Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA)-related lectin family, a superfamily of strictly mannose-binding specific lectins, has been well-known to possess several biological functions including apoptosis-inducing activities. However, the precise mechanisms of GNA-related lectins to induce apoptosis remains to be clarified. In this study, we showed that Polygonatum cyrtonema lectin (PCL) and Ophiopogon japonicus...
A novel mannose-binding lectin (designated CML) was isolated from Clematis montana Buch.-Ham stem (Ranunculaceae) using ion exchange and gel filtration chromatographies on DEAE-Sepharose and Sephacryl S-100. The purified C. montana lectin was a homodimer of 11,968.9Da subunits as determined by gel filtration and MS. The hemagglutinating activity of CML was inhibited by branched oligomannosides. The...
In the present study, three typical monocot mannose-binding lectins (e.g., Polygonatum cyrtonema lectin [PCL], Ophiopogon japonicus lectin [OJL] and Liparis noversa lectin [LNL]), were reported to possess a similar tertiary structure with three mannose-binding sites and a close phylogenetic relationship. Subsequently, these lectins were found to bear remarkable inhibitory effects on the growth of...
