The mannose-specific lectin domains of Flo1p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lg-Flo1p from S. pastorianus: crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the adhesin–carbohydrate complexes

The N-terminal carbohydrate-binding domains of Flo1p and Lg-Flo1p from two different Saccharomyces spp. were overexpressed in E. coli, purified and crystallized in different conditions. A preliminary X-ray analysis of the crystallized flocculin–protein complexes is reported in this work.
