Structure of Rhamnose-binding Lectin CSL3: Unique Pseudo-tetrameric Architecture of a Pattern Recognition Protein

Lectin Microarray Reveals Binding Profiles of Lactobacillus casei Strains in a Comprehensive Analysis of Bacterial Cell Wall Polysaccharides

“…The lectins used in this assay are mostly derived from various plants, except for AOL, which was isolated from Aspergillus oryzae; CSL, which was isolated from salmon eggs (34,40); and HPA, which was isolated from Helix pomatia; some lectins were isolated from fungi. Recent advances in mammalian cell biology reveal that various lectin-like proteins are expressed on mammalian cell surfaces and may play pivotal roles in cell signaling.…”

“…The glycan-binding specificities of the lectins are listed in Table S1 in the supplemental material. In addition, CSL, a rhamnose (Rha)-binding lectin isolated from chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) eggs (34,40), was used in this study (see Fig. 2A).…”

The Structure of a Streptomyces avermitilis α-l-Rhamnosidase Reveals a Novel Carbohydrate-binding Module CBM67 within the Six-domain Arrangement

“…Prior to the discovery of the CBM67 family, the only other, nonenzymatic, L-rhamnose-binding proteins were animal lectins for which NMR and crystal structures are available (36,37). These proteins display an ␣/␤-fold and ligand binding is not metal dependent.…”

Routes in Innate Immunity Evolution: Galectins and Rhamnose‐binding Lectins in Ascidians

“…Previous studies (Cima et al, 2010) indicate that phagocytes change their morphology and behavior during the take-over, and 20-30% of circulating hemocytes undergo cell death. Therefore, the increase in immunolabeled cells probably has a twofold origin, deriving both from the increase in the number of phagocytes synthesizing BsRBL, which justifies the higher quantity of lectin mRNA at take-over, and in part from the interaction of BsRBL with the surfaces of senescent cells, as coating by BsRBL may either induce apoptosis in effete cells expressing complementary glycolipids, analogously to what is reported for catfish-egg RBL (Kawano et al, 2009;Shirai et al, 2009), or represent an 'eat me' signal for the clearance of dying cells by phagocytes.…”
