The tetrameric plant lectin BanLec neutralizes HIV through bidentate binding to specific viral glycans.

Abstract:

Select lectins have powerful antiviral properties that effectively neutralize HIV-1 by targeting the dense glycan shield on the virus. Here, we reveal the mechanism by which one of the most potent lectins, BanLec, achieves its inhibition. We identify that BanLec recognises a subset of high-mannose glycans via bidentate interactions spanning the two binding sites present on each BanLec monomer that were previously considered separate carbohydrate recognition domains. We show that both sites ar...
