Lectins from dietary plants have been shown to enhance drug absorption in the gastrointestinal tract of rats, be transported trans-synaptically as shown by tracing of axonal and dendritic paths, and enhance gene delivery. Other carbohydrate-binding protein toxins are known...

Phosphatidylinositol as a Component of the Ice Nucleating Site of Pseudomonas syringae and Erwinia herbiola.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Kozloff LM, Lute M, Westaway D.
PMID: 17759892
Science. 1984 Nov 16;226(4676):845-6. doi: 10.1126/science.226.4676.845.

Phosphatidylinositol has been identified as a major component of the ice nucleating site on the outer surface of two bacteria, Pseudomonas syringae and Erwinia herbicola. Plant lectins binding to inositol and a highly purified phosphatidylinositol-specific hydrolase (a C(II) lipase)...

Distribution of Lectins in the Jumbo Virginia and Spanish Varieties of the Peanut, Arachis hypogaea L.

Plant physiology

Pueppke SG.
PMID: 16661012
Plant Physiol. 1979 Oct;64(4):575-80. doi: 10.1104/pp.64.4.575.

Peanut lectin was purified from seed meal of the Spanish and Jumbo Virginia varieties of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) by affinity chromatography on lactose coupled to Sepharose 4B. Polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing resolved the lectin preparation from Jumbo Virginia...

Antiviral agents targeting glycans on dengue virus E-glycoprotein.

Expert review of anti-infective therapy

Hidari KI, Suzuki T.
PMID: 22029517
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2011 Nov;9(11):983-5. doi: 10.1586/eri.11.115.

The molecular recognition of dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) with arthropod-derived N-glycans on E-glycoprotein is essential for dengue virus (DENV) infection in humans. Therefore, the specific interaction of DC-SIGN with N-glycans on E-glycoprotein is a promising...

Computational analyses of protein coded by rice (Oryza sativa japonica) cDNA (GI: 32984786) indicate lectin like Ca(2+) binding properties for Eicosapenta Peptide Repeats (EPRs).

Bioinformation

Archak S, Nagaraju J.
PMID: 24616556
Bioinformation. 2014 Feb 19;10(2):63-7. doi: 10.6026/97320630010063. eCollection 2014.

Eicosapenta peptide repeats (EPRs) occur exclusively in flowering plant genomes and exhibit very high amino acid residue conservation across occurrence. DNA and amino acid sequence searches yielded no indications about the function due to absence of similarity to known...

Lectin domains at the frontiers of plant defense.

Frontiers in plant science

Lannoo N, Van Damme EJ.
PMID: 25165467
Front Plant Sci. 2014 Aug 13;5:397. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2014.00397. eCollection 2014.

Plants are under constant attack from pathogens and herbivorous insects. To protect and defend themselves, plants evolved a multi-layered surveillance system, known as the innate immune system. Plants sense their encounters upon perception of conserved microbial structures and damage-associated...

Recombinant production of plant lectins in microbial systems for biomedical application - the frutalin case study.

Frontiers in plant science

Oliveira C, Teixeira JA, Domingues L.
PMID: 25152749
Front Plant Sci. 2014 Aug 08;5:390. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2014.00390. eCollection 2014.

Frutalin is a homotetrameric partly glycosylated α-D-galactose-binding lectin of biomedical interest from Artocarpus incisa (breadfruit) seeds, belonging to the jacalin-related lectins family. As other plant lectins, frutalin is a heterogeneous mixture of several isoforms possibly with distinct biological activities....

Fluorescent Neoglycoprotein Gold Nanoclusters: Synthesis and Applications in Plant Lectin Sensing and Cell Imaging.

Nanoscale research letters

Brzezicka KA, Serna S, Reichardt NC.
PMID: 30421263
Nanoscale Res Lett. 2018 Nov 12;13(1):360. doi: 10.1186/s11671-018-2772-2.

Carbohydrate-protein interactions mediate fundamental biological processes, such as fertilization, cell signaling, or host-pathogen communication. However, because of the enormous complexity of glycan recognition events, new tools enabling their analysis or applications emerge in recent years. Here, we describe the...

Messages From the Past: New Insights in Plant Lectin Evolution.

Frontiers in plant science

Van Holle S, Van Damme EJM.
PMID: 30761173
Front Plant Sci. 2019 Jan 29;10:36. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2019.00036. eCollection 2019.

Lectins are a large and diverse class of proteins, found in all kingdoms of life. Plants are known to express different types of carbohydrate-binding proteins, each containing at least one particular lectin domain which enables them to specifically recognize...

Combining Click Reactions for the One-Pot Synthesis of Modular Biomolecule Mimetics.

Organic letters

Brinkø A, Risinger C, Lambert A, Blixt O, Grandjean C, Jensen HH.
PMID: 31502847
Org Lett. 2019 Sep 20;21(18):7544-7548. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.9b02811. Epub 2019 Sep 10.

Here, we report on the first combined one-pot use of the two so-called "click reactions": the thiol-ene coupling and the copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition. These reactions were employed in an alternating and one-pot fashion to combine appropriately functionalized monomeric carbohydrate...
