Structure-functional study of PHL lectin from Photorhabdus asymbiotica
Original language description
Lectins are a very important group of proteins and glycoproteins, which specifically recognize and reversibly bind glycoconjugates. Due to this interaction, lectins play a crucial role in many physiological and pathophysiological processes including immunological reactions or interactions between tissue?s cells. They also play a very important role in interactions between a pathogen and its host as they can mediate the first step of an expansion of infection. Our project is focused on study of a new lectin from the Photorhabdus asymbiotica bacterium. This bacterium is characterized as pathogen of both insects and humans. We have identified a new putative lectin (PHL) in the P. asymbiotica genome with the predicted structure similarity to the lectins from so-called AAL family, which are specific for fucosylated oligosaccharides.
