D-galactose specific lectin. Binds in decreasing order of affinity: melibiose, methyl-alpha-D-galactoside, D-galactose, methyl-beta-D-galactoside, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. Similar to plant lectins in its selective (carbohydrate-specific) hagglutinating activity.
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectins PA-1L and PA-2L are controlled by quorum sensing and by RpoS.Winzer K., Falconer C., Diggle S.P., Garber N.C., Camara M., Williams P.Complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, an opportunistic pathogen.Stover C.K., Pham X.-Q.T., Erwin A.L., Mizoguchi S.D., Warrener P., Hickey M.J., Brinkman F.S.L., Hufnagle W.O., Kowalik D.J., Lagrou M., Garber R.L., Goltry L., Tolentino E., Westbrock-Wadman S., Yuan Y., Brody L.L., Coulter S.N., Folger K.R. , Kas A., Larbig K., Lim R.M., Smith K.A., Spencer D.H., Wong G.K.-S., Wu Z., Paulsen I.T., Reizer J., Saier M.H.
