Revised Manuscript Received June 16, 1992 abstract: We have previously shown that plant lectins with a wide range of carbohydrate binding specificities can bind and cross-link (precipitate) specific multiantennary oligosaccharidesand glycopeptides [cf. Bhattacharyya, L., Fant, J., Lonn, H., & Brewer, C. F.(1990) Biochemistry 29, 7523-7530]. This leads to a new source of binding specificity: namely, the formation of homogeneous cross-linked lattices between lectins and carbohydrates. Recently, we have demonstrated the existence of highly ordered cross-linked lattices that form between the D-Man/D-Glc-specific plant lectin concanavalin A and the soybean agglutinin which is a tetrameric glycoprotein possessing a single Man9 oligomannose chain per monomer[Khan, M. I., Mandal, DK, & Brewer, C. F.(1991) Carbohydr. Res. 213, 69-77]. In the present study, we have compared the ability of the 14-kDa/3-galactoside-specific lectinfrom calf spleen, a dimeric S-type animal lectin, and several galactose-specific plant lectins from Erythrina indica, Erythrina cristagalli, and Glycine max (soybean agglutinin) to form specific cross-linked complexes with asialofetuin (ASF), a 48-kDa monomeric glycoprotein, using quantitative precipitation analyses. The results show the formation of 1: 9 and 1: 3 stoichiometric cross-linkedcomplexes (per monomer) of ASF to the 14-kDa lectin, depending on their relative ratio in solution. Evidence indicates that the three triantennary N-linked complex-type oligosaccharide chains of ASF mediate the cross-linking interactions and that each chain expresses either trivalency in the 1: 9 cross-linked complex or univalency in the 1: 3 complex. The two dimeric Erythrina lectins also form 1: 9 and 1: 3 ASF-lectin cross-linked complexes as well as a lower ratio complex at high relative concentrations of ASF. In the presence of tetrameric soybean agglutinin, only a 1: 3 ASF-lectin cross-linked complex is formed, presumably due to the larger size of the agglutinin. Unlike the plant lectins, the 14-kDa lectin fails to precipitate with the free triantennary glycopeptide or oligosaccharide from ASF, or with other related branched-chain carbohydrates, which suggests that this may be an important difference in the cross-linking activities of the animal lectin compared to the plant lectins. Insight has also been obtained into the conformational properties of the triantennary oligosaccharide in cross-linkedcomplexes, and the factorsaffecting thevalency of the oligosaccharide chain attached to a protein matrix. The present results thus demonstrate that the 14-kDa animal lectin possesses similar but distinct cross-linking activities from several Gal-specific plant lectins toward a glycoprotein with well-defined carbohydrate epitopes. The findings are discussed in relation tothe biological properties of lectinsand their corresponding glycoconjugate receptors.Lectins are proteins which bind to the carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins and glycolipids which, in turn, havebeen implicated as receptors in a variety of biological recognition processes including cellular recognition, adhesion, signal transduction, and metastasis (Brandley & Schnaar, 1986; Lennarz, 1980; Monsigny, 1984). Lectins are widely distributed in nature, and are found in plants, microorganisms, bacteria, and animals (Kobata, 1984; Komfeld & Kornfeld, 1985; Nicol-son, 1976; Snider, 1984; Lis & Sharon, 1986). Because of their abundance and ease of isolation (Goldstein & Poretz, 1986), plant lectins have been widely used toinvestigate the binding epitopes of a variety of carbohydrates isolated from both normal and transformed cells (Lis & Sharon, 1986).
