Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that exert their biological activity by binding to specific cell glycoreceptors. We have expressed CNL, a ricin B-like lectin from the basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis, in Escherichia coli. The recombinant lectin, rCNL, agglutinates human blood group A erythrocytes and is specific for the unique glycan N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine (GalNAcbeta1-4GlcNAc, LacdiNAc, LDN) as demonstrated by glycan microarray analysis. We here describe the crystal structures of rCNL in complex with lactose and LDN, defining its interactions with the sugars. CNL is a homodimeric lectin, each of whose monomers comprises a single ricin B lectin domain with its beta-trefoil fold and one carbohydrate-binding site. In order to study the mode of CNL action, a non-sugar-binding mutant and non-dimerizing monovalent mutants that retain carbohydrate-binding activity were prepared. rCNL and the mutants were examined for their biological activities against Jurkat human leukemic T cells and the hypersensitive nematode Caenorhabditis elegans mutant strain pmk-1. rCNL was toxic against both, while the mutants were inactive. Thus, the bivalent carbohydrate-binding property of homodimeric CNL is essential for its activity, providing one of the rare pieces of evidence that certain activities of lectins are associated with their multivalency. | |||

Publication Abstract from PubMedLectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that exert their biological activity by binding to specific cell glycoreceptors. We have expressed CNL, a ricin B-like lectin from the basidiomycete Clitocybe nebularis, in Escherichia coli. The recombinant lectin, rCNL, agglutinates human blood group A erythrocytes and is specific for the unique glycan N,N'-diacetyllactosediamine (GalNAcbeta1-4GlcNAc, LacdiNAc, LDN) as demonstrated by glycan microarray analysis. We here describe the crystal structures of rCNL in complex with lactose and LDN, defining its interactions with the sugars. CNL is a homodimeric lectin, each of whose monomers comprises a single ricin B lectin domain with its beta-trefoil fold and one carbohydrate-binding site. In order to study the mode of CNL action, a non-sugar-binding mutant and non-dimerizing monovalent mutants that retain carbohydrate-binding activity were prepared. rCNL and the mutants were examined for their biological activities against Jurkat human leukemic T cells and the hypersensitive nematode Caenorhabditis elegans mutant strain pmk-1. rCNL was toxic against both, while the mutants were inactive. Thus, the bivalent carbohydrate-binding property of homodimeric CNL is essential for its activity, providing one of the rare pieces of evidence that certain activities of lectins are associated with their multivalency.
