Abstract
Carcinomas express unique carbohydrates, known as tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs), on their surface. These are potential targets for anticancer vaccines; however, to date, no such vaccine has reached the clinic. One factor that may complicate the success of this effort is the lability of the glycosidic bond. Acetal-free carbohydrates are analogues that lack the glycosidic linkage by replacing either the endo or exo oxygen with a methylene. This chapter summarizes the seminal syntheses of the mucin TACAs, provides an overview of common techniques for the synthesis of carbasugars and C-glycosides, reviews the syntheses published to date of acetal-free TACA analogues, and provides an overview of their observed biological activity. We conclude by offering a summation of the challenges remaining to the field biologically and the potential that acetal-free TACAs have of answering several basic questions in carbohydrate immunology.

Abstract
Fungi are members of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that include yeasts and molds, as well as the most familiar member, mushrooms. Fungal lectins with unique specificity and structures have been discovered. In general, fungal lectins are classified into specific families based on their amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the approximately 80 types of mushroom and fungal lectins that have been isolated and studied to date. In particular, we have focused on ten fungal lectins (Agaricus bisporus, Agrocybe cylindracea, Aleuria aurantia, Aspergillus oryzae, Clitocybe nebularis, Marasmius oreades, Psathyrella velutina, Rhizopus stolonifer, Pholiota squarrosa, Polyporus squamosus), many of which are commercially available and their properties, sugar-binding specificities, structural grouping into families, and applications for biological research being described. The sialic acid-specific lectins (Agrocybe cylindracea and Polyporus squamosus) and fucose-specific lectins (Aleuria aurantia, Aspergillus oryzae, Rhizopus stolonifer, and Pholiota squarrosa) each showed potential for use in identifying sialic acid glycoconjugates and fucose glycoconjugates. Although not much is currently known about fungal lectins compared to animal and plant lectins, the knowledge accumulated thus far shows great promise for several applications in the fields of taxonomy, biomedicine, and molecular and cellular biology.

Abstract
SUMMARY We previously reported that cell wall protein fractions (CWPs) of the biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum have elicitor properties in sugar beet and wheat. Here we have examined the effect of treatment with the D-type of CWP, a fraction that contains two major forms (POD-1 and POD-2), on the induction of defence-related genes in sugar beet. Using PCR-based cDNA library subtraction, we identified five genes that were highly expressed in response to CWP treatment. The five genes are probably of oxalate oxidase-like germin (OxOLG), glutathione S-transferase (GST), 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and aspartate aminotransferase (AAT). In addition, we purified and characterized POD-1 and POD-2 and found that POD-1 induced all five genes, whereas POD-2 induced three of the genes, but not OxOLG or GST. A sugar beet bioassay indicated that CWP, POD-1 and POD-2 are each sufficient to induce resistance to sugar beet seedling disease caused by Aphanomyces cochlioides. Although carbohydrate analyses indicated that POD proteins were glycoproteins with similar carbohydrate compositions, containing approximately 15.0% carbohydrate by weight, their peptide portions have elicitor activity. Furthermore, cDNAs of POD-1 and POD-2 proteins were cloned, and the deduced amino acid sequences were found to be 82.9% identical. Characterization of their molecular structures indicated that they have an elicitin domain followed by a C-terminal domain with a high frequency of Ser, Thr, Ala and Pro, which is structurally similar to class III elicitins. However, phylogenetic analysis with 22 representative elicitin and elicitin-like proteins showed that POD-1 and POD-2 are distinct from previously defined elicitin and elicitin-like proteins. Therefore, POD-1 and POD-2 are novel oomycete cell wall elicitin-like glycoproteins.

Abstract
Agaricus bisporus agglutinin (ABA) is known as a useful lectin to detect T-antigen (Core1) disaccharide (Galbeta1-3GalNAcalpha) and related O-linked glycans. However, a recent X-ray crystallographic study revealed the presence of another intrinsic sugar-binding site, i.e., for GlcNAc. To confirm this possibility, detailed analysis was performed using two advanced methods: lectin microarray and frontal affinity chromatography (FAC). In the lectin microarray, intense signals were observed on ABA spots for both N-glycanase-treated and O-glycanase/beta1-4galactosidase-treated Cy3-labeled asialofetuin. This indicates substantial affinity for both O-linked and agalactosylated (GlcNAc-exposed) N-linked glycans. A further approach by FAC using 20 pNP and 130 PA-oligosaccharides demonstrated that ABA bound to Core1 (K(d) = 3.4 x 10(-6) M) and Core2 (1.9 x 10(-5) M) but not to Core3 and Core6 O-linked glycans. It also showed substantial affinity to mono-, bi-, and tri-antennary agalactosylated complex-type N-linked glycans (K(d) > 1.8 x 10(-5) M). These results establish ABA as a lectin having dual sugar-binding sites with distinct specificity, i.e., for Gal-exposed O-linked glycans and GlcNAc-exposed N-linked glycans.

Abstract
Characteristics of tear-film may be influenced by contact lens wear, because contact lenses present the habitual, direct rubbing action of the lids upon the covered ocular surface and may cause changes of tear-film. In the present paper, influence of contact lens on proteins in tear samples was studied using carbohydrates attached to the protein as a marker. We found that N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) was significantly decreased in tear samples of volunteers wearing contact lens (wearing, 86.1 +/- 57.7 nmol/ml; normal, 190.2 +/- 121.9 nmol/ml). Analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the amounts of major proteins in tear fluids, such as lactoferrin and secretory immunoglobulin A were not changed upon wearing contact lenses. In contrast, cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis revealed that mucin band in tear samples from contact lens wearers showed significant decrease as examined by lectin staining.

Abstract
Glycopolypeptide (1) carrying the beta-D-Gal-(1-->3)-alpha-D-GalNAc unit as a kind model of asialo-type mucin was synthesized through three steps: enzymatic synthesis of p-nitrophenyl disaccharide glycoside, reduction of the p-nitrophenyl group, and coupling of the amino group with the carboxyl group of poly(L-glutamic acid)s (PGA). In a similar manner, glycopolypeptides (2-7) carrying beta-D-Gal-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalNAc, beta-D-Gal-(1-->3)-beta-D-GlcNAc, beta-D-Gal-(1-->6)-alpha-D-GalNAc, beta-D-Gal-(1-->6)-beta-D-GalNAc, alpha-D-GalNAc, and beta-D-GalNAc, respectively, were synthesized as analogous polymers of polymer 1. Glycopolypeptides 8 and 9 as a mimic of sialo-type mucin were further prepared from polymers 1 and 2 as the acceptor of CMP-Neu5Ac by alpha2,3-(O)-sialyltransferase, respectively. Interactions of these glycopolypeptides with lectins were investigated with the double-diffusion test and the hemagglutination-inhibition assay and in terms of an optical biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance. Polymers 1 and 2 reacted strongly with peanut (Arachis hypogaea) agglutinin (PNA) and Agaricus bisporus agglutinin (ABA). On the other hand, polymers 8 and 9 through sialylation from polymers 1 and 2 reacted with ABA, but did not with PNA. Other polymers 3-7 did not show any reactivity for both the lectins. These results show that PNA acts precisely in an exo manner on the beta-D-Gal-(1-->3)-D-GalNAc sequence, while ABA acts in an endo manner. Polymers 6 and 7 substituted with GalNAc reacted strongly with soybean (Glycine max) agglutinin and Vicia villosa agglutinin B4, regardless of the configuration of the glycosidic linkage. The interaction of all polymers with Bauhinia purpurea agglutinin was much stronger than that of the corresponding sugars. Polymers 8 and 9 reacted with wheat germ (Triticum vulgaris) agglutinin (WGA), to which Neu5Ac residues are needed for binding, but polymers 1 and 2 did not. These sugar-substituted glycopolypeptides interacted specifically with the corresponding lectins. Furthermore, polymers 4-7 reacted with WGA, but the corresponding sugars did not. It suggests that the N-acetyl group along the PGA backbone has a cluster effect for WGA. The artificial glycopolypeptides were shown to be useful as tools and probes of carbohydrate recognition and modeling in the analysis of glycoprotein-lectin interactions.

Abstract
Astrocytes are important in the development and maintenance of functions of the CNS, acting in cooperation with neurons and other glial cells. The glycans on astrocyte membrane are believed to play important roles in cell-cell communication. Plant lectins are useful probes, because the lectins can bind to certain cell surface receptors and elicit cellular responses that are normally activated by endogenous ligands for those receptors. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Datura stramonium agglutinin (DSA) on astrocytes and characterized several molecular events. The addition of DSA to a culture of flat, polygonal, immature astrocytes derived from the neonatal rat cerebellum caused the cells to become stellate in shape, similar to astrocytes observed in vivo, concomitant with an increase in expression of astrocyte-specific intermediate filament (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP]) and inhibition of proliferation. These results indicate that DSA binds to astrocytes and triggers differentiation. We also found a decrease in the extent of tyrosine-phosphorylation of a 38-kDa protein. To elucidate the molecular events during astrocyte differentiation, we examined the effects of various signal transduction inhibitors on the transformation from the polygonal to stellate shape (stellation). Interestingly, only tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors, orthovanadate and phenylarsine oxide, showed an inhibitory effect. Our results suggest that DSA induced astrocyte differentiation acts via tyrosine dephosphorylation.

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
A facile strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of suitably protected O-glycosylated amino acid building blocks, namely, Nalpha-Fmoc-Ser-[Ac4-beta-D-Gal-(1-3)-Ac2-alpha or beta-D-GalN3]-OPfp and Nalpha-Fmoc-Thr-[Ac4-beta-D-Gal-(1-3)-Ac2-alpha or beta-D-GalN3]-OPfp is described. What is new and novel in this report is that Koenigs-Knorr type glycosylation of an aglycon serine/threonine derivative (i.e. Nalpha-Fmoc-Ser-OPfp or Nalpha-Fmoc-Thr-OPfp) with protected beta-D-Gal(1-3)-D-GalN3 synthon mediated by silver salts resulted in only alpha- and/or beta-isomers in excellent yields under two different reaction conditions. The subtle differences in stereoselectivity were demonstrated clearly when glycosylation was carried out using only AgClO4 at -40 degrees C which afforded a-isomer in a quantitative yield (alpha:beta = 5:1). On the other hand, the beta-isomer was formed exclusively when the reaction was performed in the presence of Ag2CO3/AgClO4 at room temperature. A complete assignment of 1H resonances to individual sugar ring protons and the characteristic anomeric alpha-1 H and beta-1 H in Ac4Galbeta(1-3)Ac2GalN3 alpha and/or beta linked to Ser/Thr building blocks was accomplished unequivocally by two-dimensional double-quantum filtered correlated spectroscopy and nuclear Overhauser enhancement and exchange spectroscopy NMR experiments. An unambiguous structural characterization and documentation of chemical shifts, including the coupling constants for all the protons of the aforementioned alpha- and beta-isomers of the O-glycosylated amino acid building blocks carrying protected beta-D-Gal(1-3)-D-GalN3, could serve as a template in elucidating the three-dimensional structure of glycoproteins. The synthetic utility of the building blocks and versatility of the strategy was exemplified in the construction of human salivary mucin (MUC7)-derived, O-linked glycopeptides with varied degrees of glycosylation by solid-phase Fmoc chemistry. Fmoc/tert-butyl-based protecting groups were used for the peptidic moieties in conjunction with acetyl sugar protection. The transformation of the 2-azido group into the acetamido derivative was carried out with thioacetic acid on the polymer-bound glycopeptides before the cleavage step. After cleaving the glycopeptide from the resin, the acetyl groups used for sugar OH-protection were removed with sodium methoxide in methanol. Finally, the glycopeptides were purified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and their integrity was confirmed by proton NMR as well as by mass spectral analysis. Secondary structure analysis by circular dichroism of both the glycosylated and nonglycosylated peptides revealed that carbohydrates did not exert any profound structural effect on the peptide backbone conformation.

Abstract
Mucins function as a protective layer rendering the apical surface of epithelial cells nonadhesive to a variety of microorganisms and macromolecules. Muc-1 is a transmembrane mucin expressed at the apical cell surface of mouse uterine epithelial cells (UEC) that disappears as UEC become receptive for embryo implantation (Surveyor, G. A., Gendler, S. J., Pemberton, L., Das, S. K., Chakraborty, I., Julian, J., Pimental, R. A., Wegner, C. W., Dey, S. K., and Carson, D. D. (1995) Endocrinology 136, 3639-3647). In the present study, the kinetics of Muc-1 assembly, cell surface expression, release, and degradation were examined in polarized mouse UEC in vitro. Mucins were identified as the predominant glycoconjugates synthesized, apically expressed, and vectorially released in both wild-type and Muc-1 null mice. When mucins were released, greater than 95% were directed to the apical compartment. Approximately half of the cell-associated mucins lost during a 24-h period were found in the apical compartment. Vectorial biotinylation detected apically disposed, cell-surface mucin and indicated that at least 34% of these mucins are released apically within 24 h. This suggests that release of mucin ectodomains is part of the mechanism of mucin removal from the apical cell surface of UEC. The half-lives of total cell-associated mucins and Muc-1 were 19.5 +/- 1 and 16.5 +/- 0.8 h, respectively. Muc-1 represented approximately 10% of the [3H]glucosamine-labeled, cell-associated mucins. Studies of the kinetics of intracellular transport of Muc-1 indicated transit times of 21 +/- 15 min from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus and 111 +/- 28 min from the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface. Collectively, these studies provide the first comprehensive description of Muc-1 and mucin maturation, metabolism, and release by polarized cells, as well as defining a major metabolic fate for mucins expressed by UEC. Normal metabolic processing appears to be sufficient to account for the removal of Muc-1 protein during the transition of UEC to a receptive state.

Abstract
Sialylated or sulfated derivatives and acrylamide copolymers of blood group T-(Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha-) and Tn-(GalNAc alpha) haptens were studied for their interaction with the lectins of peanut (PNA), Agaricus bisporus-(ABA), Helix pomatia-(HPA) and Vicia villosa B4-(VVA), using asialo Cowper's gland mucin (ACGM), which contains both T and Tn epitopes, as the coating substrate in enzyme linked lectin assay. Both T and Tn copolymers (-40 haptens) showed high affinity and strict specificity; although the T-copolymer at 0.05-0.07 microM concentration caused 50% inhibition of interaction of either PNA or ABA with ACGM, there was little inhibition of the HPA and VVA interactions even at over 100 times that concentration. The Tn-copolymer at 0.02-0.05 microM inhibited HPA or VVA interaction with ACGM by 50% but gave virtually no inhibition of PNA and ABA binding. Sialyl, sulfate or methyl group substitution on C-6 of GalNAc of the T-haptene did not prevent interaction with PNA but almost abolished interaction with ABA. In contrast, sialyl or sulfate group on C-6 and sulfate on C-3 of Gal in Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha- inhibited almost completely the interaction of PNA with ACGM but had only a slight effect on the interaction of ABA; C-6 substitution with either sialic acid or sulfate on GalNAc alpha- almost abolished the interaction of both HPA and VVA with ACGM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of seven lectins with various sugar-specificities on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by non-immunologic stimuli were studied. The non-immunologic stimuli used were three basic secretagogues, compound 48/80, bradykinin and PEI6 (polyethylenimine with a molecular weight of 600). In this study, we observed inhibition of the histamine release by Macckia amurensis mitogen and Solanum tuberosum agglutinin (100 micrograms/ml at 37 degrees C for 10 min), which are specific for sialic acid-alpha 2,3-N-acetyl galactosamine (Sia alpha 2,3GalNAc) and N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) oligomers, respectively. The effects of Phytolacca americana mitogen and Sambucus sieboldiana agglutinin were different. Three lectins specific for mucin type oligosaccharides inhibited the histamine release induced by compound 48/80 but not that induced by bradykinin or PEI6. Since bradykinin and PEI6 additively enhanced the histamine release induced by compound 48/80, they partially shared the same signalling pathways. Glycoproteins with bisecting GlcNAc and Sia residues, as described previously (Jpn. J. Pharmacol. 57, 79-90, 1991), seemed to be one of the action sites for compound 48/80, bradykinin and PEI6. In addition to the direct activation of the pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins, we propose another mechanism of non-immunologic stimuli via specific glycoproteins on rat peritoneal mast cells. The apparent sugar residues involved were asparagine-linked oligosaccharides with Sia (especially Sia alpha 2,3Gal), GlcNAc oligomers and/or bisecting GlcNAc.

Abstract
The Kurloff cell (KC), a natural killer lymphocyte, contains a large (10-microns diameter) periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive lysosome-like inclusion body called the Kurloff body (KB), which exhibits strong acid phosphatase activity. The presence of Sambucus nigra agglutinin (SNA)-reactive Neu5Ac(alpha 2,6)-D-Gal/Gal-NAc(beta 1,4)GlcNAc oligosaccharide sequences and the absence of the corresponding Neu5Ac(alpha 2,3) Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAA)-reactive sequence in the major 35-kDa N-glycosylproteins of the complex or hybrid type extracted from purified KC were established by Western-lectin-blotting of cytosolic extracts from purified KC. Moreover, these SNA-reactive sequences, or at least part of them, were shown to be borne by sialidase-sensitive KC acid isophosphatases. Thymic sections rich in KC, from estrogenized guinea pigs were examined by affino-histochemistry with these sialic acid-reactive lectins. The SNA-reactivity of thymic sections was quasi-exclusively confined to KC clusters, whereas the whole thymic section was negative for MAA. KC were not SNA-reactive following preincubation and incubation with 200 mM lactose. When submitted to enzymatic or mild chemical desialylation processes, the SNA-reactivity of the KC clusters was enhanced. The SNA-reactivity of KC clusters was completely abolished following prolonged chemical desialylation, whereas the PAS-positivity of KB remained unchanged. Even after a prolonged sialidase treatment, this SNA-reactivity was only reduced. Moreover, after both these desialylation processes, KC developed a heavier Ricinus communis agglutinin-reactivity, thus confirming the presence of penultimate Gal residues in their abundant SNA-reactive oligosaccharide sequences Neu5Ac(alpha 2,6)Gal(beta 1,4)GlcNAc. Such a selective lectin histochemical property provides a marker for detecting KC.

Abstract
2-Dansylamino-2-deoxy-D-galactose (GalNDns) has been shown to bind to peanut (Arachis hypogaea) agglutinin (PNA) in a saccharide-specific manner. This binding was accompanied by a five-fold increase in the fluorescence of GalNDns. The interaction was characterized by an association constant of 0.15 mM at 15 degrees and delta H and delta S values of -57.04 kJ.mol-1 and -118.1J.mol-1.K-1, respectively. Binding of a variety of other mono-, di- and oligo-saccharides to PNA, studied by monitoring their ability to dissociate the PNA GalNDns complex, revealed that PNA interacts with several T-antigen-related structures, such as beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-D-GalNAc, beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-GalpNAcOMe, and beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1----3)-Ser, as well as the asialo-GM1 tetrasaccharide, with comparable affinity, thus showing that this lectin does not discriminate between saccharides in which the penultimate sugar of the beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-D-GalNAc unit is the alpha or beta anomer, in contrast to jacalin (Artocarpus integrifolia agglutinin), another anti T-lectin which preferentially binds to beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-GalNAc and does not recognize beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-beta-D-GalNAc or the related asialo-GM1 oligosaccharide. These studies also indicated that, in the extended combining region of PNA which accommodates a disaccharide, the primary subsite (subsite A) is highly specific for D-galactose, whereas the secondary subsite (subsite B) is less specific and can accommodate various structures, such as D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, D-glucose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose.

Abstract
Lectin-gold complexes in the dark granules (DGs) and the dense substance (DS) of vallate taste buds were localized. Both the DGs and the DS were labelled with wheat-germ agglutinin, Ulex europeus agglutinin-I and peanut agglutinin. Their common reaction to these lectins suggested that the DGs contain carbohydrate components similar to those of the DS. The results provide cytochemical evidence that the DS in the taste pit represents, at least in part, the content of the DGs in the type 1 cells.

Abstract
The oligosaccharide chains of microheterogeneous bovine pancreatic DNAases were characterized by the lectin-nitrocellulose sheet method. The active fractions of the DNAases from column chromatography showed four major and several minor spots on a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel. They were transferred on to nitrocellulose sheets and treated with glycosidases (neuraminidase, endo-beta-N-acetyl glucosaminidase H or F, or peptide N-glycosidase F) and treated with peroxidase-coupled lectins (concanavalin A, Ricinus communis agglutinin or wheat-germ agglutinin). From the results, the most probable oligosaccharide types were proposed to be as follows: the four major spots contained components which had high-mannose type or hybrid-type oligosaccharides, such as those susceptible to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. In addition, spot 1 contained a complex-type biantennary oligosaccharide without sialic acid and spot 3 contained a tri- or tetra-antennary complex-type oligosaccharide with sialic acid. The component corresponding to spot 2 had a hybrid-type oligosaccharide chain with a 'bisecting' acetylglucosamine, linked 1-4 to the beta-mannose residue of the trimannosyl core, and the component corresponding to spot 4 had a high-mannose-type oligosaccharide chain.

Abstract
Various caseinoglycopeptide derivatives prepared from mammalian milk were evaluated as inhibitors of hemagglutinations mediated by Actinomyces viscosus Ny1, Streptococcus sanguis OMZ9, and, for comparative purposes, plant lectins from Arachis hypogaea and Bauhinia purpurea. It was found that recognition of the beta-D-galactose-(1----3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose carbohydrate chain by Actinomyces viscosus Ny1 organisms and Arachis hypogaea and B. purpurea agglutinins had similar structural requirements; in all cases, the desialylated bovine caseinoglycomacropeptide, on which several units of the above mentioned disaccharide are clustered, behaved as the most potent hemagglutination inhibitor. By contrast, none of the preparations tested inhibited erythrocyte agglutination by S. sanguis OMZ9. Thus, the desialylated bovine caseinoglycomacropeptide acts as a potent and specific inhibitor of oral Actinomyces adhesion to cell membranes (a soft surface) and could be used as a probe for the study of recognition mechanisms mediated by Actinomyces galactose-binding lectins. During the present study, both native and desialylated variants of the same bovine glycomacropeptide also totally prevented the adhesion of Actinomyces viscosus Ny1, S. sanguis OMZ9, and S. mutans OMZ176 to polystyrene surfaces. Comparative evaluations of various structurally different compounds gave the following results. Neither mono- nor disaccharides related to caseinoglycopeptide carbohydrates prevented adhesion; highly positively or negatively charged polypeptides and polysaccharides were either not or only moderately active. Besides these glycomacropeptides, an inhibitory activity was also exhibited by other mucin-type glycoproteins carrying short O-linked carbohydrate chains (including bovine submaxillary mucin), polyethylene glycol, and bovine serum albumin. Consequently, caseinoglycopeptide prevention of oral bacterial adhesion to polystyrene tubes (a hard surface) takes place with no species specificity and can be compared to nonspecific inhibition exhibited by various polymers with very different structural characteristics.

Abstract
The combining site of Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA1) was studied by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays. Of 31 complex carbohydrates tested, all except active and inactive antifreeze glycoproteins, Streptococcus group C polysaccharide, and native rat salivary glycoprotein, reacted strongly, and 22 completely precipitated the lectin, indicating that RCA1 has both a broad range of affinity and a low solubility of its carbohydrate-bound complex. Of the monosaccharides and glycosides tested for inhibition of precipitation, p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside was the best. It was about 6.4 times better than methyl beta-D-galactopyranoside. The beta anomer of glycosides of D-galactose was much more potent than the corresponding alpha anomer. Among the oligosaccharides tested, beta-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----6)-D-Gal was the best inhibitor, which was approximately 2/3 as active as p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside. It was approximately 1.4 times as active as beta-D-Gal-(1----4)-D-GlcNAc (N-acetyllactosamine), twice as active as beta-D-Gal-(1----3)-D-GlcNAc, and 4.5 times more active than lacto-N-tetraose. From the results, it can be concluded that; (a) hydrophobic interaction is important for binding; (b) the combining site of this lectin is at least as large as a trisaccharide; and (c) of the compounds studied, the trisaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----6)-D-Gal was the most complementary to the human blood group I Ma determinant beta-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----6)-D-Gal.

Abstract
The carbohydrate-binding specificities of lectins purified from Agaricus bisporus (ABA-I), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Bauhinia purpurea (BPA), Glycine max (SBA), and Vicia villosa (VVA-B4) have been studied by affinity chromatography on columns of the immobilized lectins, and quantitatively analyzed by frontal affinity chromatography. These five lectins could be classified into two groups with respect to their reactivities with typical mucin-type glycopeptides, beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1----3)-Ser/Thr (2) and alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1----3)-Ser/Thr (3). One group, which consists of ABA-I, PNA, and BPA, preferentially binds to 2, and the other, which consists of SBA and VVA-B4, shows higher affinity for 3 than for 2. Among the lectins tested, only ABA-I was found to bind to a sialylated glycopeptide, whic which was prepared from human erythrocyte glycophorin A and contains three three tetrasaccharide chains having the structure of alpha-NeuAc-(2----3)-beta-D-GAlp-(1----3)-NeuAC-(2----6)]-alpha-D-Galp NAc-(1----, with an association constant of 15 microM, whereas the association constants of the other four lectins for this sialylated glycopeptide were less than 3.5 mM. On the other hand, removal of the beta-D-galactopyranosyl group from a glycopeptide containing sequence 2 resulted in decreased association constants for the three lectins of the first group, especially ABA-I and PNA. The two lectins of the second group showed a high affinity for 3, but SBA preferentially interacted with oligosaccharides containing the alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1----3)-beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-D-GlapNAc sequence, prepared from a blood group A-active oligosaccharide.

Abstract
The cell type specificity of glycoconjugate synthesis between the epithelial and stromal cells of the uterus is described. Lactosaminoglycans (LAGs) constituted a major fraction of the cell-associated glycoconjugates synthesized by epithelial, but not stromal, cells. Furthermore, LAGs comprised the bulk (greater than 90%) of glycoconjugates that could be released from epithelial cell surfaces by proteases. Several lines of evidence indicate that the epithelial cell-specific lactosaminoglycans appear to interact directly with a cell surface galactosyltransferase (GalTase). This includes the observation that agents that perturb galactosyltransferase function also interrupt epithelial cell adhesion and cause LAG release from the cell layer. In addition, LAGs are galactosylated when UDP-[3H]galactose is added to intact epithelial cell layers. Interference with cell surface GalTase activity with alpha-lactalbumin or UDP-galactose, but not other agents, specifically interrupted epithelial cell adhesion; however, the same agents had absolutely no effect on stromal cells. Collectively, these studies describe the novel occurrence of lactosaminoglycans on cell surfaces in an adult tissue other than hematopoietic cells and provide evidence for cell type-specific involvement of lactosaminoglycans in uterine cell adhesion processes.

Abstract
The adherence of Actinomyces naeslundii to human epithelial (KB) cells is mediated by the interaction of a fimbrial lectin on this oral bacterium with epithelial cell receptors exposed by sialidase. The D-galactose- and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-reactive plant lectins from peanut and from Bauhinia purpurea inhibit this interaction. This report describes the partial purification and characterization of a 160-kilodalton (kDa) cell surface glycoprotein which is the principal receptor for these lectins. Radioiodinated lectins detected a band of 160 kDa on sialidase-treated Western blots of epithelial cell extracts but did not detect bands on nontreated filters. However, wheat germ agglutinin was reactive with the 160-kDa band on filters that were not treated with sialidase, suggesting that this lectin recognizes the sialic acid residues of this molecule. The 160-kDa component was partially purified from n-octylglucoside extracts of the epithelial cells by wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography. This molecule was metabolically labeled with D-[14C]glucosamine and labeled at the cell surface by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination or periodate oxidation followed by sodium borotritide reduction. Incubation of epithelial cells with sialidase before extraction resulted in the loss of the 160-kDa band and the appearance of a band at 200 kDa which was directly reactive with 125I-labeled peanut agglutinin. These results indicate that the 160-kDa glycoprotein on the surface of the epithelial cell serves as a receptor for the agglutinins from the peanut and B. purpurea and presumably the fimbrial lectin of actinomyces.

Abstract
A rapid and convenient method was established for analysis of the N-linked carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins on nitrocellulose sheets. Proteins were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose sheets, reacted with peroxidase-coupled lectins, and detected by color development of the enzyme reaction. Four glycoproteins having N-linked oligosaccharide chains were used as test materials: Taka-amylase A (which has a high-mannose-type chain), ovalbumin (high-mannose-type chains and hybrid-type chains), transferrin (biantennary chains of complex type), and fetuin (triantennary chains of complex type and O-linked-type chains). Concanavalin A interacted with Taka-amylase A, transferrin, and ovalbumin but barely interacted with fetuin. After treatment of the glycoproteins on a nitrocellulose sheet with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, transferrin reacted with concanavalin A but Taka-amylase A and ovalbumin did not. Wheat germ agglutinin interacted with Taka-amylase A but not ovalbumin; therefore, they were distinguishable from each other. Fetuin and transferrin were detected by Ricinus communis agglutinin or peanut agglutinin after removal of sialic acid by treatment with neuraminidase or by weak-acid hydrolysis. Erythroagglutinating Phaseolus vulgaris agglutinin detected fetuin and transferrin. Thus, the combined use of these procedures distinguished the four different types of N-linked glycoproteins. This method was also applied to the analysis of membrane glycoproteins from sheep red blood cells. The terminally positioned sugars of sialic acid, alpha-fucose, alpha-galactose, and alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine were also detected with lectins from Limulus polyphemus, Lotus tetragonolobus, Maclura pomifera, and Dolichos biflorus, respectively.

Abstract
The adherence of Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45 to monolayer cultures of human epithelial cell lines was mediated by the lactose-sensitive fimbriae (type 2) of strain WVU45. The attachment of Actinomyces viscosus T14V, which has both types 1 and 2 fimbriae, was approximately half that of A. naeslundii, and only minimal attachment of A. naeslundii and A. viscosus mutants lacking type 2 fimbriae was detected. The adherence of strain WVU45 was enhanced two- to threefold by neuraminidase treatment of the epithelial cells. The Fab fragments of antibodies which recognize the type 2 fimbriae inhibited the adherence of A. naeslundii WVU45 to the epithelial cells. The bacterial interaction with epithelial cells was inhibited by lactose, methyl-beta-D-galactoside, and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, but not by methyl-alpha-D-galactoside, cellobiose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, L-fucose, or D-mannose. To further characterize the epithelial cell receptors for the bacterial lectin, we utilized several plant and invertebrate lectins as potential inhibitors of bacterial adherence. Lectins from Bauhinia purpurea and Arachis hypogaea which recognize N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, D-galactose, and D-galactose-beta-(1----3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine inhibited bacterial attachment, and binding of these lectins to epithelial cells was enhanced by the addition of neuraminidase. Lectins reacting with alpha-linked D-galactose, alpha-linked N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, D-mannose, or sialic acid were not inhibitory. Under similar assay conditions, adherence of a mannose-sensitive strain of Escherichia coli was inhibited by concanavalin A but not by the lectin from Bauhinia purpurea. These results indicate that certain plant lectins have specificities similar to that of the actinomyces fimbrial lectin and are, therefore, useful probes for identifying receptors on epithelial cells for certain bacteria.

Abstract
The binding properties of Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Bauhinia purpurea alba (BPL), Maclura pomifera ( MPL ) and Sophora japonica (SJL) lectins were studied by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays, demonstrating them to be most specific for DGal beta 1---- 3DGalNAc residues. Additionally, each lectin had its own binding characteristic such as different binding activities to DGal beta 1---- 4DGlcNAc or DGal beta 1---- 3DGlcNAc beta 1----linked oligosaccharides, and/or DGalNAc alpha 1----linked to the Ser or Thr of the protein moiety. These differential binding characteristics can be used for investigating fine differences of the carbohydrate structure of the glycoconjugates, especially those having DGal beta 1---- 3DGalNAc residues as terminal non-reducing ends.

Abstract
In the presence of silver carbonate-silver perchlorate and dichloromethane-toluene as solvent, 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosyl chloride, and derivatives of L-serine and -L-serine and -L-threonine, gave, with high stereoselectivity, the benzyl esters of N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-3-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-L-serine (7) and -L-threonine (22), which were hydrogenolyzed and deblocked to give 3-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-L-serine and -L-threonine, respectively, corresponding to the hapten of the Tn-antigen. Reduction of the azido group of 7, followed by selective O-deacetylation and benzylidenation, gave a derivative that was glycosylated with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide to yield a disaccharide. A similar sequence of reactions, starting from 22, gave the L-threonine analog. Removal of the protecting groups from both compounds afforded O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 to 3)-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-L-serine and -L-serine and -L-threonine, respectively, the hapten of the T-antigen.

Abstract
The binding of the disaccharides methyl beta-D-lactoside and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranose [beta-D-Gal-(l leads to 3)-D-GalNAc] to peanut agglutinin was studied by ultraviolet difference spectroscopy. The magnitude of the difference spectra varied with the concentration of the carbohydrates; association constants and thermodynamic parameters were determined from titration experiments at different temperatures. The enthalpy and entropy changes for binding of methyl beta-D-lactoside were found to be delta H degree = -65 +/- 4 kJ mol-1, delta S degree = -156 +/- 14 J mol-1 K-1. For beta-D-Gal-(1 leads to 3)-D-GalNAc the observed thermodynamic parameters were delta H degree = -78 +/- 5 kJ mol-1,, delta S degree = -177 +/- 16 J mol-1 K-1. For both disaccharides, the enthalpy change upon binding to the lectin is much larger than found for the binding site on peanut agglutinin. The observed parameters are compared with those found for the binding of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides to other lectins and to lysozyme. Molecular models of the minimum energy conformers of beta-D-Gal(1 leads to 3)-D-GalNAc and methyl beta-D-lactoside are used to interpret the interaction of these, and structurally related ligands, with the peanut agglutinin binding site.

Abstract
A lectin has been isolated from extracts of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) by affinity chromatography on human immunoglobulin-Sepharose. The lectin reacts with human erythrocytes without specificity for the A, B and 0 blood group. Erythrocytes of animal origin are also agglutinated by the lectin. The hemagglutinating activity is abolished by heating the lectin solution at 70 degrees C or by dialysis against strong acid buffers. The hemagglutination reaction is not inhibited by monosaccharides. Lectin-glycoprotein interactions are described and discussed.

Abstract
The T antigenic determinant was synthesized in the form 8-methoxycarbonyloctyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (6) (beta-D-Gal-(1 goes to 3)-alpha-D-GalNAcO(CH2)8CO2Me). This T-hapten was used to prepare a T-BSA artificial antigen (7) and an immunoadsorbent (8), which were shown to possess the expected immunological properties. Nuclear Overhauser enhancements of the signals for anti-periplanar H-2' and the syn-axial H-3' of the beta-D-galactopyranosyl group were observed on saturation of H-1'. The signal for H-3 of the 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside residue was also enhanced.
