Abstract
NMR of a uniformly (13)C-labeled carbohydrate was used to elucidate the atomic details of a sugar-protein complex. The structure of the (13)C-labeled Man?(1-2)Man?(1-2)Man?OMe trisaccharide ligand when bound to cyanovirin-N was characterized and revealed that in the complex the glycosidic linkage torsion angles between the two reducing-end mannoses are different from the free trisaccharide. Distances within the carbohydrate were employed for conformational analysis, and NOE-based distance mapping between sugar and protein revealed that Man?(1-2)Man?(1-2)Man?OMe is bound more intimately with its two reducing-end mannoses into the domain A binding site of CV-N than with the non-reducing end unit. Taking advantage of the (13)C spectral dispersion of (13)C-labeled carbohydrates in isotope-filtered experiments is a versatile means for a simultaneous mapping of the binding interactions on both, the carbohydrate and the protein.
