Binding of para-substituted phenyl glycosides to concanavalin A 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The binding of para-substituted phenyl glycopyranosides of α-D-glucose, β-D-glucose, and α-D-mannose by concanavalin A has been related to the electronic and hydrophobic nature of the substituents by multiparameter regression analysis. Hydrophobicity is an important factor for the binding of the β-D-glucosides, especially in the p-alkyl series; a smaller but mutually comparable dependence on hydrophobicity is noted for each of the p-halogeno, p-alkoxy, and p-acyl substituent series. In the last two series, an additional substituent interaction with the protein might occur. The more tightly bound α-D-mannosides and α-D-glucosides show a constant binding ratio for all p-phenyl substituents. Here, hydrophobic contributions are negligible when compares with electronic effects. Hammett relations (p?= 0.5) are valid for α-D-glucosides and α-D-mannosides, and can be improved by considering inductive and mesomeric contributions of the substituents. These observations are compatible with crystallographic data at a resolution of 2 Å. Their relevance for the α-D-anomeric specificity, governed by a protein electrophile, is discussed. 相似文献

A 30 kDa rabbit erythrocyte agglutinating glycoprotein isolated and characterized from the roots of Cicer arietinum and designated as cicer root lectin (CRL). Hemagglutination activity of CRL is strongly inhibited by cell surface LPS of nodulating cicer specific Rhizobium. CRL agglutinates mesorhizobial cells and not Escherichia coli or yeast cells. It binds to immobilized LPS of cicer specific Rhizobium only. The primary structure of CRL as predicted by peptide mass fingerprinting by MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight) indicated ∼54% amino acid sequence homology with C. arietinum seedling lectin (Accession no. gi/3204123) and ∼26% with C. arietinum (Accession no. gi/110611256), and Pisum sativum (Accession nos. gi/230612, gi/6729956, gi/126148) lectins. These suggested CRL to be a member of vegetative tissue lectin. Circular dichroism analysis indicated that the secondary structure of CRL consists of 48% β-sheets, 26% random coils, and 11% α-helix. CRL has six isoforms of closely associated molecular mass with differential acidic pI of 5.30, 5.20, 5.15, 5.05, 5.00, 4.80. Identity of these isoforms was confirmed from their binding with cicer specific Rhizobium LPS. All the isoforms of CRL are differentially glycosylated as identified by deglycosylation and monosaccharide analysis using high-performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). All these results suggest that unlike other plant lectins CRL is a LPS-binding lectin. 相似文献

A quantitative method was developed to measure the binding of fluorescent-labeled lentil (Lens esculenta Moench), pea (Pisum sativum L.), broad bean (Vicia faba L.), and jackbean (Canavalia ensiformis L., DC.) lectins to various Rhizobium strains. Lentil lectin bound to three of the five Rhizobium leguminosarum strains tested. The number of lentil lectin molecules bound per R. leguminosarum 128C53 cell was 2.1 × 104. Lentil lectin also bound to R. japonicum 61A133. Pea and broad bean lectins bound to only two of the five strains of R. leguminosarum, whereas concanavalin A (jackbean lectin) bound to all strains of R. leguminosarum, R. phaseoli, R. japonicum, and R. sp. tested. Since these four lectins have similar sugarbinding properties but different physical properties, the variation in bindings of these lectins to various Rhizobium strains indicates that binding of lectin to Rhizobium is determined not only by the sugar specificity of the lectin but also by its physical characteristics. 相似文献

Several members of a new family of non-sugar-type α-glycosidase inhibitors, bearing a 5-(p-toluenesulfonylamino)phthalimide moiety and various substituent at the N2 position, were synthesized and their activities were investigated. The newly synthesized compounds displayed different inhibition profile towards yeast α-glycosidase and rat intestinal α-glycosidase. Almost all the compounds had strong inhibitory activities against yeast α-glycosidase. Regarding rat intestinal α-glycosidase, only analogs with N2-aromatic substituents displayed varying degrees of inhibitory activities on rat intestinal maltase and lactase and nearly all compounds showed no inhibition against rat intestinal α-amylase. Structure–activity relationship studies indicated that 5-(p-toluenesulfonylamino)phthalimide moiety is a favorable scaffold to exert the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and substituents at the N2 position have considerable influence on the efficacy of the inhibition activities. 相似文献

We have tested the application of high-mannose-binding lectins as analytical reagents to identify N-glycans in the early secretory pathway of HeLa cells during subcellular fractionation and cytochemistry. Post-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) pre-Golgi intermediates were separated from the ER on Nycodenz–sucrose gradients, and the glycan composition of each gradient fraction was profiled using lectin blotting. The fractions containing the post-ER pre-Golgi intermediates are found to contain a subset of N-linked α-mannose glycans that bind the lectins Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA), Pisum sativum agglutinin (PSA), and Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) but not lectins binding Golgi-modified glycans. Cytochemical analysis demonstrates that high-mannose-containing glycoproteins are predominantly localized to the ER and the early secretory pathway. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that GNA colocalizes with the ER marker protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and the COPI coat protein β-COP. In situ competition with concanavalin A (ConA), another high-mannose specific lectin, and subsequent GNA lectin histochemistry refined the localization of N-glyans containing nonreducing mannosyl groups, accentuating the GNA vesicular staining. Using GNA and treatments that perturb ER–Golgi transport, we demonstrate that lectins can be used to detect changes in membrane trafficking pathways histochemically. Overall, we find that conjugated plant lectins are effective tools for combinatory biochemical and cytological analysis of membrane trafficking of glycoproteins. 相似文献

Several effects on pea (Pisum sativum L. var Onwards) chloroplasts of a new diphenylether herbicide, fomesafen (5-[2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-phenoxy]-N-methanesulfonyl-2 -nitrobenzamide) have been compared with those of a herbicide of related structure, nitrofluorfen (2-chloro-1-[4-nitrophenoxy]-4-[trifluoromethyl]benzene). Although both compounds produce the same light-dependent symptoms of desiccation and chlorosis indicative of a common primary mechanism of action, this study is concerned with a more broadly based investigation of different effects on the electron transport system. Comparisons have also been made with other compounds interacting with the chloroplast. Unlike nitrofluorfen, fomesafen has little effect as an inhibitor of electron flow or energy transfer. Both compounds have the ability to stimulate superoxide production through a functional electron transport system, and this involves specifically the p-nitro substituent. The stimulation, which is not likely to be an essential part of the primary herbicidal effect, is diminished under conditions that remove the coupling factor. Evidence suggests that both diphenylethers may be able to bind to the coupling factor, and kinetic studies reveal this for dibromothymoquinone as well. Such a binding site might be an important feature in allowing the primary effect of the diphenylether herbicides to be expressed. 相似文献

The influence substituents on the hydrolysis of substituted phenyl α-D-mannopyranosides by α-D-mannosidase from Medicago sativa L. has been investigated. As indicated by structure-activity relations, the electronic effect of the substituent has an influence on the rate of formation of the intermediate mannosyl-enzyme complex. This effect depends not only on the nature of the substituent, but also on its position (meta or para) and on the temperature of the experiment. Hammett-type linear free energy relationships show that the reaction constant p changes its sign at ~27°. Substrates with strong electron-withdrawing groups show values of log V that are linearly related to 1/T, whereas the Arrhenius plots for other substrates are severely curved. This complex behaviour is tentatively explained by assuming that some meta-substituents have an unusual, temperature- and substituent-dependent influence on the formation of the Michaelis—Menten complex. 相似文献

Chloroplast preparations from the mesocarp ofPersea gratissima and from light-grown shoots ofPisum sativum were unable to synthesize abscisic acid (ABA) from mevalonolactone, mevalonic acid, or isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Similar plastid preparations transformed [2-14C]ABA into acidic products that were chromatographically similar to those generated byP. gratissima mesocarp slices and excised shoots ofP. sativum. Attempts to increase ABA catabolism in chloroplast preparations using sedimentation through Percoll to remove associated proteases also reduced the capacity for ABA catabolism, suggesting that such catabolism arose from contaminating, cytoplasmic enzymes. Both lincomycin and chloramphenicol inhibited the catabolism of ABA by excised shoots ofP. sativum but had little effect on either ABA biosynthesis or ABA catabolism in mesocarp fromP. gratissima. These processes were inhibited markedly by cycloheximide. 相似文献

The level of α- and β-galactosidase was followed in the cotyledons and embryos of germinating seeds of Pisum sativum and P. elatius. α-Galactosidase is preformed in the cotyledons but its activity increases during germination in the embryos. β-Galactosidase activity in embryos increases during germination but shows little change in cotyledons. The possible function of α- and β-galactosidase is discussed. 相似文献

Summary A two-step affinity technique is described for light microscopic demonstration of the Concanavalin A, Agaricus bisporus lectin and Ricinus communis lectin binding sites by means of various FITC-labeled human and rabbit serum protein fractions. Experiments for the visualization of the Lens culinaris lectin and the Pisum sativum lectin binding sites gaves negative results. The technique consist of two reaction steps which involve the incubation of tissue sections in the lectins followed by the visualization of receptor-bound lectins with FITC-labeled serum protein fractions basing on their carbohydrate content. The specificity of the technique could be demonstrated by the addition of the hapten or by incubation in the FITC-labeled serum protein fractions only. In contrast to the direct or indirect staining methods only very small amounts of purified lectins are necessary. 相似文献

Summary A simple procedure is described for eliminating non-specific staining with avidin—peroxidase conjugates. Murine ovaries were embedded in either paraffin wax or epoxy resin and, after blocking endogenous peroxidase activity, were treated with 10 µg/ml biotinylatedPisum sativum agglutinin. Avidin—peroxidase conjugates (5 µg/ml), diluted in standard 0.05m tris-buffered saline, pH 7.6, containing 0.139m NaCl, produced considerable background coloration and intense mast cell staining in controls without the lectin. This background diminished as the ionic strength of the buffer was raised. At 0.125m Tris-buffered saline (containing 0.347m NaCl) the background was completely unstained, with elimination of all binding to mast cells and only minimal loss of specific lectin binding. 相似文献

Abstract The probable modes of binding of Methyl—α (and β)-D-glucopyranosides and some of their derivatives to concanavalin A have been proposed from theoretical studies. Theory predicts that βMeGlcP can bind to ConA in three different modes whereas α-MeGlcP can bind only in one mode. βMeGlcP in its most favourable mode of binding differs from α-MeGlcP in its alignment in the active-site of the lectin where it binds in a flipped or inverted orientation. Methyl substitution at the C-2 atom of the α-MeGlcP does not significantly affect the possible orientations of the sugar in the active-site of the lectin. Methyl substitution at C-3 or C-4, however, affects the allowed orientations drastically leading to the poor inhibiting power of Methyl-3-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside and the inactivity of Methyl-4-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside. These studies suggest that the increased activity of the α-MeGlcP over β-MeGlcP may be due to the possibility of formation of better hydrogen bonds and to hydrophobic interactions rather than to steric factors as suggested by earlier workers. These models explain the available NMR and other binding studies. 相似文献

Sophora japonica lectin agglutinates human B erythrocytes strongly and A1 erythrocytes weakly. Bivalent metal ions such as Ca2+, Mn2+, or Mg2+ were shown to be essential for hemagglutinating and precipitating activities. At optimal concentrations of bivalent metal ions, hemagglutinating activity was highest between pH 8.5 and 9.0 and decreased sharply below pH 8.5, whereas precipitating capacity was maximal between pH 6.7 and 9.5. The combining site of the S. japonica lectin was explored by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays. This lectin showed substantial differences in precipitation with several blood group B substances ascribable to heterogeneity resulting from incomplete biosynthesis of their carbohydrate side chains. The lectin precipitated moderately well with A1 substance and precursor blood group I fractions (OG). It precipitated weakly or not at all with A2, H, or Lea substances. In inhibition assays, glycosides of dGalNAc were about five to six times better than those of dGal; dGalNAc itself was about six times better than dGal. Nitrophenyl glycosides were all substantially better than the methyl glycosides, indicating a hydrophobic contribution to the site subterminal to the nonreducing moiety. Although nitrophenyl β-glycosides were much better than the corresponding α-glycosides, the methyl α-and βDGalNAcp were equal in activity as were methyl α- and βDGalp. Among the oligosaccharides tested, the β-linked N-tosyl-l-serine glycoside of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc was best and was as active as p-nitrophenyl βDGalNAcp, whereas dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc α-N-tosyl serine and the nitrophenyl and phenyl α-glycosides of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc were much less active, suggesting that the hydrophobic moiety and/or a subterminal dGalNAc β-linked and substituted on carbon 3 play an important role in binding and that a β-linked glycoside of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc may be an essential requirement for binding. The results of inhibition studies with other oligosaccharides indicate that a subterminal dGlcNAc substituted on carbon 3 or 4 by dGalβ may contribute somewhat to binding and that whether the dGlcNAc is linked β1 → 3 or β1 → 6 to a third sugar does not contribute to or interfere with binding. The β1 → 3 linkage of the terminal dGal to the subterminal amino sugar is significant since dGalβ1 → 4dGlcNAc was one-half as active as the corresponding β1 → 3-linked compound and the subterminal sugar must be unsubstituted for optimal binding. N-Acetyllactosamine was 50% more active than lactose, indicating that the subterminal N-acetamido group was also contributing significantly to binding. A variety of other sugars, glycosides, and oligosaccharides showed little or not activity. From the oligosaccharides available, the combining size of this lectin would appear to be least as large a β-linked disaccharide and most complementary to dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc β-linked to tosyl-l-serine the most active compound tested. 相似文献

The effects of hybrid lectins—full-sized pea Pisum sativum lectin (PSL) with the carbohydrate-binding region of white melilot Melilotus albus lectin or wild licorice Astragalus glycyphyllos lectin substituted for the corresponding PSL region (PSL/MAL and PSL/AGL, correspondingly)—on the legume-rhizobium symbiosis were studied. The treatment of the Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae in the alfalfa (Medicago sativa) rhizosphere with PSL induced formation of uninfected pseudonodules on its roots, whereas the treatment of the bacteria from Astragalus cicer nodules with PSL/AGL rendered these bacteria able to form infective nodules on alfalfa roots. This ability is associated with expanded and unusual carbohydrate-binding properties (combined specificity for Gal and Glc) of this hybrid protein as compared with the natural legume lectins. 相似文献

The KI values for inhibition of thermolysin activity by N-β-phenylpropionyl-aliphatic amino acids (Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, Ile) are correlated by π, the hydrophobic substituent parameter for the amino acid side chain (log KI = ?0.73π ?1.80, correlation coefficient = 0.990). By contrast, the KI values for the corresponding benzyloxycarbonyl amino acids are poorly correlated by π, but show a good correlation with the steric parameter Es(log KI = 0.880Es ? 3.086, correlation coefficient = 0.985). Binding of β-phenylpropionyl-l-alanine is associated with an acidic residue of pK 7.3 and a basic residue of pK 8.0 in the E · I complex, and appears to raise the pK of Glu-143 by 2 units. Binding of benzyloxycarbonyl-Ala and -Phe is associated with an acidic residue of pK 8.0 and two basic residues, both with pK 8.3. Three similar pK values are observed with benzyloxycarbonyl-Phe. These results are interpreted in terms of different modes of binding of β-phenylpropionyl and benzyloxycarbonyl inhibitors. 相似文献

As part of a strategy to determine the precise role of pea (Pisum sativum) lectin, Psl, in nodulation of pea by Rhizobium leguminosarum, mutations were introduced into the genetic determinant for pea lectin by site-directed mutagenesis using PCR. Introduction of a specific mutation, N125D, into a central area of the sugar-binding site resulted in complete loss of binding of Psl to dextran as well as of mannose/glucose-sensitive haemagglutination activity. As a control, substitution of an adjacent residue, A126V, did not have any detectable influence on sugar-binding activity. Both mutants appeared to represent normal Psl dimers with a molecular mass of about 55 kDa, in which binding of Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions was not affected. These results demonstrate that the NHD2 group of Asn125 is essential in sugar binding by Psl. To our knowledge, Psl N125D is the first mutant legume lectin which is unable to bind sugar residues. This mutant could be useful in the identification of the potential role of the lectin in the recognition of homologous symbionts. 相似文献

Pisum sativum agglutinin has been shown to act as a feeding inhibitor for various insect pests belonging to different orders: Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Hemiptera. In the present study, its insecticidal activity was assessed through monitoring the growth and development of a dipteran pest Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Pea lectin, P. sativum agglutinin (PSA) was purified by single step affinity chromatography on a Sephadex G‐100 and the purification was monitored through hemagglutination activity and SDS‐PAGE. Insect feeding assays were conducted to determine the effect of pea lectin against first and second instar larvae of melon fruit fly B. cucurbitae. Lectin was incorporated in an artificial diet at a varied range of concentrations, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μg/mL. The lectin showed highly significant antimetabolic effects in both first and second instars. Time taken for pupation and development as well as percentage pupation and percentage adult emergence were adversely affected. The activity of three hydrolase enzymes (esterases, acid and alkaline phosphatases), five oxidoreductases (superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, O‐demethylase) and one group transfer enzyme (glutathione‐S‐transferases) was also assessed in second instar larvae fed on lectin treated diet at 100 μg/mL concentration. The P. sativum lectin significantly and deleteriously influenced the activity of all these enzymes at all exposure intervals. 相似文献
