glucosamine/glycine max

Treatment of suspension-cultured Glycine max cv Harosoy 63 cells with soluble chitosan (20-500 micrograms per milliliter) increased membrane permeability as shown by leakage of electrolytes, protein, and UV absorbing material. Severe damage to the cell membrane by chitosan (100 and 500 mug/ml) was

Dolichyl phosphate (C55) and dolichyl phosphate prepared from liver were incubated with an enzyme prepared from soya-bean protoplasts. They both stimulated the transfer of radioactivity from UDP-D-glucose to lipid, but the stimulation was greater with liver dolichyl phosphate. Liver dolichyl

The pharmacological and biochemical characteristics of soluble alpha 2-adrenoceptors were investigated to determine whether differences observed in membranes were maintained in solution and to probe the nature of any such differences. alpha 2-Adrenoceptors were solubilized from purified plasma

The zona pellucida glycoconjugate content of several marsupial species was investigated using differential lectin histochemistry. Ovaries from fat-tailed dunnarts, a southern brown bandicoot, grey short-tailed opossums, brushtail possums, ringtail possums, koalas and eastern grey kangaroos were

In the present study carbohydrate residues in taste buds (TBs) and adjacent epithelial formations of a teleostean fish, a frog and the rabbit were detected by means of lectin histochemistry. Biotinylated lectins from Pisum sativum (PSA), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Triticum

The antibiotics Streptovirudin and 24010 were tested to determine their effects on the formation of lipid-linked saccharide intermediates associated with glycoprotein biosynthesis in mung bean (Vigna radiata) and suspension-cultured soybean cells (Glycine max cv. Mandarin). In vitro both compounds

The binding of the legume lectins Phaseolus vulgaris E4 and L4, Glycine max agglutinin, Vicia faba agglutinin, and Pisum sativum agglutinin to intact differentiated Caco-2 cells and to brush border membranes of differentiated Caco-2 cells was investigated, and their impact on the cellular metabolism

Mucous cells and enteroendocrine cells of the pyloric region of the ruin lizard (Podarcis sicula campestris De Betta) have been examined by lectin histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. Binding to five plant lectins (Canavalia ensiformis, Con A; Triticum vulgare, wheat germ, WGL; Lotus

Distribution of lectin binding in the testis of the musk shrew, Suncus murinus, was investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy. Not only spermatogenic cells but also Sertoli cells bound some lectins. Canavalia ensiformis agglutinin (Con A) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA, Triticum

Mouse (C3H) mucosal glycoconjugates were examined in normal small intestines and intestines infected with Echinostoma caproni or E. trivolvis using six different fluorescein-conjugated lectins: Triticum vulgaris agglutinin (WGA), Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA-I), Ricinus communis agglutinin I

Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated lectins include: concanavalin A (Con-A), Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Griffonia simplicifolia-I (GS-I), Griffonia simplicifolia-II (GS-II), Arachis hypogaea agglutinin (PNA), Maclura pomifera agglutinin (MPA), Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I),

The turkey sperm glycocalyx is known to contain residues of sialic acid, alpha-mannose/alpha-glucose, alpha- and beta-galactose, alpha-fucose, alpha- and beta-N-acetyl-galactosamine, monomers and dimers of N-acetyl-glucosamine, and N-acetyl-lactosamine. Potential changes in these carbohydrates

Endomembrane (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane) proteins of soybean (Glycine max) root cells are highly glycosylated. We investigated whether N-linked oligosaccharide moieties are essential for the correct intracellular transport of plant endomembrane glycoproteins. Excised

Nitrogen and carbohydrate assimilates were temporally and spatially compartmented among various cell types in soybean (Glycine max L., Merr.) leaves during seed filling. The paraveinal mesophyll (PVM), a unique cell layer found in soybean, was demonstrated to function in the synthesis,

Affinity cross-linking of the plasma membrane fraction to an (125)I-labeled chitin oligosaccharide led to the identification and characterization of an 85-kD, chitin binding protein in plasma membrane-enriched fractions from both suspension-cultured soybean cells and root tissue. Inhibition analysis
