• A new magnesium ion requiring N-acetyl-D-glucosamine specific lectin QIL was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from seeds of Quercus ilex L. through successive steps of (i) lectin extraction, (ii) ammonium sulphate (30–50%) fractionation, (iii) diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose chromatography, (iv) carboxymethyl (CM)-cellulose chromatography, and (v) Sephadex G-75 chromatography. The lectin, having specific activity of 25,600 hemagglutination units (HAU)/mg of protein, was found to be a monomeric protein with a native molecular weight of 13.2 kDa. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine was found to exhibit most potent inhibitory action on the lectin activity among all the sugars tested. The lectin was also found to exhibit specificity for human blood groups A, B, and AB. It was converted to the corresponding apo-lectin by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) treatment followed by buffer dialysis. The apo-lectin exhibited a specific and characteristic requirement for magnesium ions for the expression of its activity.
