Lectins are sugar-specific binding proteins or glycoproteins that play important physiological roles in cellular recognition and regulation. And they are also valuable in medicine and pharmacy. Tubeworm is the representative species around the hydrothermal vent in the deep sea. They have developed unique mechanisms to adapt to the harsh environment. In this study, a 1 092 bp c DNA, designed as rpgal, was first cloned and characterized from the tubeworm Ridgeia piscesae. Sequence analysis showed that RPGAL had low homology with the known galectin. And it had two homologous carbohydrate-recognition domains, which is the characteristic of the tandem-repeat type galectins. The RPGAL was successfully recombinant expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Analysis of biological activity revealed that RPGAL was metal ion independent and it could agglutinate all the vertebrate erythrocytes tested. It was stable at 10–50°C and p H 5–10. And the hemagglutinating activity of RPGAL was strongly inhibited by D-Lactose and lipopolysaccharide. Although RPGAL had no effect on the microorganisms tested, it showed anti-tumor activity towards He La cells and HT1080 cells, which was accomplished by apoptosis. The study demonstrated that RPGAL was a novel galectin and provided a potential candidate for therapy of anti-tumor. 相似文献

血蓝蛋白是对虾体内的氧运输蛋白,占血浆中蛋白含量的95%以上.研究表明,它参与了许多生理功能,包括蛋白储运,渗透压调节,蜕皮过程以及骨架形成等等.近年来的研究表明,血蓝蛋白还参与了对虾的先天性免疫反应,具有酚氧化酶,抗菌肽、抗病毒等相关生物活性.本研究从凡纳滨对虾中克隆获得了血蓝蛋白L亚基LvHcL,并对其基因组织结构进行了分析.该基因具有丰富的多态性,含有多个SNP位点.研究中发现该基因亚基至少存在4种亚型,其中一种亚型缺失第二个外显子,仅含有2个外显子.对各个亚型的转录水平分析表明,抗病对虾在病毒感染刺激下,各个亚型的转录水平均会被诱导提高.而普通对虾在病毒感染刺激下,各个亚型的转录水平则被抑制.研究结果表明,血蓝蛋白参与了对虾的抗病毒免疫反应.这些结果不仅有助于深入了解对虾血蓝蛋白的免疫学特点,也有助于促进对无脊椎动物抗病毒免疫机制的认识. 相似文献
