A bi-specific lectin from the mushroom Boletopsis grisea and its application in glycoanalytical workflows

Abstract The BLL lectin from the edible Japanese “Kurokawa” mushroom (Boletopsis leucomelaena) was previously reported to bind to N-glycans harboring terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and to induce apoptosis in a leukemia cell line. However, its gene has not been reported. In this study, we used...
