C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human dendritic cell (DC)-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and the related receptor, DC-SIGN receptor (DC-SIGNR); CLECT_DC-SIGN_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in human dendritic cell (DC)-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and the related receptor, DC-SIGN receptor (DC-SIGNR). This group also contains proteins similar to hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) and langerin in human. These proteins are type II membrane proteins with a CTLD ectodomain. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. DC-SIGN is thought to mediate the initial contact between dendritic cells and resting T cells, and may also mediate the rolling of DCs on epithelium. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR bind to oligosaccharides present on human tissues, as well as, on pathogens including parasites, bacteria, and viruses. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR bind to HIV enhancing viral infection of T cells. DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR are homotetrameric, and contain four CTLDs stabilized by a coiled coil of alpha helices. The hepatic ASGP-R is an endocytic recycling receptor which binds and internalizes desialylated glycoproteins having a terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues on their N-linked carbohydrate chains, via the clathrin-coated pit mediated endocytic pathway, and delivers them to lysosomes for degradation. It has been proposed that glycoproteins bearing terminal Sia (sialic acid) alpha2, 6GalNAc and Sia alpha2, 6Gal are endogenous ligands for ASGP-R and that ASGP-R participates in regulating the relative concentration of serum glycoproteins bearing alpha 2,6-linked Sia. The human ASGP-R is a hetero-oligomer composed of two subunits, both of which are found within this group. Langerin is expressed in a subset of dendritic leukocytes, the Langerhans cells (LC). Langerin induces the formation of Birbeck Granules (BGs) and associates with these BGs following internalization. Langerin binds, in a calcium-dependent manner, to glyco-conjugates containing mannose and related sugars mediating their uptake and degradation. Langerin molecules oligomerize as trimers with three CTLDs held together by a coiled-coil of alpha helices.

polycystin cation channel protein; The Polycystin Cation Channel (PCC) Family (TC 1.A.5) Polycystin is a huge protein of 4303aas. Its repeated leucine-rich (LRR) segment is found in many proteins. It contains 16 polycystic kidney disease (PKD) domains, one LDL-receptor class A domain, one C-type lectin family domain, and 16-18 putative TMSs in positions between residues 2200 and 4100. Polycystin-L has been shown to be a cation (Na+, K+ and Ca2+) channel that is activated by Ca2+. Two members of the PCC family (polycystin 1 and 2) are mutated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and polycystin-L is deleted in mice with renal and retinal defects. Note: this model is restricted to the amino half.

C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain; CLECT: C-type lectin (CTL)/C-type lectin-like (CTLD) domain; protein domains homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. This group is chiefly comprised of eukaryotic CTLDs, but contains some, as yet functionally uncharacterized, bacterial CTLDs. Many CTLDs are calcium-dependent carbohydrate binding modules; other CTLDs bind protein ligands, lipids, and inorganic surfaces, including CaCO3 and ice. Animal C-type lectins are involved in such functions as extracellular matrix organization, endocytosis, complement activation, pathogen recognition, and cell-cell interactions. For example: mannose-binding lectin and lung surfactant proteins A and D bind carbohydrates on surfaces (e.g. pathogens, allergens, necrotic, and apoptotic cells) and mediate functions associated with killing and phagocytosis; P (platlet)-, E (endothelial)-, and L (leukocyte)- selectins (sels) mediate the initial attachment, tethering, and rolling of lymphocytes on inflamed vascular walls enabling subsequent lymphocyte adhesion and transmigration. CTLDs may bind a variety of carbohydrate ligands including mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, and fucose. Several CTLDs bind to protein ligands, and only some of these binding interactions are Ca2+-dependent; including the CTLDs of Coagulation Factors IX/X (IX/X) and Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) binding proteins, and natural killer cell receptors. C-type lectins, such as lithostathine, and some type II antifreeze glycoproteins function in a Ca2+-independent manner to bind inorganic surfaces. Many proteins in this group contain a single CTLD; these CTLDs associate with each other through several different surfaces to form dimers, trimers, or tetramers, from which ligand-binding sites project in different orientations. Various vertebrate type 1 transmembrane proteins including macrophage mannose receptor, endo180, phospholipase A2 receptor, and dendritic and epithelial cell receptor (DEC205) have extracellular domains containing 8 or more CTLDs; these CTLDs remain in the parent model. In some members (IX/X and VWF binding proteins), a loop extends to the adjoining domain to form a loop-swapped dimer. A similar conformation is seen in the macrophage mannose receptor CRD4's putative non-sugar bound form of the domain in the acid environment of the endosome. Lineage specific expansions of CTLDs have occurred in several animal lineages including Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans; these CTLDs also remain in the parent model.

C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in CEL-1 from Cucumaria echinata and Echinoidin from Anthocidaris crassispina; CLECT_CEL-1_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in CEL-1 from Cucumaria echinata and Echinoidin from Anthocidaris crassispina. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. The CEL-1 CTLD binds three calcium ions and has a high specificity for N-acteylgalactosamine (GalNAc). CEL-1 exhibits strong cytotoxicity which is inhibited by GalNAc. This protein may play a role as a toxin defending against predation. Echinoidin is found in the coelomic fluid of the sea urchin and is specific for GalBeta1-3GalNAc. Echinoidin has a cell adhesive activity towards human cancer cells which is not mediated through the CTLD. Both CEL-1 and Echinoidin are multimeric proteins comprised of multiple dimers linked by disulfide bonds.

C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core proteins; CLECT_CSPGs: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core proteins (CSPGs) in human and chicken aggrecan, frog brevican, and zebra fish dermacan. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. In cartilage, aggrecan forms cartilage link protein stabilized aggregates with hyaluronan (HA). These aggregates contribute to the tissue's load bearing properties. Aggregates having other CSPGs substituting for aggrecan may contribute to the structural integrity of many different tissues. Xenopus brevican is expressed in the notochord and the brain during early embryogenesis. Zebra fish dermacan is expressed in dermal bones and may play a role in dermal bone development. CSPGs do contain LINK domain(s) which bind HA. These LINK domains are considered by one classification system to be a variety of CTLD, but are omitted from this hierarchical classification based on insignificant sequence similarity.

C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the type 1 transmembrane proteins: P(platlet)-, E(endothelial)-, and L(leukocyte)- selectins (sels); CLECT_selectins_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the type 1 transmembrane proteins: P(platlet)-, E(endothelial)-, and L(leukocyte)- selectins (sels). CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. P- E- and L-sels are cell adhesion receptors that mediate the initial attachment, tethering, and rolling of lymphocytes on inflamed vascular walls enabling subsequent lymphocyte adhesion and transmigration. L- sel is expressed constitutively on most leukocytes. P-sel is stored in the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells and in the alpha granules of platlets. E- sels are present on endothelial cells. Following platelet and/or endothelial cell activation P- sel is rapidly translocated to the cell surface and E-sel expression is induced. The initial step in leukocyte migration involves interactions of selectins with fucosylated, sialylated, and sulfated carbohydrate moieties on target ligands displayed on glycoprotein scaffolds on endothelial cells and leucocytes. A major ligand of P- E- and L-sels is PSGL-1 (P-sel glycoprotein ligand). Interactions of E- and P- sels with tumor cells may promote extravasation of cancer cells. Regulation of L-sel and P-sel function includes proteolytic shedding of the most extracellular portion (containing the CTLD) from the cell surface. Increased levels of the soluble form of P-sel in the plasma have been found in a number of diseases including coronary disease and diabetes. E- and P- sel also play roles in the development of synovial inflammation in inflammatory arthritis. Platelet P-sel, but not endothelial P-sel, plays a role in the inflammatory response and neointimal formation after arterial injury. Selectins may also function as signal-transducing receptors.

C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in lectins TC14, TC14-2, TC14-3, and TC14-4 from the budding tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis and PfG6 from the Acorn worm; CLECT_TC14_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in lectins TC14, TC14-2, TC14-3, and TC14-4 from the budding tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis and PfG6 from the Acorn worm. CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. TC14 is homodimeric. The CTLD of TC14 binds D-galactose and D-fucose. TC14 is expressed constitutively by multipotent epithelial and mesenchymal cells and plays in role during budding, in inducing the aggregation of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells to give rise to epithelial forming tissue. TC14-2 and TC14-3 shows calcium-dependent galactose binding activity. TC14-3 is a cytostatic factor which blocks cell growth and dedifferentiation of the atrial epithelium during asexual reproduction. It may also act as a differentiation inducing factor. Galactose inhibits the cytostatic activity of TC14-3. The gene for Acorn worm PfG6 is gill-specific; PfG6 may be a secreted protein.

polycystin cation channel protein; The Polycystin Cation Channel (PCC) Family (TC 1.A.5) Polycystin is a huge protein of 4303aas. Its repeated leucine-rich (LRR) segment is found in many proteins. It contains 16 polycystic kidney disease (PKD) domains, one LDL-receptor class A domain, one C-type lectin family domain, and 16-18 putative TMSs in positions between residues 2200 and 4100. Polycystin-L has been shown to be a cation (Na+, K+ and Ca2+) channel that is activated by Ca2+. Two members of the PCC family (polycystin 1 and 2) are mutated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and polycystin-L is deleted in mice with renal and retinal defects. Note: this model is restricted to the amino half.

C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the tetranectin (TN), cartilage derived C-type lectin (CLECSF1), and stem cell growth factor (SCGF); CLECT_tetranectin_like: C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) of the type found in the tetranectin (TN), cartilage derived C-type lectin (CLECSF1), and stem cell growth factor (SCGF). CTLD refers to a domain homologous to the carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) of the C-type lectins. TN binds to plasminogen and stimulates activation of plasminogen, playing a key role in the regulation of proteolytic processes. The TN CTLD binds two calcium ions. Its calcium free form binds to various kringle-like protein ligands. Two residues involved in the coordination of calcium are critical for the binding of TN to the fourth kringle (K4) domain of plasminogen (Plg K4). TN binds the kringle 1-4 form of angiostatin (AST K1-4). AST K1-4 is a fragment of Plg, commonly found in cancer tissues. TN inhibits the binding of Plg and AST K1-4 to the extracellular matrix (EMC) of endothelial cells and counteracts the antiproliferative effects of AST K1-4 on these cells. TN also binds the tenth kringle domain of apolipoprotein (a). In addition, TN binds fibrin and complex polysaccharides in a Ca2+ dependent manner. The binding site for complex sulfated polysaccharides is N-terminal to the CTLD. TN is homotrimeric; N-terminal to the CTLD is an alpha helical domain responsible for trimerization of monomeric units. TN may modulate angiogenesis through interactions with angiostatin and coagulation through interaction with fibrin. TN may play a role in myogenesis and in bone development. Mice having a deletion in the TN gene exhibit a kyphotic spine abnormality. TN is a useful prognostic marker of certain cancer types. CLECSF1 is expressed in cartilage tissue, which is primarily intracellular matrix (ECM), and is a candidate for organizing ECM. SCGF is strongly expressed in bone marrow and is a cytokine for primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells.
