omer through the 2-fold axis. Four main hydrogen bonds are
also established between the side chains of Asp263 and Ser283
and between the Trp312 nitrogen side chain and backbone carbonyl backbone of Leu59.
This dimerization mode creates a back to back association
of the two cylinder-shaped monomers. It closes the internal
cavities on the N terminus side of the inner strand but leaves
the other side of the cavity (i.e. the most open one) accessible to
solvent. The fucose binding sites are exposed on each side of the
dimer, at distances ranging from 50 to 70 from each other.
Fucose Binding SitesThe crystal structure of the complex
between AAL and fucose reveals five fucose residues bound per
monomer (Fig. 1, A and B). These are located between consecutive blades, in binding sites consisting of pockets at the external face of the cylinder (Fig. 1E). For simplicity, the site located
between blades I and II will be named site I, and the following
ones will be named consecutively. The site between blades VI
and I, which would have been referred as site VI, does not
contain any electron density corresponding to a bound fucose
molecule. The contacts observed in the five sites of monomer A
and monomer B are listed in Table III. The two monomers are
almost equivalent, with the exception of marginal contact with
symmetry-derived monomers in site IV of A and site V of B.
Therefore, only the sites of monomer A are described more
lengthily and shown in Fig. 2.
The five fucose binding sites are not equivalent, but they
have the same architecture and present invariant features.
They are made up in the crevasse between two adjacent blades,
and it is mostly amino acids of the four strands (rather than the
loops) in each blade that participate in binding. As displayed in
the alignment of sequence repeats in Fig. 1D, amino acids of
blade i can therefore participate in site i or site i 1. Conserved features of the binding sites consist of five hydrogen
bonds between fucose and protein (Fig. 2); for fucose in site i,
they involve the side chain of three highly conserved residues,
Arg of strand 2 i, Glu of strand 3 i and Trp of strand
4 (i 1). These five hydrogen bonds make a compact
network, the geometry of which is strictly conserved in the five
binding sites. In addition to NH2 of Arg donating a hydrogen
bond to the fucose ring oxygen, two cooperative sets of bonds

are created; NE1 of the site Trp gives a hydrogen bond to O-3
that in turn donates a hydrogen bond to one acidic oxygen of
the site Glu, whereas NE of Arg is bridged to the other oxygen
of Glu via OH-4 of the fucose.
The second part of the binding site is characterized by a
hydrophobic region. The closer and most conserved hydrophobic contact involves a Trp/Tyr residue at the extremity of 4
(i 1). The aromatic ring stacks against the flat nonpolar face
of fucose, with contacts with the methine and methyl groups at
C-4, C-5, and C-6. The conserved isoleucine residue of strand
2 (i 1) establishes additional hydrophobic contact with the
methyl group at C-6 of fucose. Longer distance contact involves
the conserved Trp of strand 1 i.
The interactions described above leave hydroxyl groups O-1
and O-2 exposed to solvent. In all sites, fucose interacts with a
number of water molecules that varies between two and five.
The mean hydration number of fucose is four, which is an
unusually high value for a monosaccharide in a protein binding
site. Analysis of the water molecules hydrogen-bound to the
sugar indicates that they are not randomly scattered but can be
clustered in different sites. Fig. 3 illustrates the seven sites
that have been identified. W4 occupies roughly the position of
backbone NH in the sites where the connecting loop between
blades does not come into contact with the fucose. Interestingly, almost none of these water molecules establish hydrogen
bond directly to the protein but are rather in contact with other
water molecules from the solvent. The only exception, W7,
stabilizes the -anomer in site IV (see below), by bridging the
O-1a to the OH of Tyr241 in both A and B monomers.
Since the six -propeller blades are not identical, there are
some differences between the five binding sites (Fig. 2). First,
fucose is not bound in the same configuration in the different
sites. In both monomers, the sugar in binding sites I, III, and V
adopts the -configuration (equatorial O-1), whereas it is
bound in the -configuration (axial O-1) in binding site IV. In
binding site II, both anomers can be identified in the electron
density with an / population of 35/65 and 55/45 in monomers
A and B, respectively. This selection of anomeric configuration
can be correlated to differences in the architecture of the binding sites. The number of hydrogen bonds between fucose and
protein varies from five to seven: five in sites I, III, and V; six
in site IV; and seven in site II. When looking at the differences
between individual binding sites, it appears that I, III, and V
are very similar. In these three sites, hydroxyl groups O-1 and
O-2 of the fucose ligand are exposed to the solvent and do not
participate in binding to the protein. On the other hand, in
binding sites II and IV, the outermost external -strand of the
blade is oriented slightly differentially, and the beginning of
the interblade connecting loops is in contact with fucose. This
results in hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl group at O-2
and the backbone amide nitrogen of Gln101 and Gly203 in sites
II and IV, respectively. In site II, Gln101 also interacts via its
side chain, resulting in a deeper binding site.
In aqueous solution, the two configurations of fucose exchange freely by tautomerization. In the crystal, the -anomer
is fixed in three binding sites, and the -anomer is fixed in one.
It has been checked that this selection does not arise from
steric hindrance and that both anomers could fit in all sites. It
seems more likely that the complex network of water molecules
and the presence or absence of the contacting loop at O-2
influence the selection.
Analysis of the crevasse between blade VI and blade I, where
fucose does not bind, indicates that there is indeed a pocket
between the two blades. Nevertheless, two of the polar amino
acids responsible for hydrogen bonding of fucose are missing:
Ser277 instead of Arg and Gln299 instead of Glu in blade VI.

rather high number of -propellers with known crystal structures are carbohydrate-active enzymes, such as the five-fold
-L-arabinanase (36), the six-fold sialidase/neuraminidase (37)
and glucose dehydrogenase (38), and the seven-fold galactose
oxidase (39). The only lectin that has been identified as a
-propeller is tachylectin-2 (40). It consists of five blades with
highly similar repeats and five GlcNAc-binding sites located
between the blades. When comparing overall structures and
carbohydrate binding sites, there are no similarities between
AAL and tachylectin-2 (Fig. 5). The overall shape of tachylectin-2 is disklike, and the amino acids involved in the carbohydrate binding sites are located in long loops and not in
-strands as in AAL. It therefore seems that there is no phylogenic relationship between these two lectins.
The DALI program (41) was used to identify proteins with
close structural similarities available in the Protein Data Bank
(42). The highest scoring hits were then structurally aligned
with the structure comparison tool of the Proceryon software
(ProCeryon Biosciences). Structures most similar to AAL are
sialidases of various origins. The bacterial Salmonella typhimurium LT2 neuraminidase (43) (Protein Data Bank code
2SIM) and Micromonospora viridifaciens sialidase (44) (Protein Data Bank code 1EUT) superimpose on the AAL main
chain C- coordinates with r.m.s. values of 2.35 for 212 amino
acids and 2.38 for 206 amino acids, respectively. An almost
identical superimposition (2.49 for 208 amino acids) was
obtained for the eukaryotic trans-sialidase from leech (45) (Protein Data Bank code 2SLI). The comparison of AAL with bacterial sialidase is shown in Fig. 5. Structural sequence alignment only confirms the conservation of hydrophobic amino
acids that line the junction zone of the blades. No clear sequence similarities could be detected, and of the nine catalytic

amino acids responsible for cleaving the sialic acid from glycoconjugates, only two are conserved in the AAL sequence. At the
present stage, it is difficult to conclude whether a phylogenetic
link exists between sialidases and AAL.
Most of the different propeller superfamilies have evolved in
rigidifying the structure by a Velcro closure that brings together the C- and N-terminal moiety as part of the same blade
(i.e. the C-terminal peptide in the position of strand 1 of the
first blade (or alternatively the N-terminal peptide as strand 4
of the last blade)). AAL does bring the two extremities of the
chain together in antiparallel association but in a different
domain, independent from the blade, looking therefore more
like a zipper than Velcro.
AAL Repeats in Pathogenic MicroorganismsAAL-like lectins have been purified using fucose affinity columns from the
fruiting bodies of other mushrooms. The sequence identity of 12
amino acids of 20 has been demonstrated between the N-terminal sequence of a lectin from another ascomycete mushroom,
Melastiza chateri, and AAL (46).
Ascomycetes fungi also include species that can be pathogenic to plants or animals. Two proteins presenting six sequence repeats highly similar to the ones of AAL have been
recently identified in two Aspergillus species: Aspergillus
oryzae (47), a plant pathogen used for fermentation of rice in
sake production, and A. fumigatus,3 a saprophytic fungal that
can turn into a dangerous human pathogen in hospital environments. These two lectin sequences have 82% identity and
display about 30% identity with the AAL sequence. The 310amino acid protein from A. oryzae has hemagglutinin activity
that is inhibited by L-fucose, whereas D-mannose and neuraminic acids are only weak inhibitors (47). The 314-amino acid
protein from A. fumigatus is described as fucose-lectin in the
sequence deposition but also seems to correspond to a recently
described 32-kDa protein specific for sialic acid (48). This discrepancy is hypothesized to result from differences in strains or
culture conditions.
The AAL repeat has also been identified in a different organism, the plant pathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum
