چکیده

In soybean seeds the level of hydroxyproline is regulated in a developmental and tissue-specific manner. The seed coat contains approximately 77% of the total hydroxyproline in the seed at all stages of development. We determined the ratio of hydroxyproline to dry weight in a number of tissues within the seed; however, only the seed coat shows an increase in this ratio during development. Within the many cell layers of the seed coat, hydroxyproline is most abundant in the external layer. The hydroxyproline is present as an hydroxyproline-rich cell wall glycoprotein. The protein is rich in hydroxyproline (36%), lysine (11%), proline (10%), histidine (9%), tyrosine (9%), and serine (8%). The carbohydrate portion is 90 mole% arabinose and 10 mole% galactose. The arabinose residues are attached to hydroxyproline mostly in the form of trisaccharides. The apparent molecular weight of this glycoprotein is 100,000 daltons.

Immunocytolocalization of extensin in developing soybean seed coats by immunogold-silver staining and by tissue printing on nitrocellulose paper

In soybean seed coats the accumulation of the hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein extensin is regulated in a developmental and tissue-specific manner. The time course of appearance of extensin during seed development was studied by Western blot analysis and by immunogold-silver localization. Using these techniques extensin was first detected at 16-18 d after anthesis, increasing during development...

A soybean cell wall protein is affected by seed color genotype.

The dominant I gene inhibits accumulation of anthocyanin pigments in epidermal cells of the soybean seed coat. We compared saline-soluble proteins extracted from developing seed coats and identified a 35-kilodalton protein that was abundant in Richland (genotype I/I, yellow) and much reduced in an isogenic mutant line T157 (genotype i/i, imperfect black seed coats). We purified the 35-kilodalto...

A developmentally regulated hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein in maize pericarp cell walls.

We have studied the accumulation of peptidyl hydroxyproline in the pericarp of developing maize (Zea mays L., Golden cross Bantam sweet corn) kernels. Although this hydroxyproline accumulates throughout development, it is most soluble and its content per milligram dry weight greatest at midmaturation stages of development. Salt-soluble proteins containing this hydroxyproline from isolated cell ...

Developmentally regulated expression of soybean proline-rich cell wall protein genes.

Previously, we reported the characterization of a developmentally regulated proline-rich cell wall protein (SbPRP1) gene of soybean; the encoded protein is represented by a consensus amino acid repeat structure of Pro-Pro-Val-Tyr-Lys [Hong, J.C., Nagao, R.T., and Key, J.L. (1987). J. Biol. Chem. 262, 8367-8376]. Two other closely related members of this family of proline-rich protein (PRP) gene...

The aberrant cell walls of boron-deficient bean root nodules have no covalently bound hydroxyproline-/proline-rich proteins.

B-deficient bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) nodules examined by light microscopy showed dramatic anatomical changes, mainly in the parenchyma region. Western analysis of total nodule extracts examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that one 116-kD polypeptide was recognized by antibodies raised against hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) from the soybean ...
