Structure of mannose-specific snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) lectin is representative of a new plant lectin family
Tetrameric Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (50,000 M r) belongs to a super-family of α-D-mannose-specific plant bulb lectins known to be potent inhibitors of retroviruses. The 2.3 Å crystal structure of… Expand

Isolation and characterization of a second lectin (SNA-II) present in elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) bark.
A second lectin (SNA-II) has been isolated from elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) bark by affinity chromatography on immobilized asialo-glycophorin. This lectin is a blood group nonspecific glycoprotein… Expand

Elucidation of the mechanism enhancing the avidity of lectin with oligosaccharides on the solid phase surface.
The mechanism underlying molecular recognition of lectins was elucidated by a novel solid phase binding assay system based on surface plasmon resonance. When the apparent affinities of interactions… Expand

A cell wall-bound β-glucosidase from germinated rice : Purification and properties
Abstract A cell wall-bound β-glucosidase was purified from germinated rice seeds, and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined. The enzyme had a molecularmass of 56 kDa and an isoelectric… Expand

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction results of snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) lectin.
Well-ordered single crystals have been grown for a mannose-specific lectin from snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) bulbs in the presence of methyl-alpha-D-mannoside. The space group symmetry is consistent… Expand

Biosynthesis, primary structure and molecular cloning of snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis L.) lectin.
Poly(A)-rich RNA isolated from ripening ovaries of snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis L.) yielded a single 17-kDa lectin polypeptide upon translation in a wheat-germ cell-free system. This lectin was… Expand

Interactions of five D-mannose-specific lectins with a series of synthetic branched trisaccharides.
The interaction of a series of synthetic, branched trisaccharides with five D-mannose-specific lectins was studied by precipitation-inhibition assay. The branched methyl alpha-D-mannotrioside,… Expand

Isolation, cDNA cloning, biological properties, and carbohydrate binding specificity of sieboldin-b, a type II ribosome-inactivating protein from the bark of Japanese elderberry (Sambucus…
A type II ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) was isolated from the bark tissue of Japanese elderberry (Sambucus sieboldiana) and named sieboldin-b. Sieboldin-b is a heterodimeric protein consisting… Expand
