STRUCTURE OF S-LECTIN, A DEVELOPMENTALLY REGULATED VERTEBRATE BETA-GALACTOSIDE BINDING PROTEIN

Overview

The crystal structure of a 14-kDa bovine spleen S-lectin complexed with, the disaccharide N-acetyllactosamine at 1.9-A resolution reveals a, surprising structural relationship to legume lectins, despite the lack of, sequence homology. Two monomers associate to form an extended, beta-sandwich, each with the same jelly roll topology typical of legume, lectins but with dramatically trimmed loops and with different dimer, association. Each monomer binds one N-acetyllactosamine molecule in a, topologically and spatially different site than that of legume lectins., The carbohydrate-binding site provides an unprecedented paradigm for, carbohydrate binding, with a unique network of salt bridges. The, specificity for beta-galactose arises from intricate interactions that, constrain the position of the O4 atom.
