Purification of the lectin from Datura stramonium.
The lectin from Datura stramonium can be inhibited by oligomers of N-acetylglucosamine. This property was exploited to purify the lectin by affinity chromatography on Sepharosefetuin. The purified lectin is a glycoprotein in having subunits of 40 000 and 45 000 mol.wt.
متن کاملCarbohydrate binding studies on the lectin from Datura stramonium seeds.
The carbohydrate-binding properties of the Datura stramonium seed lectin were studied by equilibrium dialysis, quantitative precipitation of natural and synthetic glycoproteins, and hapten inhibition of precipitation. The dimeric lectin (Mr = 86,000) possesses two carbohydrate-binding sites for N,N'N",N"'- tetraacetylchitotetritol /mol protein, with an apparent Ka = 8.7 X 10(3) M-1 at 4 degrees...
متن کاملCarbohydrate binding properties of complex-type oligosaccharides on immobilized Datura stramonium lectin.
The carbohydrate binding specificity of Datura stramonium agglutinin was studied by analyzing the behavior of a variety of complex-type oligosaccharides on a D. Stramonium agglutinin-Sepharose column. Oligosaccharides which contain Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc-beta 1----4(Gal beta 1----GlcNAc beta 1----2)Man units are retarded in the column so long as the pentasaccharide unit is not substituted by oth...
متن کاملIsolation and biochemical characterization of Apios tuber lectin.
Apios tuber lectin, named ATL, was isolated from Apios americana Medikus by two chromatography steps, hydrophobic chromatography and anion-exchange chromatography. The minimum concentration required for the hemagglutination activity toward rabbit erythrocytes of ATL was 4 μg/mL. ATL was composed of a homodimer of 28.4 kDa subunits. The amino acid sequence of ATL was similar to those of other le...
متن کاملIsolation, cloning and functional characterization of porcine mannose-binding lectin.
Binding of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a C-type lectin, and its associated serine proteases, MASP-1 and MASP-2, to cell surface carbohydrates activates the lectin complement pathway. As MBL plays an important role in innate immunity, it has been cloned and characterized in several species. While the pig may be used as a source of organs/tissues for xenotransplantation, little is known about i...
