CONCANAVALIN FROM CANAVALIA BRASILIENSISCONCANAVALIN FROM CANAVALIA BRASILIENSIS
Structural highlights
Function[CONA_CANBR] Glucose/D-mannose specific lectin. Has anti-inflammatory activity in rats. Induces histamine release in mast cells from hamster and rat. Induces lymphocyte proliferation and IFNG production. Shows toxicity against the aquatic snail B.glabrata at concentrations higher than 20 ug/ml.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedCanavalia brasiliensis lectin was isolated from the seeds of a Brazilian autochthonous Leguminosae plant. Despite extensive amino acid sequence similarity with Concanavalin A, C. brasiliensis lectin exerts in vitro and in vivo cellular effects that are markedly different from those displayed by Concanavalin A. We have solved the crystal structure of the C. brasiliensis lectin at 3.0 A resolution. The three-dimensional structure of the lectin monomer can be superimposed onto that of Concanavalin A with a root-mean-square deviation for all C alpha atoms of 0.65 A. However, this parameter is 0.84 and 1.62 A when the C. brasiliensis lectin dimer and tetramer, respectively, are compared with the same structures of Concanavalin A. We suggest that these differences in quaternary structure may account for the different biological properties of these two highly related Leguminosae lectins. The crystal structure of Canavalia brasiliensis lectin suggests a correlation between its quaternary conformation and its distinct biological properties from Concanavalin A.,Sanz-Aparicio J, Hermoso J, Grangeiro TB, Calvete JJ, Cavada BS FEBS Lett. 1997 Mar 17;405(1):114-8.
