Figure 2. Trans and cis recognition of Siglec-1 ligands.

Figure 2

A. Siglec-1 has 16 C2-type domains that extend the V-set domain from the glycocalix of the cell, allowing for recognition of sialylated molecules on different ligands and pathogens such as HIV-1. B. Other members of the Siglec family display a lower number of C2-type domains and interact only in cis, with sialylated molecules exposed on the membrane of the same cell.
