Preparation and Storage

Background: Siglec-1/CD169

Siglecs are sialic acid specific I-type lectins that belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Structurally, they are transmembrane proteins with an N-terminal Ig-like V‑set domain followed by varying numbers of Ig-like C2-set domains (1, 2). Mouse Siglec-1, also known as sialoadhesin and CD169, is a 175‑185 kDa glycoprotein that consists of a 1619 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with one Ig-like V‑set domain and 16 Ig-like C2-set domains, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 35 aa cytoplasmic domain (3, 4). Within the ECD, mouse Siglec-1 shares 73% and 83% aa sequence identity with human and rat Siglec-1, respectively. Alternate splicing generates a soluble form of the ECD and a soluble isoform that is truncated following the first three Ig-like domains (3). Siglec-1 expression is restricted to lymph node and spleen macrophages and some tissue macrophages (4). The adhesive function of Siglec-1 is supported by the N-terminal Ig-like domain which shows a selectivity for alpha -2,3-linked sialic acid residues (4‑6). Siglec-1 binds a number of sialylated molecules including the mannose receptor, MGL1, MUC1, PSGL-1, and different glycoforms of CD43 (7‑10). Its binding capacity can be masked by endogenous sialylated molecules (11, 12). The sialylated and sulfated N-linked carbohydrates that modify Siglec-1 itself are required for ligand binding (7, 8). Siglec-1 is expressed on dendritic cells following rhinovirus exposure, and these DC promote T cell anergy (13). It is also induced on circulating monocytes during systemic sclerosis and HIV‑1 infection (14‑16). Siglec-1 can trap HIV‑1 particles for trans-infection of permissive cells (15).
