Monocot chimeric jacalins: a novel subfamily of plant lectins

Pages 300-306 | Received 23 Nov 2012, Accepted 18 Feb 2013, Published online: 25 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

Monocot chimeric jacalins are a small group of lectins (currently with nine members), each typically consisting of a dirigent domain and a jacalin-related lectin domain. This unique module structure, along with their limited taxonomic distribution and short time window in molecular evolution, makes them a novel family of lectins. Recent studies have shown that these proteins play important roles in plant stress responses and development. Our knowledge of these proteins in functional domain and evolution has also made significant progress.
