| CHARACTERIZATION | |
| BIOACTIVITY | Lectins LI and LII, localized on the surface of the nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium Bacillus polymyxa 1460, were shown to possess proteolytic activity. A relationship was found between the proteolytic and hemagglutinating activities of the lectins. |
| SOURCE TISSUE | |
| SPECIFICITY | |
| INHIBITORS | Blocking of hemagglutinating activity with specific carbohydrate haptens led to significant changes in the enzyme activity of both lectins. When lectin activity was blocked with glucuronic acid and fructose-1, 6-diphosphate, the proteolytic activity of b |
