  • Title: Complete amino acid sequence of the A chain of mistletoe lectin I.
    Author: Huguet Soler M, Stoeva S, Schwamborn C, Wilhelm S, Stiefel T, Voelter W.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1996 Dec 09; 399(1-2):153-7. PubMed ID: 8980141.
    Abstract:
    The complete amino acid sequence of the A chain of mistletoe lectin I was determined via Edman degradation sequencing of the N-terminus and tryptic and endoproteinase Asp-N overlapping fragments, amino acid analysis and MALDI-MS. The data obtained show a great homology with the chains of ribosome-inactivating proteins such as ricin and abrin with 111 (abrin-a) and 103 (ricin-D) amino acid residues conserved, respectively. The knowledge of the primary structure of MLA will have a fundamental impact on elucidating the biological function of medically applied mistletoe lectins on a molecular basis.
