Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

Lectin that specifically binds to L-fucose (PubMed:2193930, PubMed:2666154, PubMed:7397108, PubMed:18493851, PubMed:21945439, PubMed:27650323, PubMed:28800497, PubMed:14503859, PubMed:12732625).

Has strongest preference for the alpha-1,6-fucosylated chain (core fucose) on glycoproteins among alpha-1,2-, alpha-1,3-, alpha-1,4-, and alpha-1,6-fucosylated chains (PubMed:17383961, PubMed:19109923, PubMed:20798114, PubMed:22226468).

Might play a role in the differentiation of the fruiting body (PubMed:2193930).

Exhibits antifungal activity against Mucor racemosus and thus could act as an antifungal protein in natural ecosystems (PubMed:22738968).

AAL's binding activity could be used to identify secreted fucosylated glycoproteins that may represent candidate biomarkers for cancer since fucosylation of N-linked glycans has been associated with several types of cancer such as liver cancer (PubMed:22789673, PubMed:24027776, PubMed:27650323). Identified as one of the several suitable fluorescently labeled lectins that can be used in a combination for the visualization and quantification of extracellular glycoconjugates in dental supragingival biofilms grown for 48 hours in situ in the absence of dietary carbohydrates (PubMed:28748044).4 Publications

AAL adopts the six-bladed beta-propeller fold and contains 5 binding sites per monomer, each located between two adjacent blades (PubMed:14503859, PubMed:12732625). Residues conserved at 5 of the 6 sites, are located on the surface of the AAL and directly contribute to fucose recognition (PubMed:14503859). Because the corresponding residues forming site 6 are not conserved, this site cannot be considered to accommodate fucose molecules (PubMed:14503859). The 5 binding sites that are non-equivalent, and owing to minor differences in amino-acid composition they exhibit a marked difference in specific ligand recognition (PubMed:18493851, PubMed:12732625).3 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1.
