== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PHAE_PHAVU PHAE_PHAVU] This insecticidal carbohydrate-binding lectin is toxic for the cowpea weevil.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Phytohemagglutinin from Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA-E), a legume lectin, has an unusual specificity toward biantennary galactosylated N-glycan with bisecting N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). To investigate the interaction in detail, we have solved the crystal structures of PHA-E without ligand and in complex with biantennary N-glycan derivatives. PHA-E interacts with the trisaccharide unit (Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-2Man) in a manner completely different from that of mannose/glucose-specific legume lectins. The inner mannose residue binds to a novel site on the protein, and its rotation is opposite to that occurring in the monosaccharide-binding site of other lectins around the sugar O3 axis. Saturation-transfer difference NMR using biantennary di-galactosylated and bisected glycans reveals that PHA-E interacts with both antennas almost equally. The unique carbohydrate interaction explains the glycan-binding specificity and high affinity.
