Thermodynamic binding studies of bivalent oligosaccharides to galectin-1, galectin-3, and the carbohydrate recognition domain of galectin-3.
Galectins are a growing family of animal lectins with common consensus sequences that bind beta-Gal and LacNAc residues. There are at present 14 members of the galectin family; however, certain galectins possess different structures as well as biological properties. Galectin-1 is a dimer of two homologous carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) and possesses apoptotic and proinvasive activities...
متن کاملStudies on the Carbohydrate Binding
The binding of carbohydrates to the hemelytic lectin CEL-III isolated from the marine inyertebrate dacumaria echinata was studied. Equilibrium dialysis data s"ggest that CEL-III has two carbohydrate-binding sites with equal aMnity. The binding of specific carbohydrates to CEL-III i"duces a decrease in the fluorescence intensity at 339 nm and the shift of the fluorescence emission maximum to a w...
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
Promiscuity of the Euonymus Carbohydrate-Binding Domain
Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the 'classical' plant lectins that are mostly located in the vacuolar compartment, this new class of inducible lectins is present in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Takin...
