Amaranth lectins present potencial antitumor properties
(Elsevier Science, 2015-01)
The possibility of reducing the risk of cancer is one of the most important challenges facing scientists. In this work we demonstrate that the amaranth lectin presents potential antitumor activity and we propose a mechanism ...
Bacterial glycans and their interactions with lectins in the innate immune system
(Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2019-11)
Bacterial surfaces are rich in glycoconjugates that are mainly present in their outer layers and are of great importance for their interaction with the host innate immune system. The innate immune system is the first barrier ...
L-Type lectins
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2022)
The L-type lectins occur in the seeds of leguminous plants. They have structural motifs present in a variety of glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) from other eukaryotic organisms. The structures of many of these lectins have ...
Dairy propionibacteria prevent the proliferative effect of plant lectins on SW480 cells and protect the metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota in vitro
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
Plant lectins are specific carbohydrate-binding proteins that are widespread in legumes such as beans and pulses, seeds, cereals, and many plants used as farm feeds. They are highly resistant to cooking and digestion, ...

Algal and cyanobacterial lectins and their antimicrobial properties
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-12)
Lectins are proteins with a remarkably high affinity and specificity for carbohydrates. Many organisms naturally produce them, including animals, plants, fungi, protists, bacteria, archaea, and viruses. The present report ...
Plant Antifungal Lectins: Mechanism of Action and Targets on Human Pathogenic Fungi
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2020-03)
Lectins are proteins characterized by their ability to specifically bind different carbohydrate motifs. This feature is associated with their endogenous biological function as well as with multiple applications. Plants are ...
Clinical and pathological aspects and cerebellar lectin binding in cattle poisoned with Solanum fastigiatum var. fastigiatum and Solanum bonariense
(United States Department of Agriculture, 2011-10)
Microscopic and lectin histochemical studies were performed using the cerebella of 33 natural cases of Solanum fastigiatum var. fastigiatum intoxication in the cattle from southern Brazil and 2 natural and 4 experimental ...
BEL β-trefoil: A novel lectin with antineoplastic properties in king bolete (Boletus edulis) mushrooms
(Oxford University Press, 2012-12)
A novel lectin was purified from the fruiting bodies of king bolete mushrooms (Boletus edulis, also called porcino, cep or penny bun). The lectin was structurally characterized i.e its amino acid sequence and three-dimensional ...
Regulatory circuits mediated by lectin-glycan interactions in autoimmunity and cancer
(Cell Press, 2012-03)
Numerous regulatory programs have been identified that contribute to the restoration of homeostasis at the conclusion of immune responses and to safeguarding against the detrimental effects of chronic inflammation and ...
