Crystal structures of human SP-D complexed with synthetic oligosaccharides suggest a role for phosphorylated inner core LPS saccharides in host-pathogen interactions (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper
Williams, H. M., Watson, A., Madsen, J., Clark, H. W., Hood, D. W., Oscarson, S., Greenhough, T. J., & Shrive, A. K. (2025). Crystal structures of human SP-D complexed with synthetic oligosaccharides suggest a role for phosphorylated inner core LPS saccharides in host-pathogen interactions

The innate immune protein human surfactant protein D (SP-D) recognises pathogens in the lungs via binding to carbohydrate surface structures. SP-D has been shown to target gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide via calcium-dependent binding, pref...

Fibrinogen C-domain containing-1 (FIBCD1) is an immune protein proposed to be involved in host recognition of chitin on the surface of pathogens. As FIBCD1 readily binds to acetylated molecules, we have determined the high-resolution crystal structur...

Human surfactant protein D is a collectin and member of the C-type lectin superfamily of proteins that forms an essential part of the mammalian innate immune system. The collectins have been recognised to not only bind to invading pathogens, allowing... Read More about Bacterial lipopolysaccharide recognition by surfactant protein D.
