Experiment to be conducted : To identify the carbohydrate-receptor of a putative bacterial adhesin FimH. We cloned and purified the lectin domain of this bacterial adhesin FimH. The lectin domain contain a C-terminal His-tag, used for purification. Objectives for the glycan array experiment: 1) to identify all glycans that bind specifically to the FimH lectin domain, 2) Determine the affinities for these carbohydrate ligands.
Within Scope of Consortium : Y
If yes, indicate the person responsible for inputing data into core B : Information not entered/not applicable.
GBP being Addressed : Information not entered/not applicable.
Specifc aims being addressed : Define the specificity and affinity for carbohydrate ligands. Identify the ligand(s) that mediate GBP binding.
