The Binding of Concanavalin A to the Surface of Intact and Denuded Sea Urchin Eggs Affects the Fertilization Process by Altering the Structural Dynamics of Actin Filaments

open access: yesCells
Sea urchin eggs are surrounded by a network of extracellular matrix, consisting of the jelly coat (JC) and vitelline layer (VL). While the voluminous JC evokes acrosomal reaction in the approaching sperm, the tight VL ensheathing the plasma membrane of ...

Bacterial sialidases subvert the complement system through desialylation

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Bacterial sialidases (neuraminidases) are widely studied virulence factors, yet their impact on the complement system, a central component of innate immunity, remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the effects of six sialidases from five human pathogens, including Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium perfringens, Tannerella forsythia ...

Transcriptomic profiling of autoimmune hepatitis identifies TRAT1 as an in vitro negative regulator of NK cell effector functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
BackgroundT cell receptor-associated transmembrane adaptor 1 (TRAT1) is a well-characterized regulator of T-cell signaling, yet its functional roles in innate lymphocytes remain largely undefined.

The Concanavalin a Receptor From Human Erythrocytes in Lipid Bilayer Membranes. Interaction With Concanavalin a and Succinyl-Concanavalin A

Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes, 1983
The concanavalin A receptor from human erythrocyte membranes has been isolated by affinity chromatography using the mild, readily-dialyzable detergent dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The purified protein has been reincorporated into large unilamellar phospholipid vesicles using a detergent dialysis technique.

Actin co-caps with concanavalin A receptors

Nature, 1977
PREVIOUS studies have given mainly indirect1,2, and some direct3,4 evidence that the mobility of surface membrane receptors may be controlled by cytoplasmic microfilaments and microtubules. It has been proposed1,2 that the receptor–cytoskeletal complex may have important roles in cell–cell recognition, cell motility and cell division. This study, using

Synthetic concanavalin A receptors and erythrocyte agglutination

Nature, 1978
THERE is considerable evidence to suggest the involvement of cell surface carbohydrates in cell-cell recognition and adhesion in, for example, muscle cell fusion1 and the adherence of bacteria to cells2. It is not yet clear whether the selectivity of the recognition process is a consequence of the structure and sequence of the saccharide chain and/or ...

Mobility of Concanavalin a Receptors in Trypanosoma cruzi

The Journal of Parasitology, 1980
Furthermore, capping was inhibited when 0.2 M a-D-manoside was present in the system. When 250 ,/g/ml of FITC-Con A was incubated with the amastigotes at 4 C for 60 min, the amastigotes were agglutinated and showed a diffuse surface fluorescence. This pattern did not change when the temperature was raised to 37 C, indicating that the mobility of ...

Relationship of prolactin receptors to concanavalin A binding

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1979
Concanavalin A, which binds to specific carbohydrate determinants on the cell surface, was used to investigate the binding of prolactin to its receptors in liver membranes from female rats. The binding of 125I-labeled ovine prolactin to receptors was sharply inhibited by concanavalin A.
