The plasminogen binding site of the C-type lectin tetranectin is located in the carbohydrate recognition domain, and binding is sensitive to both calcium and lysine.
Tetranectin, a homotrimeric protein belonging to the family of C-type lectins and structurally highly related to corresponding regions of the mannose-binding proteins, is known specifically to bind the plasminogen kringle 4 protein domain, an interaction sensitive to lysine. Surface plasmon resonance and isothermal calorimetry binding analyses using single-residue and deletion mutant tetranecti...

Background: Interleukin8 (IL-8) realized from keratinocytes in the presence of dermatophytic antigens causesinduction of acute responses in dermatophyte infection and subsequently production of acute phaseproteins occurs in hepatocytes. C–reactive protein (CRP) and Mannose–binding lectin (MBL) areacute phase proteins. Since few researches in the case of acute phase proteins in dermatophyticinfe...
متن کاملTherapeutic Discovery Targeting TRAILDeathReceptor 4with Trivalent DR4Atrimer Complexes
TRAIL is a trimeric protein that potently induces apoptosis in cancer cells by binding to the trimeric death receptors (DR4 or DR5). Death receptors are attractive therapeutic targets through both the recombinant TRAIL ligand as well as receptor agonist monoclonal antibodies. Although efficacy of the ligand is hampered by its short half-life, agonistic antibodies have a much longer half-life an...
متن کاملCharacterization of Multisugar-Binding C-Type Lectin (SpliLec) from a Bacterial-Challenged Cotton Leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis
BACKGROUND Various proteins that display carbohydrate-binding activity in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner are classified into the C-type lectin family. They have one or two C-type carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) composed of 110-130 amino acid residues in common. C-type lectins mediate cell adhesion, non-self recognition, and immuno-protection processes in immune responses and thus play signif...
