TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: The lectin from leaves of Japanese cycad, Cycas revoluta Thunb. (gymnosperm) is a member of the jacalin-related family

A novel lectin was isolated from leaves of the Japanese cycad,Cycas revolutaThunb. (gymnosperm), and its char-acteristics including amino acid composition, molecular mass, carbohydrate binding specificity and partial amino acid sequences were examined. The inhibition analysis of hemagglutinating activity with various sugars showed that the lectin has a carbohydrate-binding specificity similar to those of mannose recognizing, jacalin-related lectins. Partial amino acid sequences of the lysylendopeptic peptides shows that the lectinmight have a repeating structure andbelong to the jacalin-related lectin family | Eur. J.

Keywords Cycas revoluta Thunb. gymnosperm Japanese cycad leaf lectin. Lectins have been isolated from many angiospermous plants including legumes and monocots 1 2 . Many applications have been found for their use in biological and bimedical research 3 . It has been suggested that plant lectins be classified into seven different protein families 4 . Thus far only two isolectins have been isolated from seeds of a gymnospermous plant that of Brazilian cedar belonging to the family of Coniferae 5 . Except for these seed lectins no lectins of gymnosperm origin have been purified nor has the relationship between angiosperms and gymnosperms been established. Previously Pettitt 6 reported hemagglutinating activity in the extracts from cycad pollen. Until now no other reports have appeared on lectin activity in other parts of cycad plants. This paper deals with the isolation and characterization .
