Interaction of peanut root lectin (PRA II) with rhizobial lipopolysaccharides.
Sugar specific binding of peanut root lectin (PRA II) to peanut specific bradyrhizobial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) was demonstrated by gel retardation assay and lectin based ELISA. Sephadex G-50 gel purified high molecular weight polysaccharides from NC 92 LPS bind PRA II most efficiently. Binding of NC 92 LPS only to PRA II and not to PNA, SBA and PSL by Western blot analysis suggests that this lectin-LPS interaction is tissue as well as species specific.
