Crystal structures of human immune protein FIBCD1 suggest an extended binding site compatible with recognition of pathogen associated carbohydrate motifs (2023)
Journal Article
Williams, H. M., Moeller, J. B., Burns, I., Schlosser, A., Sorensen, G. L., Greenhough, T. J., …Shrive, A. K. (2023). Crystal structures of human immune protein FIBCD1 suggest an extended binding site compatible with recognition of pathogen associated carbohydrate motifs. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 105552. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105552

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
Shrive, & Greenhough. (2021, August). Bacterial lipopolysaccharide recognition by surfactant protein D. Presented at XXV IUCr Congress, Prague, Czech Republic

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.
