PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA LECTIN II (PA-IIL) COMPLEXED WITH LACTO-N-NEO-FUCOPENTAOSE V(LNPFV)

Overview

One of the mechanisms contributing to the protection by breast-feeding of, the newborn against enteric diseases is related to the ability of human, milk oligosaccharides to prevent the attachment of pathogenic bacteria to, the duodenual epithelium. Indeed, a variety of fucosylated, oligosaccharides, specific to human milk, form part of the innate immune, system. In the present study, we demonstrate the specific blocking of, PA-IIL, a fucose-binding lectin of the human pathogen Pseudomonas, aeruginosa, by milk oligosaccharides. Two fucosylated epitopes, Lewis a, and 3-fucosyl-lactose (Lewis x glucose analogue) bind to the lectin with, dissociation constants of 2.2x10(-7) M and 3.6x10(-7) M respectively., Thermodynamic studies indicate that these interactions are dominated by, enthalpy.
