Block-Sequence-Specific Glycopolypeptides with Selective Lectin Binding Properties.
Glycopolypeptides with defined block sequences were prepared by sequential addition of two different N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), followed by selective deprotection and functionalization of predefined positions within the polypeptide backbone. The sequential arrangement of the galactose units and the block-sequence length have been systematically varied. All the glycopolypeptides have been obtai...
متن کاملA Polycomb group protein complex with sequence-specific DNA-binding and selective methyl-lysine-binding activities.
Polycomb response elements (PREs) are specific cis-regulatory sequences needed for transcriptional repression of HOX and other target genes by Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. Among the many PcG proteins known in Drosophila, Pho is the only sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. To gain insight into the function of Pho, we purified Pho protein complexes from Drosophila embryos and found that Pho ...
متن کاملLectin-binding properties of Aeromonas caviae strains
The cell surface carbohydrates of four strains of Aeromonas caviae were analyzed by agglutination and lectin-binding assays employing twenty highly purified lectins encompassing all sugar specificities. With the exception of L-fucose and sialic acid, the sugar residues were detected in A. caviae strains. A marked difference, however, in the pattern of cell surface carbohydrates in different A. ...
متن کاملBinding Properties and Interference with Lectin-induced Cellular Stimulation
The last years' research has provided considerable insight into the pathogenesis of cholera at the molecular level. The choleragenic agent has been identified to be a protein exotoxin of mol wt 84,000 which has been isolated and crystallized (1-3). Its toxic action seems to reside in its capacity to activate the adenylate cyclase system in the small bowel mucosa; in fact this ability is not res...
متن کاملSelective binding of N-acetylglucosamine to the chicken hepatic lectin.
Among Ca2+-dependent (C-type) animal lectins, the chicken hepatic lectin (CHL) is unique in displaying almost complete selectivity for N-acetylglucosamine over other monosaccharide ligands. The crystal structures of the carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) from serum mannose-binding protein (MBP) and of a complex between the CRD from liver MBP and the methyl glycoside of N-acetylglucosamine we...
