Abstract
Both the dendritic cell receptor DC-SIGN and the closely related endothelial cell receptor DC-SIGNR bind human immunodeficiency virus and enhance infection. However, biochemical and structural comparison of these receptors now reveals that they have very different physiological functions. By screening an extensive glycan array, we demonstrated that DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR have distinct ligand-binding properties. Our structural and mutagenesis data explain how both receptors bind high-mannose oligosaccharides on enveloped viruses and why only DC-SIGN binds blood group antigens, including those present on microorganisms. DC-SIGN mediates endocytosis, trafficking as a recycling receptor and releasing ligand at endosomal pH, whereas DC-SIGNR does not release ligand at low pH or mediate endocytosis. Thus, whereas DC-SIGN has dual ligand-binding properties and functions both in adhesion and in endocytosis of pathogens, DC-SIGNR binds a restricted set of ligands and has only the properties of an adhesion receptor.

Figure 2. Oligosaccharides used in structural studies of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR. Symbols are as defined in Figure 1. Structures of the complexes of both proteins with the GlcNAc[2]Man[3] oligosaccharide are as described^14. This oligosaccharide contains a branch mannose that is not linked to other sugars. The branch mannose residues in the high-mannose oligosaccharide are linked in either (outer branch) or (core branch) configuration. The Man[4] oligosaccharide is an analog of the outer branch structure.

Figure 4. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR interactions with Lewisx and oligomannosides. (a) DC-SIGNR bound to Lewisx trisaccharide. (b) DC-SIGN bound to LNFP III. In a and b, key residues that differ between DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR are shown. (c) Comparison of Man[4] (yellow bonds) binding with GlcNAc[2]Man[3] (red bonds)14. Phe313 interacts with the Man 1-6Man moiety of the trimannose structure. (d) Comparison of Man[4] (yellow bonds) and LNFP III (black bonds) bound to DC-SIGN. The color scheme is the same as in Figure 3.
