Mutants of common bean alpha-amylase inhibitor-2 as an approach to investigate binding specificity to alpha-amylases
Despite the presence of a family of defense proteins, Phaseolus vulgaris can be attacked by bruchid insects resulting in serious damage to stored grains. The two distinct active forms of α-amylase inhibitors, α-AI1 and α-AI2, in P. vulgaris show different specificity toward α-amylases. Zabrotes subfasciatus α-amylase is inhibited by α-AI2 but not by α-AI1. In contrast, porcine α-amylase is inhi...
متن کاملCharacterization of Alpha-amylase inhibitor in Vigna sublobata
Alpha-amylase inhibitor protein, which inhibits the activity of insect (Callosobruchus analis) α-amylase, was characterized from V. sublobata. The molecular weight of purified inhibitor protein was 14 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The inhibitor is non-glycosylated protein and its N-terminal sequence is similar (A P S P V...) to Phaseolus vulgaris α-AI-1. Its pI value is 6.0 and largely localised in cotyledo...
متن کاملA novel alpha-amylase inhibitor from amaranth (Amaranthus hypocondriacus) seeds.
The major alpha-amylase inhibitor (AAI) present in the seeds of Amaranthus hypocondriacus, a variety of the Mexican crop plant amaranth, is a 32-residue-long polypeptide with three disulfide bridges. Purified AAI strongly inhibits the alpha-amylase activity of insect larvae (Tribolium castaneum and Prostephanus truncatus) and does not inhibit proteases and mammalian alpha-amylases. AAI was sequ...
متن کاملPurification and properties of phaseolamin, an inhibitor of alpha-amylase, from the kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris.
Kidney beans, Phaseolus vulgaris, contain a proteinaceous inhibitor of alpha-amylase, which we have named phaseolamin. The inhibitor has been purified to homogeneity by conventional protein fractionation methods involving heat treatment, dialysis, and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-100, and CM-cellulose. Phaseolamin is specific for animal alpha-amylases, having no activity towards...
متن کاملBioactivity-Guided Separation of an α-Amylase Inhibitor Flavonoid from Salvia virgata
It is now believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes (CHEs) in the digestive tract can significantly prolong the overall carbohydrate digestion time and decrease the postprandial hyperglycemia after a meal. Therefore, inhibitors of CHEs can be useful therapeutic approaches in the management of diabetes mellitus, especially in the type 2, and complications associated with t...
