N-GLYCAN AND POLYPEPTIDE NMR SOLUTION STRUCTURES OF THE ADHESION DOMAIN OF HUMAN CD2
|
Overview
The adhesion domain of human CD2 bears a single N-linked carbohydrate. The, solution structure of a fragment of CD2 containing the covalently bound, high-mannose N-glycan [-(N-acetylglucosamine)2-(mannose)5-8] was solved by, nuclear magnetic resonance. The stem and two of three branches of the, carbohydrate structure are well defined and the mobility of proximal, glycan residues is restricted. Mutagenesis of all residues in the vicinity, of the glycan suggests that the glycan is not a component of the CD2-CD58, interface; rather, the carbohydrate stabilizes the protein fold by, counterbalancing an unfavorable clustering of five positive charges, centered about lysine-61 of CD2.
