Ticks from diverse genera encode chemokine-inhibitory evasin proteins (2017)
Journal Article
Hayward, J., Sanchez, J., Perry, A., Huang, C., Rodriguez Valle, M., Canals, M., …Stone, M. J. (2017). Ticks from diverse genera encode chemokine-inhibitory evasin proteins. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 292(38), 15670-15680. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M117.807255

To prolong residence on their hosts, ticks secrete many salivary factors that target host defense molecules. In particular, the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus has been shown to produce three salivary glycoproteins named “evasins,” which bind to host c...

Key determinants of selective binding and activation by the monocyte chemoattractant proteins at the chemokine receptor CCR2 (2017)
Journal Article
Huma, Z. E., Sanchez, J., Lim, H. D., Bridgford, J. L., Huang, C., Parker, B. J., …Stone, M. J. (2017). Key determinants of selective binding and activation by the monocyte chemoattractant proteins at the chemokine receptor CCR2. Science Signaling, 10(480), Article eaai8529. https://doi.org/10.1126/scisignal.aai8529

Chemokines and their receptors collectively orchestrate the trafficking of leukocytes in normal immune function and inflammatory diseases. Different chemokines can induce distinct responses at the same receptor. In comparison to monocyte chemoattract...
