV replication by recognizing the viral lipid molecule and promoting phagocytosis [PDF]
Journal of VirologyClass B scavenger receptors (SRBs) have been well-studied in bacteria-induced immune responses in invertebrates. However, the status of SRB-defending viruses remains unclear.

Current Biology, 2020 Scavenger receptors (SRs) are a large family of cell-surface receptors that are diverse in their structure and biological function and are divided into different classes. SRs can bind to a range of ligands and enhance the elimination of altered-self or non-self targets.
