Distribution of glycan motifs at the surface of midgut cells in the cotton leafworm (Spodoptera littoralis) demonstrated by lectin binding [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Glycans are involved in many biological phenomena, including signal transduction, cell adhesion, immune response or differentiation. Although a few papers have reported on the role of glycans in the development and proper functioning of the insect midgut,

Promiscuity of the Euonymus carbohydrate-binding domain [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2012
Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the ‘classical’ plant lectins

Targets for the diagnosis of Acanthamoeba eye infections include four cyst wall proteins and the mannose-binding domain of the trophozoite mannose-binding protein [PDF]

mSphere
Acanthamoebae, which are free-living amoebae, cause corneal inflammation (keratitis) and blindness, if not quickly diagnosed and effectively treated.

A Novel High-Mannose Specific Lectin from the Green Alga Halimeda renschii Exhibits a Potent Anti-Influenza Virus Activity through High-Affinity Binding to the Viral Hemagglutinin

Marine Drugs, 2017
We have isolated a novel lectin, named HRL40 from the green alga Halimeda renschii. In hemagglutination-inhibition test and oligosaccharide-binding experiment with 29 pyridylaminated oligosaccharides, HRL40 exhibited a strict binding specificity for high-

Cloning and characterization of a mannose binding C-type lectin gene from salivary gland of Aedes albopictus

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The studies on sialomes have shown that hematophagous mosquito saliva consists of a lot of pharmacologically active proteins, in which C-type lectins have been identified and regarded as an important component of saliva.

Man-Specific Lectins from Plants, Fungi, Algae and Cyanobacteria, as Potential Blockers for SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Coronaviruses: Biomedical Perspectives

Cells, 2021
Betacoronaviruses, responsible for the “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome” (SARS) and the “Middle East Respiratory Syndrome” (MERS), use the spikes protruding from the virion envelope to attach and subsequently infect the host cells.

Status of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and complement system in COVID-19 patients and therapeutic applications of antiviral plant MBLs

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a virus called “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).” In the majority of patients, infection with COVID-19 may be asymptomatic or may cause only mild symptoms.
