Previously we have shown that lactoferrin (LTF), a protein of secondary neutrophilic granules, can be efficiently modified by hypohalous acids (HOCl and HOBr), which are produced at high concentrations during inflammation and oxidative/halogenative stress by myeloperoxidase, an enzyme of...

BACKGROUND: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). While the functions of its gene and protein have been fully characterized, its post-translational modifications in the context of CRC development remain undefined.METHODS: To show the correlation...

BACKGROUND: Lectins, defined as 'Proteins that can recognize and bind specific carbohydrate structures', are widespread among all kingdoms of life and play an important role in various biological processes in the cell. Most plant lectins are involved in stress...

Isolation and partial characterization of a lectin from ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria) rhizomes.

Planta

Peumans WJ, Nsimba-Lubaki M, Peeters B, Broekaert WF.
PMID: 24249502
Planta. 1985 May;164(1):75-82. doi: 10.1007/BF00391028.

A lectin has been isolated from rhizomes of ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria) using a combination of affinity chromatography on erythrocyte membrane proteins immobilized on cross-linked agarose and hydroxyapatite, and ion-exchange chromatography. The molecular structure of the lectin was determined...

Biomimickry of UPEC Cytoinvasion: A Novel Concept for Improved Drug Delivery in UTI.

Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland)

Pichl CM, Dunkl B, Brauner B, Gabor F, Wirth M, Neutsch L.
PMID: 26861401
Pathogens. 2016 Feb 04;5(1). doi: 10.3390/pathogens5010016.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections. In an increasing number of cases, pathogen (multi-)resistance hampers durable treatment success via the standard therapies. On the functional level, the activity of urinary excreted antibiotics is compromized...

Use of lectins as transganglionic neuronal tracers in the study of unmyelinated primary sensory neurons.

Methods in molecular medicine

Plenderleith MB, Snow PJ.
PMID: 21374489
Methods Mol Med. 1998;9:517-26. doi: 10.1385/0-89603-396-1:517.

One of the major advances in neurobiology in the last two decades has been the development of neural tracing techniques that allow the investigator to unequivocally establish the precise pattern of connections between different populations of neurons. Early neuronal...

The use of cytotoxic plant lectins in cancer therapy.

Plant physiology

Lord JM.
PMID: 16665637
Plant Physiol. 1987 Sep;85(1):1-3. doi: 10.1104/pp.85.1.1.

As part of their defense mechanism against herbivores or phytophagous insects, many plant tissues contain lectins. Some of these lectins are potent toxins which kill animal cells by arresting protein synthesis. An attractive strategy for developing specifically cytotoxic chemotherapeutic...

Novel mannose-specific lectins found in torafugu, Takifugu rubripes: A review.

Comparative biochemistry and physiology. Part D, Genomics & proteomics

Tsutsui S, Okamoto M, Tasumi S, Suetake H, Kikuchi K, Suzuki Y.
PMID: 20483241
Comp Biochem Physiol Part D Genomics Proteomics. 2006 Mar;1(1):122-7. doi: 10.1016/j.cbd.2005.09.005. Epub 2005 Nov 16.

In earlier work, we identified a novel mannose-specific lectin, termed pufflectin-s, from the skin mucus of torafugu, Takifugu rubripes. We here make a brief review on the lectin. The amino acid sequence of pufflectin-s shares sequence homology with mannose-binding...

MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LECTIN, BRYOHEALIN, INVOLVED IN PROTOPLAST REGENERATION OF THE MARINE ALGA BRYOPSIS PLUMOSA (CHLOROPHYTA)(1).

Journal of phycology

Yoon KS, Lee KP, Klochkova TA, Kim GH.
PMID: 27041047
J Phycol. 2008 Feb;44(1):103-12. doi: 10.1111/j.1529-8817.2007.00457.x.

When a coenocytic cell of the green alga Bryopsis plumosa (Hudson) C. Agardh was cut open and the cell contents expelled, the cell organelles agglutinated rapidly in seawater to form protoplasts. This process was mediated by a lectin, Bryohealin....

Distribution patterns of carbohydrates in murine glycocalyx.
