Crystal Structure of the Hemolytic Lectin CEL-III Isolated from the Marine Invertebrate Cucumaria echinata

CEL-III is a Ca 2+ -dependent and galactose-specific lectin purified from the sea cucumber, Cucumaria echinata , which exhibits hemolytic and hemagglutinating activities. Six molecules of CEL-III are assumed to oligomerize to form an ion-permeable pore in the cell membrane. We have determined the cr...
