Purification of the lectin from Phaseolus acutifolius var. escumite was achieved by affinity chromatography on a column containing glutaraldehyzed membranes from blood group O erythrocytes. The lectin is a tetrameric glycoprotein of 121 kDa with 10% of sugar by weight composed by four subunits of 30 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The lectin is composed of four isolectins as determined by ion-exchange chromatography on a mono-S column. The lectin and its isolectins showed identical NH2 terminal residues (ANDLSFNFQR FNETN) with homology to the PHA leucoagglutinin-precursor. Peptide mass fingerprint from each lectin isoform determined from tryptic peptides by MALDI-TOF (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight) showed differences among subunits, thus suggesting microheterogeneity in their amino acid sequences or different glycosylation patterns. The lectin and its four isolectins agglutinated erythrocytes without serological specificity and showed mitogenic activity on human leukocytes; moreover, the main effect was rather toward CD8+ than to CD4+ human peripheral lymphocytes. The lectin from escumite was not inhibitable by simple sugars; however, the specificity of the lectin and its isoforms was mainly addressed toward galactose residues present in bi- or triantennary N-acetyllactosamine-type glycans. 相似文献

An immunoenzymatic method for the quantitative determination of dietary lectin activities employing immobilized glycoproteins was studied. Lectins from wheat germ (WGA), peanut (PNA), and jack bean (ConA) were added to microtiter plates coated with ovalbumin or asialofetuin and quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with lectin-specific antibodies. ELISA responses for lectin activity were dose-dependent in the concentration range 30-1000 ng/mL for WGA and 80-1000 ng/mL for both PNA and ConA. Inhibition assays carried out with different saccharides confirmed that the binding of lectins to immobilized glycoproteins was specific. The proposed method is specific and sensitive, allowing the quantitative determination of lectin activities on raw samples by simple dilution of the extracts. Examples of application to wheat germ and roasted peanut extracts are reported. 相似文献

Antioxidant activity and phenolic compositions of lentil (Lens culinaris var. Morton) extract and its fractions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Phenolic compounds were extracted from Morton lentils using acidified aqueous acetone. The crude Morton extract (CME) was applied onto a macroresin column and desorbed by aqueous methanol to obtain a semipurified Morton extract (SPME). The SPME was further fractionated over a Sephadex LH-20 column into five main fractions (I-V). The phytochemical contents such as total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and condensed tannin content (CTC) of the CME, SPME, and its fractions were examined by colorimetric methods. Antioxidant activity of extracts and fractions were screened by DPPH scavenging activity, Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), ferric reduced antioxidant power (FRAP), and oxygen radical absorbing capacity (ORAC) methods. In addition, the compositions of active fractions were determined by HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS methods. Results showed that the fraction enriched in condensed tannins (fraction V) exhibited significantly higher values of TPC, CTC, and antioxidant activity as compared to the crude extract, SPME, and low molecular weight fractions (I-IV). Eighteen compounds existed in those fractions, and 17 were tentatively identified by UV and MS spectra. HPLC-MS analysis revealed fraction II contained mainly kaempferol glycoside, fractions III and IV mainly contained flavonoid glycosides, and fraction V was composed of condensed tannins. The results suggested that the extract of Morton lentils is a promising source of antioxidant phenolics and may be used as a dietary supplement for health promotion. 相似文献

The present study examined the antioxidants present in bitter tea (Ligustrum pedunculare). It was found that the crude glycoside fraction strongly protected human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation. Further column chromatography led to purification of eight phenylethanoid or monoterpene glycosides: lipedoside A-I, lipedoside A-II, lipedoside B-I, lipedoside B-III, lipedoside B-V, lipedoside B-VI, osmanthuside B, and anatolioside. It was found that lipedoside A-I, lipedoside A-II, lipedoside B-V, and lipedoside B-VI were protective, whereas the other four compounds did not protect human LDL from Cu(2+)-medicated oxidation. Lipedoside A-I, lipedoside A-II, lipedoside B-V, and lipedoside B-VI also had a scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH), comparable to that of alpha-tocopherol. The inhibitory effect of these four phenylethanoid or monoterpene glycosides on oxidation of human LDL and alpha-tocopherol was dose-dependent at concentrations of 5-40 microM. The present results demonstrate that bitter tea as a beverage contains effective antioxidants that may have benefits similar to those of green tea in terms of antioxidant activity. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of a bioactive mannose-binding protein from the Chinese chive Allium tuberosum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A mannose-binding protein was isolated from two different cultivars of the Chinese chive Allium tuberosum by extraction with 0.2 M NaCl, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and affinity chromatography on mannose agarose and fetuin agarose. It exhibited hemagglutinating activity toward rabbit erythrocytes. The lectin (agglutinin) was adsorbed on the mannose-agarose column, but not on the fetuin-agarose column. This A. tuberosum lectin (ATL) is unglycosylated, and not sialic acid binding. Lectins isolated from the two cultivars exhibited the same molecular mass of 25 kDa on gel filtration (Superose 12) and 12.5 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating that they might be a dimeric protein composed of two identical subunits. The N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of the lectin of various cultivars of A. tuberosum revealed that they were identical and showed 50%, or more, homology to the lectins from Galanthus nivalis (family Amaryllidaceae), Narcissus tazetta (family Amaryllidaceae), and Aloe arborescenes (family Liliaceae). 相似文献

To clarify the formation mechanism for the major alcoholic aroma compounds in young leaves of Japanese pepper, the glycosides were isolated as aroma precursors. The presence of glycosides of the main alcoholic aroma constituents was indirectly determined by enzymatic hydrolysis and trifluoroacetylation (TFA) of the glycoside-containing fraction. After Amberlite XAD-2 column chromatography, ODS flash chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), two new compounds, namely, (3S,6S)-cis-linalool-3,7-oxide beta-D-glucopyranoside and 2-methylpropanyl 6-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, were isolated. In addition, (3S,6R)-cis-linalool-3,6-oxide beta-D-glucopyranoside, which absolute configuration was the first determined, and six known glycosides, citronellyl beta-D-glucopyranoside, linalyl 6-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, (Z)-3-hexenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside, benzyl 6-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, dendranthemoside A, and 3,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydro-beta-ionol 9-beta-D-glucopyranoside, were isolated. All of these glycosides were isolated for the first time from the leaves of Japanese pepper. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral data and chemical evidence. The ratios of stereoisomers of the aglycon moieties of citronellyl beta-D-glucopyranoside and linalyl 6-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside were investigated by a chiral GC analysis and compared with those of free citronellol and linalool in the aroma concentrate. 相似文献

How proteins bind carbohydrates: lessons from legume lectins 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The pioneering studies of Irvin Liener on soybean agglutinin (SBA) in the early 1950s served as the starting point of our involvement in lectin research during the past four decades. Initially we characterized SBA extensively as a glycoprotein and showed that its covalently linked glycan is an oligomannoside commonly present in animal glycoproteins. We have also introduced the use of the lectin to the study of normal and malignant cells and to the purging of bone marrow for transplantation. Our recent work focuses on the combining site of Erythrina corallodendron lectin, closely related to SBA. In this legume lectin, as in essentially all other members of the same protein family, irrespective of their sugar specificity, interactions with a constellation of three invariant residues (aspartic acid, asparagine, and an aromatic residue) are essential for ligand binding. Lectins from other families, whether of plants or animals, also combine with carbohydrates by H-bonds and hydrophobic interactions, but the amino acids involved may differ even if the specificity of the lectins is the same. Therefore, nature finds diverse solutions for the design of binding sites for structurally similar ligands, such as mono- or oligosaccharides. This diversity strongly suggests that lectins are products of convergent evolution. 相似文献

A rapid HPLC-DAD determination of phenols in apple using an RP monolithic column is reported. Because of the hydrodynamic advantages offered by this kind of column and the use of acidified acetonitrile as eluent, assays of apple extracts can be performed in <21 min. Assays of pulp and peel extracts were carried out without the need for time-consuming sample pretreatment except filtration. Several flavanols, hydroxycinnamic acids, dihydrochalcones, and six quercetin glycosides were identified and quantified. A seventh quercetin derivative, two chalcone-related compounds, and three hydroxycinnamic derivatives were also found. Peels proved to be richer in phenols than pulps, the former being composed mainly of (-)-epicatechin, procyanidin B2, chlorogenic acid, phloridzin, hyperin, and avicularin. In pulps, where the chlorogenic acid was the principal phenolic compound, quercetin glycosides were found in very low amounts. 相似文献

A lectin was purified from the seaweed Gracilaria cornea by hydrophobic interaction chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B followed by affinity chromatography on immobilized mucin. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of G. cornea lectin (GCL) revealed a single protein band of approximately 60 kDa, whereas by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 its native molecular mass was 66 kDa. GCL exhibited a single isoeletric point of 4.3 and a 52.5% content of neutral sugars. Furthermore, the EDTA-treated lectin did not show any significant decrease in its ability to agglutinate trypsin-treated chicken erythrocytes. These data suggest that GCL is an acidic, monomeric glycoprotein that probably does not require divalent metal ions for its hemagglutinating activity. GCL hemagglutinating activity was not inhibited by any of the mono-, di-, and trisaccharides tested but was by the complex glycoproteins fetuin and porcine stomach mucin. Exposure of engorged females of the cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) to 0.1 mg mL(-1) GCL significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the female weight after the oviposition period, the egg mass weight, the hatching period, and the mean larvae survival time. 相似文献

Flavonoids were extracted from cranberry powder with acetone and ethyl acetate and subsequently fractionated with Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The fraction eluted with a 60% methanol solution was composed primarily of phenolic constituents with maximum absorbance at 340 nm. A high-performance liquid chromatography procedure was developed, which resolved 22 distinct peaks with UV/vis and mass spectra corresponding to flavonol glycoside conjugates. Six new constituents not previously reported in cranberry or in cranberry products were determined through NMR spectroscopy to be myricetin-3-beta-xylopyranoside, quercetin-3-beta-glucoside, quercetin-3-alpha-arabinopyranoside, 3'-methoxyquercetin-3-alpha-xylopyranoside, quercetin-3-O-(6' '-p-coumaroyl)-beta-galactoside, and quercetin-3-O-(6' '-benzoyl)-beta-galactoside. Quercetin-3-O-(6' '-p-coumaroyl)-beta-galactoside and quercetin-3-O-(6' '-benzoyl)-beta-galactoside represent a new class of cranberry flavonol compounds with three conjugated components consisting of a flavonol, sugar, and carboxylic acid (benzoic or hydroxycinnamic acids). This is also the first report identifying quercetin-3-arabinoside in both furanose and pyranose forms in cranberry. Elucidation of specific flavonol glycosides in cranberry is significant since the specificity of the sugar moiety may play a role in the bioavailability of the flavonol glycosides in vivo. 相似文献

This study starts by isolating and characterizing the first protein from Labramia bojeri seeds, which belong to the Sapotaceae family. The purified lectin analyzed by SDS-PAGE with and without beta-mercaptoethanol shows two protein bands (M(r) = 19 and 20 kDa), which cannot be resolved. Protein bands have shown similar characteristics as molecular masses, determined by gel filtration and native gel; N-terminal sequences presented a difference in their isoelectric points. We have suggested that those protein bands might be variants of the protein named Labramin. The sequence database search has shown that the N-terminal sequence of Labramin presented a high degree of homology to Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor (82-52%) despite no trypsin inhibition activity detection. The lectin-like form from Labramin was better inhibited by glycoproteins and has also presented growth inhibition of the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but it has not presented an apparent effect on Fusarium oxysporum. 相似文献

The effect of three plant lectins, soybean lectin (SBA), Japanese jack bean lectin (CGA), and wheat germ lectin (WGA), on the transport of various food factors, such as isoflavones, quercetin, dipeptides, and calcium ions, were investigated by use of an intestinal tract model, Caco-2 cell monolayers. The lectins increased the isoflavone transport but had no effect on aglycon transport. SBA increased the transport of quercetin glycosides, whereas CGA and WGA had no effect. The lectins increased the transport of calcium ions but showed no effect on the transport of dipeptides, carnosine, and anserine. Although SBA did not change the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) value of the Caco-2 cell monolayers, CGA and WGA decreased the TER value. These results indicate that plant lectins affect the transport of food factors in different manners, presumably due to their specific sugar binding activity. 相似文献

Alcoholic extracts of leaves and stems of Vanilla fragrans were fractionated with ethyl acetate and aqueous butanol. All three fractions of ethyl acetate, butanol, and water were screened for toxic bioactivity against mosquito larvae. The results of these experiments showed that the fractions from the ethyl acetate and butanol phases were both active in the bioassay. Bioactivity of the ethyl acetate fraction was found to be much greater than that from the butanol fraction in mosquito larvae toxicity. The water phase appeared to contain no substances that impaired mosquito larval growth. Repeated column chromatography of the ethyl acetate fraction on silica gel led to the isolation of 4-ethoxymethylphenol (1), 4-butoxymethylphenol (2), vanillin (3), 4-hydroxy-2-methoxycinnamaldehyde (4), and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (5). Compounds 4 and 5 were isolated from Vanilla species for the first time and 2 has not been reported to have been found in a natural form. 4-Ethoxymethylphenol (1) was the predominant compound, but 4-butoxymethylphenol (2) showed the strongest toxicity to mosquito larvae. The structures of the compounds were determined on the basis of their mass spectra and (1)H or (13)C NMR data. 相似文献

The bound volatile fraction of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) fruit harvested in Colombia has been examined by HRGC and HRGC-MS after enzymatic hydrolysis using a nonselective pectinase (Rohapect D5L). Forty bound volatiles could be identified, with 21 of them being reported for the first time in cape gooseberry. After preparative isolation of the glycosidic precursors on XAD-2 resin, purification by multilayer coil countercurrent chromatography and HPLC of the peracetylated glycosides were carried out. Structure elucidation by NMR, ESI-MS/MS, and optical rotation enabled the identification of (1S,2S)-1-phenylpropane-1,2-diol 2-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) and p-menth-4(8)-ene-1,2-diol 1-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2). Both glycosides have been identified for the first time in nature. They could be considered as immediate precursors of 1-phenylpropane-1,2-diol and p-menth-4(8)-ene-1,2-diol, typical volatiles found in the fruit of cape gooseberry. 相似文献

Tea and kudingcha (bitter tea) are the two most popular beverages consumed in China. Tea derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis has been well studied for its various health benefits, but there are very limited data on the biological activities of bitter tea derived from the leaves of Ligustrum purpurascens (LP). The present study was carried out to characterize the antioxidants present in the bitter tea brewed from the leaves of LP. It was found that the crude glycoside fraction possessed strong protection against oxidation of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL). The column chromatographic separation led to the isolatation of five phenylethanoid glycosides, namely, acteoside, ligupurpuroside A, cis-ligupurpuroside B, trans-ligupurpuroside B, and osmanthuside B. When acteoside was heated in the boiling water, it was isomerized to form isoacteoside. Acteoside, isoacteoside, and ligupurpuroside A purified from LP were protective, whereas cis-ligupurpuroside B, trans-ligupurpuroside B, and osmanthuside B exhibited no protection to human LDL from Cu(2+)-medicated oxidation. Acteoside, isoacteoside, and ligupurpuroside A were also effective in preventing the peroxyl free radical-induced oxidation of alpha-tocopherol in human LDL. The antioxidant activities of acteoside, isoacteoside, and ligupurpuroside A were comparable to that observed for a green tea antioxidant, (-)-epicatechin gallate. The inhibitory effect of these three phenylethanoid glycosides on oxidation of human LDL and alpha-tocopherol was dose-dependent at concentrations of 5-40 microM. The present results suggest that the bitter tea beverage derived from LP contains effective antioxidants that may have an equal benefit as a green tea beverage. 相似文献

Radical scavenging activities of extracts and constituents in Cornus capitata adventitious root cultures were evaluated by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide anion radicals. Inhibitory activity against peroxidation of linoleic acid was assayed by using the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. Ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions were prepared from adventitious roots cultured in Murashige-Skoog liquid medium with 0.1 microM Cu(2+) (0.1CuMS) or 10 microM Cu(2+) (10CuMS). The highest scavenging activities on DPPH and superoxide anion radicals were observed in the ethyl acetate fraction from 0.1CuMS. In the inhibitory activity against linoleic acid oxidation, the ethyl acetate fraction from 10CuMS was highest among the fractions tested. The ethyl acetate fraction of adventitious roots cultured in 0.1CuMS contained mainly galloylglucoses (1,2,3,6-tetragalloylglucose and 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloylglucose). The ethyl acetate fraction of adventitious roots cultured in 10CuMS contained mainly ellagic acid derivatives [3,3'-di-O-methylellagic acid 4-(5"-acetyl)-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside and stenophyllin H1]. Aqueous fractions prepared from both media contained iridoid glycosides (dihydrocornin and cornin). Tetra- and pentagalloylglucoses showed strong inhibitory activities (61.9 and 85.2%, respectively) against linoleic acid oxidation relative to those of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (91.1%) or alpha-tocopherol (49.5%) at 50 microM concentration. Although both ellagic acid derivatives had weak activities (<50%) on DPPH and superoxide anion radical scavenging, 3,3'-di-O-methylellagic acid 4-(5"-acetyl)-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside was stronger (74.7%) than alpha-tocopherol (49.5%) in inhibiting linoleic acid oxidation at 50 microM concentration. Iridoid glycosides exhibited little activity against DPPH and superoxide anion radicals or against oxidation of linoleic acid. 相似文献

Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) are an excellent dietary source of phytochemicals that include flavonol glycosides, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins), and organic and phenolic acids. Using C-18 and Sephadex Lipophilic LH-20 column chromatography, HPLC, and tandem LC-ES/MS, the total cranberry extract (TCE) has been analyzed, quantified, and separated into fractions enriched in sugars, organic acids, total polyphenols, proanthocyanidins, and anthocyanins (39.4, 30.0, 10.6, 5.5, and 1.2% composition, respectively). Using a luminescent ATP cell viability assay, the antiproliferative effects of TCE (200 microg/mL) versus all fractions were evaluated against human oral (KB, CAL27), colon (HT-29, HCT116, SW480, SW620), and prostate (RWPE-1, RWPE-2, 22Rv1) cancer cell lines. The total polyphenol fraction was the most active fraction against all cell lines with 96.1 and 95% inhibition of KB and CAL27 oral cancer cells, respectively. For the colon cancer cells, the antiproliferative activity of this fraction was greater against HCT116 (92.1%) than against HT-29 (61.1%), SW480 (60%), and SW620 (63%). TCE and all fractions showed >/=50% antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells with total polyphenols being the most active fraction (RWPE-1, 95%; RWPE-2, 95%; 22Rv1, 99.6%). Cranberry sugars (78.8 microg/mL) did not inhibit the proliferation of any cancer cell lines. The enhanced antiproliferative activity of total polyphenols compared to TCE and its individual phytochemicals suggests synergistic or additive antiproliferative interactions of the anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, and flavonol glycosides within the cranberry extract. 相似文献

Liquid chromatographic (LC) methodology potentially useful for the characterization of orange juice, with particular regard to detecting adulteration of orange juice by computer pattern recognition analysis, has been developed. After dilution with methanol the juice is extracted with hexane to remove the carotenoids, which are chromatographed on a C18 column with an acetonitrile-methanol-methylene chloride mobile phase and detection at 450 nm. Further extraction of the juice with methylene chloride isolates the methoxylated flavones, which are chromatographed by reverse phase LC with an acetonitrile-methanol-water mobile phase and detection at 280 nm. The flavanone glycosides remaining in solution are chromatographed on a C18 column with an acetonitrile-water mobile phase and detection at 280 nm. The precisions of the heights of the 32 LC peaks selected for pattern recognition analysis were determined from 5 replicate analyses of a single juice. Coefficients of variation of the replicates ranged from 0.3 to 4.5%, with an average of 2.1%. Adulteration of products with sodium benzoate-fortified pulpwash or grapefruit juice can be detected by this method. Pattern recognition analysis of the data obtained for 80 authentic and 19 adulterated orange juices showed that the method is potentially useful for distinguishing between authentic and adulterated products. 相似文献

Kinetic data are reported describing the stability of various classes of polyphenolic antioxidants in an apple juice enriched in these compounds as a function of storage temperature and oxygen concentration. The most thermally sensitive compounds were the various quercetin glycosides and epicatechin, whereas phloridzin and chlorogenic acid were more stable. The quercetin glycosides showed differences in their stability: quercetin galactoside approximately quercetin rhamnoside > quercetin glucoside/rutinoside > quercetin arabinoside. The effect of the presence of oxygen on the degradation rates was clear for only quercetin and to a lesser extent for epicatechin. Accelerated shelf-life testing of enriched apple juice during 4 days at 80 degrees C showed decreases in the antioxidant activity of 20-40%. The parameters obtained were used to predict the stability at different storage conditions. Calculations showed that polyphenolic antioxidants and antioxidant activity of enriched apple juice will be quite stable at ambient or refrigerated storage conditions up to half a year. 相似文献

This study describes the purification of an N-acetylglucosamine-binding lectin from Koelreuteria paniculata seeds and its effects on the larval development of Callobruchus maculatus and Anagasta kuehniella. The lectin (KpLec) was characterized and isolated by gel filtration, affinity column, and reverse phase chromatography. SDS-PAGE indicated that this lectin is a dimer composed of subunits of 22 and 44 kDa. The N terminus exhibited 40% similarity with Urtiga dioica agglutinin. KpLec was tested for anti-insect activity against C. maculatus and A. kuehniella. With regard to C. maculatus, an artificial diet containing 0.7 and 1% KpLec produced LD(50) and ED(50) value, respectively. However, for A. kuenhiella, an artificial diet containing 0.65% KpLec produced an LD(50), whereas 0.2% KpLec produced an ED(50). The transformation of genes coding for this lectin could be useful in the development of insect resistance in important agricultural crops. 相似文献
