ERYTHRINA CRISTAGALLI LECTIN
Overview
Erythrina cristagalli lectin (ECL) is a galactose-specific legume lectin., Although its biological function in the legume is unknown, ECL exhibits, hemagglutinating activity in vitro and is mitogenic for T lymphocytes. In, addition, it has been recently shown that ECL forms a novel conjugate when, coupled to a catalytically active derivative of the type A neurotoxin from, Clostridium botulinum, thus providing a therapeutic potential. ECL is, biologically active as a dimer in which each protomer contains a, functional carbohydrate-combining site. The crystal structure of native, ECL was recently reported in complex with lactose and 2'-fucosyllactose., ECL protomers adopt the legume lectin fold but form non-canonical dimers, via the handshake motif as was previously observed for Erythrina, ...
