  ABSTRACT  
 
Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) are pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system that bind bacterial peptidoglycans (PGNs). We determined the crystal structure, to 2.1 A resolution, of the C-terminal PGN-binding domain of human PGRP-I alpha in complex with a muramyl pentapeptide (MPP) from Gram-positive bacteria containing a complete peptide stem (L-Ala-D-isoGln-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala). The structure reveals important features not observed previously in the complex between PGRP-I alpha and a muramyl tripeptide lacking D-Ala at stem positions 4 and 5. Most notable are ligand-induced structural rearrangements in the PGN-binding site that are essential for entry of the C-terminal portion of the peptide stem and for locking MPP in the binding groove. We propose that similar structural rearrangements to accommodate the PGN stem likely characterize many PGRPs, both mammalian and insect.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
