The leukocyte activation receptor CD69 controls T cell differentiation through its interaction with galectin-1 [PDF]
CD69 is involved in immune cell homeostasis, regulating the T cell-mediated immune response through the control of Th17 cell differentiation. However, natural ligands for CD69 have not yet been described.

Galectin-1(L11A) Predicted from a Computed Galectin-1 Farnesyl-Binding Pocket Selectively Inhibits Ras-GTP [PDF]
Abstract Ras biological activity necessitates membrane anchorage that depends on the Ras farnesyl moiety and is strengthened by Ras/galectin-1 interactions. We identified a hydrophobic pocket in galectin-1, analogous to the Cdc42 geranylgeranyl-binding cavity in RhoGDI, possessing homologous isoprenoid-binding residues, including the ...

Galectin-1 Regulates RNA Expression and Alternative Splicing of Angiogenic Genes in HUVECs
Background: Angiogenesis is essential for tissue development, and therefore its dysregulation can cause various diseases, including cerebrovascular disease. Galectin-1, encoded by the lectin galactoside-binding soluble-1 gene (LGALS1), has critical roles

From structural to functional glycomics: core substitutions as molecular switches for shape and lectin affinity of N-glycans [PDF]
Glycan epitopes of cellular glycoconjugates act as versatile biochemical signals (sugar coding). Here, we test the hypothesis that the common N-glycan modifications by core fucosylation and introduction of the bisecting N-acetylglucosamine moiety have ...

Galectin-1 receptors in different cell types
Galectins are a family of animal lectins defined by two properties: shared amino acid sequences in their carbohydrate-recognizing domain, and beta-galactoside affinity. A wide variety of biological phenomena are related to galectins, i.e., development, differentiation, morphogenesis, tumor metastasis, apoptosis, RNA splicing, and immunoregulatory ...

IL‐15‐engineered stem cell–NK cell complexes, assembled via bioorthogonal chemistry, enable effective lung cancer immunotherapy. Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells represent a powerful immunotherapeutic strategy due to their intrinsic cytotoxicity and ability to target tumor cells independently of antigen presentation.

Galectin-1-Induced Autophagy Facilitates Cisplatin Resistance of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in Taiwan. Although chemotherapy is the primary treatment for HCC patients, drug resistance often leads to clinical failure.

Human thymic epithelial cells express an endogenous lectin, galectin-1, which binds to core 2 O-glycans on thymocytes and T lymphoblastoid cells. [PDF]
Thymic epithelial cells play a crucial role in the selection of developing thymocytes. Thymocyte-epithelial cell interactions involve a number of adhesion molecules, including members of the integrin and immunoglobulin superfamilies.

Galectin-1 Pulls the Strings on VEGFR2 [PDF]
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cancer immunotherapy targets angiogenesis but development of resistance in patients is common. In this issue of Cell, Croci et al. identify a complex set of mechanisms by which galectin-1 prolongs cell-surface retention of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and stimulates VEGF-independent tumor angiogenesis.
