Abstract
Lectins are proteins that have as one of their main characteristics recognizing and reversibly binding to carbohydrates. In this work, it was possible to purify and characterize a lectin from Parkia panurensis (Leguminosae family; Mimosoideae subfamily) seeds by a combination of the techniques: protein precipitation, along with affinity and then ion exchange chromatography using the Sepharose-mannose and diethylaminoethyl matrices, respectively. The pure lectin, called PpaL, has affinity by D-mannose, D-glucose and derivatives. PpaL was stable over a wide range of temperature and pH, and it showed an SDS-PAGE profile of only one protein band with apparent mass of 45 kDa, subsequently confirmed by mass spectrometry, and presented a molecular mass of 50,566 ± 1 Da. PAGE analysis and molecular exclusion chromatography demonstrated that PpaL is presented as a dimer in solution. Partial sequencing of the primary structure resulted in a total of 334 amino acid residues with approximately 97% similarity to Parkia biglobosa and Parkia platycephala seed lectins. PpaL was shown to be toxic against Artemia nauplii and had an LC50 of 20 µg/mL. The effects of biological activities presented by these proteins make them important biotechnological tools, demonstrating the importance of bioprospection of new lectins.

Abstract
A novel lectin from seeds of Clathrotropis nitida (CNA) was purified and characterized. CNA is a glycoprotein containing approximately 3.3% carbohydrates in its structure. CNA promoted intense agglutination of rabbit erythrocytes, which was inhibited by galactosides and porcine stomach mucin (PSM). The lectin maintained its hemagglutinating activity after incubation in a wide range of temperatures (30-60 °C) and pH (6.0-7.0), and its binding activity was dependent on divalent cations (Ca(+2) and Mg(+2)). SDS-PAGE showed an electrophoretic profile consisting of a single band of 28 kDa, as confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, which indicated an average molecular mass of 27,406 ± 2 Da and the possible presence of isoforms and glycoforms. In addition, CNA exhibited no toxicity to Artemia sp. nauplii and elicited reversible and dose-dependent vasorelaxation in precontracted aortic rings. CNA was successfully immobilized on chitosan beads and was able to capture PSM in solution. This study demonstrated that CNA is a lectin that has potential as a biotechnological tool in glycomics and glycoproteomics applications.

Purification and primary structure of a novel mannose-specific lectin from Centrolobium microchaete Mart seeds. Int J Biol Macromol 2015; 81:600-7. [PMID: 26321423 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2015.08.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2015] [Revised: 08/24/2015] [Accepted: 08/25/2015] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to purify and characterize a novel mannose-binding lectin from the seeds of Centrolobium microchaete. Centrolobium microchaete lectin (CML) was purified by affinity chromatography in mannose-Sepharose-4B column. CML agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes and was inhibited by D-mannose, α-methyl-D-mannoside, D-glucose, N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine and sucrose. The lectin was stable at pH 7.0 and 8.0 and temperatures up to 60°C. The monomeric form of CML showed approximately 28kDa, and its native form is probably a homodimer, as determined by gel filtration chromatography. The primary structure of CML was determined by tandem mass spectrometry that showed CML as a protein with two distinct forms (isolectins CML-1 and CML-2) with 246 and 247 residues, respectively. CML-2 possesses one residue of Asn more than CML-1 in C-terminal. The primary structure of CML agrees with the molecular weights found by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry: 27,224 and 27,338Da for CML-1 and CML-2, respectively. CML is a metal-dependent glycoprotein. Moreover, the glycan composition of CML and its structure were predicted.
