Lysine rich 18 kDa storage polypeptide front buckwheat seed
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lysine, which is a limited amino acid in cereals, has a remarkably high content in buckwheat seed proteins. We have analyzed the pattern of 14C lysine incorporation into buckwheat seed polypeptides during the mid-maturation stage of seed development. Based on this approach, an 18 kDa polypeptide could be assigned as being lysine rich.

Characterization of seed storage proteins in Populus and their homology with Populus vegetative storage proteins.
We investigated the synthesis and accumulation of vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) in poplar plantlets and the homology between poplar seed storage proteins (SSPs) and VSPs. One-dimensional SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirmed that both seed and vegetative storage proteins contained two predominant polypeptides of MW 32 and 36 kDa, but the subunit composition of the polypeptides d...
متن کاملCoordinated changes in storage proteins during development and germination of elite seeds of Pongamia pinnata, a versatile biodiesel legume
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The oleaginous legume Pongamia pinnata is a rapidly growing and economically important tree. The seeds are used increasingly as feedstock for biodiesel production, with the protein-rich residue providing valuable supplement to farm animal diets. However, little is known about seed development and the characteristics of germination. We therefore studied morphological, protein...

The purpose of the current study was to determine the effects of the introduction of polysaccharide chains onto the molecular surface of buckwheat proteins on buckwheat protein surface functionality. The whole buckwheat protein fraction (WBP) was prepared using 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) containing 0.5 M NaCl and covalently linked with 6 kDa, 17.5 kDa, 40 kDa, 70 kDa, or 200 kDa dextran by...
متن کاملSeed-Specific Expression of a Lysine-Rich Protein Gene, GhLRP, from Cotton Significantly Increases the Lysine Content in Maize Seeds
Maize seed storage proteins are a major source of human and livestock consumption. However, these proteins have poor nutritional value, because they are deficient in lysine and tryptophan. Much research has been done to elevate the lysine content by reducing zein content or regulating the activities of key enzymes in lysine metabolism. Using the naturally lysine-rich protein genes, sb401 and SB...
متن کاملEffects of proteome rebalancing and sulfur nutrition on the accumulation of methionine rich δ-zein in transgenic soybeans
Expression of heterologous methionine-rich proteins to increase the overall sulfur amino acid content of soybean seeds has been only marginally successful, presumably due to low accumulation of transgenes in soybeans or due to gene silencing. Proteome rebalancing of seed proteins has been shown to promote the accumulation of foreign proteins. In this study, we have utilized RNAi technology to s...
