A new mannose-recognizing lectin (MOL) was purified on an asialofetuin-column from fruiting bodies ofMarasmius oreadesgrown in Japan. The lectin (MOA) from the fruiting bodies of the same fungi is well known to be a ribosome-inactivating type lectin that recognizes blood-group B sugar. However, in our preliminary investigation, MOA was not found in Japanese fruiting bodies ofM. oreades, and instead, MOL was isolated. Gel filtration showed MOL is a homodimer noncovalently associated with two subunits of 13 kDa. The N-terminal sequence of MOL was blocked. The sequence of MOL was determined by cloning from cDNA and by protein sequencing of enzyme-digested peptides. The sequence shows mannose-binding motifs of bulb-type mannose-binding lectins from plants, and similarity to the sequences. Analyses of sugar-binding specificity by hemagglutination inhibition revealed the preference of MOL toward mannose and thyroglobulin, but asialofetuin was the strongest inhibitor of glycoproteins tested. Furthermore, glycan-array analysis showed that the specificity pattern of MOL was different from those of typical mannose-specific lectins. MOL preferred complex–type N-glycans rather than high-mannose N-glycans.
