Crystal structures of human immune protein FIBCD1 suggest an extended binding site compatible with recognition of pathogen associated carbohydrate motifs (2023)
Journal Article

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...

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide recognition by surfactant protein D (2021)
Presentation / Conference

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.

Monomeric C-Reactive Protein in Serum With Markedly Elevated CRP Levels Shares Common Calcium-Dependent Ligand Binding Properties With an in vitro Dissociated Form of C-Reactive Protein (2020)
Journal Article

A monomeric form of C-reactive protein (CRP) which precipitates with cell wall pneumococcal C polysaccharide (CWPS) and retains the ability to reversibly bind to its ligand phosphocholine has been produced through urea-induced dissociation at an opti...

Atomic-resolution crystal structures of the immune protein conglutinin from cow reveal specific interactions of its binding site with N-acetylglucosamine. (2019)
Journal Article

Bovine conglutinin is an immune protein that is involved in host resistance to microbes and parasites and interacts with complement component iC3b, agglutinates erythrocytes, and neutralizes influenza A virus. Here, we determined the high-resolution...

Crystal structure of a complex of Surfactant Protein D and Haemophilus influenzae lipopolysaccharide reveals shielding of core structures in SP-D resistant strains (2016)
Journal Article

The carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) of lung collectin surfactant protein D (SP-D) recognize sugar patterns on the surface of lung pathogens and promote phagocytosis. Using Haemophilus influenzae Eagan strains expressing well-characterized lip...
