Topology of the polypeptide chain in the complex of agglutinin from castor bean seeds with β-D-galactose in the crystalline state
The three-dimensional structure of the complex of agglutinin from Ricinus communis with β-D-galactose was established and refined at 2.5 Å resolution by X-ray structure analysis. Biocrystals were obtained using d...

Role of the Interchain Interaction Domain of Chain A in Viscumin Cytotoxicity
The sequence coding for the viscumin (mistletoe lectin I, MLI) A-chain (MLA) was cloned from Viscum album genomic DNA with the use of synthetic primers. This yielded three recombinant (r) MLA variants differing i...

A New Antigenic Epitope Appears in the Catalytic Subunit of Viscumin during Intracellular Transport
The plant toxin viscumin (60 kD) consists of B- (“binding”) and A- (“active”) subunits joined by a disulfide bond. The B-subunit is a lectin interacting with galactose-containing glycolipids and glycoproteins ...

An Epitope of the Viscumin Catalytic Subunit Exposed on Its Interaction with Lipid Bilayer
It was previously shown that the catalytic subunit of the plant toxin viscumin induces aggregation of small unilamellar liposomes and this process is inhibited by the mab_TA7 monoclonal antibody produced to th...

Monovalent and Multivalent Binding of Streptavidin to Biotinylated Gramicidin Affects the Kinetic Properties of the Ion Channel
Biotin–avidin (or streptavidin) high affinity binding has been widely applied as a universal tool for basic research as well as diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Here we studied the interaction of streptavi...

Cloning and Expression of Catalytic Subunit of MLIII, the Ribosome-Inactivating Protein from Viscum album
We have cloned the gene encoding a precursor of mistletoe (Viscum album) toxin MLIII. Analyses of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of this gene revealed significant differences between MLI and MLIII pr...

Humoral immune response to recombinant viral NS3 protein in patients with hepatitis C
Full-length recombinant NS3 protein was used in a test system for detection of specific antibodies in the sera from patients with hepatitis C. Possible antigenic determinants in NS structure were predicted. It...

Cloning and expression of mistletoe lectin III B-subunit
Aqueous extracts of mistletoe (Viscum album L.) contain toxic proteins (lectins) MLI (viscumin), MLII, and MLIII. We previously cloned the gene encoding MLIII precursor. In the present study, a gene fragment enco...
