Abstract
The unsaturated fatty acid-requiring mutant KD 115 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae secretes a lectin when grown in presence of oleic acid. This lectin is homogeneous on PAGE at pH 8.3, has an approximate molecular weight of 320,000, pI of 4.2 and contains about 60% sugar. It agglutinates chicken and different mammalian erythrocytes, but lyses rabbit red cells only. It is D-galactose-specific. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a hemagglutinin from yeast.Entities:
