Abstract
Lectins are purified by affinity chromatography to take advantage of their carbohydrate-specific interactions. Highly efficient affinity adsorbents are powerful tools to obtain homogeneous lectins with distinct specificities. Here, we describe three methods to prepare affinity adsorbents by immobilizing carbohydrates or glycoconjugates on agarose gel beads. Because the ligands are immobilized via a stable and nonionic linkage under mild conditions, the adsorbents possess high binding capacity for lectins with low nonspecific adsorption and can withstand repeated use. The procedures require neither specialized techniques and apparatus nor highly toxic compounds. Using these adsorbents, many plant and animal lectins can be purified in a few steps.

Immobilized glycosylated Fmoc-amino acid for SPR: comparative studies of lectin-binding to linear or biantennary diLacNAc structures. Carbohydr Res 2013; 382:77-85. [PMID: 24211369 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2013.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2013] [Revised: 10/04/2013] [Accepted: 10/05/2013] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
A method to immobilize glycan-linked amino acids with protected α-amino groups, which are key intermediates to produce the desired neoglycoprotein, to a Biacore sensor chip was developed and its utility for interaction analyses was demonstrated. Two types of diN-acetyllactosamine (diLacNAc)-containing glycans, a core 2 hexasaccharide involving linear diLacNAc that is O-linked to N-(9-fluorenyl)methoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-Thr and a biantennary diLacNAc that is N-linked to Fmoc-Asn, were used as ligands. For immobilization, the free carboxyl groups of the amino acid residues were activated with EDC/NHS, then reacted with the ethylenediamine-derivatized carboxymethyldextran sensor chip to obtain the desired ligand concentrations. Interactions of the ligands with five plant lectins were analyzed by surface plasmon resonance, and the bindings were compared. The resonance unit of each lectin was corrected by subtracting that of the reference cell on which the Fmoc-Thr-core 1 or Fmoc-Asn was immobilized as a ligand. The carbohydrate specificities of interactions were verified by preincubating lectins with their respective inhibitory sugar before injection. By steady state analysis, the Lycopersicon esculentum lectin showed a 27-fold higher affinity to linear diLacNAc than to biantennary diLacNAc, while Datura stramonium and Solanum tuberosum lectins both showed low Ka,apps of 10(6)M(-1) for these two ligands. In contrast, Ricinus communis agglutinin-120 showed a 3.2-fold higher Ka,app to biantennary LacNAc than to linear diLacNAc. A lectin purified from Pleurocybella porrigens mushroom interacted at the high affinity of 10(8)M(-1) with both linear and biantennary diLacNAcs, which identified it as a unique probe. This method provides a useful and sensitive system to analyze interactions by simulating the glycans on the cell surface.

Abstract
Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs) are protein molecules containing two inhibitory domains for enzymes similar to trypsin and chymotrypsin. Interest in these inhibitors arose from their properties against the cancer chemically induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). In this study the effect of two BBI preparations (from Glycine max and Macrotyloma axillare) were evaluated for the prevention of colorectal neoplasia induced by intraperitoneal injections of DMH, given at a dose of 30 mg/kg, during 12 weeks. Mice treated with DMH presented histopathological alterations consistent with tumor development, augmented CD44 expression and increased proteasome peptidase activities. Lysosomal fractions, obtained from the intestines, were chromatographed in a Sepharose-BBI column and increased activity for trypsin and chymotrypsin-like proteases recovered from DMH-treated animals. In parallel, mice treated for eight weeks with BBIs showed a decrease in the chymotrypsin and trypsin-like proteasome activities compared to animals fed on normal diet. For the groups receiving simultaneous treatment with DMH and BBIs, dysplasic lesions were not observed and proteasome peptidase activities were similar to the control group after the 24th week. These results suggest that the mechanism by which BBIs could prevent the appearance of pre neoplastic lesions is associated with inhibition of both the lysosomal and proteasome-dependent proteolytic pathways.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Linear polyethylenimine (lPEI, 25 kDa) nanoparticles' (LPN) series was synthesized by varying percentage of cross-linking with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDE) and their size, surface charge, morphology, pDNA protection/release, cytotoxicity and transfection efficiency were evaluated. Synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) were spherical in shape (size: ∼109 - 235 nm; zeta potential: +38 to +16 mV). These NPs showed increased buffering capacity with increasing percent cross-linking and also exhibited excellent transfection efficiency (i.e., ∼1.3 - 14.7 folds in case of LPN-5) in comparison with lPEI and the commercial transfection agents used in this study. LPN-5 based GFP-specific siRNA delivery resulted in ∼86% suppression of targeted gene expression. These particles were relatively nontoxic in vitro (in cell lines) and in vivo (in Drosophila). In vivo gene expression studies using LPN-5 in Balb/c mice through intravenous injection showed maximum expression of the reporter gene in the spleen. These results together demonstrate the potential of these particles as efficient transfection reagents. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR The authors demonstrate a novel method of synthesizing linear PEI nanoparticles to utilize these as transfection agents.

Abstract
A proteoglycan (PG) monomer is a macromolecule consisting of one or more glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains attached to a core protein. PGs have signaling roles and modulatory functions in the extracellular matrix and at the cell surface. To elucidate the functions of higher-order PG structures, pseudoPGs that imitate the PG structure were prepared to develop probes and affinity adsorbents. Poly-L: -lysine (PLL) or polyacrylamide (PAA) was coupled with various GAGs, then biotinylated, and the remaining amino groups were blocked to obtain the pseudoPG probes, biotinyl PLL (BPL)- or PAA (BPA)-GAGs. Lactoferrin exhibited 30-times higher affinity toward BPL-heparin than the conventional single-strand probe, biotin-hydrazide-heparin. Heparin-PLL was immobilized on a formyl-Sepharose and compared with the Hep-Sepharose in which heparin was directly immobilized to amino-Sepharose. Screening for ligands in normal rat brain revealed several proteins that specifically bound to either of the two adsorbents, indicating that the heparin-binding proteins exhibit specific recognition depending on the higher-order structure of the PG.

Abstract
Beta-glucuronidase is a lysosomal enzyme that plays an essential role in normal turnover of glycosaminoglycans and remodeling of the extracellular matrix components in both physiological and inflammatory states. The regulation mechanisms of enzyme activity and protein targeting of beta-glucuronidase have implications for the development of a variety of therapeutics. In this study, the effectiveness of various carbohydrate-immobilized adsorbents for the isolation of bovine liver beta-glucuronidase (BLG) from other glycosidases was tested. Beta-glucuronidase and contaminating glycosidases in commercial BLG preparations bound to and were coeluted from adsorbents immobilized with the substrate or an inhibitor of beta-glucuronidase, whereas beta-glucuronidase was found to bind exclusively with lactamyl-Sepharose among the adsorbents tested and to be effectively separated from other enzymes. Binding and elution studies demonstrated that the interaction of beta-glucuronidase with lactamyl-Sepharose is pH dependent and carbohydrate specific. BLG was purified to homogeneity by lactamyl affinity chromatography and subsequent anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Lactose was found to activate beta-glucuronidase noncompetitively, indicating that the lactose-binding site is different from the substrate-binding site. Binding studies with biotinyl glycoproteins, lipids, and synthetic sugar probes revealed that beta-glucuronidase binds to N-acetyllactosamine/lactose-containing glycoconjugates at neutral pH. The results indicated the presence of N-acetyllactosamine/lactose-binding activity in BLG and provided an effective purification method utilizing the novel carbohydrate binding activity. The biological significance of the carbohydrate-specific interaction of beta-glucuronidase, which is different from the substrate recognition, is discussed.

Abstract
A solubility-insolubility transition assay was used to screen the bark and stems of seven leguminous trees and plants for self-aggregatable lectins. Novel lectins were found in two trees, Robinia pseudoacacia and Wisteria floribunda, but not in the leguminous plants. The Robinia lectin was isolated from coexisting lectin by combined affinity chromatographies on various sugar adsorbents. The purified lectins proved to be differently glycosylated glycoproteins. One lectin exhibited the remarkable characteristics of self-aggregatable lectins: localization in the bark of legume trees, self-aggregation dissociated by N-acetylglucosamine/mannose, and coexistence with N-acetylgalactosamine/galactose-specific lectins, which are potential endogenous receptors. Self-aggregatable lectins are a functional lectin group that can link enhanced photosynthesis to dissociation of glycoproteins.

Abstract
A cross-linked leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) seed gum (CLLSG) matrix was prepared for the isolation of galactose-specific lectins by affinity chromatography. The matrix was evaluated for affinity with a known galactose-specific lectin from the seeds of snake gourd (Trichosanthes anguina). The matrix preparation was simple and inexpensive when compared to commercial galactose-specific matrices (i.e. about 1.5 US dollars/100 ml of matrix). The current method is also useful for the demonstration of the affinity chromatography technique in laboratories. Since leucaena seeds are abundant and inexpensive, and the matrix preparation is easy, CLLSG appears to be a promising tool for the separation of galactose-specific lectins.

Abstract
Cornstarch used as a donning powder on natural rubber latex (NRL) gloves adsorbs NRL proteins. During glove use, powder-carried proteins can be aerosolized and can cause allergic reactions in NRL sensitized individuals. The amount of NRL proteins bound to glove powder and its relative relationship to the total amount of proteins on the glove has not been studied, due to the difficulty in measuring proteins on powder. Using the ELISA inhibition assay for NRL proteins [Standard test method for the immunological measurement of antigenic protein in natural rubber and its products. In: The Annual Book of ASTM Standards; ASTM: West Conshohocken, PA, 2000; ASTM D 64-0] we have investigated possible protocol modifications in order to include measurement of proteins bound to glove powder, as well as the water-extractable glove proteins. Possible interference of the starch itself was evaluated by adding clean cornstarch to the assay. No significant interference was observed with powder concentrations below 5 mg/mL. We analyzed 19 extracts of powdered surgical and examination gloves before and after removal of the particulate component. Comparison of NRL glove extracts with, and without, the cornstarch powder fraction indicated significant variations in the ratios of powder-bound protein and corresponding water-extractable protein. The ratios did not appear to correlate with either the total protein on the glove, the glove weight, or the total amount of powder on the glove. However, when virgin glove powders were exposed to NRL proteins, binding was proportional to the protein concentration in the suspension. Temperature in the range from 4 degrees C to 37 degrees C, did not affect binding intensity, while a higher pH resulted in a higher level of protein associated with, or bound to, the starch. The major differences in the propensity for NRL protein binding were observed among different glove powders. The data indicate that the amount of protein that binds to glove powder does not depend only on the initial protein levels in the raw NRL. More likely, other physical or chemical factors introduced during the manufacturing process, as well as the properties of the donning powder itself, may influence protein binding. Moreover, we demonstrated that the ELISA inhibition assay could be successfully modified for quantitation of proteins adsorbed on the glove powder, together with water-extractable proteins.

Abstract
Solid-phase biosynthetic reactions, followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis (MALDI-TOF), was used to gain insight into the biosynthesis of pectin oligomers. Sepharose supports bearing long pectic oligogalacturonides (OGAs) anchored through a disulfide-containing cleavable linker, were prepared. The OGAs (degrees of polymerization of 13 and 14) were efficiently immobilized through the reducing end via formation of an oxime linkage. These OGA-derivatized matrices were subsequently employed in novel solid-phase enzymatic reactions, with the pectin biosynthetic enzyme, alpha-1,4-galacturonosyltransferase, GalAT (solubilized from Arabidopsis thaliana) and the glycosyl donor, uridine diphosphate-galacturonic acid (UDP-GalA). Solid-supported biosynthesis was followed by cleavage of the immobilized OGAs and direct analysis of the products released into the liquid phases by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. In time course studies conducted with an immobilized (alpha-D-GalA)14 and limiting amounts of the glycosyl donor, the predominant product was an OGA extended by one GalA residue at the non-reducing end (i.e., (GalA)15). When UDP-GalA was added in approximately excess compared to immobilized (GalA)13, OGAs up to the 16-mer were synthesized, confirming the non-processivity of the GalAT in vitro.

Abstract
As a prerequisite to solid-phase and sequence analyses and for the study of the fine structure of pectin, we have developed oriented and chemoselective methodologies to couple model pectin fragments onto a solid support. Polyethylene glycol polyacrylamide (PEGA) resins were selected due to their excellent swelling properties in a wide range of solvents, including water, and their easy accessibility to enzymes. Following appropriate derivatization of amino-terminated PEGA resins, oligomers of alpha-D-galacturonic acid (GalA), up to the trimer, were anchored to the support through their reducing end. In addition to reductive amination, the strategies included the formation of an oxime bond, a glycosyl hydrazide, and a pyroglutamyl ring. Further, we developed a new immobilization approach based on the formation of a thiazolidine ring. All methods proved efficient and did not require modification of the GalA oligomers prior to coupling. In addition, very mild conditions and few steps for derivatization of the support were required. Immobilization by thiazolidine ring and oxime bond formation were the preferred methods, given the stability of the linkages formed, their compatibility with aqueous solvents, the few number of steps required, and their potential for application to larger pectin fragments. Thiazolidine and pyroglutamyl anchoring were developed further by the insertion of a disulfide bond which allowed release of the saccharides under mild, selective conditions.

Abstract
A lectin from the fruiting body of Psathyrella velutina has been used as a specific probe for non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues. We reveal in this report that P. velutina lectin recognizes a non-reducing terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid residue in glycoproteins and oligosaccharides. Binding of biotinyl P. velutina lectin to N-acetylneuraminic acid residues was prevented by desialylation of glycoconjugates and was distinguished from the binding to N-acetylglucosamine. Sialooligosaccharides were retarded or bound and eluted with N-acetylglucosamine on a P. velutina lectin column, being differentiated from each other and also from the oligosaccharides with non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine which bound more strongly to the column.

Abstract
Several sialylated and fucosylated oligosaccharides, based upon the N-acetyllactosaminyl core structure, have been synthesized from a single trisaccharide glycoside, beta-D-GlcNAc-(1-->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-OCH2(CH2)++ +7CO2CH3, by the sequential use of several glycosyltransferases and one sialidase. In these chemoenzymic syntheses, selective internal monofucosylation of a dimeric N-acetyl-lactosaminyl tetrasaccharide is achieved via two routes. It is demonstrated that the pentasaccharide beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1-->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-[alpha- L-Fuc-(1-->3)]-beta-D-GlcNAc-OCH2(CH2)7-CO2CH3 is an acceptor for the rat liver beta-D-Gal-(1-->3/4)-D-Glc-NAc alpha 2,3- and beta-D-Gal-(1-->4)-D-GlcNAc alpha 2,6-sialyltransferases. Among the structures obtained is the terminal hexasaccharide of the CD-65/VIM-2 epitope.

Abstract
The task of purifying monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and human recombinant antithrombin III (rATIII) from cell culture supernatant was carried out using two different approaches, both based on the use of membraneous matrices. The first approach employed a strongly acidic and a strongly basic membrane ion exchanger, which were evaluated for their ability to purify monoclonal antibodies and the human active recombinant antithrombin III from cell culture supernatant. Within minutes gram amounts of product could be purified in a high-flux system, specially developed for this purpose, achieving purities of 80% for MAbs and 75% for rATIII, respectively. The capacity of the acidic membrane ion exchanger for MAbs was found to be 1 mg/cm2 with recoveries up to 96% and that of the basic membrane ion exchanger for rATIII was 0.15 mg/cm2 with recoveries up to 91%. The second approach consisted of using heparin, a mucopolysaccharide with a strong affinity towards ATIII, coupled to amine-modified or epoxy-activated membranes by reductive amination, for the purification of rATIII. The ATIII binding capacities of the membranes were found to be 91 micrograms/cm2 for the amine-modified and 39 micrograms/cm2 for the epoxy-activated membrane, achieving purities of 75%. The coupling proved to be fairly stable over a period of 5 months and the membranes remained operable even after steam sterilization and treatment with sodium dodecyl sulphate. Final purification in both instances was carried out by gel filtration.

Abstract
To determine the carbohydrate-binding site of Bauhinia purpurea lectin (BPA), a D-galactose- and lactose-binding lectin, a peptide which interacts with lactose was purified from endoproteinase Asp-N digests of BPA by chromatography on a lactose-Sepharose column. It consists of nine amino acids and its amino acid sequence is Asp-Thr-Trp-Pro-Asn-Thr-Glu-Trp-Ser. A tryptic fragment with the ability to interact with lactose was also purified and found to contain this sequence, consisting of nine amino acids. This nonapeptide was aligned in a part of the metal-binding region conserved in all legume lectins. The chemical synthesis of the nonapeptide was carried out by a solid-phase method and the synthetic peptide showed a lactose-specific binding activity in the presence of calcium. A chimeric lectin gene was constructed using a cDNA coding BPA in which the nonapeptide sequence was replaced by the corresponding region of the alpha-D-mannose binding Lens culinaris lectins. Although BPA is specific for beta-D-galactose, the chimeric lectin expressed in Escherichia coli was found to bind alpha-D-mannosyl-bovine serum albumin and this binding was inhibited by D-mannose.

Abstract
Methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer (MMAC) is a water-insoluble polymer with an acid anhydride group which reacts with amino groups of ligands to form stable amide bonds. MMAC was used to immobilize protein ligands on two kinds of supports, the wells of plastic microtitre plates for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and related methods, and gels for affinity adsorbents. The wells were first coated with MMAC and then allowed to react with proteins. The immobilization of proteins by this method was efficient and occurred in a dose-dependent manner. Shodex Et123, a gel having amino groups, was incubated with MMAC, and then the activated Shodex was used to immobilize high concentrations of proteins. Concanavalin A-Shodex thus obtained had high affinities and was successfully used for the high-performance liquid affinity chromatography of sugar derivatives on a short column.

Abstract
A novel D-mannose-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-specific lectin of Sophora japonica bark, B-SJA-II, which showed self-aggregation based on sugar specificity, was purified by affinity chromatography on maltamyl-Sepharose subsequent to chromatographic separation on lactamyl-Sepharose to remove a major D-galactose-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine specific lectin, B-SJA-I. However, the yield of this method was low as a result of the sugar-specific precipitation and binding to other glycoproteins. A modified method was developed to circumvent this problem. All the purification procedures, except for the final chromatographic separation, were carried out in the presence of the haptenic sugar and the sugar-specific adsorption of B-SJA-II onto the adsorbent was carried out in a dialysis bag by gradually removing the sugar. This method gave a yield eight times higher than the original method.

Abstract
A lectin from Japanese jack bean (Canavalia gladiata agglutinin, CGA) was purified by affinity chromatography on a maltamyl-Sepharose column. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly(acrylamide) gel electrophoresis, CGA was shown to have a protein subunit with a mol. wt. of 30,000. CGA has an amino acid composition similar to that of Concanavalin A. The lectin activity of CGA could be detected not only by hemagglutination assay with trypsinized human erythrocytes but also by the binding assay with intact horseradish peroxidase. The binding method could determine CGA in a concentration ranging from 50 to 500 ng/mL. The quantitative-inhibition studies of the binding indicated that CGA has sugar-binding specificities similar to those of concanavalin A.

Abstract
Three toxins, abrin-I, -II, and -III, and two agglutinins, APA-I and -II, were purified from the seeds of Abrus precatorius by lactamyl-Sepharose affinity chromatography followed by gel filtration and DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. Abrin-I did not bind on DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography and the bound abrin-II, abrin-III, APA-I, and APA-II were eluted with a sodium acetate gradient. The identity of each protein was established by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. The relative molecular weights are abrin-I, 64,000; abrin-II and abrin-III, 63,000 each: APA-I, 130,000; and APA-II, 128,000. Isoelectric focusing revealed microheterogeneity due to the presence of isoforms in each protein. Toxicity and binding studies further confirmed the differences among the lectins. The time course of inhibition of protein synthesis in thymocytes by the toxins showed lag times of 78, 61, and 72 min with Ki's of 0.55, 0.99, and 0.74 ms-1 at a 0.63 nM concentration of each of abrin-I, -II, and -III, respectively. A Scatchard plot obtained from the equilibrium measurement for the lectins binding to lactamyl-Sepharose beads showed nonlinearity, indicating a cooperative mode of binding which was not observed for APA-I binding to Sepharose 4B beads. Further, by the criterion of the isoelectric focusing profile, it was shown that the least toxic abrin-I and the highly toxic abrin-II isolated by lactamyl-Sepharose chromatography were not retained on a low-affinity Sepharose 4B matrix, which signifies the necessity of using a high-affinity matrix for the purification of the lectins.

Abstract
A procedure for the carbohydrate analysis of glycoproteins electrotransferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane is described. The glycoproteins (plant lectins, transferrin, and vitronectin) were first separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then electroblotted onto a membrane. Each of the glycoprotein bands visualized by staining with Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 was excised from the membrane and subjected to direct hydrolysis either in 2.5 M trifluoroacetic acid at 100 degrees C for 6 h for neutral sugars and hexosamines, or in 0.05 M H2SO4 at 80 degrees C for 1 h for sialic acids. The hydrolysate obtained was analyzed for neutral sugars, hexosamines, and sialic acids independently by three different systems of high-performance liquid chromatography. The analytical values were reproducible with reasonable accuracy and agreed with those expected with recoveries of 57-66%. The method was successfully applied to a mannose-specific lectin of Sophora japonica bark, which is composed of four different subunits that aggregate sugar specifically. Because the four subunits could be separated by SDS-PAGE alone, the method proved useful for determining their carbohydrate compositions. Three of them were shown to contain carbohydrates typical of N-linked oligosaccharides of plant origin, which agreed well with the results of the binding assay carried out on a membrane using various horseradish peroxidase-labeled lectins.

Abstract
Affinity chromatography provides a powerful tool for isolation of carbohydrate-binding proteins. However, the choice of the ligand and spacer has an important impact on effectiveness. The influence of several different ligands on qualitative and quantitative aspects of the purification of two beta-galactoside-specific lectins has been evaluated. Sepharose was modified by coupling four types of neoglycoproteins (galactosylated or lactosylated bovine serum albumin with increasing sugar content) and two naturally occurring asialoglycoproteins at similar densities. Carbohydrate ligands at essentially equal density were made accessible to the lectins by seven commonly used methods. The yield of mistletoe lectin was high when lactosylated neoglycoproteins were used for separation. For these resins the sugar incorporation exceeded 10 sugar groups per protein carrier molecule. The yield was similarly high with the asialoglycoproteins and with lactose; the sugar was coupled to the resin as a p-aminophenyl derivative or by means of divinyl sulfone activation. An epoxy group in linkages of galactose or lactose decreased the binding capacity. A quantitatively similar degree of protein yields was obtained for the beta-galactoside-binding protein of bovine heart, although different proteins were obtained when neoglycoproteins were used as ligand. The nature of the affinity ligand in lectin purification can increase the yield and may also influence the profile of the carbohydrate-binding proteins.

Abstract
Six animal plasma vitronectins, human, horse, porcine, bovine, rabbit and chicken vitronectins purified by a novel method using two successive heparin affinity columns, showed marked diversity in molecular weight, immunoreactivity and carbohydrate composition. Chicken vitronectin had a distinctly different amino acid composition from the mammalian vitronectins; and bovine vitronectin was the only one to contain N-glycolylneuraminic acid as well as N-acetylneuraminic acid. Binding studies with horseradish peroxidase-labelled lectins indicated that all the vitronectins contained complex-type, sialylated N-linked sugar chains and that only porcine vitronectin had a fucosylated sugar chain. D-Galactosamine determinations and binding studies with horseradish peroxidase-peanut lectin on native and asialovitronectins revealed that the mammalian vitronectins other than human vitronectin contained O-linked sugar chains with sialic acid, chicken vitronectin contained unsialylated chains, and human vitronectin contained neither. The results indicate that diversities in vitronectins are apparent in their molecular weights and glycosylations, especially in the number and structure of O-linked sugar chains.

Abstract
1. The sugar specificities of four lactose-binding lectins were studied through the agglutination of adult and/or umbilical cord human erythrocytes (AHRBC and/or CHRBC). 2. Rana catesbeiana egg lectin specifically agglutinated both intact blood group A-AHRBC and intact blood group A-CHRBC. 3. Rana catesbeiana liver lectin agglutinated intact A-AHRBC much more strongly than intact A-CHRBC. 4. Xenopus laevis skin lectin nonspecifically agglutinated AHRBC and CHRBC. 5. Plecoglossus altivelis egg lectin specifically agglutinated intact B-AHRBC, but weakly agglutinated intact B-CHRBC. 6. Comparative studies of lectin-induced AHRBC or CHRBC agglutination clarified the sugar-binding specificities of these lectins.

Abstract
High-performance hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HP-HIC) was found to be an effective method for the separation of lectins into isolectin fractions. All of the purified lectins used in this study, Phaseolus vulgaris haemagglutinin (PHA), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA), and Arachis hypogaea agglutinin (AHA), were prepared by affinity chromatography. HP-HIC was performed on a column (15 X 2.1 cm) of TSK gel Phenyl-5PW at room temperature. The lectin sample, dissolved in 1.0 or 0.5 M ammonium sulphate in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) (PBS), was applied to the column and eluted with a linear gradient from 1.0 or 0.5 M ammonium sulphate in PBS to 0 M ammonium sulphate in PBS at a flow-rate of 4 ml/min. In the case of RCA, addition of glycerol to the elution buffer resulted in sharper isolectin peaks. PHA, WGA, RCA, and AHA were rapidly separated into 5, 5, 4, and 6 isolectins, respectively.

Abstract
The optimal conditions for immobilizing heparin through its terminal formyl group were investigated. When Amino Sepharose (1 g) was suspended in 1 ml of phosphate buffer (pH 7) containing 30 mg of heparin and 3 mg of sodium cyanoborohydride, with shaking at room temperature, the maximum immobilization of heparin (10 mg of heparin per gram of wet gel) was reached within 2 days. The Heparin Sepharose thus obtained was stable: no significant loss of the heparin content was observed after storage for 4 months at 4 degrees C. Heparin was also immobilized by the same method with Amino TSK gel G5000PW instead of Amino Sepharose 4B and was successfully applied to the high-performance liquid affinity chromatography of fibronectin and thrombin.

Abstract
Lectins were isolated from fruits and leaves of Clerodendron trichotomum by affinity chromatography on lactamyl-Sepharose. The purified lectins (C. trichotomum agglutinin: CTA) were homogeneous on SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the carbohydrate moiety was characterized by physicochemical and immunochemical methods. The asparagine-linked oligosaccharides were released by treatment with N-oligosaccharide glycopeptidase (almond, EC 3.5.1.52) of peptic glycopeptides obtained from fruit CTA, and separated by gel filtration and thin-layer chromatography. The structure of the predominant oligosaccharide was determined as Xyl beta 1----2 (Man alpha 1----6)(Man alpha 1----3)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc by high-performance liquid chromatography, sugar analysis and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The reactivity of the carbohydrate moiety of CTA toward various lectins was studied. Fruit and leaf CTAs were applied to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose sheets and detected with horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated lectins. Concanavalin A, lentil lectin, pea lectin, Vicia faba lectin and Ulex europeus agglutinin I, but not wheat germ lectin, bound to fruit CTA. The results indicate new binding properties of these plant lectins: a beta-xylosyl residue substituted at C-2 of the beta-mannosyl residue of N-linked oligosaccharide does not affect the binding with mannose-specific lectins, lentil, pea and Vicia faba lectins can bind to N-linked oligosaccharides containing an alpha-L-fucosyl residue attached to C-3 of the asparagine-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue, and Ulex europeus agglutinin I can bind to the (alpha 1----3)-linked fucose residue of the N-linked oligosaccharide.

Abstract
We have isolated by affinity chromatography a lectin from the seeds of the winged bean (Psophocrapus tetragonolobus) which agglutinated human (group A, B and O), sheep and rabbit, but not mouse erythrocytes. A molecular weight of 41,000 was obtained from gel filtration, and on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis a single polypeptide chain of molecular weight 35,000 was seen both before and after reduction. Isoelectric focussing of the lectin on polyacrylamide gel gave a single band with a calculated isoelectric point of 4.0. The lectin was found to be rich in acidic amino acids; cysteine was not detected. Carbohydrate analysis revealed no covalently bound sugars.

Abstract
This report describes the purification and isolation of the isolectins of peanut agglutinin (PNA). We find the affinity-purified PNA to have an amino acid composition similar to that reported by Lotan et al. (J. Biol. Chem. 250, 8518-8523 (1975)); however, our preparation contains three tryptophan residues per subunit rather than two as reported by Lotan et al. This higher tryptophan content is consistent with the extinction coefficient (E1 mg/ml 280) of 0.96 as previously reported (Fish et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 190, 693-698 (1978)). The PNA, purified by affinity chromatography on lactosyl-Sepharose, contains six major and three minor components capable of agglutinating neuraminidase-treated erythrocytes. Seven of the isolectins were obtained in a highly purified form by chromatofocusing, a column chromatographic technique which separates proteins on the basis of their isoelectric points. Isoelectric focusing of the purified isolectins indicates that they have the following isoelectric points: A, 6.70; B, 6.55; C, 6.35; D, 6.25; E, 6.10; F, 5.90; and G, 5.70. Preliminary studies on the subunit composition of the isolectins are also presented.
