Figure 3. (a) Superposition of the architectures of carbohydrate-recognition sites of human GRP-C and human galectin-7. hGRP-C and hGal-7 are colored orange and blue, respectively. hGRP-C residues E50, K52, V54, N63, R70, E73, and S75 involved in sugar-binding and equivalent residues of hGal-7 are shown as stick models and their carbon atoms are colored green and blue, respectively. Galactose carbon atoms are colored gray. (b) Comparison of carbohydrate-binding pockets of hGal-7 and hGRP-C. In the left diagram, the groove labeled by a black arrow is sugar-binding pocket of hGal-7. In the surface diagram of hGRP-C, the region equivalent to hGal-7 binding pocket is labeled by a black dashed pane.
