title: [Interaction of the Laburnum anagyroides lectin with fucoantigens].
abstract: We studied interaction of the lectin from the bark of Golden Rain shrub (Laburnum anagyroides, LABA) with a number of basic fucose-containing carbohydrate antigens by changes in its tryptophan fluorescence. The strongest LABA binding was observed for the trisaccharide H of type 6 [alpha-L-Fucp-(1-2)-beta-D-Galp-(1-4)-D-Glc, Ka= 4.2 x 10(3) M(-1)]. The following antigens were bound with a weaker affinity: H-disaccharide alpha-L-Fucp-(1-2)-D-Gal, a glucoanalogue of tetrasaccharide Ley alpha-L-Fucp-(1-2)-beta-D-Galp-(1-4)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1-3)]-D-Glc, and 6-fucosyl-N-acetylglucosamine, a fragment of core of the N-glycans family (Ka 1.1-1.7 x 10(3) M(-1)). The lowest binding was observed for L-fucose (Ka = 2.7 x 10(2) M-1) and trisaccharide Lea, (3-Galp-(1-3)-[a-L-Fucp-(1-4)]-GlcNAc (Ka = 6.4 x 10(2) M(-1)). The Lea, Lea, and Lex pentasaccharides and Leb hexasaccharide were not bound to LABA.
