solanum tuberosum lectin/ジャガイモ

Potato lectin of specific agglutinating activity of 10,000 units per mg was isolated. Chemical modifications of potato lectin with acetic and succinyl anhydrides or N-acety-limidazole result in complete loss of agglutinating activity. The lectin after reduction of disulfide bonds with dithiothreitol

1. Potato lectin is a glycoprotein that contains about 47% (by weight) l-arabinose, 3% d-galactose and 11% hydroxyproline. It has a monomeric molecular weight of about 50000 and probably exists as a monomer-dimer system in aqueous solution, with the monomer predominating. It has a very high

Potato lectin (Solanum tuberosum agglutinin, STA), purified by affinity chromatography on tri-N-acetylchitotriose-Sepharose 6B, has Mr approximately 100,000, as estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and is an aggregating system with a monomer Mr = 54,000, as estimated by sedimentation

A complete cDNA encoding a potato tuber lectin has been identified and sequenced. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence, the still enigmatic molecular structure of the classical chimeric potato lectin could eventually be determined. Basically, the potato lectin consists of two nearly identical

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) lectin, is a chimeric chitin-binding protein comprised of a lectin domain fused to a hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein domain. Here peptide sequence information from both domains is presented. A partial sequence of a major tryptic peptide T2:

Potato lectin (Solanum tuberosum agglutinin, STA) was found to contain fluorescent tryptophan residues highly exposed to solvent. The binding of chitin oligosaccharides to STA induced fluorescence quenching, a shift of the fluorescence maximum to shorter wavelength, a decrease in the quenching

A major factor in non-allergic food hypersensitivity could be the interaction of dietary lectins with mast cells and basophils. Because immunoglobulin E (IgE) contains 10-12% carbohydrates, lectins can activate and degranulate these cells by cross-linking the glycans of cell-bound IgE. The present

1. Modification of potato (Solanum tuberosum) lectin with acetic anhydride blocked 5.1 amino and 2.7 tyrosyl groups per molecule of lectin and decreased the haemagglutinating activity of the lectin. De-O-acetylation regenerated 2.0 of the tyrosyl groups and resulted in a recovery of activity. 2.

Precipitation of potato (Solanum tuberosum) lectin by antisera was not affected by treatments that abolish lectin activity. An antiserum precipitated glycosylated derivatives of the lectin but not a deglycosylated peptide. The haemagglutination inhibition titre of this antiserum was not affected by

The structure of potato (Solanum tuberosum) lectin, which is a hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein, has been investigated by circular dichroism. The spectra of the native lectin, and of the oxidized, reduced and carboxymethylated and deglycosylated derivatives were examined, as was a

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

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) lectin, which is a very highly glycosylated glycoprotein, has been completely deglycosylated by use of the trifluoromethanesulphonic acid reagent described by Edge, Faltnek, Hof, Reichert & Weber [(1981) Analyt. Biochem. 118, 131-137]. This shows that both

Solanum tuberosum lectin (STL) conjugated poly (DL-lactic-co- glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle (STL-NP) was constructed in this paper as a novel biodegradable nose-to-brain drug delivery system. The in vitro uptake study showed markedly enhanced endocytosis of STL-NP compared to unmodified PLGA

For the potential use of Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and Solanum tuberosum lectin (STL) as auxiliary excipients for targeting drugs to colonocytes, the number of Caco-2 and HT-29-bound lectins was determined by fluorimetry using fluorescein-labelled derivatives of the N-acetylglucosamine-specific

Recently, a lectin was purified from the potato cultivated in Bangladesh locally known as Sheel. In the present study cytotoxicity of the lectin against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells was studied by MTT assay in vitro in RPMI-1640 medium and 8.0-36.0 % cell growth inhibition was observed at
