Ligand specificities
The C-terminal triplet fucose-binding module (SpX-1.2.3) of protein toxin SpGH98, originating from the fucose utilization operon in Streptococcus pneumoniae, has been firstly designated as CBM47 [1]. Anguilla anguilla agglutinin (AAA), derived from the European eel, which was characterized earlier and initially classified as an F-type lectin [2], was also included in the CBM47 family. Several other members of CBM47 family, such as MsaFBP32 [3], LLYlec [4] and its mutant LLYlecY62H [5], have been confirmed to possess the F-type lectin fold. The aforementioned proteins are all capable of binding to polysaccharides containing fucose, often trisaccharides or smaller, such as AAA, and a portion of CBM47 members has been demonstrated to bind to polysaccharides with galactose [2]. Both of these sugars are ubiquitous in glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cell surface, playing crucial roles in cellular bioactivity and functions. Furthermore, the CBM47 family exhibits specific binding to Lewis blood group oligosaccharides, which are characterized by fucosylation modifications. For instance, LLYlec binds to both Lewis y (Ley) antigen (type 1 antigen) and Lewis b (Leb) antigen (type 2 antigen) [4], whereas AAA displays a preference for binding to the Ley antigen [2]. Consequently, the CBM47 family holds potential applications in immune recognition and disease diagnosis. Besides, a novel CBM47 domain was discovered from the marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica, which is appended to the GH168 family sequence. The CBM exhibited a specific binding capacity to sulfated fucans with the backbone composed of 1,3-α-L-fucopyranose residues [6].
Mention here all major natural ligand specificities that are found within a given family (also plant or mammalian origin). Certain linkages and promiscuity would also be mentioned here if biologically relevant.
Note: Here is an example of how to insert references in the text, together with the "biblio" section below: Please see these references for an essential introduction to the CAZy classification system: [7, 8]. CBMs, in particular, have been extensively reviewed [9, 10, 11, 12, 13].
