The macrophage mannose receptor is the prototype for a family of receptors each having an extracellular region consisting of all N-terminal cysteine-rich domain related to the R-type carbohydrate-recognition domain of ricin, a fibronectin type II domain and eight to ten domains related to C-type carbohydrate-recognition domains. The mannose receptor acts as a molecular scavenger, clearing harmful glycoconjugates or micro-organisms through recognition of their defining carbohydrate structures. Cell-adhesion assays, as well as collagen-binding assays, have now been used to show that the mannose receptor can also bind collagen and that the fibronectin type II domain mediates this activity. Neither of the two types of sugar-binding domain in the receptor is involved in collagen binding. Fibroblasts expressing the mannose receptor adhere to type I, type III and type IV collagens, but not to type V collagen, and the adherence is inhibited by isolated mannose receptor fibronectin type II domain. The fibronectin type II domain shows the same specificity for collagen as the whole receptor, binding to type I, type III and type IV collagens. This is the first activity assigned to the fibronectin type It domain of the mannose receptor. The results suggest additional roles for this multifunctional receptor in mediating collagen clearance or cell-matrix adhesion.
