UNASSIGNED: P. ginseng-derived pectin was chromatographically isolated and enzymatically digested to obtain a series of polysaccharides. Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) quantified their binding affinity to Gal-8, and their inhibitory effects on Gal-8 was assessed by hemagglutination, cell migration and T-cell apoptosis.
UNASSIGNED: Our ginseng-derived pectin polysaccharides consist mostly of rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) and homogalacturonan (HG). BLI shows that Gal-8 binding rests primarily in RG-I and its β-1,4-galactan side chains, with sub-micromolar KD values. Both N- and C-terminal Gal-8 CRDs bind RG-I, with binding correlated with Gal-8-mediated function.
UNASSIGNED: P. ginseng RG-I pectin β-1,4-galactan side chains are crucial to binding Gal-8 and antagonizing its function. This study enhances our understanding of galectin-sugar interactions, information that may be used in the development of pharmaceutical agents targeting Gal-8.
■P.将人参来源的果胶进行色谱分离并酶消化以获得一系列多糖。生物层干涉法(BLI)量化了它们对Gal-8的结合亲和力,并通过血凝评估了它们对Gal-8的抑制作用,细胞迁移和T细胞凋亡。
■我们的人参衍生的果胶多糖主要由鼠李糖半乳糖醛酸-I(RG-I)和高半乳糖醛酸(HG)组成。BLI显示Gal-8结合主要位于RG-I及其β-1,4-半乳聚糖侧链,具有亚微摩尔KD值。N端和C端Gal-8CRD都结合RG-I,结合与Gal-8介导的功能相关。
■P.人参RG-I果胶β-1,4-半乳聚糖侧链对于结合Gal-8和拮抗其功能至关重要。这项研究增强了我们对半乳糖凝集素-糖相互作用的理解,可用于开发靶向Gal-8的药物的信息。
