Recognition of non-self-polysaccharides by C-type lectin receptors dectin-1 and dectin-2.
The discovery of several transmembrane receptors expressed by antigen presenting cells, including those that detect and interact with specific sugar moieties on the surface of microbes, has improved our understanding of how immunity against infection is generated. This knowledge, in turn, prompted us to review such interactions with emphasis on C-type lectin receptors and a focus on the roles o...
متن کاملThe Syk-Coupled C-Type Lectin Receptors Dectin-2 and Dectin-3 Are Involved in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Recognition by Human Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which have been extensively studied in the context of the immune response to viruses, have recently been implicated in host defense mechanisms against fungal infections. Nevertheless, the involvement of human pDCs during paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a fungal infection endemic to Latin America, has been scarcely studied. However, pDCs were found in the cutan...
متن کاملC-Type Lectin-Like Receptors of the Dectin-1 Cluster: Ligands and Signaling Pathways
Innate immunity is constructed around genetically encoded receptors that survey the intracellular and extracellular environments for signs of invading microorganisms. These receptors recognise the invader and through complex intracellular networks of molecular signaling, they destroy the threat whilst instructing effective adaptive immune responses. Many of these receptors, like the Toll-like r...
متن کاملThe Dectin-2 family of C-type lectin-like receptors: an update
Myeloid and non-myeloid cells express members of the C-type lectin-like receptor (CTLR) family, which mediate crucial cellular functions during immunity and homeostasis. Of relevance here is the dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin-2 (Dectin-2) family of CTLRs, which includes blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA-2), dendritic cell immunoactivating receptor (DCAR), dendritic cell immunorecept...
متن کاملThe fungal pattern recognition receptor, Dectin-1, and the associated cluster of C-type lectin-like receptors
The mammalian natural killer gene complex (NKC) contains several families of type II transmembrane C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) that are best known for their involvement in the detection of virally infected or transformed cells, through the recognition of endogenous (or self) proteinacious ligands. However, certain CLR families within the NKC, particularly those expressed by myeloid cell...
