General description

Euonymus europaeus lectin (EEL) is a carbohydrate-binding protein. derived from the fruit of the European spindle tree. Lectin, obtained from the fruit of the European spindle tree, called E. europaeus possesses high tolerance.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Euonymus europaeus agglutinin (EEA) has anti-B+H blood group specificity and is reported to be most specific for blood group B oligosaccharides having the structure α-D-Gal(1→3)[α-L-Fuc(1→2)]-β-D-Gal(1→3/4)-β-D-GlcNac, The B+H specificity is an intrinsic property of a single lectin binding site. Lectin from Euonymus europaeus successfully binds to several carbohydrates, such as, a series of blood group-related carbohydrates, mannosides, chitotriose and sialic acid. EEL recognizes the carbohydrates terminating in several monosaccharides by using a single site.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing sodium chloride and phosphate buffer salts

Analysis Note

Agglutination activity is expressed in μg/mL and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2, of a 1 mg/mL solution. This activity is the lowest concentration of lectin to agglutinate a 2% suspension of neuraminidase-treated human blood group B erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.

β(3) -Octaarginine chains were attached to the functional groups NH and CO2 H of the antibacterial fluoroquinolones ciprofloxacin (→1) and enrofloxacin (→2), respectively, in order to find out whether the activity increases by attachment of the polycationic, cell-penetrating peptide (CPP)
