Glycosyl moiety of the lima bean lectin.

چکیده
Pronase digestion of the lima bean lectin (Phaseolus lunatus (alpha-D-GalNAc greater than alpha-D-Gal)) afforded a glycopeptide of molecular weight 1380. Amino acid and carbohydrate analysis showed the glycopeptide to contain fucose, mannose, glucosamine, and aspartic acid in the molar ratios, 0.8:4.4:1.9:1.0. Methylation analysis, Smith degradation, and sequential degradation by specific glycosidases permit the formulation of a tentative structure:.

The sequence of a second member of the lima bean lectin gene family and the expression and characterization of recombinant lectin in Escherichia coli.
The lima bean lectin recognizes terminal alpha-D-GalNAc groups and agglutinates human type A erythrocytes. We have cloned a portion of the gene encoding the alpha subunit of the lima bean lectin. The clone was obtained using the polymerase chain reaction and verified from a genomic clone encoding the mature protein of 253 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence has significant overall homo...
متن کاملPhotoaffinity labeling of the adenine binding site of the lectins from lima bean, Phaseolus lunatus, and the kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris.
8-Azidoadenine was employed as a photoaffinity probe of the adenine binding site of the seed lectin from lima beans and from Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin. This compound was shown to (a) bind competitively to the adenine binding site of these lectins and (b) exhibit enhanced binding in the presence of 1,8-anilinonaphthalenesulfonic acid in the same manner as adenine. The presence or abse...
متن کاملEffect of carbohydrate and metal ion binding on the reactivity of the essential thiol groups of lima bean lectin.
A free sulfhydryl group previously has been shown to be required for carbohydrate binding to the lectin from lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) (Gould, N. R. and Scheinberg, S. L. (1970) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 141, 607-613). Modification of this group by sulfhydryl reagents was specifically inhibited by D-GalNAc. We have further examined the reactivity of sulfhydryl groups in lima bean lectin with ...

The carbohydrate binding stoichiometry of lima bean lectin component III was reexamined using equilibrium dialysis and quantitative affinity chromatography following limited chemical modification. Equilibrium dialysis employing methyl[2-‘4Clbenzamido2-deoxy-cu-D-galactopyranoside as ligand demonstrated that the lectin tetramer bound 4 mol of sugar with K,,,, = 1.44 + 0.13 X lo3 M-’ (T = 5”C, pH...
متن کاملXyloglucan endotransglycosylase: evidence for the existence of a relatively stable glycosyl-enzyme intermediate.
Xyloglucan endotransglycosylases (XETs) catalyse the breakdown of xyloglucan molecules predominantly by transglycosylation. In this process, fragments of cleaved polysaccharide are preferentially transferred to other xyloglucan molecules or their oligosaccharide subunits, with overall retention of the anomeric configuration of the glycosidic bond. In accordance with the theory, we propose that ...
