Unlike MSR1, MARCO uses the SRCR domain and more particularly the arginine-rich region within this domain for binding. (Brannstrom et al. 2002). MARCO binds lipopolysaccharide and lipoteichoic acid, both found on the surfaces of bacteria (Elomaa et al. 1998, Elshourbagy et al. 2000). MARCO binds and phagocytoses Streptococcus pneumoniae (mouse, Dorrington et al. 2013), Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus (Elshourbagy, Li et al. 2000), Neisseria meningitidis (Mukhopadhyay et al. 2006), Clostridium sordellii (Thelen et al. 2010). MARCO binds proinflammatory oxidized lipids (mouse, Dahl et al. 2007). MARCO binds CpG oligonucleotide sequences (CpG-ODN) in microbial DNA (mouse, Jozefowski et al. 2006), uteroglobin-related protein 1 (Bin et al. 2003), unopsonized particles (TiO2, Fe2O3, and latex beads) (Palecanda et al. 1999) and silica particles (Hamilton et al. 2006). MARCO is most strongly expressed on subgroups of macrophages and can also be detected on splenic dendritic cells.
