FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Mutational analysis of the carbohydrate binding activity of the tobacco lectin [PDF]
At present the three-dimensional structure of the tobacco lectin, further referred to as Nictaba, and its carbohydrate-binding site are unresolved. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional model for the Nictaba domain based on the homology between ...

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]
The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.
