In this paper we study the potential of simple linear gene-protein interaction networks to store sparse input-output patterns. This problem bears similarity to the engineering task of reconstructing gene networks from time series of expression data, such as sets of microarrays. This is currently an intensively studied field where some results are directly applicable to our context. The central ...

Until recently, storage protein research has been largely restricted to the seed-specific reserve proteins, which provide nutrients to seedlings during their early growth. Their abundance, and the potential for improving seed nutritional quality, were early incentives to investigate seed storage proteins, and they continue to be intensively studied as a plant model for tissue-specific and devel...

Storage protein hydrolysis in the cotyledons of germinating mung beans (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) was examined by histochemical techniques, and the autolytic capacity of isolated protein bodies was studied with biochemical methods. The localization of endopeptidase activity within the cotyledons was studied using an India ink-gelatin film technique. After 24 hours of imbibition, a low level of en...

The von Willebrand factor (VWF) propeptide (VWFpp) is critical for the targeting of VWF multimers to storage granules. VWFpp alone efficiently navigates the storage pathway in AtT-20 and endothelial cells and chaperones mature VWF multimers to storage granules when the two proteins are expressed in cis or in trans. To further define the role of VWFpp in granular sorting, we examined its ability...

 The a im of th is paper was to study the effects w hey pro t e in c oat i ng on ch e m ic al a nd physic al properties of gut t ed K i l ka dur i ng f roz en stor a ge. Coating of Kilka has done by dipping in whey protein solution with different concentrations of 3, 7, 10 and 13%, for 1h. Then, after being packed in polyethylene dishes, they were covered in cellophane blanket and stored in -18...

The genus Hyoscyamus belongs to the tribe Hyoscyameae Miers of Solanaceae family. Variation in protein bands elaborates the relationship among the collections from various geographical regions. In this study the seed storage protein diversity of 19 accessions of Hyoscyamus (H. niger, H. reticulatus and  H. pusillus) from West Azerbaijan (Iran) was investigate...
