Extensive homologies between lectins from non-leguminous plants

AbstractSequence studies were performed on lectins from two non-leguminous plants: rice and nettle. Extensive homologies were found between these two proteins and wheat germ agglutinin in support of the conservation of lectin sequences among non-leguminous plants. The number and positions of the cysteine residues were particularly well conserved suggesting a similar folding of the polypeptide chains

Linkage in mice of genes controlling an immunoglobulin kappa-chain marker and the surface alloantigen Ly-3 on T lymphocytes

Evidence obtained using recombinant inbred and congenic mouse strains has shown that the PC8 locus responsible for determining a marker on a single k chain in inbred mice is linked to the Ly - 2,3 locus on chromosome 6. The upper limit of the map distance between these loci is approximately three centimorgans. This finding is discussed in relation to other known light-chain variants that are associated with the Ly - 2,3 locus.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/46753/1/251_2005_Article_BF01563929.pd
