... selected for the design of degenerate primers. Aligning different fibrinogen-domain containing proteins, fibrinogens, fibroleukins/techylectins, angiopoietins, ficolins and tenascins, the following consensus ... (1fi3)-b-D-glucan-binding protein, which bindto (1fi3)-b-D-glucans, e .g. curdlan or laminarin. Afterbinding of the carbohydrate to the receptor, the expression of the gene coding for the binding protein increases. ... elicitor-binding protein of different structure [61].Following a previously described approach [12], the (1fi3)-b-D-glucan-binding protein was identified biochem-ically. The binding of the linear...
