X-RAY CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN DIMERIC S-LAC LECTIN, L-14-II, IN COMPLEX WITH LACTOSE AT 2.9 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
Contents |
Overview
S-Lac lectins are a family of soluble lactose-binding animal lectins, some, of which have been implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix, interactions through specific carbohydrate-mediated recognition. We report, here the x-ray crystal structure of a representative member of this, family, the human dimeric S-Lac lectin, L-14-II, in complex with lactose, at 2.9-A resolution. The two-fold symmetric dimer is made up of two, extended anti-parallel beta-sheets, which associate in a beta-sandwich, motif. Remarkably, the L-14-II monomer shares not only the same topology, but a very similar beta-sheet structure with that of the leguminous plant, lectins, suggesting a conserved structure-function relationship., Carbohydrate binding by L-14-II was found to involve protein residues that, are very highly conserved among all S-Lac lectins. These residues map to a, single DNA exon, suggesting a carbohydrate binding cassette common to all, S-Lac lectins.
