Abstract
The scavenger receptor C-type lectin (SRCL) is unique in the family of class A scavenger receptors, because in addition to binding sites for oxidized lipoproteins it also contains a C-type carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) that interacts with specific glycans. Both human and mouse SRCL are highly specific for the Lewisx trisaccharide, which is commonly found on the surfaces of leukocytes and some tumor cells. Structural analysis of the CRD of mouse SRCL in complex with Lewisx and mutagenesis show the basis for this specificity. The interaction between mouse SRCL and Lewisx is analogous to the way that selectins and DC-SIGN bind to related fucosylated glycans, but the mechanism of the interaction is novel, because it is based on a primary galactose-binding site similar to the binding site in the asialoglycoprotein receptor. Crystals of the human receptor lacking bound calcium ions reveal an alternative conformation in which a glycan ligand would be released during receptor-mediated endocytosis.

FIGURE 2. Structure of the CRD from SRCL. The CRD is shown as a color ramp starting with blue at the N terminus and ending in red at the C terminus. Disulfide bonds are shown in yellow. A, human SRCL. Zn^2+ are shown as orange spheres. B, mouse SRCL bound to Lewis^x. The oligosaccharide is shown in a stick representation. Ca^2+ are shown as large green spheres.

FIGURE 5. Comparison of galactose-binding sites in C-type CRDs. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and calcium are represented as white, blue, red, and green spheres, respectively. Hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed gray lines, Ca^2+ coordination bonds are dashed black lines and hydrophobic interactions are in dashed blue lines. A, mouse SRCL. For simplicity only the galactose residue of Lewis^x is shown. B, Gal/GalNAc-binding mutant of mannose-binding protein complexed with GalNAc (1FIH, copy A) (16). C, rattlesnake venom lectin complexed with lactose (1JZN) (17). D, tunicate lectin complexed with galactose (1TLG) (18).
