Relationships in subtribe Diocleinae (Leguminosae; Papilionoideae) inferred from internal transcribed spacer sequences from nuclear ribosomal DNA

Phytochemistry, 2004
The complete sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS/5.8S) were determined for species belonging to six genera from the subtribe Diocleinae as well as for the anomalous genera Calopogonium and Pachyrhizus.

Chromosome evaluation of southern South American species of Camptosema and allied genera (Diocleinae - Phaseoleae - Papilionoideae - Leguminosae) [PDF]

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006
The genera Camptosema, Galactia and Collaea are grouped in a complex with exomorphological similarities and different criteria have been adopted to circumscribe them. The neotropical genus Camptosema in its southern distribution is represented by four species of which only the type, C. rubicundum, shows the diagnostic features of the genus.

Vasodilator effects of Diocleinae lectins from the Canavalia genus

Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2009
This study investigated and compared vascular actions of leguminous lectins obtained from the Canavalia genus (Canavalia brasiliensis, Canavalia gladiata, and Canavalia maritima) in the rat models of paw edema and isolated aorta. Paw edema was induced by subcutaneous injection of lectins (0.01-1 mg/kg) in animals pre-treated or not with indomethacin or

Crystal structure of Dioclea rostrata lectin: Insights into understanding the pH-dependent dimer-tetramer equilibrium and the structural basis for carbohydrate recognition in Diocleinae lectins

Journal of Structural Biology, 2008
The legume lectins from the subtribe Diocleinae, often referred to as concanavalin A-like lectins, are a typical example of highly similar proteins that show distinct biological activities. The pH-dependent oligomerization that some of these lectins undergo and the relative position of amino acids within the carbohydrate-binding site are factors that ...

Antinociceptive Activity of Lectins from Diocleinae Seeds on Acetic Acid-Induced Writhing Test in Mice

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2009
Diocleinae lectins administered per oral route in mice inhibited the abdominal constrictions induced by acetic acid. The percentage of the lectins antinociception varied from 61% for Canavalia grandiflora (ConGf) to 20% for Dioclea violacea. ConGf inhibited contortions at all doses tested but not in a dose-dependent manner, involving carbohydrate ...

Lackeya, a New Genus in Tribe Phaseoleae Subtribe Diocleinae (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae) from North America

Kew Bulletin, 1996
Galactia mohlenbrockii Maxwell was originally described in the genus Dolichos as D. multiflorus Torrey & Gray (1838) and later transferred to the genus Dioclea Kunth by Mohr (1901). The binomial Dioclea multiflora was widely accepted in North American Floras until Maxwell, in 1979, proposed its transfer to the genus Galactia P.

Demonstration of a Conserved Histidine and Two Water Ligands at the Mn²⁺ Site in Diocleinae Lectins by Pulsed EPR Spectroscopy

Biochemistry, 2000
Lectins from the Diocleinae subtribe, including Canavalia brasiliensis, Canavalia bonariensis, Canavalia grandiflora, Cratylia floribunda, Dioclea grandiflora, Dioclea guianensis, Dioclea rostrata, Dioclea violacea, and Dioclea virgata, have been recently isolated and characterized in terms of their carbohydrate binding specificities.

EVALUATION OF THE PROTEOLYTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THREE LECTINS FROM SUBTRIBE DIOCLEINAE USING ENZYMATIC ACTION, HEAT TREATMENT AND MOLECULAR MODELING

Journal of Food Biochemistry, 1999
The enzymatic digestion of the lectins from Canavalia brasiliensis, Dioclea grandiflora and Cratylia floribunda seeds was investigated by heat treatment and gel filtration chromatography. The potential sites of lectin cleavage by pepsin and trypsin was then determined by molecular modelling of the three-dimensional structure of D.grandiflora lectin ...
