Visualization of Galectin-3 Oligomerization on the Surface of Neutrophils and Endothelial Cells Using Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer

TLDR
Data suggest that galectin-3 lattices are robust and could, thus, be involved, as previously proposed, in the restriction of receptor clustering, and lattice formation.

Protein-glycan interactions in the control of innate and adaptive immune responses

TL;DR: An increasing number of studies reveal the relevance of glycosylation to pathogen recognition, to the modulation of the innate immune system and to the control of immune cell homeostasis and inflammation.

Mammalian glycosylation in immunity

TL;DR: This Review focuses on the emerging immunological roles of the mammalian glycome, which is one of the four fundamental macromolecular components of all cells, and is highly regulated in the immune system.

Galectin-1, -2, and -3 Exhibit Differential Recognition of Sialylated Glycans and Blood Group Antigens

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that each of these galectins mechanistically differ in their binding to glycans on the microarrays and that these differences are reflected in the determinants required for cell binding and signaling.

Galectins at a glance.

TL;DR: Recent literature on the many cellular activities that have been ascribed to galectins are summarized, including carbohydrate-independent interactions with cytosolic or nuclear targets and carbohydrate-dependent interactions with extracellular glycoconjugates.

Oligosaccharide specificity of galectins: a search by frontal affinity chromatography.

TL;DR: In this paper, a frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) was used to quantitatively analyze the interactions at 20 °C between 13 galectins including 16 CRDs originating from mammals, chick, nematode, sponge, and mushroom, with 41 pyridylaminated (PA) oligosaccharides.

Negative regulation of T-cell activation and autoimmunity by Mgat5 N -glycosylation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a deficiency in β1,6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (Mgat5), an enzyme in the N-glycosylation pathway, lowers T-cell activation thresholds by directly enhancing TCR clustering.
