Evolutionary relationships and expression analysis of EUL domain proteins in rice (Oryza sativa)
Rice, 2017 Background Lectins, defined as ‘Proteins that can recognize and bind specific carbohydrate structures’, are widespread among all kingdoms of life and play an important role in various biological processes in the cell.

Toxins, 2022 Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a group of proteins with rRNA N-glycosylase activity that catalyze the removal of a specific adenine located in the sarcin–ricin loop of the large ribosomal RNA, which leads to the irreversible inhibition of ...

Ricin trafficking in plant and mammalian cells [PDF]
, 2011 Ricin is a heterodimeric plant protein that is potently toxic to mammalian and many other eukaryotic cells. It is synthesized and stored in the endosperm cells of maturing Ricinus communis seeds (castor beans).

Messages From the Past: New Insights in Plant Lectin Evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Lectins are a large and diverse class of proteins, found in all kingdoms of life. Plants are known to express different types of carbohydrate-binding proteins, each containing at least one particular lectin domain which enables them to specifically ...

The carbon reactions of photosynthesis: role of lectins and glycoregulation
Photosynthetica, 2020 Modulation of glycoregulation in agriculture is reviewed here with emphasis on the elucidation of previously unknown pathways involving vacuolar lectins as well as a bypass of lectins that direct free sugars toward productivity.

Lectins with Potential for Anti-Cancer Therapy
Molecules, 2015 This article reviews lectins of animal and plant origin that induce apoptosis and autophagy of cancer cells and hence possess the potential of being developed into anticancer drugs. Apoptosis-inducing lectins encompass galectins, C-type lectins, annexins,

Antibacterial Activity of Plant Lectins: a Review
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2021 Lectins are proteins that form a heterogeneous group, capable of binding specifically and reversibly to carbohydrates. They occur in various types of organisms, having different functions, in plants they are present in almost all structures, however with

130 years of Plant Lectin Research [PDF]
Glycoconjugate Journal, 2020 Lectins are proteins with diverse molecular structures that share the ability to recognize and bind specifically and reversibly to carbohydrate structures without changing the carbohydrate moiety. The history of lectins started with the discovery of ricin about 130 years ago but since then our understanding of lectins has dramatically changed. Over the

Plant Protoplast Agglutination by Lectins [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1978 Concanavalin A, soybean (Glycine max L.) lectin, castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) lectin, and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) lectin were able to agglutinate protoplasts prepared from a variety of plant species. The seven other lectins tried were unable to agglutinate those protoplasts tested. Protoplasts prepared from 11 species were used.
