Abstrakt: Agaricus bisporus mannose-binding protein (Abmb) was discovered as part of mushroom tyrosinase (PPO3) complex. Apart from its presence, nothing is known about its function or activity in the mushroom. The protein is evolutionarily related to lectins with β-trefoil fold, which are glucose or galactose (and their derivatives) binding proteins. Abmb is also recently showed to display the typical agglutination activity of lectin when in complex with PPO3; this further supports Abmb similarity to its structural homologs from lectin with β-trefoil fold. However, Abmb has no affinity towards glucose or galactose but for mannose, thus its binding to the sugar may be different from its homologs. To date, the natural ligand of Abmb is unknown and the structure of Abmb in the presence of a ligand is not available. Therefore, the mannose-binding site of Abmb was predicted using molecular docking, which was consulted with the information from its structural homologs. This conservative approach would prevent over-speculation. The mannose-binding site of Abmb is likely located in the same region to that of Abmb structural homologs but with a shift in position due to the presence of additional surface loop. In addition, benefiting from the information from an in vitro study on Abmb sugar specificity, the mannose poses suggested that the sugar might interact with the side chains of Arg15, Thr45, Gln48, Asp49, Asp51 and Arg51. Most of these residues were equally present in Abmb structural homologs despite variation of their positions in the amino acid sequence. The variation probably originates from alteration of its amino acid sequence during evolution.
