Cajanus cajan lectins (CCL) is a promising candidate molecules for the protection against sap sucking insect pests like Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach). Legume lectin toxicity against hemipteran has been proven by various experiments. This study explains the insecticidal potential of CCL through molecular modeling and docking with receptor alanyl Aminopeptidase N from Acyrthosiphon pisum membrane.The functional domain analysis of CCL revealed metal binding and N-linked glycosylation site. The physico-chemical parameter like theoretical isoelectric point (pI) is 5.59, instability index is 24, aliphatic index is 80.80 and GRAVY value is -0.070. The secondary structure attributes of CCL protein explain its structural behavior and biological activity.The CELLO2GO tools revealed subcellular localization of CCL protein was plasma membrane with a reliability score of 2.289. The present study using various bio-computational tools could, therefore, help in our understanding of CCL protein structure and prove to potential candidate gene for generating transgenic for increased aphid resistance.
