Two new lectins were purified through affinity chromatography after crude extract preparation under high ionic strength. The hemagglutinating activity of these lectins from the seeds of the legumes Dioclea bicolor (DBL) and Deguelia scandens (DSL) was inhibited by galactose and glucose, respectively, and the molecular masses were estimated at 24 and 22kDa (via SDS-PAGE), respectively. The alignment of internal peptides of DBL (MS/MS) with known protein sequences revealed similarity to other legume lectins. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of DSL also aligned with legume lectins. Cross-similarities among the two studied lectins were observed only after sequence permutation. More than a dozen lectins have been reported for the genus Dioclea...
