Crystallization and preliminary X‐ray crystallographic analysis of a galactose‐specific lectin from Dolichos lablab

Crystallization and preliminary X‐ray crystallographic analysis of a galactose‐specific lectin... The galactose‐specific lectin from the seeds of Dolichos lablab has been crystallized using the hanging‐drop vapour‐diffusion technique. The crystals belong to space group P1, with unit‐cell parameters a = 73.99, b = 84.13, c = 93.15 Å, α = 89.92, β = 76.01, γ = 76.99°. X‐ray diffraction data to a resolution of 3.0 Å have been collected under cryoconditions (100 K) using a MAR imaging‐plate detector system mounted on a rotating‐anode X‐ray generator. Molecular‐replacement calculations carried out using the available structures of legume lectins as search models revealed that the galactose‐specific lectin from D. lablab forms a tetramer similar to soybean agglutinin; two such tetramers are present in the asymmetric unit. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Crystallographica Section F Wiley

Abstract

The galactose‐specific lectin from the seeds of Dolichos lablab has been crystallized using the hanging‐drop vapour‐diffusion technique. The crystals belong to space group P1, with unit‐cell parameters a = 73.99, b = 84.13, c = 93.15 Å, α = 89.92, β = 76.01, γ = 76.99°. X‐ray diffraction data to a resolution of 3.0 Å have been collected under cryoconditions (100 K) using a MAR imaging‐plate detector system mounted on a rotating‐anode X‐ray generator. Molecular‐replacement calculations carried out using the available structures of legume lectins as search models revealed that the galactose‐specific lectin from D. lablab forms a tetramer similar to soybean agglutinin; two such tetramers are present in the asymmetric unit.
