Crystal structure of soybean 11S globulin: glycinin A3B4 homohexamer.
Most plant seeds contain 11S globulins as major storage proteins for their nutrition. Soybean glycinin belongs to the 11S globulin family and consists of five kinds of subunits. We determined the crystal structure of a homohexamer of the glycinin A3B4 subunit at 2.1-A resolution. The crystal structure shows that the hexamer has 32-point group symmetry formed by face-to-face stacking of two trim...
متن کاملMultiple vacuolar sorting determinants exist in soybean 11S globulin.
The sorting determinants of glycinin, a soybean (Glycine max) 11S globulin, which mediates protein targeting to the protein storage vacuole (PSV), were investigated in maturing soybean cotyledons by transient expression assays. A C-terminal stretch of 10 amino acids of A1aB1b, a glycinin group I subunit, was sufficient to direct green fluorescent protein (GFP) to the PSV. This peptide may corre...
متن کاملImprovement of the Nutritional Value of Soybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] Seed with Alteration in Protein Subunits of Glycinin (11S Globulin) and β-conglycinin (7S Globulin)
Protein quality in soybean seeds is strongly influenced by nutritional conditions. Glycinin (11S globulin) and β-conglycinin (7S globulin) are the 2 main proteins in soybean seeds. Protein quality of glycinin (11S) is higher than that of β-conglycinin (7S), due to the presence of higher amounts of s-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine) in glycinin than β-conglycinin. Of the amino ac...
متن کاملAssessing Glycinin (11S) and b-Conglycinin (7S) Fractions of Soybean Storage Protein by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Soybean breeding programs underway today are addressing the goal of improving the protein profile to benefit the human diet as well as that of livestock. Glycinin, a globulin storage protein of the meal and designated as the 11S size fraction by ultracentrifugation, is desirable because of its relative abundance of sulfur-containing amino acids, such as methionine and cysteine. The current stud...
متن کاملIsolation of glycinin (11S) from lipid-reduced soybean flour: effect of processing conditions on yields and purity.
Defatted soybean flour was treated with hexane and ethanol to reduce lipid content and heated to inactivate lipoxygenase (LOX, linoleate:oxygen reductase; EC 1.13.11.12) to obtain lipid-reduced soybean flour (LRSF). The effects of processing conditions such as pH, reducing agent and storage time on yields and purity of glycinin (11S) were evaluated in the fractionation of soybean glycinin isola...
