Purification, partial characterization and antimicrobial activity of Lectin from Chenopodium Quinoa seeds

Abstract: A novel lectin was isolated from the seeds of Chenopodium quinoa. To achieve this end, the crude extract from the quinoa was submitted to two purification steps, Sephadex G50 and Mono Q. The hemagglutinating activity showed that this lectin agglutinates human erythrocytes. Its activity is inhibited by glucose and mannose, and remained stable under a wide range of pH levels and temperatures. The quinoa lectin was found to be a heterodimeric lectin of approximately 60 kDa, consisting of two subunits of approxima… Show more

“…In our work, the fractionated lectins from the tested Phaseolus vulgaris seeds demonstrated antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (Table 2). This could be further confirmed by the results that showed antibacterial activity of lectins obtained from Indigofera heterantha legume seeds and those extracted from Chenopodium quinoa seeds [37,38].…”

“…Lectins derived from different plant sources have shown strong antiviral activity for various plant viruses, so the present study focuses on isolation of CML protein from Chenopodium murale, which belongs to family Chenopodiaceae. Lectin isolated from Chenopodum quinoa have two subunits of 35kDa and 25kDa which have the ability to hemagglutinate the rabbit erythrocytes similar as described by [18]. Lectins are known to induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells by interacting with them or their receptors to produce necrosis, autophagy, apoptosis or inhibit cell growth [9].…”

“…Moreover, Pompeu et al (2015) obtained only inhibition to gram-negative bacteria using a lectin isolated from quinoa seeds. In general, the inhibition level is related to the chemical structure of the bioactive compounds and bacterial species (Landete, 2012).…”
