Carbohydrate specificity:
PA-IIL (LecB, formerly PA-II) lectin strongly binds l-fucose, its derivatives, and many fucosylated oligosaccharides, including Lewis and blood group ABO antigens. It has the highest preference for Lewis a, sialyl-Lewis a, and blood group H (type 2) epitopes; other Lewis/ABO oligosaccharides are less efficient ligands. PA-IIL does not recognize blood group A and B epitopes (type 1). Besides l-fucose, PA-IIL binds d-mannose and mannosylated glycans with weak affinity [1-2].
Ion dependency: | Ca2+-dependent |
Glycan array data: | CFG web pages |
Stability:
Highly thermostable lectin. Stable in a variety of buffers with pH 4.0-10.0. Since the presence of calcium ions in the binding site is required for lectin activity, adding calcium ions (0.1-0.5 mM CaCl2) to the working buffer is recommended. Avoid EDTA and other chelating agents as they lead to removing Ca2+ ions from the binding site and losing lectin activity. After reconstitution in neutral pH buffers, the protein should be stable in the fridge for weeks. Adding sodium azide (0.02%) is recommended to avoid microbial growth.
Tm = 94 °C (DSC, 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM CaCl2, pH 7.5)
Applications and biological effects:
PA-IIL can be used in various applications, including lectin blotting, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and lectin histochemistry. It is also used in commercial lectin microarrays to study glycosylations of proteins and cells.
PA-IIL inhibits ciliary beat in human airways [3,4]. It induces BCR- and CD19-dependent activation of B cells [5], impairs keratinocyte fitness by abrogating growth factor signaling [6], causes integrin internalization, and inhibits epithelial wound healing [7]. Also, PA-IIL lectin stimulates human peripheral lymphocytes and murine splenocytes [8] and induces differentiation of the acute myeloid leukemia cell line THP-1 [9].
