Multivalent interactions are a key characteristic of protein-carbohydrate recognition. Phospholipid-based liposomes have been explored as a popular platform for multivalent presentation of glycans, but this platform has been plagued by the instability of typical liposomal formulations in biological media. We report here the exploitation of catanionic vesicles as a stable lipid-based nanoparticle scaffold for displaying large natural N-glycans as multivalent ligands. Hydrophobic insertion of lipidated N-glycans into the catanionic vesicle bilayer was optimized to allow for high-density display of structurally diverse N-glycans on the outer membrane leaflet. In an enzyme-linked competitive lectin-binding assay, the N-glycan-coated vesicles demonstrated a clear clustering glycoside effect, with significantly enhanced affinity for the corresponding lectins including Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA), concanavalin A (ConA), and human galectin-3, in comparison with their respective natural N-glycan ligands. Our results showed that relatively low density of high-mannose and sialylated complex type N-glycans gave the maximal clustering effect for binding to ConA and SNA, respectively, while relatively high-density display of the asialylated complex type N-glycan provided maximal clustering effects for binding to human galectin 3. Moreover, we also observed a macromolecular crowding effect on the binding of ConA to high-mannose N-glycans when catanionic vesicles bearing mixed high-mannose and complex-type N-glycans were used. The N-glycan-coated catanionic vesicles are stable and easy to formulate with varied density of ligands, which could serve as a feasible vehicle for drug delivery and as potent inhibitors for intervening protein-carbohydrate interactions implicated in disease.
