Abstract
Carbohydrate recognition by bovine serum conglutinin has been investigaed by inhibition and direct binding assays using glycoproteins and polysaccharides from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker''s yeast), and neoglycolipids derived from N-acetylglucosamine oligomers, mannobiose and human milk oligosaccharides. The results clearly show that conglutinin is a lectin which binds terminal N-acetylglucosamine, mannose and fucose residues as found in chitobiose (GlcNAc.beta.1-4GlcNAc), mannobiose (Man.alpha.1-3Man) and lacto-N-fucopentaose II [Fuc.alpha.1-4(Gal.beta.1-3)GlcNAc.beta.1-3Gal.beta.1-4Glc] respectively.This publication has 33 references indexed in Scilit:
