Lectins have a high degree of specificity for the sugars they bind, and hence the proposal that more than one type of oligosaccharide signal is involved in elicitation necessarily dictates that more than one receptor is present at the cell surface. Since the different signals ultimately result in the same response, it is presumed that the signal transduction pathways...
