Antifungal activity of lectins against yeast of vaginal secretion
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-imune origin. This group of proteins is distributed widely in nature and they have been found in viruses, microorganisms, plants and animals. Lectins of plants have been isolated and characterized according to their chemical, physical-chemical, structural and biological properties. Among their biological activities, we can stress its fungicidal a...
متن کاملCFTR degradation depends on the lectins Htm1p/EDEM and the Cdc48 protein complex in yeast
Cystic Fibrosis is the most widespread hereditary disease amongst the white population caused by different mutations of the apical membrane ABC transporter cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Its most common mutation ∆F508 leads to nearly complete degradation via ERAD. Elucidation of the quality control and degradation mechanisms might give rise to new therapeutic approa...
متن کاملLectins: To Combat Infections
The term “lectin” was coined by William Boyd in 1954 from the Greek word “legere” which means “to select” or “to bind”. Lectins and hemagglutinins are proteins/glycoproteins of non-immune origin, which have at least one non-catalytic domain that exhibits reversible binding to specific monosaccharides or oligosaccharides (Lis and Sharon, 1986). The lectinmonosaccharide interactions are relativel...
متن کاملNeisseriaceae and Lectins
The lectin slide agglutination test for Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been modified and improved. Results show that wheat germ agglutinin and soybean lectin agglutinate 100% (193 of 193 tested) of clinical isolates of N. gonorrhoeae. Lectin-reactive meningococci can be readily identified by the hydrolysis of gammaglutamyl-3-naphthylamide. Branhamella catarrhalis, Neisseria lactamica, Neisseria sicc...
متن کاملAffinity Chromatography of Lectins
Affinity chromatography is a technique used to purify compounds, such as proteins, that have the ability to non-covalently and reversibly bind specific molecules, known as ligands. This method differs from the classical chromatography techniques in that the protein is purified on the basis of a unique biochemical property. In affinity chromatography, the ligand is covalently attached to a matri...
