Biochem/physiol Actions
Con A is not blood group specific but has an affinity for terminal α-D-mannosyl and α-D-glucosyl residues. Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions are required for activity. Con A dissociates into dimers at pH 5.6 or below. Between pH 5.8 and pH 7.0, Con A exists as a tetramer; above pH 7.0 higher aggregates are formed. Con A exhibits mitogenic activity which is dependent on its degree of aggregation. Succinylation results in an active dimeric form which remains a dimer above pH 5.6.
Preparation Note
Produced from whole Jack beans (J0250) using the method of Sophianopoulos.
Analysis Note
Highly purified.
Where reported, agglutination activity is expressed in μg/ml and is determined from serial dilutions in phosphate buffered saline, pH 6.8, containing Ca2+ and Mn2+ of a 1 mg per mL solution. This activity is the lowest concentration to agglutinate a 2% suspension of human erythrocytes after 1 hr incubation at 25 °C.

Chemotactic/chemotropic cells follow accurately the direction of gradients of regulatory molecules. Many G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) function as chemoattractant receptors to guide polarized responses. In "a" mating type yeast, the GPCR Ste2 senses the α-cell's pheromone. Previously, phosphorylation and trafficking of

Concanavalin A (Con A), obtained either commercially or by affinity chromatography, was further purified by incubating at 6-8 hr at pH 3.0-3.2 in 1 M NaCl, 0.08 M glycine and 3 mM each Ca2+ and Mn+2, heat treating at 45

Protein retention and the transport of proteins and lipids into and out of the Golgi is intimately linked to the biogenesis and homeostasis of this sorting hub of eukaryotic cells. Of particular importance are membrane proteins that mediate membrane fusion

Cells in ectotherms function normally within an often wide temperature range. As temperature dependence is not uniform across all the distinct biological processes, acclimation presumably requires complex regulation. The molecular mechanisms that cope with the disruptive effects of temperature variation

Concanavalin A (ConA) interacts with carbohydrates as a lectin, and recent reports proposed its application for detecting a diversity of viruses and pathogens. Structural studies have detailed the interaction between ConA and carbohydrates and the metal coordination environment with manganese
