The distribution of lectin activity in soybean and peanut plants has been investigated. In both plants activity is found in all tissues examined (roots, shoots and leaves) at all stages of development from seedling to maturity (7 weeks). The cellular location of the lectins differs between soybean and peanut: in soybean the lectins are generally membrane-associated, whereas in peanut plants lectin activity is present also in the soluble cytoplasmic fraction. The membrane-associated lectins appear to differ from the seed lectins of the respective plants. The function of membrane-associated lectins is discussed.
我们研究了大豆和落花生植株中凝集素活性的分布。在所有发育阶段(从幼苗到成熟(7 周)),所有被检测的组织(根、茎和叶)中都发现了这两种植物中的凝集素活性。大豆和落花生中凝集素的细胞定位不同:在大豆中,凝集素通常与膜相关,而在落花生植物中,凝集素活性也存在于可溶性细胞质部分。与相应植物的种子凝集素不同的是,与膜相关的凝集素。讨论了与膜相关的凝集素的功能。
