== 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 mediates biofilm formation in the opportunistic pathogen P. aeruginosa . The interaction between LecA and aromatic beta-galactoside biofilm inhibitors involves an intermolecular CH-pi T-shape interaction between C(epsilon1)-H of residue His50 in LecA and the aromatic ring of the galactoside aglycone. The generality of this interaction was tested in a diverse family of beta-galactosides. LecA binding to aromatic beta-galactosides (KD approximately 8 muM) was consistently stronger than to aliphatic beta-galactosides (KD approximately 36 muM). The CH-pi interaction was observed in the X-ray crystal structures of six different LecA complexes, with shorter than the van der Waals distances indicating productive binding. Related XH/cation/pi-pi interactions involving other residues were identified in complexes of aromatic glycosides with a variety of carbohydrate binding proteins such as concanavalin A. Exploiting such interactions might be generally useful in drug design against these targets.
