High mannose-type glycan-lectin interactions play important roles especially in quality control of glycoproteins. VIP36 is a receptor with homology to plant leguminous lectins in its luminal region. The luminal region of VIP36 with a C-terminal biotinylation-tag (sVIP36) was expressed in Escherichia coli and oligomerized with R-phycoerythrin (PE)-labelled streptavidin. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that PE-labelled sVIP36-SA complex (sVIP36-SA) bound to deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ)- and kifunensine (KIF)-treated HeLaS3 cells. The binding of sVIP36-SA to HeLaS3 cells treated with DMJ or KIF was abolished by endo-p-N-acetylglucosaminidase H treatment of the cells. Furthermore, the binding of sVIP36-SA to the cells was inhibited by high mannose-type glycans especially Man(7-9) GIcNAC(2), indicating that the binding of sVIP36-SA to cell surfaces was mediated by high mannose-type glycans. Although VIP36 has the lower affinity for ligands than typical homologous plant lectins, we were able to monitor the sugarbinding activity of VIP36 using less than 100ng of the sVIP36-SA. This method is highly sensitive and suitable for detecting interactions between lectins and sugar chains of low affinity.
