A New Galactose-Specific Lectin from Clerodendrum infortunatum
Background: The ethno-medical significance of Clerodendrum genus raises the interest towards the characterization of its seed lectin by inexpensive and most effective technique.Objective: The focus of this study is the purification, characterization, and evaluation of the antioxidant and antiproliferative potential of a galactose-specific lectin from Cler...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of a human macrophage lectin specific for galactose.
The murine Mac-2 protein is a galactose- and IgE-binding lectin secreted by inflammatory macrophages. We describe here the cloning and characterization of a cDNA representing the human homolog of Mac-2 (hMac-2). The amino acid sequence derived from the hMac-2 cDNA indicates that the protein is evolutionarily highly conserved, with 85% of its amino acid residues being similar to those in the mur...
متن کاملCarbohydrate binding activities of Bradyrhizobium japonicum. II. Isolation and characterization of a galactose-specific lectin
Extracts of Bradyrhizobium japonicum were fractionated on Sepharose columns covalently derivatized with lactose. Elution of the material that was specifically bound to the affinity column with lactose yielded a protein of Mr approximately 38,000. Isoelectric focusing of this sample yielded two spots with pI values of 6.4 and 6.8. This protein specifically bound to galactose-containing glycoconj...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of the core-specific lectin from human serum and liver.
A lectin that displays specificity for the core region of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides (Man3GlcNAc2-Asn) was isolated from human serum and liver by affinity chromatography on mannan-Sepharose. The designation 'core-specific lectin' (CSL) is used to indicate its specificity. Selective elution of human CSL from mannan-Sepharose was accomplished with 50 mM-mannose. Two additional proteins th...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of a New D-Galactose-Specific Lectin from the Housefly, Musca domestica, and Its Antiproliferative Effect on Human K562 and MCF-7 Tumor Cells
In the present work, a D-galactose-specific lectin with novel N-terminal sequence was purified from Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) pupae. The purification was performed using affinity chromatography, ultra-filtration, and HPLC. The haemagglutinating activity of M. domestica lectin was specifically inhibited by D-galactose. The haemagglutinating activity of this lectin was stable at temp...
