Galactose-binding domain-like Proteins containing a galactose-binding domain-like fold can be found in several different protein families, in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The common function of these domains is to bind to specific ligands, such as cell-surface-attached carbohydrate substrates for galactose oxidase and sialidase, phospholipids on the outer side of the mammalian cell membrane for coagulation factor Va, membrane-anchored ephrin for the Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases, and a complex of broken single-stranded DNA and DNA polymerase beta for XRCC1. The structure of the galactose-binding domain-like members consists of a beta-sandwich, in which the strands making up the sheets exhibit a jellyroll fold. |
