Carbohydrate binding properties of complex-type oligosaccharides on immobilized Datura stramonium lectin.

The carbohydrate binding specificity of Datura stramonium agglutinin was studied by analyzing the behavior of a variety of complex-type oligosaccharides on a D. Stramonium agglutinin-Sepharose column. Oligosaccharides which contain Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc-beta 1----4(Gal beta 1----GlcNAc beta 1----2)Man units are retarded in the column so long as the pentasaccharide unit is not substituted by other sugars. Oligosaccharides which contain unsubstituted Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----6(Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----2)Man groups and those in which there is at least one Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc repeating unit present on an outer chain bind to the column and are eluted with buffer containing N-acetylglucosamine oligomers. Binding was not affected by the inner core portion of complex oligosaccharides nor by the presence of a bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residue. With these principles in mind, the column can be used as an effective tool for the analysis of complex-type, asparagine-linked sugar chains.

Studies on lectins. XXXVII. Isolation and characterization of the lectin from Jimson-weed seeds (Datura stramonium L.).

The lectin of Jimson-weed seeds (Datura stramonium L.) was isolated by affinity chromatography on a polysaccharide mixture from mycelium of Aspergillus niger. The lectin yields two bands on disc electrophoresis, it has sedimentation coefficient s20,w = 3.8 S and its apparent molecular weight estimated by thin layer gel chromatography is 120,000. The lectin reduced with mercaptoethanol yields on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of dodecyl sulfate three zones corresponding to subunits of molecular weight 72,000, 45,000 and 25,000. The lectin contains large amounts of cystine, glycine, 6.3% of hydroxyproline residues, 4.5% glucosamine and 28% of neutral sugar, predominantly arabinose. The lectin is nonspecific in human erythrocyte ABO system, it is not inhibited by simple sugars but is inhibited by a partial hydrolysate of chitin-containing mixture of polysaccharides from Aspergillus niger.

Influence of phaseolotoxin on the alkaloid accumulation in Datura innoxia Mill.

In crude protein extracts of aseptically grown plantlets of Datura innoxia ornithine carbamoyltransferase was detected. The ornithine carbamoyltransferase of plant extracts was inhibited by phaseolotoxin. The level of this inhibition was dependent on the concentration of the toxin applied. Subsequent accumulation of ornithine in plant vegetative parts was observed. Phaseolotoxin influenced both the vitability and alkaloid accumulation of treated plants.

Lipids of two Cassia species and Datura stramonium seeds.

The fatty acid constitution of three seed-oils, namely, Cassia alexandrina, Cassia italica and Datura stramonium, were carried out using gas chromatographic analysis. The glyceride structure of these oils was computed using the technique of pancreatic lipase hydrolysis. The phospholipids fraction of these oils were identified using thin layer chromatography, also the fatty acid constitution of the phosphilipids were determined quantitatively by gas liquid chromatography.
