Mol Cell. 1:1998;719-728. The structure determination provides the first example of an I-lectin fold, which is a variant of the V-set immunoglobulin-like fold. The variations appear to be important in adapting the V-set fold to sialic-acid-mediated recognition.

Cell. 93:1998;639-648. The structure determination provides the first example of a P-lectin fold. The fold consists of a nine-stranded flattened β barrel. The distance between the two ligand-binding sites of the dimer provides a structural basis for the differences in binding affinity towards various lysosomal enzymes.

Tachylectin-2: crystal structure of a specific GlcNAc/GalNAc-binding lectin involved in the innate immunity host defense of the Japanese horseshoe crab Tachypleus tridentatus. EMBO J. 18:1999;2313-2322. The structure of tachylectin-2 reveals a new fivefold symmetric lectin fold displaying a five-bladed β-propeller structure. It exhibits five virtually identical binding sites, each associated with a w-like module of the lectin, with high specificity for N-acetylglucosamine. The high number of binding sites within the single polypeptide chain strongly suggests the recognition of carbohydrate surface structures of pathogens with a fairly high ligand density.
