To date, a number of mannose-binding lectins have been isolated and characterized from
plants and fungi. These proteins are composed of different structural scaffold structures …

Mannose-specific lectins are widely distributed in higher plants and are believed to play a
role in recognition of high-mannose type glycans of foreign micro-organisms or plant …

The monocot mannose-binding lectins are an extended superfamily of structurally and
evolutionarily related proteins, which until now have been isolated from species of the …

To date, a number of mannose-specific lectins have been isolated and characterized from
seaweeds, especially from red algae. In fact, man-specific seaweed lectins consist of …

Mannose, an abundant cell surface monosaccharide binds to a diverse set of receptors,
which are involved in a variety of important cellular processes. Structural analysis has been …

Carbohydrate-binding proteins, also known as lectins, are valuable tools for biotechnology,
including pharmacological uses. Mannose lectins obtained from plant and animal sources …

Two lectins have been isolated from bluebell (Scilla campanulata) bulbs. From their isolation
by affinity chromatography, they are characterized as a mannose-binding lectin (SCAman) …

At present, over two hundred plant lectins have been isolated and characterized in some
detail with respect to their molecular structure, biochemical properties and carbohydrate …

Galanthus nivalisagglutinin (GNA, a 50 kDa tetramer) is a mannose-specific lectin of the
Amaryllidaceae family of bulb lectins. Crystal structures of GNA complexed with methyl-α-D …

Two novel lectins were isolated from roots and leaves of garlic. Characterization of the
purified proteins indicated that the leaf lectin ASAL is a dimer of two identical subunits of 12 …
