The molecular basis for the pH-dependent calcium affinity of the pattern recognition receptor langerin

The C-type lectin receptor langerin plays a vital role in the mammalian defense against invading pathogens. Langerin requires a Ca(2+) cofactor, the binding affinity of which is regulated by pH. Thus, Ca(2+) is bound when langerin is on the membrane but released when langerin and its pathogen substr...
