Disease relevance of AIDS-058808

  • Thus, the data suggest that SPC3 affects HIV-1 infection by two distinct mechanisms: (i) prevention of GalCer-mediated HIV-1 attachment to the surface of CD4-/GalCer+ cells and (ii) post-binding inhibition of HIV-1 entry into CD4+ lymphocytes [1].
 

High impact information on AIDS-058808

  • Accordingly, SPC3 was found to inhibit the binding of gp120 to the GalCer receptor [1].
  • Rat ama4 bound to an affinity matrix on mannose-sepharose but lost all of the SP-A functions except carbohydrate binding and Ca2+-independent GalCer binding [2].
  • SP-A binds to dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and galactosylceramide (GalCer) and MBP-A binds to phosphatidylinositol (PI) [2].
  • Through development the hydroxy-species contributed 56-60% to GalCer and 28-41% to SGalCer in spinal cord, whereas in cerebrum of 24-week-old rats 73% of GalCer and 48% of SGalCer was alpha-hydroxylated in the ceramide moiety [3].
 

Gene context of AIDS-058808

  • All of the chimeras bound DPPC and GalCer with activity comparable to recombinant SP-A [4].
