A rhamnose-binding glycoprotein (lectin), named SML, was isolated from the eggs of Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorous niphonius) by affinity and ion-exchange chromatographies. SML was composed of a non-covalently linked homodimer. The SML subunit was composed of 201 amino acid residues with two tandemly repeated domains, and contained 8 half-Cys residues in each domain, which is highly homologous to the N-terminal lectin domain of calcium-independent α-latrotoxin receptor in mammalian brains. Each domain has the same disulfide bonding pattern; Cys10–Cys40, Cys20–Cys99, Cys54–Cys86 and Cys67–Cys73 were located in the N-terminal domain, and Cys108–Cys138, Cys117–Cys195, Cys152–Cys182 and Cys163–Cys169 were in the C-terminal domain. SML was N-glycosylated at Asn168 in the C-terminal domain. The structure of the sugar chain was determined to be NeuAc-Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-2Manα1-6-(NeuAc-Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-2Manα1-3)Manβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-4GlcNAc-Asn.
