Calcium-induced tetramerization and zinc chelation shield human calprotectin from degradation by host and bacterial extracellular proteases

Calprotectin (CP, S100A8/S100A9 oligomer, MRP-8/14 oligomer, calgranulins A and B) is a protein component of the innate immune system that contributes to the metal-withholding response by sequestering bioavailable transition metal ions at sites of infection. Human CP employs Ca(ii) ions to modulate...
