The binding properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa agglutinin-I (PA-IL) with
glycoproteins (gps) and polysaccharides were studied by both the
biotin/avidin-mediated microtiter plate lectin-binding assay and the
inhibition of agglutinin-glycan interaction with sugar ligands. Among 36
glycans tested for binding, PA-IL reacted best with two glycoproteins
containing Galalpha1-->4Gal determinants and a human blood group ABO
precursor equivalent gp, but this lectin reacted weakly or not at all with
A and H active gps or sialylated gps. Among the mammalian disaccharides
tested by the inhibition assay, the human blood group Pkactive
Galalpha1-->4Gal, was the best. It was 7.4-fold less active than
melibiose (Galalpha1-->6Glc). PA-IL has a preference for the
alpha-anomer in decreasing order as follows: Galalpha1-->6
>Galalpha1-->4 >Galalpha1-->3. Of the monosaccharides studied,
the phenylbeta derivatives of Gal were much better inhibitors than the
methylbeta derivative, while only an insignificant difference was found
between the Galalpha anomer of methyl- and p -NO2-phenyl derivatives. From
these results, it can be concluded that the combining size of the
agglutinin is as large as a disaccharide of the alpha-anomer of Gal at
nonreducing end and most complementary to Galalpha1-->6Glc. As for the
combining site of PA-IL toward the beta-anomer, the size is assumed to be
less than that of Gal; carbon-6 in the pyranose form is essential, and
hydrophobic interaction is important for binding.
