Abstract excerpt
DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR efficiently bind HIV-1 and other viral as well as nonviral pathogens and assist either cis or trans infection. Both are type II transmembrane proteins that consist of an N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a repeat region consisting of seven 23-amino-acid tandem repeats, and a C-terminal C-type carbohydrate recognition domain that binds mannose-enriched carbohydrate modifications of host and...
