Surfactant protein D is a divalent cation-dependent carbohydrate-binding protein.
Surfactant protein D (SP-D, CP4) is a collagenous surfactant-associated glycoprotein synthesized by lung type II epithelial cells. SP-D can be selectively and efficiently eluted from isolated rat surfactant with glucose, maltose, and certain other saccharides. We therefore examined the ability of the purified protein to interact with carbohydrates in vitro. Saccharide-substituted bovine serum a...

Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a collagenous glycoprotein that is secreted into the pulmonary airspaces by alveolar type II and nonciliated bronchiolar cells. SP-D exhibits Ca"+-dependent carbohydrate binding in vitro and is structurally related to the collagenous C-type lectins, including serum conglutinin, serum mannose-binding proteins, and surfactant protein A. Preliminary studies showed ca...
متن کاملDivalent cation binding properties of bovine brain Ca2+-dependent regulator protein.
The divalent cation binding properties of a protein which functions as a Ca2+-dependent regulator (CDR) of brain cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase activities have been examined by equilibrium dialysis and circular dichroic spectrophotometry. The far-ultraviolet circular dichroic spectrum is characterized by negative maxima at 207 and 222 nm. Changes in the far-ultraviole...
متن کاملSurfactant protein D is proatherogenic in mice.
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is an important innate immune defense molecule that mediates clearance of pathogens and modulates the inflammatory response. Moreover, SP-D is involved in lipid homeostasis, and pulmonary accumulation of phospholipids has previously been observed in SP-D-deficient (Spd-/-) mice. Atherogenesis involves both inflammation and lipid deposition, and we investigated the ro...
متن کاملDNA-dependent divalent cation binding in the nucleosome core particle.
Sequence-specific binding of divalent cations to nucleosomal DNA can potentially influence nucleosome position and mobility, as well as modulate interactions with nuclear factors. We define the bonding and specificity of divalent cation interaction with nucleosomal DNA by characterizing Mn2+ binding in the x-ray structure of the nucleosome core particle at 1.9-A resolution. Manganese ions are f...
