Abstract
The binding of 22 human liver hydrolase activities by immobilized lectins of six different carbohydrate specificities, namely alpha-D-mannose (glucose), D-N-acetylglucosamine, D-N-acetylgalactosamine, L-fucose, alpha-D-galactose and beta-D-galactose, were examined. Differences in binding among these enzymes and within specific enzymes were observed. For example, the neutral forms of alpha-mannosidase and beta-xylosidase were bound by the Ulex europaeus lectin I (specific for L-fucose), whereas the acidic forms were not. Bandierea simplicifolia lectin (specific for alpha-galactose) bound 65% of beta-glucuronidase activity; recycling experiments demonstrated complete binding of the enzyme that had been eluted with the competitor D-galactose and no binding of the fraction that was not initially bound. These results suggested the presence of two forms of this enzyme. Similar data were obtained for acidic beta-galactosidase activity. These experiments may provide the basis for the expanded use of immobilized lectins for purification and characterization of hydrolases and other glycoproteins.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
