| Description | A bulb lectin super-family (Amaryllidaceae, Orchidaceae and Aliaceae) contains a ~115-residue-long domain whose overall three dimensional fold is very similar to that of [ , , ]:Dictyostelium discoideum comitin, an actin binding proteinCurculigo latifolia curculin, a sweet tasting and taste-modifying proteinThis domain generally binds mannose, but in at least one protein, curculin, it is apparently devoid of mannose-binding activity. Each bulb-type lectin domain consists of three sequential β-sheet subdomains (I, II, III) that are inter-related by pseudo three-fold symmetry. The three subdomains are flat four-stranded, antiparallel β-sheets. Together they form a 12-stranded β-barrel in which the barrel axis coincides with the pseudo 3-fold axis. |
