Subunit structure of Vicia graminea anti-(blood-group N) lectin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subunit of the Vicia graminea lectin with blood-group-N specificity was examined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and gel filtration in 6M-guanidinium chloride, and its molecular weights was found to be 25 000. The unique N-terminal sequence fof the first nine residues of the lectin confirmed that Vicia lectin consists of four identical chains non-covalently linked. Finally the microheterogeneity of the lectin shown by analytical isoelectric focusing is discussed.

The 2.2 A resolution structure of the O(H) blood-group-specific lectin I from Ulex europaeus.
The tertiary and quaternary structure of the lectin I from Ulex europaeus (UE-I) has been determined to 2.2 A resolution. UE-I is a dimeric metalloglycoprotein that binds the H-type 2 human blood group determinant [alpha-L-Fucalpha(1-->2)-beta-D-Galbeta(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc NAcalpha-]. Nine changes from the published amino acid sequence were necessary to account for the electron density. The quate...

متن کاملThe B4 lectin from Vicia villosa seeds interacts with N-acetylgalactosamine residues alpha-linked to serine or threonine residues in cell surface glycoproteins.
We have examined the carbohydrate binding specificity of the B4 lectin from Vicia villosa seeds. The B4 lectin agglutinates Tn-exposed erythrocytes specifically and binds to these erythrocytes (1.4 X 10(6) sites/cell) with an association constant of 4.2 X 10(7) M-1. The concentrations of saccharides and glycopeptides of defined structure which cause 50% inhibition of B4 lectin binding to Tn-exp...
متن کاملCell surface molecules containing N-acetylgalactosamine are associated with basket cells and neurogliaform cells in cat visual cortex.
In the cerebral cortex, the plant lectin Vicia villosa (VVA) selectively stains the surfaces of nonpyramidal neurons. This lectin binds specifically to alpha- and beta-linked N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNac). VVA-reactive carbohydrate is highly concentrated in layer 4 of the primary visual cortex of the cat, where it is associated exclusively with GABAergic local circuit neurons. We have studied ...
متن کاملThe cDNA derived primary structure of two distinct legumin A subunit precursors from field bean (Vicia faba L.).
Legumin-like (US) storage globulins of legume seeds are oligomeric proteins consisting of six subunits (1). Each subunit is composed of two disulfide-linked polypeptide chains (2), both are primarily synthesized as one propolypeptide precursor (3). Two main, predominating legumin subunit groups (i.e. group A or I, and group B or IT) have been described (2, 3, 4, 5); here we present the first fu...
