Thiamin-binding protein from sunflower seeds.
A thiamin-binding protein was isolated from sunflower seeds. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 230 kDa by gel filtration. The protein was suggested to be composed of six subunits, which consisted of polypeptides linked by disulfide bond(s). The protein contained a large amount of glutamine or glutamic acid (19.9 mol%) and asparagine or aspartic acid (11.1 mol%). The levels of tryptophan an...

متن کاملDiacylglycerol acyltransferase in maturing sunflower seeds.
Developing sunflower seeds exhibit a high diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DAGAT, EC 2.3.1.20) activity. The distribution of the enzyme has been studied in subcellular fractions prepared by differential centrifugation of seed homogenate. Its activity was characterized using [1-(14)C]oleoyl-CoA and diolein dispersed in Tween 20. Some properties of the microsomal fraction of DAGAT were investigate...
متن کاملSelection for contrasting seed tocopherol content in sunflower seeds
Sunflower oil, with more than 0.9 of tocopherols in the alpha-tocopherol form, supplies more vitamin E than any other vegetable oil. Thus far, no breeding to increase vitamin E levels in sunflower seeds has been conducted. The objective of the present research was to develop sunflower lines with high and low total seed tocopherol content through evaluation and subsequent selection of a large ge...
