Abstract
Two lectin fractions (FI and FII) were obtained from seeds of Butea frondosa by affinity chromatography on a sorbent of macroporous glass coupled to the disaccharide alpha-D-GalNAc-(1----3)-beta-D-Gal. Both of these fractions, although different in their sugar specificity, were found on SDS-PAGE to consist of two polypeptide chains of 33 kDa and 35 kDa. In the native state the subunits associated to form a 250 kDa complex, possibly comprising four molecules of the 33 kDa polypeptide and four molecules of the 35 kDa polypeptide. The presence of a faint 70 kDa band when the 250 kDa complex was subjected to SDS-PAGE may indicate the existence of a sequential mechanism of aggregation. N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis revealed extensive homology between these lectins and those of other Leguminosae.
