cDNA cloning and functional expression of the alpha-D-galactose-binding lectin frutalin in Escherichia coli.
cDNA clones encoding frutalin, the alpha-D-galactose-binding lectin expressed in breadfruit seeds (Artocarpus incisa), were isolated and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequences indicated that frutalin may be encoded by a family of genes. The NCBI database searches revealed that the frutalin sequence is highly homologous with jacalin and mornigaG sequences. Frutalin cDNA was re-amplified and...
متن کاملCrystal structure of bovine coronavirus spike protein lectin domain.
The spike protein N-terminal domains (NTDs) of bovine coronavirus (BCoV) and mouse hepatitis coronavirus (MHV) recognize sugar and protein receptors, respectively, despite their significant sequence homology. We recently determined the crystal structure of MHV NTD complexed with its protein receptor murine carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), which surprisingly r...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a bovine serum lectin (CL-43) with structural homology to conglutinin and SP-D and carbohydrate specificity similar to mannan-binding protein.
A previously undescribed bovine serum lectin (designated CL-43) was identified by its Ca(2+)-dependent binding to mannan and by its molecular mass of 43 kDa under reducing conditions on SDS-PAGE. The lectin was isolated by polyethylene glycol precipitation, affinity chromatography on mannan-Sepharose (followed by elution with EDTA), and absorption on Sepharose-4B-coupled rabbit anti-bovine Ig (...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Bovine Coronavirus Spike Protein Lectin
Background: Coronavirus spike protein N-terminal domains (NTDs) bind sugar or protein receptors. Results:We determined crystal structure of bovine coronavirus NTD and located its sugar-binding site using mutagenesis. Conclusion: Bovine coronavirus NTD shares structural folds and sugar-binding sites with human galectins and has subtle yet functionally important differences from protein-binding N...
