Diversified Carbohydrate-Binding Lectins from Marine Resources
Marine bioresources produce a great variety of specific and potent bioactive molecules including natural organic compounds such as fatty acids, polysaccharides, polyether, peptides, proteins, and enzymes. Lectins are also one of the promising candidates for useful therapeutic agents because they can recognize the specific carbohydrate structures such as proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and glycoli...
متن کاملAn overview of lectins from freshwater and marine macroinvertebrates
Lectins are one of several types of biological resources considered as potential medicinal importance for therapeutic agents. The present review deals with variety, sugar specificity and the medicinal importance of lectins from freshwater and marine invertebrates. The potent medicinal usage of the various types of the lectins from freshwater and marine non-chordates, which are comparatively wel...
متن کاملDiverse sugar-binding specificities of marine invertebrate C-type lectins.
The sugar-binding specificities of C-type lectins isolated from marine invertebrates were investigated by frontal affinity chromatography (FAC) using 100 oligosaccharides. The lectins included BRA-2 and BRA-3, multiple lectins from the hemolymph of the acorn barnacle, Megabalanus rosa, and BRL from the acorn barnacle, Balanus rostatus. The diverse sugar-binding specificities of the C-type lecti...
متن کاملMarine sponge lectins: actual status on properties and biological activities.
Marine sponges are primitive metazoans that produce a wide variety of molecules that protect them against predators. In studies that search for bioactive molecules, these marine invertebrates stand out as promising sources of new biologically-active molecules, many of which are still unknown or little studied; thus being an unexplored biotechnological resource of high added value. Among these m...
متن کاملThe Cytotoxic Activity of Two D-galactose-binding Lectins Purified from Marine Invertebrates
The present investigation was undertaken in order to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of two D-galactose-binding lectins using the brine shrimp lethality bioassay technique. Both lectins were purified from the marine invertebrates, sea hare Aplysia kurodai eggs and polychaete Perineries nuntia by conventional affinity chromatography methods. The molecular mass of Aplysia kurodai egg lectin (AKL) w...
