A number of proteins that accumulate in vacuoles and protein bodies undergo posttranslational processing at these accumulation sites. These processing steps include proteolytic cleavage (e.g. pea lectin, soybean glycinin, and rice lectin) and the removal of some sugar residues from oligosaccharide side-chains (e.g. bean phytohemagglutinin). Treatment of immature rice embryos with the sodium ion...

Methods 11 subjects with clinically confirmed soybean allergy and sIgE against rGly m 6 were enrolled in this study. Synthetic overlapping peptides (15-mers, 4 aa offset) representing the amino acid sequences of G1 and G5, two representative subunits of Gly m 6, were spotted onto CelluSpotTM slides and analyzed for IgE-binding, respectively. The sequences of IgE-binding peptides were allocated ...

Soybean protein is one of the least expensive sources of dietary protein [3]. Soybean protein is considered to be a good substituent for animal protein [4], and their nutritional profile ex‐ cept sulfur amino acids (methionine and cysteine) is almost similar to that of animal protein because soybean proteins contain most of the essential amino acids required for animal and human nutrition.
