The dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) is an innate immune C-type lectin receptor that recognizes carbohydrate-based pathogen associated with molecular patterns of various bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. Although a range of highly mannosylated glycoproteins have been shown to induce signaling via DC-SIGN, precise structure of the recognized oligosaccharide epitope is still unclear. Using the array of oligosaccharides related to selected fragments of main fungal antigenic polysaccharides we revealed a highly specific pentamannoside ligand of DC-SIGN, consisting of α-(1 → 2)-linked mannose chains with one inner α-(1 → 3)-linked unit. This structural motif is present in Candida albicans cell wall mannan and corresponds to its antigenic factors 4 and 13b. This epitope is not ubiquitous in other yeast species and may account for the species-specific nature of fungal recognition via DC-SIGN. The discovered highly specific oligosaccharide ligands of DC-SIGN are tractable tools for interdisciplinary investigations of mechanisms of fungal innate immunity and anti-Candida defense. Ligand- and receptor-based NMR data demonstrated the pentasaccharide-to-DC-SIGN interaction in solution and enabled the deciphering of the interaction topology. |
