Type I macrophage scavenger receptor contains α-helical and collagen-like coiled coils

Abstract: The macrophage scavenger receptor is a trimeric membrane glycoprotein with unusual ligand-binding properties which has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. The trimeric structure of the bovine type I scavenger receptor, deduced by complementary DNA cloning, contains three extracellular C-terminal cysteine-rich domains connected to the transmembrane domain by a long fibrous stalk. This stalk structure, composed of an alpha-helical coiled coil and a collagen-like triple helix, has not previousl… Show more

“…7b). These results suggest Endocytic uptake of GA-BSA by mesangial cells from SR-A knock-out mice Among the scavenger receptors, SR-A [17], CD36 [18], SR-BI [19], and LOX-1 [20] have been identified as the AGE receptors. In this study we determined the extent of contribution of SR-A to the endocytic degradation of GA-BSA by mesangial cells.…”

“…These cellular responses to AGE proteins are believed to be mediated by AGE receptors which include the receptor for AGE (RAGE) [15], oligosaccharyltransferase-48 (OST-48), 80K-H, galectin-3 complex [16], and scavenger receptors such as the class A scavenger receptor (SR-A) [17], CD36 [18], SR-BI [19], and LOX-1 [20]. Several AGE receptor(s) in mesangial cells were characterised from the potential link to diabetic nephropathy [21][22][23].…”
