AAL-2 is a recently discovered lectin from the mushroom Agrocybe aegerita that specifically recognizes nonreducing terminal acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and that could be used as a probe in studies of protein O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamination (O-GlyNAcylation). In order to illustrate the mechanism of how this protein specifically recognizes nonreducing terminal GlcNAc and to evaluate the efficacy of AAL-2 as a macromolecular probe in O-GlyNAcylation studies, expression and crystallization studies ...[more]
