Selectively Modified Lactose and N-Acetyllactosamine Analogs at Three Key Positions to Afford Effective Galectin-3 Ligands

Shuay Abdullayev et al.

Summary: Lactose and N-Acetyllactosamine have been widely used ligands for galectins, but with limited selectivity. In this study, simultaneous modifications at the anomeric position, C-2, and O-3' of each sugar were performed, leading to a 3'-O-sulfated N-Acetyllactosamine analog with a significantly increased affinity of 14.7 μM against human Gal-3. The three best compounds contained sulfate groups at the O-3' position, which are in line with the highly cationic character of the Gal-3 binding site.

Molecular Recognition of Glycan-Bearing Glycomacromolecules Presented at Membrane Surfaces by Lectins: An NMR View

Marta G. Lete et al.

Summary: Lectin-glycan interactions play a central role in various biological events. The presentation of glycans in a multivalent manner on the cell surface allows for stronger binding affinity and selectivity. In this study, the interaction of lactose-functionalized glycomacromolecules and their lipid conjugates with human galectins was investigated using NMR experiments, cryo-electron microscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations in a cell-mimicking environment.

Tissue-specific control of galectin-1-driven circuits during inflammatory responses

Anabela M. Cutine et al.

Summary: The importance of glycan-binding proteins, especially galectins, in immune tolerance and inflammation has been well established. Galectin-1, as a prototype member of this protein family, displays mainly anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities but may also have pro-inflammatory effects under certain circumstances. Further studies on the regulation and function of galectins in different tissue microenvironments could lead to tailored therapeutic strategies for pathological inflammatory conditions.
