Nucleocytoplasmic plant lectins
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2010During the last decade it was unambiguously shown that plants synthesize minute amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins upon exposure to stress situations like drought, high salt, hormone treatment, pathogen attack or insect herbivory. In contrast to the 'classical' plant lectins, which are typically found in storage vacuoles or in the extracellular ...

Antitumor effect of plant lectins
Natural Toxins, 1997AbstractThis review examines the literature data concerning the biological activity of plant lectins. Numerous studies have reported that these substances possess toxic, cytotoxic, antitumor, and anticarcinogenic properties. A brief description of the biological properties of plant lectins, as well as the effect of plant lectins on normal and malignant

Subunit assembly of plant lectins
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2007Lectins are a structurally diverse group of carbohydrate recognizing proteins that are involved in various biological processes and exhibit substantial structural diversity. Interestingly, in spite of having varied carbohydrate-binding specificities, they show modest variation in their secondary and tertiary structure.

The role of lectins in plant defence
The Histochemical Journal, 1995Recent progress in the search for the physiological role of plant lectins supports the idea that some of these proteins are involved in the defence mechanisms of the plant. To place the evidence in favour of such a defensive role in a broad perspective, a short overview is given of the most important plant pathogens and predators.

Antinutritional properties of plant lectins
Toxicon, 2004Lectins are carbohydrate binding (glyco)proteins which are ubiquitous in nature. In plants, they are distributed in various families and hence ingested daily in appreciable amounts by both humans and animals. One of the most nutritionally important features of plant lectins is their ability to survive digestion by the gastrointestinal tract of ...

Ribosome-inactivating lectins of plants [PDF]
A heterogeneous group of plant proteins are capable of enzymatically inactivating ribosomes by depurination of the invariant adenine in the 28S rRNA. Some of these proteins are heterodimers, containing a lectin subunit joined to an enzymatic subunit via a disulfide bond.
