| Research Abstract |
C-Mannosylated peptides derived from the thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR) are involved in the regulation of innate immunity. In this study, we searched for the proteins that bind to C-mannosylated TSR-derived peptides in macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells, and identified heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70). C-Mannosylated peptides enhanced the Hsc70-induced signaling to produce TNF-α, demonstrating a novel function of C-mannosylation of TSR-derived peptides in terms of interaction with Hsc70 to regulate cellular signaling.
