抄録

The carbohydrate binding specificity of leukoagglutinin (La; Phaseolus vulgaris isolectin L4) was studied by using quantitative precipitation and precipitation-inhibition. A series of purified glycopeptides and synthetic oligosaccharides were used as inhibitors. The minimal structural unit required for La binding was the disaccharide GlcNac(1 leads to beta 2)Man. Additions for this basic unit of different sugar residues gave a positive or negative contribution to binding. The most complementary structure was the pentasaccharide (formula: see text). This pentasaccharide units occurs in tetraantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type glycoprotein glycans. Glycoproteins containing such structures were accordingly precipitated by La. Selected glycopeptides and oligosaccharides were also tested as inhibitors of La-induced DNA synthesis in human lymphocytes. The pattern of inhibition was essentially the same as that obtained by precipitation-inhibition, indicating that binding to lymphocytes via the carbohydrate binding site of the lectin is an essential step in the activation process.
