http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/25410714http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Sleeping sickness is caused by trypanosome parasites, which infect humans and livestock in Sub-Saharan Africa. Haem is an important growth factor for the parasites and is acquired from the host by receptor-mediated uptake of haptoglobin (Hp)-haemoglobin (Hb) complexes. The parasite Hp-Hb receptor (HpHbR) is also a target for a specialized innate immune defence executed by trypanosome-killing lipoprotein particles containing an Hp-related protein in complex with Hb. Here we report the structure of the multimeric complex between human Hp-Hb and Trypanosoma brucei brucei HpHbR. Two receptors forming kinked three-helical rods with small head regions bind to Hp and the β-subunits of Hb (βHb), with one receptor at each end of the dimeric Hp-Hb complex. The Hb β-subunit haem group directly associates with the receptors, which allows for sensing of haem-containing Hp-Hb. The HpHbR-binding region of Hp is conserved in Hp-related protein, indicating an identical recognition of Hp-Hb and trypanolytic particles by HpHbR in human plasma."xsd:string
