Binding specificity of mannose-specific carbohydrate-binding protein from the cell surface of Trypanosoma cruzi.
The sugar binding specificity of the recently described mannose-specific carbohydrate-binding proteins (CBP) isolated to homogeneity from both the epimastigote and trypomastigote stages of the pathogenic protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi has been studied by quantitative hapten inhibition of the biotinylated CBPs to immobilized thyroglobulin using model oligosaccharides. The results clearly show a diff...
متن کاملPhysical characterization and crystallization of the carbohydrate-recognition domain of a mannose-binding protein from rat.
A portion of rat mannose-binding protein A (MBP-A), a Ca(2+)-dependent animal lectin, has been overproduced in a bacterial expression system, biochemically characterized, and crystallized. A fragment corresponding to the COOH-terminal 115 residues of native MBP-A, produced by subtilisin digestion of the bacterially expressed protein, contains the carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD). Gel filtr...

متن کاملبررسی سطح سرمی C–Reactive Protein Mannoseو Mannose–Binding Lectin در افراد مبتلا به درماتوفیتوزیس
Background: Interleukin8 (IL-8) realized from keratinocytes in the presence of dermatophytic antigens causesinduction of acute responses in dermatophyte infection and subsequently production of acute phaseproteins occurs in hepatocytes. C–reactive protein (CRP) and Mannose–binding lectin (MBL) areacute phase proteins. Since few researches in the case of acute phase proteins in dermatophyticinfe...
متن کاملStructural basis for the unusual carbohydrate-binding specificity of jacalin towards galactose and mannose.
Evidence is presented that the specificity of jacalin, the seed lectin from jack fruit (Artocarpus integrifolia), is not directed exclusively against the T-antigen disaccharide Galbeta1,3GalNAc, lactose and galactose, but also against mannose and oligomannosides. Biochemical analyses based on surface-plasmon-resonance measurements, combined with the X-ray-crystallographic determination of the s...
