monocot mannose-binding lectin(English)

  • bacteriocins are among the most diverse proteinacous compounds with respect to structure and mode of action. Identification of the first prokaryotic member of this lectin family and discovery of its genus-specific killer activity in the Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas has added yet another kind of toxin to this group of allelopathic molecules. This novel feature is reminiscent of the protective function, on the basis of antifungal, insecticidal, nematicidal or antiviral activity
