Physical mapping and expression of gene families encoding the N-acetyl D-galactosamine adherence lectin of Entamoeba histolytica.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jan 1996

Ramakrishnan G, Ragland B D, Purdy J E, Mann B J

Abstract excerpt

Adherence of the enteric protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica is mediated by an N-acetyl D-galactosamine (GalNAc)-specific lectin, a heterodimer of heavy (170 kDa) and light (35/31 kDa) subunits. The gene families encoding the lectin subunits were characterized using clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) gel electrophoresis in the strain HM1:IMSS. The heavy subunit was shown to be encoded by a family of...
