Partitioning ofCanavalia brasiliensisLectin in Polyethylene Glycol – Sodium Citrate Aqueous Two-Phase Systems

Separation Science and Technology, 2010
The partitioning of Canavalia brasiliensis (ConBr) lectin from Canavalia brasiliensis seeds was carried out in aqueous two-phase systems composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sodium citrate. The effect of PEG molecular weight (600, 1000, 2000, and 3350), pH (6.0, 7.0, and 8.0) and ionic strength (0, 2, 5, and 10% NaCl) on the partition behavior of ...

ConBr, a lectin fromCanavalia brasiliensisseeds, modulates signaling pathways and increases BDNF expression probably via a glycosylated target

Journal of Molecular Recognition, 2014
In the central nervous system, many receptors, ion channels and neurotransmitter transporters are glycoproteins, where the glycan chains are modulator elements. Lectins are proteins, which recognize and bind carbohydrate complexes. We have previously shown that ConBr, a lectin purified fromCanavalia brasiliensisseeds, produced antidepressant‐like ...

Structural analysis and anthelmintic activity of Canavalia brasiliensis lectin reveal molecular correlation between the carbohydrate recognition domain and glycans of Haemonchus contortus

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2018
Haemonchus contortus is one of the most economically important parasites infecting small ruminants worldwide. This nematode has shown a great ability to develop resistance to anthelmintic drugs, calling for the development of alternative control approaches.

Canavalia brasiliensis lectin attenuates diabetes endothelial dysfunction in rats: structural basis and implication of muscarinic/insulin receptors

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
In diabetes, the endothelium acquires tendency toward vasoconstriction, inflammation, and thrombosis, and are associated with the reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). Plant lectins from the Canavalia genus elicit endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in isolated rat aorta involving the participation of NO and the lectin domain. This study aimed
