Promoting Protein,a Silkworm Hemolymph Protein Promoting in Vitro Replication of Nucleopolyhedrovirus,Binds to β-Glucans |
| |
Abstract: | A protein which bound to 125I-labeled peptidoglycan (PGN) was isolated from hemolymph of silkworm larvae. The N-terminal amino acid sequence and the molecular weight of the protein were in accord with those described for Promoting Protein (PP) from the silkworm. The binding of the protein to 125I]PGN was competitively inhibited by various β-glucans. The binding kinetics of PGN and chitin to the protein were analyzed in a biosensor. |
