Adhesion/growth-regulatory galectins (gals) exert their functionality by the cis/trans-cross-linking of distinct glycans after initial one-point binding. In order to define the specificity of ensuing association events leading to cross-linking, we recently established a cell-based assay using fluorescent glycoconjugates as flow cytometry probes and tested it on two human gals (gal-1 and -3). Here we present a systematic study of tandem-repeat-type gal-4, -8 and -9 loaded on Raji cells resulting in the following key insights: (i) all three gals bound to oligolactosamines; (ii) binding to ligands with Galβ1-3GlcNAc or Galβ1-3GalNAc as basic motifs was commonly better than that to canonical Galβ1-4GlcNAc; (iii) all three gals bound to 3'-O-sulfated and 3'-sialylated disaccharides mentioned above better than that to parental neutral forms and (iv) histo-blood group ABH antigens were the highest affinity ligands in both the cell and the solid-phase assay. Fine specificity differences were revealed as follows: (i) gal-8 and -9, but not gal-4, bound to disaccharide Galβ1-3GlcNAc; (ii) increase in binding due to negatively charged substituents was marked only in the case of gal-4 and (iii) gal-4 and -8 bound preferably to histo-blood group A glycans, whereas gal-9 targeted B-type glycans. Experiments with single carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) of gal-4 showed that the C-CRD preferably bound to ABH glycans, whereas the N-CRD associated with oligolactosamines. In summary, the comparative analysis disclosed the characteristic profiles of glycan reactivity for the accessible CRD of cell-bound gals. These results indicate the distinct sets of functionality for these three members of the same subgroup of human gals. 相似文献

The involvement of galectins as pleiotropic regulators of cell adhesion and growth in disease progression explains the interest to define their ligand-binding properties. Toward this end, it is desirable to approach in vivo conditions to attain medical relevance. In order to simulate physiological conditions with cell surface glycans as recognition sites and galectins as mediators of intercellular contacts we developed an assay using galectin-loaded Raji cells. The extent of surface binding of fluorescent neoglycoconjugates depended on the lectin presence and the type of lectin, the nature of the probes' carbohydrate headgroup and the density of unsubstituted beta-galactosides on the cell surface. Using the most frequently studied galectins-1 and -3, application of this assay led to rather equal binding levels for linear and branched oligomers of N-acetyllactosamine. A clear preference of galectin-3 for alpha1-3-linked galactosylated lactosamine was noted. In parallel, a panel of 24 neoglycoconjugates was tested as inhibitors of galectin binding from solution to N-glycans of surface-immobilized asialofetuin. These two assays differ in presentation of the galectin and ligand, facilitating identification of assay-dependent properties. Under the condition of the cell assay, selectivity among oligosaccharides for the lectins was higher, and extraordinary affinity of galectin-1 to 3'-O-sulfated probes in a solid-phase assay was lost in the cell assay. Having introduced and validated a cell assay, the comprehensive profiling of ligand binding to cell-surface-presented galectins is made possible. 相似文献

The hemocyanin of Rapana thomasiana grosse (marine snail, gastropod) is a glycoprotein with a carbohydrate content of 8.9% (w/w) and monosaccharide constituents xylose, fucose, 3-OOmethylgalactose, mannose, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylglucosamine residues. The two structural subunits of this oxygen carrier, RHSS1 and RHSS2, are unevenly glycosylated. On subtracting the carbohydrate contribution from the Mr values of 250 and 450 kDa attributed to the two subunits, values of 2.18 × 105 daltons and 4.30 × 105 daltons were calculated for the polypeptide part of the “light” and “heavy” subunits, respectively. Comparison of the monosaccharide compositions of gastropodan hemocyanins revealed qualitative similarities, as well as relationships between the quantities, of the individual monosaccharides: Man 3MeGal > GlcNAc GalNAc and Fuc Xyl 相似文献

Aflatoxins are polyketide-derived secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp. The toxic effects of aflatoxins have adverse
consequences for human health and agricultural economics. The aflR gene, a regulatory gene for aflatoxin biosynthesis, encodes a
protein containing a zinc-finger DNA-binding motif. AFLR-Protein three-dimensional model was generated using Robetta server.
The modeled AFLR-Protein was further optimization and validation using Rampage. In the simulations, we monitored the
backbone atoms and the C-α-helix of the modeled protein. The low RMSD and the simulation time indicate that, as expected, the
3D structural model of AFLR-protein represents a stable folding conformation. This study paves the way for generating computer
molecular models for proteins whose crystal structures are not available and which would aid in detailed molecular mechanism of
inhibition of aflatoxin. 相似文献

Investigations conducted with the use of a specially elaborated method revealed a specific association of some (15--24%) of diseases diagnosed clinically as "acute respiratory affection" (ARA) with streptococcus infection. This was also confirmed by detection of an epidemiological association of ARA with scarlet fever revealed in some child collective bodies. The data obtained pointed to the definite role played by such diseases in the epidemic process in streptococcus infections. 相似文献
