Metal-binding sites of concanavalin A and their role in the binding of alpha-methyl d-glucopyranoside.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Binding of a transition metal ion to specific sites in concanavalin A induces the formation of specific Ca(2+) ion-binding sites. Sites for binding alpha-methyl d-glucopyranoside exist only when a transition metal ion and Ca(2+) ion are bound.

BINDING SITES ON CONCANAVALIN A 399 Concanavalin
Equilibrium dialysis of concanavalin A against methyl c¢-D-mannopyranoside and methyl C¢-D-glucopyranoside conducted at 2 ° in the presence of I M NaC1 showed that concanavalin A is bivalent. A SCATCHARD plot of the data obtained gave straight lines for both sugars with observed association constants (K') of 1. 4. lO 4 1/mole for methyl ,¢-D-mannopyranoside and o.3" IO 4 1/mole for methyl ~¢-D-...
متن کاملMetal ions binding study on human growth hormone by isothermal titration calorimetric method
The interaction of hGH with some metal ions ( ) at 27°C in NaC1 solution, 50 mM was studied using Isothermal titration calorimetry. There is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for binding of all these metal ions, expect . The intrinsic association equilibrium constants () are not very different for and , and also their molar enthalpies of binding (KJ/mol for and KJ/mo...
متن کاملIdentification of RNA-binding sites in artemin based on docking energy landscapes and molecular dynamics simulation
There are questions concerning the functions of artemin, an abundant stress protein found in Artemiaduring embryo development. It has been reported that artemin binds RNA at high temperatures in vitro, suggesting an RNA protective role. In this study, we investigated the possibility of the presence of RNA-bindingsites and their structural properties in artemin, using docking energy ...
متن کاملSynthesis of high-affinity, hydrophobic monosaccharide derivatives and study of their interaction with concanavalin A, the pea, the lentil, and fava bean lectins.
Concanavalin A (Con A) and agglutinins from the pea (PSA), lentil (LCH), and fava bean (VFA) constitute a group of D-mannose/D-glucose binding legume lectins. In addition to their sugar binding specificity, these lectins also contain sites that bind hydrophobic ligands. The present study explores a class of nonpolar binding sites reportedly present adjacent to the carbohydrate binding site in P...
متن کاملA family of concanavalin A-binding peptides from a hexapeptide epitope library.
The lectin concanavalin A (Con A) binds methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside (Me alpha Man) as well as alpha-D-mannosyl groups at the nonreducing terminus of oligosaccharides. Ligand peptides that mimic the binding of Me alpha Man to Con A were identified from screening an epitope library composed of filamentous phage displaying random hexapeptides. A consensus sequence was identified among affinity-...
