Crystal structure of P-selectin lectin/EGF domains complexed with SLeX
OverviewOverview
P-, E- and L-selectin constitute a family of cell adhesion receptors that, mediate the initial tethering and rolling of leukocytes on inflamed, endothelium as a prelude to their firm attachment and extravasation into, tissues. The selectins bind weakly to sialyl Lewisx (SLe(X))-like glycans, but with high-affinity to specific glycoprotein counterreceptors, including PSGL-1. Here, we report crystal structures of human P- and, E-selectin constructs containing the lectin and EGF (LE) domains, co-complexed with SLe(X). We also present the crystal structure of, P-selectin LE co-complexed with the N-terminal domain of human PSGL-1, modified by both tyrosine sulfation and SLe(X). These structures reveal, differences in how E- and P-selectin bind SLe(X) and the molecular basis, of the high-affinity interaction between P-selectin and PSGL-1.
