چکیده
Using an aMnity adsorbent prepared from L-fucose and starch, a lectin was isolated from fruit bedies of an ascomycete mushroom, IVdlelastiza ch teri. The lectin was found to cross-react with antiserum against Aleuria aurantia lectin (AAL), that had been obtained £ rom another ascomycete mushroom. The N-termina] amino acid sequence was analyzed, and among 20 residues 12 were the same as AAL. The molecular mass of the lectin estimated by SDS-PAGE was approximately 40 kDa, which is larger than that ef AAL. Myce]ial isolate was

A haemagglutinin from the medicinal fungus Cordyceps militaris.
There are only a few reports on agglutinins from ascomycete and medicinal fungi. An HA (haemagglutinin), with an N-terminal amino acid sequence different from those of known lectins, was isolated in the present study from dried fruiting bodies of the medicinal ascomycete fungus Cordyceps militaris. The purification protocol consisted of affinity chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography and g...

A lectin designated as Hericium erinaceum agglutinin (HEA) was isolated from dried fruiting bodies of the mushroom Hericium erinaceum with a chromatographic procedure which entailed DEAE-cellulose, CM-cellulose, Q-Sepharose, and FPLC Superdex 75. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 51 kDa and its N-terminal amino acid sequences was distinctly different from those of other isolated mushroom l...
متن کاملPurification, characterization and cloning of a ricin B-like lectin from mushroom Clitocybe nebularis with antiproliferative activity against human leukemic T cells.
BACKGROUND Lectins are a diverse group of carbohydrate-binding proteins exhibiting numerous biological activities and functions. METHODS Two-step serial carbohydrate affinity chromatography was used to isolate a lectin from the edible mushroom clouded agaric (Clitocybe nebularis). It was characterized biochemically, its gene and cDNA cloned and the deduced amino acid sequence analyzed. Its ac...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Lacking Wheat Germ Agglutinin Binding Sites Useful Enzyme for Lectin Assays with Comparable Activity to the Calf Enzyme
Despite the availability of various alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes, the calf enzyme is being used in current enzyme assays as the detector enzyme. The glycosylation pattern of this enzyme makes it a suitable ligand for binding to wheat germ agglutinin lectin (WGA). As a result of this property, the enzyme can not be used as a conjugate with this lectin, and the calf enzyme conjugates can...
