Structural highlights
FunctionCH3L1_SHEEP Carbohydrate-binding lectin with a preference for chitin. May play a role in defense against pathogens, or in tissue remodeling. May play an important role in the capacity of cells to respond to and cope with changes in their environment (By similarity). Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedA 40kDa glycoprotein from dry secretion of sheep is implicated as a signaling factor and is named as SPS-40. This protein is secreted only during the early phase of involution when the drastic tissue remodeling occurs in the mammary gland. SPS-40 was purified from sheep dry secretions and crystallized using hanging drop vapour diffusion method. The crystals belong to orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell dimensions, a=62.7A, b=66.4A, c=107.5A. The protein was also cloned for the determination of its complete amino acid sequence. The three-dimensional structure of SPS-40 was determined by X-ray crystallographic method at 2.0A resolution. The structure revealed the presence of an N-linked glycan chain at Asn39. The protein adopts a conformation with a classical (beta/alpha)(8)-barrel fold of triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) (residues 1-237 and 310-360) with an insertion of a small (alpha+beta) domain (residues 240-307) similar to that observed in chitinases. However, the Leu substitution for Glu in the consensus catalytic sequence in SPS-40 causes a loss of chitinase activity. Furthermore, the sugar-binding groove in SPS-40 is distorted considerably from the standard chitin-binding site in chitinase enzymes and hence the binding of chitin-like oligosaccharides is considerably hampered. Three surface loops, His188-His197, Phe202-Arg212 and Phe244-Pro260 have exceptionally high values of B-factors (average=70.5A(2)), indicating the presence of a less defined region.
