A TRICLINIC CRYSTAL FORM OF THE LECTIN CONCANAVALIN AA TRICLINIC CRYSTAL FORM OF THE LECTIN CONCANAVALIN A
Structural highlights
Function[LECA_DIOGR] D-mannose/D-glucose-binding lectin. Has anti-inflammatory activity in rats. Induces histamine release in mast cells from rat. Induces lymphocyte proliferation and IFNG production. Shows toxicity against the aquatic snail B.glabrata at concentrations higher than 50 ug/ml.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 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 PubMedThe molecular structure of a triclinic crystal form of concanavalin A has been refined at 2.4 A resolution. The crystals have unit cell dimensions a = 78.8 A, b = 79.3 A, c = 133.3 A, alpha = 97.1degrees, beta = 90.2degrees, and gamma = 97.5degrees and contain two tetramers per asymmetric unit each with approximate 222 symmetry. The final crystallographic R-factor is 0.205 and the free-R-factor is 0.265 in the resolution range 6.0 to 2.4 A. The conformation of the tetramer is more similar to that found in concanavalin A saccharide complexes than in the previously reported I222 crystal form of uncomplexed concanavalin A. A comparison of the molecular packing between the two crystal forms shows a more open arrangement with large solvent channels through the crystal.
