Description générale

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, omnipresent, found in fungi, plants and animals. The structure of lectin is diversely studied in plants and animals. The secondary structure of this protein is rich in β-strands and possesses a carbohydrate binding sites on the surface.[1]

Application

Lectin from Arachis hypogaea (peanut) has been used:
  • to determine the acrosomal status (presence or absence of acrosomal matrix corresponding to intact or acrosome-reacted spermatozoa) on viable sperm cells[2]
  • to probe cryosections of mediastinal lymph nodes (mLNs) with fluorochrome-labeled PNA and anti-B220 to detect germinal centers (GCs)[3]
  • to visualize the cone outer segments of pre-treated retinal sections[4]

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Lectin is known to be useful in glycoconjugate characterizing, imaging and targeting. Its use in a microarray assay, enable efficient glycome profiling. This is because of its specific interaction with oligosaccharides, glycoproteins and glycolipids. In plants and fungi, lectin defends against pathogens/feeders. Lectin participates in host recognition and tissue adhesion, thereby aids in the pathogenesis of microorganism.[1]
PNA does not agglutinate normal human erythrocytes, but strongly agglutinates neuraminidase treated erythrocytes. PNA has potent anti-T activity similar to the anti-T antibody in human sera. The lectin can be used to distinguish between human lymphocyte subsets.

Questions

1–5 sur 5 questions  
  1. The product information document specifies -20C storage of the lyophilized product. Once resuspended in PBS, should it be stored at 4C instead?

    1 réponse
    1. This lectin is soluble in phosphate buffered saline at pH 7.2 (1 mg/ml). Solutions may be stored frozen and protected from light in aliquots at –20 °C. Prolonged storage and repeated freezing and thawing are not recommended.

      Utile ?

  2. If samples are stored in 100% ethanol, it there an issue for the actual binding of the lectin to surface sugars?

    1 réponse
    1. Fixation generally influences subsequent staining procedures. A recommended approach would be to fix identical tissue sections in alcohol and 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin and then determine which method yields the best staining outcome.

  3. Is the peanut lectin (Lectin from Arachis hypogaea) a glycoprotein?  If so, what is the carbohydrate content?

    1 réponse
    1. Peanut lectin is not a glycoprotein. Although peanut lectin binds specifically to a particular carbohydrate (beta-gal(1-->3)galNac) in other molecules, the lectin itself does not contain any carbohydrate.  Please see page 231 of the following paper: R. Banerjee, et al., "Crystal structure of peanut lectin, a protein with an unusual quaternary structure".  Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., USA, 91, 227-231 (1994).

  5. How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?

    1 réponse
    1. The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
