Recombinant bovine conglutinin, lacking the N-terminal and collagenous domains, has less conglutination activity but is able to inhibit haemagglutination by influenza A virus.

Eda, S, Suzuki, Y, Kase, T, Kawai, T, Ohtani, K, Sakamoto, T, ...

Conglutinin is a bovine serum protein which was first described as a vertebrate lectin. This protein belongs to the family of C-type lectins. These lectins are composed of four characteristic...

Sulphatide binds to human and animal influenza A viruses, and inhibits the viral infection.

Suzuki, T, Sometani, A, Yamazaki, Y, Horiike, G, Mizutani, Y, Masuda, H, ...

We found, by using a virus overlay assay, that influenza A virus isolates bind to sulphatide (HSO3-Gal beta 1-->1'Cer), which has no sialic acid residue, and that the infection of Madin-Darby canine...

Transcriptional regulatory elements in the upstream and intron of the fibroin gene bind three specific factors POU-M1, Bm Fkh and FMBP-1.

Takiya, S, Kokubo, H, Suzuki, Y

The transcriptional modulator in the fibroin gene intron is composed of multiple octamer-like AT-rich elements, to which several specific DNA-binding proteins named fibroin-modulator-binding proteins...
