  ABSTRACT  
 
Galectins are a family of lectins which share similar carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) and affinity for small beta-galactosides, but which show significant differences in binding specificity for more complex glycoconjugates. We report here the x-ray crystal structure of the human galectin-3 CRD, in complex with lactose and N-acetyllactosamine, at 2.1-A resolution. This structure represents the first example of a CRD determined from a galectin which does not show the canonical 2-fold symmetric dimer organization. Comparison with the published structures of galectins-1 and -2 provides an explanation for the differences in carbohydrate-binding specificity shown by galectin-3, and for the fact that it fails to form dimers by analogous CRD-CRD interactions.

Figure 2.
Fig. 2. The human galectin-3 carbohydrate binding site. Residues interacting with the bound LacNAc moiety through direct and water mediated hydrogen bonds or through van der Waals contacts are shown. The bound LacNAc moiety is shown with yellow bonds. Oxygen and nitrogen atoms are colored red and blue, respectively. Water molecules are labeled W1-W3. Potential hydrogen bonds are shown as dotted lines.
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Electrostatic potential of the galectin-3-C surface viewed into the carbohydrate binding site. The molecular surface was generated using GRASP (31) with a probe radius of 1.4 Å. Blue and red indicate positive and negative electrostatic potentials respectively. The bound LacNAc moiety is shown in stick representation in yellow.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
