Structural basis for cooperative lectin-cell binding.\nThe crystal structure of wheat germ agglutinin isolectin 1 (WGA1) complexed with a tryptic sialoglycopeptide fragment (T-5) from its erythrocyte receptor glycophorin A, which contains the O-linked tetrasaccharide NeuNAc-alpha 2,3-Gal-beta 1,3-(alpha 2,6-NeuNAc) Gal-NAc-alpha 1-O-Thr, has been determined by molecular replacement techniques and refined at 2.0-A resolution (R = 18.1%). The structure reveals that association between WGA1 dimers, composed of two identical four-domain (A-D) monomers, and T-5 is asymmetric and involves sialic acid binding at three nonequivalent aromatic residue-rich sites. Two independent binding modes are observed. In the dominant (\"major\") binding mode, the two highest affinity sites are utilized to cross-link neighboring crystallographically related WGA1 dimers. The branched tetrasaccharide has an extended rigid conformation, and its terminal alpha 2,6-NeuNAc and alpha 2,3-NeuNAc residues occupy specificity sites in domains B1 (monomer 1) and C2 (monomer 2) on opposing dimers, respectively. This asymmetric selection of binding sites leads to infinite open-ended arrays of interlinked lectin molecules. In the subsidiary \"minor\" binding mode, only the terminal alpha 2,6-NeuNAc, anchored to the aromatic residue-rich binding site in domain A2, is clearly visible. The remaining portion of T-5 is disordered. This structure presents the first evidence for NeuNAc binding in the aromatic residue-rich sites of domains A and C and suggests a preference of WGA for alpha 2,6-linked NeuNAc. Moreover, the unusual asymmetric WGA1-tetrasaccharide association, involving domain binding sites that differ in their binding affinities for NeuNAc, offers explanations for the widely observed cooperative cell binding behavior of WGA."}

Structural basis for cooperative lectin-cell binding.\nThe crystal structure of wheat germ agglutinin isolectin 1 (WGA1) complexed with a tryptic sialoglycopeptide fragment (T-5) from its erythrocyte receptor glycophorin A, which contains the O-linked tetrasaccharide NeuNAc-alpha 2,3-Gal-beta 1,3-(alpha 2,6-NeuNAc) Gal-NAc-alpha 1-O-Thr, has been determined by molecular replacement techniques and refined at 2.0-A resolution (R = 18.1%). The structure reveals that association between WGA1 dimers, composed of two identical four-domain (A-D) monomers, and T-5 is asymmetric and involves sialic acid binding at three nonequivalent aromatic residue-rich sites. Two independent binding modes are observed. In the dominant (\"major\") binding mode, the two highest affinity sites are utilized to cross-link neighboring crystallographically related WGA1 dimers. The branched tetrasaccharide has an extended rigid conformation, and its terminal alpha 2,6-NeuNAc and alpha 2,3-NeuNAc residues occupy specificity sites in domains B1 (monomer 1) and C2 (monomer 2) on opposing dimers, respectively. This asymmetric selection of binding sites leads to infinite open-ended arrays of interlinked lectin molecules. In the subsidiary \"minor\" binding mode, only the terminal alpha 2,6-NeuNAc, anchored to the aromatic residue-rich binding site in domain A2, is clearly visible. The remaining portion of T-5 is disordered. This structure presents the first evidence for NeuNAc binding in the aromatic residue-rich sites of domains A and C and suggests a preference of WGA for alpha 2,6-linked NeuNAc. Moreover, the unusual asymmetric WGA1-tetrasaccharide association, involving domain binding sites that differ in their binding affinities for NeuNAc, offers explanations for the widely observed cooperative cell binding behavior of WGA."}
