Didemnum candidum : Oyster DTL, DCL-I, DCL-II
Molecular structure of
Didemnum candidum
Lecster ID:202 Edit Entry Source Organism: Oyster Species: Didemnum candidum Common Nomenclature: DTL, DCL-I, DCL-II Class: Index Nomenclature: LECi.Did.Sss.xx.Xga1 Characterization Notes: Didemnum ternatanum lectin (DTL) is specific for N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine. Didemnum candidum lectins (DCL-I, DCL-II) possesses lectin activity directed toward galactosyl moieties. Biological Activity: Although both DCL-I and DCL-II will agglutinate neuraminidase -treated erythrocytes from all vertebrate species tested and most Pronase-treated erythrocytes , DCL-I will agglutinate some untreated erythrocytes which are not agglutinate d by DCL-II. Source Tissue: Specificity: galactosyl groups Inhibitors: In hemagglutination inhibition assays among the mono- and oligosaccharides tested, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, N, N'-diacetylchitobiose, N,N'N"-triacetylchitotriose were the most potent inhibitors. References: DTL: Biochim Biophys Acta 1998 Apr 10;1380(2):249-56 DCL-I and DCL-II: J Biol Chem 1986 Jul 15;261(20):9182-6
