Abstract
Galectins are galactoside-binding lectins that are functional dimers or higher-order oligomers. Multivalent binding has been shown to augment the relatively low affinity of the galectins for their galactoside-binding partners, enabling the galectins to play an important role in the global remodeling of cells that occurs during the stress conditions of disease states, including heart disease and cancer. The presence of galectins in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and their galactoside-binding properties have been demonstrated, but the role of multivalent interactions for C. elegans galectins is unknown. Here, we describe the synthesis of Galβ1-4Fuc-functionalized poly(amidoamine) dendrimers and their utility in studies using C. elegans during oxidative stress. C. elegans were fed Galβ1-4Fuc-functionalized dendrimers and RNA interference to knock down lectins lec-1 and lec-10 while undergoing oxidative stress. C. elegans that were pretreated with the glycodendrimers were less susceptible to oxidative stress than untreated controls. Worms that were fed fluorescently tagged glycodendrimers and imaged indicated that the dendrimers are primarily present in the digestive tract of the worms, and uptake into the vulva and proximal gonads could also be observed in some instances. This study suggests that multivalently presented Galβ1-4Fuc can protect C. elegans from oxidative stress.

Abstract
Galectins are a family of lectins characterized by their carbohydrate recognition domains containing eight conserved amino acid residues, which allows the binding of galectin to β-galactoside sugars such as Galβ1-4GlcNAc. Since galectin-glycan interactions occur extracellularly, recombinant galectins are often used for the functional analysis of these interactions. Although it is relatively easy to purify galectins via affinity to Galβ1-4GlcNAc using affinity adsorbents such as asialofetuin-Sepharose, it could be difficult to do so with mutated galectins, which may have reduced affinity towards their endogenous ligands. However, this is not the case with Caenorhabditis elegans galectin LEC-6; binding to its endogenous recognition unit Galβ1-4Fuc, a unique disaccharide found only in invertebrates, is not necessarily affected by point mutations of the eight well-conserved amino acids. In this study, we constructed mutants of mouse galectin-1 carrying substitutions of each of the eight conserved amino acid residues (H44F, N46D, R48H, V59A, N61D, W68F, E71Q, and R73H) and examined their affinity for Galβ1-4GlcNAc and Galβ1-4Fuc. These mutants, except W68F, had very low affinity for asialofetuin-Sepharose; however, most of them (with the exception of H44F and R48H) could be purified using Galβ1-4Fuc-Sepharose. The affinity of the purified mutant galectins for glycans containing Galβ1-4Fuc or Galβ1-4GlcNAc moieties was quantitatively examined by frontal affinity chromatography, and the results indicated that the mutants retained the affinity only for Galβ1-4Fuc. Given that other mammalian galectins are known to bind Galβ1-4Fuc, our data suggest that immobilized Galβ1-4Fuc ligands could be generally used for easy one-step affinity purification of mutant galectins.

Abstract
Lectins are a large group of carbohydrate-binding proteins, having been shown to comprise at least 48 protein scaffolds or protein family entries. They occur ubiquitously in living organisms—from humans to microorganisms, including viruses—and while their functions are yet to be fully elucidated, their main underlying actions are thought to mediate cell-cell and cell-glycoconjugate interactions, which play important roles in an extensive range of biological processes. The basic feature of each lectin’s function resides in its specific sugar-binding properties. In this regard, it is beneficial for researchers to have access to fundamental information about the detailed oligosaccharide specificities of diverse lectins. In this review, the authors describe a publicly available lectin database named “Lectin frontier DataBase (LfDB)”, which undertakes the continuous publication and updating of comprehensive data for lectin-standard oligosaccharide interactions in terms of dissociation constants (Kd’s). For Kd determination, an advanced system of frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) is used, with which quantitative datasets of interactions between immobilized lectins and >100 fluorescently labeled standard glycans have been generated. The FAC system is unique in its clear principle, simple procedure and high sensitivity, with an increasing number (>67) of associated publications that attest to its reliability. Thus, LfDB, is expected to play an essential role in lectin research, not only in basic but also in applied fields of glycoscience.
