Abstract
Dendritic cell specific intracellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM-3) grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), a C-type lectin present on the surface of dendritic cells, mediates the initial interaction of dendritic cells with T cells by binding to ICAM-3. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR, a related receptor found on the endothelium of liver sinusoids, placental capillaries, and lymph nodes, bind to oligosaccharides that are present on the envelope of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), an interaction that strongly promotes viral infection of T cells. Crystal structures of carbohydrate-recognition domains of DC-SIGN and of DC-SIGNR bound to oligosaccharide, in combination with binding studies, reveal that these receptors selectively recognize endogenous high-mannose oligosaccharides and may represent a new avenue for developing HIV prophylactics.
Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Oligosaccharide structures. (A) The pentasaccharide co-crystallized with both DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR. Residue numbers used in the text are shown in parentheses. (B) N-linked high-mannose structure. The full nine-mannose structure (Man[9]) is shown, but the presence of 1-2 linked mannose at the branch termini is variable. The inner branched trimannose structure Man 1-3 [Man 1-6]Man is shown in the red box, and the outer trimannose structure is shown in the yellow box. (C) Typical N-linked complex carbohydrate. The portion equivalent to the pentasaccharide used in this study is boxed in red. The inner trimannose structure is common to both complex and high-mannose N-linked oligosaccharides. Gal, galactose; GlcNAc, N-acetylglucosamine; Man, mannose; Sia, sialic acid.
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. A phenylalanine prevents binding of the inner trimannosyl core of N-linked oligosaccharides. The DC-SIGNR CRD is shown in cyan, with the Phe^325 side chain in a ball-and-stick representation. In yellow-green, the outer branched trimannose structure of Man[9] was superimposed on the trimannose structure seen in the DC-SIGNR crystals. For clarity, only the 1-6 branch is shown. In magenta, the mannose residue of a model of the internal Man 1-4GlcNAc 1-4GlcNAc moiety of N-linked oligosaccharides was superimposed on the central (reducing) mannose of the trimannose structure. The model was made by setting the torsion angles of the glycosidic linkages to their average values found in an oligosaccharide structure database (13), with adjustments in the torsion angles to overlay the branched trimannose structure precisely. The clash of the first GlcNAc with Phe^325 is evident. In both the positions of the 1-3 and 1-6 linked mannose residues linked to the central mannose of the trimannose structure are indicated in the black text.
