== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PA1L_PSEAE PA1L_PSEAE] D-galactose specific lectin. Binds in decreasing order of affinity: melibiose, methyl-alpha-D-galactoside, D-galactose, methyl-beta-D-galactoside, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. Similar to plant lectins in its selective (carbohydrate-specific) hemagglutinating activity.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The galactose-specific lectin LecA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a target for the development of new anti-infectious compounds. Sugar based molecules with anti-adhesive properties present great potential in the fight against bacterial infection and biofilm formation. LecA is specific for oligosaccharides with terminal alpha-galactoside residues and displays strong affinity for melibiose (alphaGal1-6Glc) with a Kd of 38.8 microM. The crystal structure of LecA/melibiose complex shows classical calcium-bridged binding of alphaGal in the primary binding site but also revealed a secondary sugar binding site with glucose bound. This sugar binding site is in close proximity to the galactose binding one, is independent of calcium and mainly involves interactions with a symmetry-related protein. This discovery would help to the design of new potent inhibitors targeting both binding sites.
