TL;DR: KLRG1 ligation by E-, N-, or R-cadherins may regulate the cytotoxicity of killer cells to prevent damage to tissues expressing the cadherins.

TL;DR: It is proposed that hMGL is a marker of imDCs and that it functions as an endocytic receptor for glycosylated antigens, which was significantly inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with an anti-hMGL monoclonal antibody.

TL;DR: Heat-shock protein 27 (Hsp27) is identified as a major MG-modified protein in cells that causes sensitization of the cells to anti-tumor drug-induced apoptosis and is a novel modulator of cell survival by directly incorporating with the specific protein residue.

TL;DR: The results suggest that CD94/NKG2A binds a HLA‐E surface equivalent to a NKG2D binding site on MICA, and indicate that a mostly shared, but partly distinct set of Hla‐E residues is discriminated by the two receptors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that VIP36 binds glycoproteins that retain the intact D1 mannosyl branch in the cis-Golgi network and recycles to the endoplasmic reticulum where, due to higher pH, it releases its cargos, thereby contributing to the quality control of glyCoproteins.
