The effect of chemical modification on a D(+)-galactose-specific lectin isolated from winged-bean tubers was investigated to identify the type of amino acid involved in its haemagglutinating activity. Various anhydrides of dicarboxylic acids, such as acetic anhydride, succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride and citraconic anhydride, modified 57-68% of the amino groups of the winged-bean tuber lectin. Treatment with N-acetylimidazole modified only 45% of the total amino groups. Reductive methylation of free amino groups modified 57% of the amino groups. Modification of the amino groups of the lectin by acetic anhydride and succinic anhydride did not lead to any significant change in the haemagglutinating activity (greater than or equal to 75% active). However, citraconylation and maleylation of the lectin led to a significant decrease in the haemagglutinating activity (less than or equal to 20% active). Acetylation and succinylation (3-carboxypropionylation) of the lectin led to a decrease in the pI value of the native lectin from approx. 9.5 to approx. 4.5. Treatment of the lectin with N-bromosuccinimide led to the modification of two and four tryptophan residues per molecule in the absence and in the presence of 8 M-urea respectively. The immunological identity of all the modified lectin preparations showed no gross structural changes except the lectin modified with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of urea at pH 4.0.
