Properties of Ulex europaeus II lectin isolated by affinity chromatography.
A lectin was isolated from Ulex europaeus seeds by affinity chromatography on affinity adsorbent prepared by copolymerization of acrylamide, N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide and maleylated hog stomach peptone. The lectin is homogeneous as judged by ultracentrifugation (s20,w = 6.4 S), electrophoretic and gel chromatography criteria; it contains 4.2% neutral sugar and 1.4% glucosamine. Its molecular weight is approx. 110,000 and the molecule consists of two noncovalently linked protomers which are formed by two covalently bound basic subunits (Mr = 30,000). The preparation contains three isolectins differing in the strength of interaction with specific sugars (cellobiose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) under the conditions of affinity electrophoresis. The lectin is non-specific with human ABO blood group system, the agglutination is inhibited by partial chitin hydrolysate, hog stomach peptone and high concentration of cellobiose.
