Abstract
A sialic acid-binding lectin (SRC) was created from the C-terminal domain of an R-type N-acetyl lactosamine-binding lectin (EW29Ch) by natural evolution-mimicry. Here, we clarified its sialic acid-binding mechanism using NMR spectroscopy. The NMR analysis showed differences between conformations of the 6'-sialyllactose-bound SRC in the solution state and that in the crystal state, and differences between the internal motion of the loop region in subdomain ? in SRC and that of the corresponding region in EW29Ch. The NMR analysis thus provided useful information to explain the manner of binding to 6'-sialyllactose in solution, which the previous X-ray crystal structure analysis lacked.

Comparison of backbone dynamics of the type III antifreeze protein and antifreeze-like domain of human sialic acid synthase
Abstract
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are found in a variety of cold-adapted (psychrophilic) organisms to promote survival at subzero temperatures by binding to ice crystals and decreasing the freezing temperature of body fluids. The type III AFPs are small globular proteins that consist of one α-helix, three 310-helices, and two β-strands. Sialic acids play important roles in a variety of biological functions, such as...
