Human conglutinin-like protein.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence in human plasma of a molecule homologous to bovine conglutinin is indicated by the results of biological and immunochemical analysis. The human conglutinin-like protein shows calcium-dependent binding to complement-treated solid phase IgG and immunological cross-reaction with chicken anti-bovine conglutinin. The binding of the human protein to complement-treated IgG was inhibited by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine but not by other sugars. Analysis by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting showed reaction of anti-conglutinin with molecules of similar mobility to the monomer and hexamer of bovine conglutinin.

Structure of a truncated human surfactant protein D is less effective in agglutinating bacteria than the native structure and fails to inhibit haemagglutination by influenza A virus.
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a lung-specific protein that is synthesized and secreted by lung epithelial cells and is believed to play an important role in lung host defence. This protein belongs to the C-type lectin family, which is characterized by an N-terminal cysteine-rich domain, a collagen-like domain, a neck domain and a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). To elucidate the biologic...
متن کاملHuman leukocyte C1q receptor binds other soluble proteins with collagen domains
A receptor binding to the C1q subcomponent of complement has been reported by many workers. In this paper we report for the first time that C1q receptor binds not only to C1q, but also to three other structurally similar ligands, namely mannan binding protein (MBP), conglutinin, and lung surfactant protein (SP-A). All these ligands have been reported to enhance removal of species bound to their...
متن کاملHuman Leukocyte Clq Receptor Binds Other Soluble Proteins with Collagen Domains
ment protein Clq was first suggested in 1972 (1) . The ligand Clq has a complex structure made up of six globular regions, each attached to a short collagen triple helix (2) . Clq receptor (C1gR) binds to the collagenous region of C1q (3), but does not appear to be a general receptor for structural collagens (4) . C1gR is an acidic glycoprotein with 15-20% carbohydrate (4) . The detergent-solub...
متن کاملStudies on the Conglutination Reaction, with Special Reference to the Nature of Conglutinin
1. Dilution of pooled plasma with more than an equal volume of saline solution destroys its ability to produce conglutination of red cells sensitized by univalent antibody. This can be correlated with Pedersen's work showing that X-protein is readily dissociated by dilution. The observation explains the discrepancy between the reports of British and American workers regarding the incidence of R...
متن کاملConglutinin is not specific to cattle
Conglutinin is a high-molecular-weight mammalian lectin which binds in a calcium-dependent manner to cell-surface-bound complement fragment iC3b, yeast cell-wall extract and terminal non-reducing N-acetyl-dglucosamine, mannose and fucose residues. This protein, originally detected in bovine serum, belongs to the family of collectins, which are effector molecules in innate immunity. Conglutinin ...
