Using a resonance isobar model and an effective Lagrangian approach, from recent BES results on J/{psi}{yields}pp{eta} and {psi}{yields}pK{sup +}{lambda}, we deduce the ratio between effective coupling constants of N*(1535) to K{lambda} and p{eta} to be R{identical_to}g{sub N*(1535)K{lambda}}/g{sub N*(1535)p{eta}}=1.3{+-}0.3. With the previous known value of g{sub N*(1535)p{eta}}, the obtained new value of g{sub N*(1535)K{lambda}} is shown to reproduce recent pp{yields}pK{sup +}{lambda} near-threshold cross section data as well. Taking into account this large N*K{lambda} coupling in the coupled channel Breit-Wigner formula for the N*(1535), its Breit-Wigner mass is found to be around 1400 MeV, much smaller than the previous value of about 1535 MeV obtained without including its coupling to K{lambda}. The implication on the nature of N*(1535) is discussed.
