Popis: |
A 37.4 kDa acid tolerant lectin was isolated and purified from dried fruiting bodies of Amanita hemibapha var. ochracea designated as AHL. The lectin was not adsorbed on DEAE-cellulose, but rather adsorbed on S-Sepharose and subjected to gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75. The purified lectin was immune from inhibition activities of metal ions. More over, AHL exhibited high agglutination activity on rabbit erythrocytes with accelerating Hg 2+ ions concentration. Partial peptide sequence analysis (VSNNLLTGPKVVR) of this lectin showed relative similarity to phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase [ATP]-like protein as predicted from Fragaria vesca subsp. Vesca . Interestingly, AHL displayed a strong affinity toward α-Lactose, making our study the first report associating Amanita species’ lectin specificity for α-Lactose to the best of our knowledge. |
