Popis The functions of fungal lectins are largely unknown. They could be involved in growth and morphogenesis, defense or mycorrhization. Moreover, lectins have a wide range of applications in research, medicine and industry. Some fungal lectins have mitogenic, antitumor, or immunomodulatory activities. New lectins with potentially interesting and useful properties could be found by bioinformatic research, using similarity to known lectins. On the other hand, unique novel lectins with no known homologues could be only detected in and isolated from the natural sources. Also, not all mushrooms genomes are sequenced and characterized, leaving the “wet” laboratory work the only way how to discover lectins in these species. However, successfully identified new lectins have a potential to produce interesting results with possible future applications.
