==CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN GALECTIN-7==
-
Knowledge about carbohydrate recognition domains of galectins, formerly, known as S-type animal lectins, is important in understanding their, role(s) in cell-cell interactions. Here we report the crystal structure of, human galectin-7 (hGal-7), in free form and in the presence of galactose, galactosamine, lactose, and N-acetyl-lactosamine at high resolution. This, is the first structure of a galectin determined in both free and, carbohydrate-bound forms. The structure shows a fold similar to that of, the prototype galectins -1 and -2, but has greater similarity to a related, galectin molecule, Gal-10. Even though the carbohydrate-binding residues, are conserved, there are significant changes in this pocket due to, shortening of a loop structure. The monomeric hGal-7 molecule exists as a, dimer in the crystals, but adopts a packing arrangement considerably, different from that of Gal-1 and Gal-2, which has implications for, carbohydrate recognition.
