Structural Insight into Divalent Galactoside Binding to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecA
Structural highlights
FunctionPA1L_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 PubMedMultivalent galactosides inhibiting Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms may help control this problematic pathogen. To understand the binding mode of tetravalent glycopeptide dendrimer GalAG2 [(Gal-beta-OC6H4CO-Lys-Pro-Leu)4(Lys-Phe-Lys-Ile)2Lys-His-Ile-NH2] to its target lectin LecA, crystal structures of LecA complexes with divalent analog GalAG1 [(Gal-beta-OC6H4CO-Lys-Pro-Leu)2Lys-Phe-Lys-Ile-NH2] and related glucose-triazole linked bis-galactosides 3u3 [Gal-beta-O(CH2)n-(C2HN3)-4-Glc-beta-(C2HN3)-[beta-Glc-4-(N3HC2)]2-(CH2)n-O-beta- Gal (n = 1)] and 5u3 (n = 3) were obtained, revealing a chelate bound 3u3, cross-linked 5u3, and monovalently bound GalAG1. Nevertheless, a chelate bound model better explaining their strong LecA binding and the absence of lectin aggregation was obtained by modeling for all three ligands. A model of the chelate bound GalAG2.LecA complex was also obtained rationalizing its unusually tight LecA binding (KD = 2.5 nM) and aggregation by lectin cross-linking. The very weak biofilm inhibition with divalent LecA inhibitors suggests that lectin aggregation is necessary for biofilm inhibition by GalAG2, pointing to multivalent glycoclusters as a unique opportunity to control P. aeruginosa biofilms.
