It also demonstrates for the first time antibody-mediated activation of the classical complement pathway in the absence of C1q or antigen.

By introduction of mutations into SP-A cDNA, the authors have mapped several of the critical functions of SP-A to the CRD. They provide evidence that Glu195 and Arg197 of the CRD of rat SP-A are critical determinants of the interactions between SP-A and carbohydrates, lipids, and type II cells.

A convincing demonstration that in the collectin family the 'neck region' (a short stretch of amino acids linking the collagen region to the CRDs) forms parallel three-stranded a-helical coiled-coils, thereby mediating interchain recognition, alignment, and trimerization of the three polypeptide chains.
22. Sheriff S, Chang CY, Ezekowitz RAB: Human mannose-binding protein carbohydrate recognition domain trimerizes through a triple α-helical coiled-coil. Nature Struct Biol 1994, 1:789-794. The X-ray crystal structure is described for a trimeric peptide consisting of the 'neck' and CRDs of human MBP. This paper and [23••] suggest that the MBP trimer is stabilized primarily through the α-helical coiled-coils with additional interactions between a CRD and a neighboring chain's α-helix. The arrangement of the CRDs places the carbohydrate binding sites 45 Á apart, which suggests how MBP trimers recognize branched oligosaccharides on microorganisms.
