These processes are emerging to involve several regions on the protein so that the availability of a detailed structural characterization of a full-length galectin is essential. We report here the first crystallographic information on the N-terminal extension of the carbohydrate recognition domain of rat galectin-5, which is precisely described as an N-tailed proto-type-like galectin. In the ligand-free protein, the three amino-acid stretch from Ser2 to Ser5 is revealed to form an extra beta-strand (F0), and the residues from Thr6 to Asn12 are part of a loop protruding from strands S1 and F0. In the ligand-bound structure, amino acids Ser2-Tyr10 switch position and are aligned to the edge of the beta-sandwich. Interestingly, the signal profile in our glycan array screening shows the sugar-binding site to preferentially accommodate the histo-blood-group B (type 2) tetrasaccharide and N-acetyllactosamine-based di- and oligomers. The crystal structures revealed the characteristically preformed structural organization around the central Trp77 of the CRD with involvement of the sequence signature's amino acids in binding. Ligand binding was also characterized calorimetrically. The presented data shows that the N-terminal extension can adopt an ordered structure and shapes the hypothesis that a ligand-induced shift in the equilibrium between flexible and ordered conformers potentially acts as a molecular switch, enabling new contacts in this region.
