Both the Entamoeba histolytica lectin, a virulence factor for the causative
agent of amebiasis, and the mammalian hepatic lectin bind to
N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and galactose (Gal) nonreducing termini on
oligosaccharides, with preference for GalNAc. Polyvalent GalNAc-
derivatized neoglycoproteins have >1000-fold enhanced binding affinity
for both lectins (Adler,P., Wood,S.J., Lee,Y.C., Lee,R.T., Petri,W.A.,Jr.
and Schnaar,R.L.,1995, J. Biol. Chem ., 270, 5164-5171). Substructural
specificity studies revealed that the 3-OH and 4-OH groups of GalNAc were
required for binding to both lectins, whereas only the E.histolytica lectin
required the 6-OH group. Whereas GalNAc binds with 4-fold lower affinity to
the E.histolytica lectin than to the mammalian hepatic lectin,
galactosamine and N-benzoyl galactosamine bind with higher affinity to the
E. histolytica lectin. Therefore, a synthetic scheme for converting
polyamine carriers to poly-N-acyl galactosamine derivatives (linked through
the galactosamine primary amino group) was developed to test whether such
ligands would bind the E.histolytica lectin with high specificity and high
affinity. Contrary to expectations, polyvalent derivatives including
GalN6lys5, GalN4desmosine, GalN4StarburstTMdendrimer, and
GalN8StarburstTMdendrimer demonstrated highly enhanced binding to the
mammalian hepatic lectin but little or no enhancement of binding to the
E.histolytica lectin. We propose that the mammalian hepatic lectin binds
with greatest affinity to GalNAc "miniclusters," which mimic branched
termini of N-linked oligosaccharides, whereas the E.histolytica lectin
binds most effectively to "maxiclusters," which may mimic more widely
spaced GalNAc residues on intestinal mucins.

Fairly numerous chitinozoans displaying morphological anomalies are recorded in Late Silurian subsurface material from Western Libya. The individuals described and illustrated in our paper range exclusively in a short interval at the top of the investigated sequence. These abnormal vesicles are interpreted as teratologic cases related lo an event of unknown origin. From our conclusions, the hypothesis of vegetative reproduction stages stated by previous authors seems unlikely. Therefore we still interpret the chitinozoan vesicles as eggs (or to a lesser extent as spores) of marine organisms. * Libya, Chitinozoans, Silurian, teratology, chitinozoan affinities . 相似文献
