چکیده
iranian castor bean lectin was isolated and purified by several column chromatography methods. then, the sugar and amino acid content of the purified lectin was identified. castor bean lectin has some anti tumor and anti leukemia action. thus it may be used commercially for medical and biochemical purposes.

Crystalline ricin D, a toxic anti-tumor lectin from seeds of Ricinus communis.
A toxic lectin, ricin D, present in the seeds of Ricinus communis has been purified and crystallized in a form suitable for high resolution crystallographic structure studies. This protein is different from a previously found form of ricin (also present in the same seeds), the only ricin for which a preliminary x-ray investigation has been reported so far. Ricin D crystallizes from an aqueous s...
متن کاملLectinochemical studies on the binding properties of a toxic lectin (ricin) isolated from the seeds of Ricinus communis.
BACKGROUND Ricin (RCA2 or RCA60) is a highly toxic heterodimeric protein found in the seeds of the castor plant Ricinus communis. It is a potential biohazard. In the present study, the fine specificity of ricin was defined. METHODS The combining site of ricin was characterized by quantitative precipitin (QPA) and precipitin inhibition assays (QPIA). RESULTS Of 31 glycoproteins and pneumococ...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of a Lectin from VEstaria floribunda Seeds
A lectin from Wisturi~ floribunda seeds which specifically binds to N-acetyl-bgalactosamine was purified to homogeneity as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 68,000 by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. It dissociated into subunits on reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol with concomitant loss of hemagglut...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a lectin from Andira anthelmia seeds
Andira anthelmia seeds, a species belonging to the Leguminosae family, Papilionoideae subfamily, Dalbergieae tribe, have a glucose/mannose specific lectin that agglutinates rabbit erythrocytes treated with trypsin. The Dalbergieae tribe has lectins which have specificity for different carbohydrates including mannose and also have several biological activities such as induction of rat paw edema,...
متن کاملPurification of an Antiproliferative Lectin from Erophaca Baetica (Leguminosae) Seeds
A lectin has been purified from the seeds of Erophaca baetica, an endemic legume of the Mediterranean Region. The protein has been purified from an albumin extract by gel filtration chromatography, after realization that affinity chromatography using Sephadex G-50 did not retain any proteins. Characterization of this protein shows that it is a 60 kDa homodimeric glycoprotein with 235 mg sugars ...
متن کاملSynthase Gene from Ricinus communis L
1 L-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4, MIPS), an evolutionarily conserved enzyme protein, catalyzes the conversion of D-glucose-6-phosphate into 1 L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate (MIP), which is the fi rst and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of all inositol-containing compounds (Ray Chaudhuri et al., 1997; Abid et al., 2009). MIPS is found in diverse organisms, both eukaryotic and...
