The mannose-binding lectin domain of MSMEG_3662 from Mycobacterium smegmatis has been cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized and the crystals have been characterized using X-ray diffraction. The Matthews coefficient suggests the possibility of two lectin domains in the triclinic cell. The amino-acid sequence of the domain indicates structural similarity to well characterized β-prism II fold lectins.
耻垢分枝杆菌中MSMEG_3662的甘露糖结合凝集素结构域已被克隆、表达、纯化并结晶,且已使用X射线衍射对晶体进行了表征。马修斯系数表明在三斜晶胞中可能存在两个凝集素结构域。该结构域的氨基酸序列显示出与已充分表征的β-棱柱II折叠凝集素的结构相似性。
