Dectin-1 and Dectin-2 in innate immunity against fungi.
Dectin-1 and Dectin-2 are type II transmembrane proteins of the C-type lectin family with single carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) in their extracellular region. They are expressed mainly in dendritic cells and macrophages. Dectin-1 recognizes β-glucans with its CRD and transduces signals through its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-like motif in the cytoplasmic domai...
متن کاملMast cells Dectin-1 in innate anti-fungal immunity
Dectin-1 recognizes β-glucan and plays important roles for the anti-fungal immunity through the activation of Syk in dendritic cells (DCs) or macrophages. Recently, expression of Dectin-1 was also identified in human and mouse mast cells, although its physiological roles were largely unknown. In this report, rat mast cell line RBL-2H3 was analyzed to investigate the molecular mechanism of Decti...
متن کاملDectin-1 and its role in antifungal immunity.
The innate recognition of fungal pathogens is mediated by a variety of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), although much interest has focussed on the Toll-like Receptors (TLR). More recently, however, there is growing appreciation that the non-TLRs have a major role in the control of infection with these organisms. One such molecule is Dectin-1, a C-type lectin-like receptor which induces num...
متن کاملSelective C-Rel Activation via Malt1 Controls Anti-Fungal TH-17 Immunity by Dectin-1 and Dectin-2
C-type lectins dectin-1 and dectin-2 on dendritic cells elicit protective immunity against fungal infections through induction of T(H)1 and T(H)-17 cellular responses. Fungal recognition by dectin-1 on human dendritic cells engages the CARD9-Bcl10-Malt1 module to activate NF-κB. Here we demonstrate that Malt1 recruitment is pivotal to T(H)-17 immunity by selective activation of NF-κB subunit c-...
متن کاملDectin-1-Syk-CARD9 Signaling Pathway in TB Immunity
One of the first steps toward mounting an effective immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is recognition of the pathogen through pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) expressed by innate immune cells. Activation of the PRR Dectin-1 by an unknown mycobacterial ligand triggers an intracellular signaling cascade involving numerous proteins, including spleen tyrosine kinase, protein ki...
