• Tasumi S., Ohira T., Kawazoe I., Suetake H., Suzuki Y., Aida K. . Primary structure and characteristics of a lectin from skin mucus of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica . Journal of Biologica2026 · 記述言語： 英語 掲載種別： 研究論文（学術雑誌） 出版者・発行元： Journal of Biological Chemistry Two types of lactose-binding lectins, AJL-1 and AJL-2, were purified from the skin mucus extract of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica by lactose affinity chromatography and subsequent gel filtration. The molecular masses of AJL-1 and AJL-2 were 16,091 and 31,743 Da, respectively. Intact AJL-1 was comprised of two identical 16-kDa subunits having blocked N termini and no disulfide bonds. AJL-2 was a homodimer with disulfide bonds. Based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the AJL-2 monomer, the nucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding this lectin was determined by 3′- and 5′-rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The deduced amino acid sequence showed ∼30% homology with C-type lectins, which bind to carbohydrates in a Ca2+-dependent manner. In addition, AJL-2 exhibited highly conserved consensus amino acid residues of the C-type carbohydrate recognition domain, although this lectin showed Ca2+-independent activity. Gene expression of AJL-2 was de. tected only in the skin by Northern blot analysis, and this lectin localization was demonstrated in the club cells by immunohistochemistry. These results indicate that AJL-2 is secreted on the body surface and function as a component of skin mucus. AJL-2 agglutinated Escherichia coli and suppressed its growth, suggesting that this lectin is involved in host defense. DOI： 10.1074/jbc.M202648200 Web of Science Scopus
