Regulation of C-Type Lectin Receptor-Mediated Antifungal Immunity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of all the pathogen recognition receptor families, C-type lectin receptor (CLR)-induced intracellular signal cascades are indispensable for the initiation and regulation of antifungal immunity. Ongoing experiments over the last decade have elicited diverse CLR functions and novel regulatory mechanisms of CLR-mediated-signaling pathways. In this review, we highlight novel insights in antifungal innate and adaptive-protective immunity mediated by CLRs and discuss the potential therapeutic strategies against fungal infection based on targeting the mediators in the host immune system.

E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b negatively regulates C-type lectin receptor–mediated antifungal innate immunity
Activation of various C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) initiates potent proinflammatory responses against various microbial infections. However, how activated CLRs are negatively regulated remains unknown. In this study, we report that activation of CLRs Dectin-2 and Dectin-3 by fungi infections triggers them for ubiquitination and degradation in a Syk-dependent manner. Furthermore, we found that...
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 کاملMechanistic Insights into the Role of C-Type Lectin Receptor/CARD9 Signaling in Human Antifungal Immunity
Human CARD9 deficiency is an autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by biallelic mutations in the gene CARD9, which encodes a signaling protein that is found downstream of many C-type lectin receptors (CLRs). CLRs encompass a large family of innate recognition receptors, expressed predominantly by myeloid and epithelial cells, which bind fungal carbohydrates and initiate a...
متن کاملReview of NKG2D function and its related ligands: review article
The natural killer group 2D (NKG2D) is a transmembrane protein and a member of the CD94/NKG2 family of C-type lectin-like receptors. NKG2D is encoded by the KLRK1 gene, which is located in the NK-gene complex (NKC) placed on chromosomes 6 and 12 in mice and humans, respectively. NKG2D forms a homodimer structure and binds through ectodomains with its related ligands. Each of its monomers consis...
متن کاملThe C-Type Lectin Receptor MCL Mediates Vaccine-Induced Immunity against Infection with Blastomyces dermatitidis.
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are essential in shaping the immune response to fungal pathogens. Vaccine-induced resistance requires Dectin-2 to promote differentiation of antifungal Th1 and Th17 cells. Since Dectin-2 and MCL heterodimerize and both CLRs use FcRγ as the signaling adaptor, we investigated the role of MCL in vaccine immunity to the fungal pathogen Blastomyces dermatitidis. MCL(-/...
