In this short review, a sequential model for the evolution of glycoprotein biosynthesis and recognition is presented. By distinguishing between core sugars and terminal elaborations, early structural roles for carbohydrates are contrasted with the information-bearing functions found in multicellular organisms.

The X-ray crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of sialoadhesin in complex with 3′ sialyllactose is described. Although the structure is very similar to that of a V-set immunoglobulin fold, it shows a number of differences that have adapted it for sialic acid binding. The structure also provides a detailed picture of the interactions mediating sialic acid binding, in particular Trp2, Arg97 and Trp106 residues, which are well conserved among members of the siglec family.

26. Roberts DL, Weix DJ, Dahms NM, Kim JJ Molecular basis of lysosomal enzyme recognition: three-dimensional structure of the cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. Cell. 93:1998;639-648. The X-ray crystal structure of the extracytoplasmic domain of the cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor in complex with mannose 6-phosphate is presented. The structure is found to be dimeric, each monomer possessing a fold that is very similar to that of avidin. The complex shows the importance of the 6-phosphate moiety, as well as of a bound manganese ion. A hypothetical model of a high-affinity complex with β-glucuronidase is also presented.

J Biol Chem. 274:1999;1164-1171. Cross-linking of the insulin-like growth factor II/cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (IGF-II/CI-MPR) by β-glucuronidase is found to increase the internalization of the lysosomal enzyme. Receptor dimerization is proposed to promote the incorporation of ligand-bound receptors into clathrin-coated pits.

The X-ray crystal structure of galectin-7, both free and in complex with galactose, galactosamine, lactose and N-acetyllactosamine, is described. This structure provides the first evidence for a noncanonical carbohydrate-recognition domain arrangement among members of the galectin family.

J Biol Chem. 273:1998;13047-13052. This paper describes the X-ray crystal structure of the carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) from galectin-3 in complex with N-acetyllactosamine. The structure shows that the canonical galectin-1/-2 dimer interface has been eliminated, but that a second mode of CRD-CRD interaction may be possible. In addition, the structure provides insight into the basis of its oligosaccharide- and RNA-binding properties.

EMBO J. 18:1999;2313-2322. The X-ray crystal structure of tachylectin-2 in complex with N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is described. The structure reveals a new lectin fold and is the first example of a five-bladed β-propeller protein. The planar arrangement of five carbohydrate-binding sites is consistent with a role in binding the terminal GlcNAc moieties typical of certain Gram-positive bacteria.
