Purification and Characterization of Sophora flavescens Lectin

A lectin with strong hemagglutination activity was isolated from roots of Sophora flavescens Ait. by extraction, fractionation with (NH 4) 2SO 4, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose and followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and HPLC assay. The purified lectin showed a single protein band on PAGE and SDS-PAGE . The molecular weight of S. flavescens lectin was 32 kD when SDS-PAGE and Sephadex G-100 was used. The lectin agglutinated rabbit red blood cells at 0.97 μg/mL and showed no specific agglutination with any type of human erythrocytes. The hemagglutination activity could be inhibited by mannose and levulose and slightly by glucose and maltose. The SFL contained 2.89% neutral saccharide. It could inhibit apparently the growth of the mycelium of Gibberlla saubinetii （Mont.） Sacc.,Piricularia oryzae Cav. and Fusarium vasinfectum Atk. at the dosage of 62 μg. It was determined by Edman that the sequence of the N-terminal thirty amino acids was: T/A/VDXLXFTFSDFDPNGEDLLFQGDAHVTSNN.     

Isolation and characterization of Dorin M, a lectin from plasma of the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata

A lectin with high hemagglutinating activity, which we have named Dorin M, was identified in the plasma of the soft tick Ornithodoros moubata. The activity of the plasma lectin could be efficiently inhibited by sialic acid, N-acetyl-D-hexosamines and sialoglycoproteins. Dorin M was purified to homogeneity using two different isolation systems: affinity chromatography on a column of bovine submaxillary mucin conjugated to Sepharose 4B with specific elution by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and chromatography on Blue-Sepharose followed by anion exchange FPLC on a MonoQ column. The purified lectin is a glycoprotein which, in the native state, forms aggregates with molecular mass of about 640 kDa. Non-reducing SDS PAGE revealed that the lectin consists of two noncovalently bound subunits migrating closely around 37 kDa. Dorin M is a glycoprotein, probably modified by N-type glycosylation. After chemical deglycosylation, only one band of about 32 kDa was detected. Dorin M is the first lectin purified from ticks.

The purified leetin showed a single protein band on PAGE and SDS-PAGE, and exhibited a molecular weight of 40 700 by gel filtration and subunit of 19 800 on SDS-PAGE. It contained 1.78% neutral saceharide and enriched Asp, Glu, Thr, Set, Leu and also contained 4 Trp per molecule. It agglutinated rabbit red cell at 0.48 μg/mL and A,B,O types of blood. The reaction could be inhibited by thyroglobulin, muein gastrie and ovomucin, but not by saceharide. The hemagglutination was strongly dependant on Ca2 +, but was not enhanced by Mg2 + ,Mn2 + ,Zn2 +; The lectin was a strong mitogen for human peripheral blood lymphoeytes, showing a transformation rate and mitotic index of 84.3 % and 7.8 %,respectively.

Purification of a Sperm Lectin Extracted from Spermatozoa of the Sea Urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus

Hemagglutinating activity for human type A erythrocytes was detected in a sperm extract obtained by treatment with Triton X-100 of spermatozoa from the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. Among tested sugars only N-acetyl-D-galactosamine had any inhibitory effect on the hemagglutinating activity of the sperm extract. The lectin was purified by a combination of affinity chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography. A single band was obtained after SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified lectin, corresponding to an apparent molecular weight of 15,000 daltons. Trypsin-generated fragments of the surface of eggs significantly inhibited hemagglutination of erythrocytes by the purified lectin. The biological role of the sperm lectin is discussed.     

Properties and Subunit Characterization of Affinity Purified Sophora Japonica Lectin

The affinity purified Sophora japoniea lectin exhibits an anomalous behavior on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Electrophoresis at pH 8.9 produces three protein staining bands. Extraction and re-electrophoresis of the fastest and slowest migrating components demonstrates that the lectin solution is an equilibrium mixture of interconvertible forms. Addition of a bindable saccharide, D-galactose, during PAGE causes the equilibrium to be shifted toward a single form. As indicated by analytical gel filtration, sedimentation velocity ultracentrifugation and ion-exchange chromatography experiments, the equilibrium mixture consists of charge and not molecular weight variants of the native molecule of 132,800 g/m. Results from end-group and cysteine analyses and PAGE in sodium dodecyl sulfate indicate that the native lectin is composed of the non-covalent association of two dissimilar subunits. One subunit consists of two identical polypeptide chains attached by two disulfide bonds and the other subunit of two identical polypeptide chains stabilized by a single cysteine bridge.     

Purification and molecular characterization of a sialic acid specific lectin from the phytopathogenic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina

A lectin was isolated and purified from the culture filtrate of the plant pathogenic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina by a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, affinity chromatography on fetuin-Sepharose 4B and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-A 50. The lectin designated MPL was homogeneous by PAGE and HPLC and a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of approximately 34 kDa as demonstrated by SDS-PAGE. It is a glycoprotein and agglutinated human erythrocytes regardless of the human blood type. Neuraminidase treatment of erythrocytes reduced the agglutination activity of the lectin. It is thermally stable and exhibits maximum activity between pH 6 and 7.2. Its carbohydrate binding specificity was investigated both by hapten inhibition of hemagglutination and by enzyme-conjugated lectin inhibition assay. Although, M. phaseolina lectin bound sialic acid, it exhibited binding affinity towards neuraminyl oligosaccharides of N-linked glycoproteins, alpha-Neu5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-Gal-(1-->4)-GlcNAc being maximum.     

Purification and characterization of a sialic acid specific lectin from the hemolymph of the freshwater crab Paratelphusa jacquemontii.

A naturally occurring hemagglutinin was detected in the serum of the freshwater crab, Paratelphusa jacquemontii (Rathbun). Hemagglutination activity with different mammalian erythrocytes suggested a strong affinity of the serum agglutinin for horse and rabbit erythrocytes. The most potent inhibitor of hemagglutination proved to be bovine submaxillary mucin. The lectin was purified by affinity chromatography using bovine submaxillary mucin-coupled agarose. The molecular mass of the purified lectin was 34 kDa as determined by SDS/PAGE. The hemagglutination of purified lectin was inhibited by N-acetylneuraminic acid but not by N-glycolylneuraminic acid, even at a concentration of 100 mm. Bovine submaxillary mucin, which contains mainly 9-O-acetyl- and 8,9 di-O-acety-N-acetyl neuraminic acid was the most potent inhibitor of the lectin. Sialidase treatment and de-O-acetylation of bovine submaxillary mucin abolished its inhibitory capacity completely. Also, asialo-rabbit erythrocytes lost there binding specificity towards the lectin. The findings indicated an O-acetyl neuraminic acid specificity of the lectin.     

A normal mucin-binding lectin from the sponge Craniella australiensis

A lectin, Craniella australiensis (CAL), was isolated from sponge C. australiensis by ion-exchange on DEAE-Sephacel and purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and HPLC on DEAE-5PW. The purified lectin was a trimeric protein as revealed by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF analysis. SDS-PAGE showed that the CAL protein had a molecular mass of 54 kDa, and consisted of three 18 kDa subunits. Gel filtration of purified lectin on Sephadex G-200 indicates that it exists as a 54 kDa protein in its native state. The amino acid composition was rich in Thr and Glx. CAL was found to agglutinate native and trypsinized human A, B erythrocytes, and agglutinate native erythrocytes of mouse, sheep, rabbit and chicken, and trypsinized erythrocytes of sheep and rabbit. The hemagglutination activity was inhibited by glycoproteins such as PSM and asialo-PSM, but not by any of the monosaccharides tested. The activity was stable between 20 and 70 degrees C. Significant CAL activity was observed between pH 5 and 8. The lectin reaction is independent of the presence of divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+. The sequence of N-terminal residues of CAL was determined as TSSCQSIVVE. The lectin showed a potent mitogenic response towards BALB/c splenocytes.
