Crystal structure of a complex of griffithsin with glucose
Overview
Crystal structures of complexes of an antiviral lectin griffithsin (GRFT), with glucose and N-acetylglucosamine were solved and refined at high, resolution. In both complexes, all six monosaccharide-binding sites of, GRFT were occupied and the mode of binding was similar to that of mannose., In our previous attempts to obtain a complex with N-acetylglucosamine by, soaking, only a single site was occupied; thus, cocrystallization was, clearly superior despite lower concentration of the ligand. Isothermal, titration calorimetric experiments with N-acetylglucosamine, glucose, and, mannose provided enthalpic evidence of distinct binding differences, between the three monosaccharides. A comparison of the mode of binding of, different monosaccharides is discussed in the context of the antiviral, activity of GRFT, based on specific binding to high-mannose-containing, complex carbohydrates found on viral envelopes.
