The potato lectin has been identified to consist of two chitin-binding modules, each containing twin hevein domains. Based on the thermotolerance of the hevein polypeptide, a simple, rapid, and effective protocol for the small-scale purification of the potato lectin has been developed in this study.
Potato lectin (Solanum tuberosum agglutinin, STA) is an unusual glycoprotein containing approximately 50% carbohydrates by weight. Of the total carbohydrates, 92% is contributed by L: -arabinose, which are O-linked to hydroxyproline residues. The ferric chloride-orcinol assay (Bial's test), which is
In the course of our continuous search for bioactive metabolites from endophytic fungi living in plants from the Brazilian flora, leaves of Alibertia macrophylla (Rubiaceae) were submitted to isolation of endophytes, and two species of Penicillium were isolated. The acetonitrile fraction obtained in
