The structure of a tunicate C-type lectin from Polyandrocarpa misakiensis complexed with D -galactose.
C-type lectins are calcium-dependent carbohydrate-recognising proteins. Isothermal titration calorimetry of the C-type Polyandrocarpa lectin (TC14) from the tunicate Polyandrocarpa misakiensis revealed the presence of a single calcium atom per monomer with a dissociation constant of 2.6 microM, and confirmed the specificity of TC14 for D -galactose and related monosaccharides. We have determine...

متن کاملA novel C-type lectin regulating cell growth, cell adhesion and cell differentiation of the multipotent epithelium in budding tunicates.
We have isolated two Ca(2+)-dependent, galactose-binding polypeptides from the budding tunicate, Polyandrocarpa misakiensis. Based on their partial amino acid sequences, full-length cDNAs were cloned. One of them was identical with a tunicate C-type lectin (TC14-2) reported previously. The other was a novel C-type lectin, referred to as TC14-3. In living animals, they appeared to be coupled. Th...
متن کاملThe nutritional balance of advantage and disadvantage.
Problems that occur from the use of additives in food and the presence of contaminants that stem from their employment can be discussed from several points of view. Earlier papers in this symposium have concentrated primarily on the analytical difficulties of determining small concentrations of complex organic chemicals, on the toxicological hazards arising from the presence of trace concentrat...
