Abstract
The crystal structures of concanavalin A in complex with Man(alpha1-6)Man(alpha1-O)Me and Man(alpha1-3)Man(alpha1-O)Me were determined at resolutions of 2.0 and 2.8 A, respectively. In both structures, the O-1-linked mannose binds in the conserved monosaccharide-binding site. The O-3-linked mannose of Man(alpha1-3)Man(alpha1-O)Me binds in the hydrophobic subsite formed by Tyr-12, Tyr-100, and Leu-99. The shielding of a hydrophobic surface is consistent with the associated large heat capacity change. The O-6-linked mannose of Man(alpha1-6)Man(alpha1-O)Me binds in the same subsite formed by Tyr-12 and Asp-16 as the reducing mannose of the highly specific trimannose Man(alpha1-3)[Man(alpha1-6)]Man(alpha1-O)Me. However, it is much less tightly bound. Its O-2 hydroxyl makes no hydrogen bond with the conserved water 1. Water 1 is present in all the sugar-containing concanavalin A structures and increases the complementarity between the protein-binding surface and the sugar, but is not necessarily a hydrogen-bonding partner. A water analysis of the carbohydrate-binding site revealed a conserved water molecule replacing O-4 on the alpha1-3-linked arm of the trimannose. No such water is found for the reducing or O-6-linked mannose. Our data indicate that the central mannose of Man(alpha1-3)[Man(alpha1-6)]Man(alpha1-O)Me primarily functions as a hinge between the two outer subsites.

The O-3-linked mannose of M3M occupies the same subsite as the aglycon methylumbelliferyl of the substituted glucose. The conformations around the glycosidic linkages are similar. b, the hydrophobic character of the M3M subsite. M3M is shown as a ball-and-stick model. The van der Waals surface of ConA is colored according to residue properties: hydrophobic (brown), basic (blue), acidic (red), other polar residues (light green), or glycine (yellow). This figure was created using GRASP (49).
