چکیده

The amino acid sequences of the acidic and basic components of the A2B1a subunit of glycinin, the major seed reserve protein of the soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), were determined. They contain 278 and 180 amino acids, respectively, and have molecular weights of 31,600 +/- 100 and 19,900 +/- 100. The molecular weight of the acidic component is considerably less than that estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis (37,000). Sequence heterogeneity was detected at several positions scattered throughout the primary structures of both components, indicating that the preparation sequenced was composed of several nearly identical polypeptides. These data, in conjunction with a recently determined nucleotide sequence of the 3'-terminal two-thirds of the analogous glycinin subunit gene, illustrate the complexity of the gene family responsible for synthesis of glycinin subunits.

The complete amino acid sequence of the A3 subunit of the glycinin seed storage protein of the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill).

The amino acid sequence of the A3 subunit, an acidic subunit of the glycinin seed storage protein of the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), has been determined by sequence analysis of the peptides obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage followed by enzymatic digestion and partial acid hydrolysis. The A3 subunit is composed of 410 amino acids (Mr approximately 46,000). It has been confirmed that ...

A Single Point Mutation within the Coding Sequence of Cholera Toxin B Subunit Will Increase Its Expression Yield

Background: Cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) has been extensively considered as an immunogenic and adjuvant protein, but its yield of expression is not satisfactory in many studies. The aim of this study was to compare the expression of native and mutant recombinant CTB (rCTB) in pQE vector. Methods: ctxB fragment from Vibrio cholerae O1 ATCC14035 containing the substitution of mutant ctxB for ami...

Nucleotide Sequence Analysis of S1 Gene among Iranian Avian Infectious Bronchitis Viruses Isolated during 2001-2002

Infectious bronchitis (IB) virus genome codes for four structural proteins, among which the S1 subunit of spike glycoprotein comprises the major epitopes to induce neutralizing antibodies. This study involved the comparison of the full S1 sequences of five IB viruses, namely two Massachusetts and three 793/B serotypes, isolated from IB outbreaks during 2001-2002, with all other Iranian an...

Soybean glycinin A1aB1b subunit has a molecular chaperone-like function to assist folding of the other subunit having low folding ability.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) glycinin is composed of five subunits which are classified into two groups (group I: A1aB1b, A1bB2, and A2B1a; group II: A3B4 and A5A4B3). All the common soybean cultivars contain both group I and II subunits (Maruyama, N. et al., Phytochemistry, 64, 701-708 (2003)). The biosynthesis of group I starts earlier compared with that of the A3B4 subunit during seed developmen...

S1 gene sequence analysis of infectious bronchitis virus vaccinal strains (H120 & H52) and their embryo-passaged derivatives

Avian infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious disease that mainly causes respiratory symptoms in poultry. A number of serotypes and variants of the viral agent with poor cross-protection are the major problem to achieve desired immunity from vaccination. The S1 subunit of S glycoprotein (spike) is the major determinant of IBV so that a minor change in amino acid sequence of this...
