Crystal structure of the C-terminal PGN-binding domain of human PGRP-Ialpha in complex with PGN analog muramyl tripeptide
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 15572450
Function
[PGRP3_HUMAN] Pattern receptor that binds to murein peptidoglycans (PGN) of Gram-positive bacteria. Has bactericidal activity towards Gram-positive bacteria. May kill Gram-positive bacteria by interfering with peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Binds also to Gram-negative bacteria, and has bacteriostatic activity towards Gram-negative bacteria. Plays a role in innate immunity.[1]
