The amino acid sequences of the major lectins from the seeds of Dioclea lehmanni and Canavalia maritima were determined by DABITC/PITC microsequence analysis of peptides derived from the proteins by enzymatic digestions with trypsin, chymotrypsin and the protease from S. aureus V8. These sequences
The complete amino acid sequence of the major alpha subunit of the lectin from seeds of Dioclea grandiflora was determined. The sequence was deduced from analysis of peptides derived from the native alpha subunit by digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, the Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, and
Entomotoxic plant lectins have been extensively studied in the past two decades, yet the exact mechanisms underlying their toxic effects remain unknown. This study investigated the effects of Dioclea violacea lectin (DVL) on larval development in Anagasta kuehniella. Chronic exposure of larvae (from
