Abstract
A novel plant lectin has been isolated from the seeds of Talisia esculenta and partially characterized. The purified lectin showed two protein bands in SDS-PAGE (20,000 and 40,000 kDa) and agglutinated human and animal erythrocytes. Of the various sugars tested, the lectin was best inhibited by mannose. A search of sequence databases showed that the N-terminal sequence had no homology to any known protein. The lectin inhibited the growth of the fungi Fusarium oxysporum, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
