Abstract excerpt
cDNA clones encoding a mannose/glucose specific lectin, CCA, from Castanea crenata cotyledons have been isolated and sequenced. The cloned CCA cDNA had an open reading frame of 927 bp encoding 309 amino acid residues. Compared with the amino acid sequence determined for the protein chemically, it was clarified that CCA has no signal peptide and undergoes no proteolytic cleavage as do other mannose specific...
