大豆下胚轴可溶性蛋白中钙激活的蛋白激酶

大豆（Ｇｌｙｃｉｎｅ ｍ ａｘ Ｌ．） 下胚轴可溶性蛋白提取液进行自磷酸化，以ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ电泳分析其标记产物时发现，当有较高浓度的Ｃａ２＋ 存在于反应液中时，有一条１８ ｋＤ蛋白带被高强度标记，同时也可观察到另一条标记强度不高的６７ ｋＤ蛋白带． 当反应时间延长到１５ 或３０ｍ ｉｎ 时，它们的标记强度都逐渐减弱，最终从放射自显影底片上消失；在反应液中加入钙螯合剂ＥＧＴＡ 时，则只有６７ ｋＤ 被高强度标记；在磷酸化反应过程中加入非标记ＡＴＰ，蛋白中的３２Ｐ逐渐被非标记磷取代，表明反应体系处于磷酸化－脱磷酸化的平衡过程中，并有结果显示这一过程是钙依赖性的． 组蛋白Ｈ１ 可以使反应进程加快，表明提取液中的蛋白激酶可以利用它作为底物． 综合结果表明，１８ ｋＤ和６７ ｋＤ蛋白可能是具有自磷酸化能力且对Ｃａ２＋ 敏感的蛋白激酶，它们对Ｃａ２＋ 的不同反应，使得钙信号的传递更具可控性

Electromicrographic Analysis Storage Protein Accumulation in Endosperms of Maize with Qualified Protein

The characteristics of storage protein accumulation of maize with qualified protein (MQP) and 02 maize were analysed basing on the genetical and biochemical point of views. The 22 kD and 20 kD zeins in the developing endosperms of maize accumulated 15 days after pollination. The structural genes encoding 22 kD and 20 kD zeins in the developing endosperms were simutaneously expressed. In the endosperms of MPQ and o2 maize the synthesis of 22 kD and 20 kD zeins was suppressed. That is to say, o2 gene negatively regulated the synthesis of 22 kD and 20 kD zeins. Two-dimentional electrophoretic analysis of zeins in the maize endosperms further revealed the effects of o2 gene and its modifiers on the synthesis of zeins. In Mol7 and Mo17/o2 endosperms the synthesis of 27 kD, 22 kD, 20 kD and 15 kD zeins was severely suppressed. In 041/oz and 040/o2 endosperms little difference existed SDS-PAGE analysis of the soluble proteins of Mol 7 and Mo17/o2 endosperms revealted that two bands with molecular weight (MW) of 38.7 kD and 26.7 kD were present in wild type but absent in o2 mutant, while two bands with MW 27.2 kD and 26.1 kD were present in o2 mutant but absent in wild type. These differences were resulted from the effect of o2 gene. In 040/02 and 041/o2 endosperms two bands with MW 18.6 kD and 17.6 kD were present in 041/o2 but absent in 040/02 while one band with MW 40. 2 kD was present in 040/02 and absent in 041/o2, which was closely related to the effects of the modifiers of o2 gene.     

Effect of the opaque and floury mutations on the accumulation of dry matter and protein fractions in maize endosperm.

Grains of nine opaque (o) and floury (fl) mutants of maize (Oh43o1, Oh43o2, B79o5, B37o7, W22o10, W22o11, W22o13, Oh43fl1 and Oh43fl2) were examined for the weight proportions of their component tissues and the content of eight nitrogen fractions in their endosperms. A linear regression was found connecting the amounts (mg per endosperm) of zeins and true proteins (crude proteins minus non-protein nitrogen) for the non-opaque2 mutants. The data points connecting zeins to true proteins present in the mature endosperms of six wild-type (+) inbred lines and their o2 versions were located outside (+) or within (o2) the 95% confidence range of the regression line. The data obtained from the developing and mature endosperms of the W22o7 inbred line (Di Fonzo et al., Plant Sci. Lett., 1979, 77) and the floury portion of mature endosperms of three other wild-type inbred lines fell practically on the regression line. The effects of genotype and environmental factors upon the relative accumulation rate of zeins were assessed from the present results and the data taken from the literature concerning the quantitative interdependence between zeins and true proteins in immature and mature endosperms.     

Influence of genotype and texture on zein content in endosperm of maize grains

The effect of genotypes and texture on the content of proteins in maize grains was examined by assessing absolute amounts of six protein fractions in the whole endosperms of four wild‐type lines with high protein content and four quality protein maize (QPM) varieties and for hand‐dissected hard and soft endosperm regions from eight other lines. As previously reported for six wild‐type lines and their opaque‐2(o2) versions, zeins were predominant for all genetic backgrounds and all types of endosperms. From these data and others the amounts of zeins and true proteins (crude proteins free of non‐protein nitrogen) in developing and mature endosperms of wild‐type lines were correlated. The data points for zeins from hard endosperms lay between the regression line and the upper limit of confidence area. Those for zeins from soft endosperms were located at the lower part of confidence area and on a level with the points corresponding to the most immature endosperms. Furthermore, some data points for zeins from o2 and QPM samples lay near the lower limit while the others were outside the confidence area. This suggested an initial zein accumulation dependent on the genotype at a low relative rate, followed by an accumulation at higher rate. The conditions used for isolating and quantitating zeins are discussed.

In maize,glutelin-2 and low molecular weight zeins are synthesized by membrane-bound polyribosomes and translocated into microsomal membranes

Summary Experiments to establish the site of biosynthesis and the possible translocation into microsomes of glutelins-2 (28 kD G2) and low molecular weight zeins (10, 14, 15 kD Z2) have been carried out. Free and membrane-bound polyribosomes as well as microsomal membranes were isolated from immature endosperms of W64A Zea mays L. In vitro translation studies were carried out in the presence and in the absence of membranes using [³⁵S]-methionine or [³⁵S]-cysteine as precursors. Cell-free translation products were characterized by electrophoretic mobility, solubility and antigenic properties. The results obtained indicate that 28 kD G2 and low molecular weight zeins are primarily synthesized on membrane-bound polysomes. From experiments using proteinase K as a probe, we also conclude that these proteins are translocated into microsomes where they accumulate. The translocated and pre-28 kD G2 proteins do not present changes in the apparent molecular weight. However we show that there are differences in their isoelectric points, a fact that indicates the existence of 28 kD G2 processing.     

Opaque7 encodes an acyl-activating enzyme-like protein that affects storage protein synthesis in maize endosperm

In maize, a series of seed mutants with starchy endosperm could increase the lysine content by decreased amount of zeins, the main storage proteins in endosperm. Cloning and characterization of these mutants could reveal regulatory mechanisms for zeins accumulation in maize endosperm. Opaque7 (o7) is a classic maize starchy endosperm mutant with large effects on zeins accumulation and high lysine content. In this study, the O7 gene was cloned by map-based cloning and confirmed by transgenic functional complementation and RNAi. The o7-ref allele has a 12-bp in-frame deletion. The four-amino-acid deletion caused low accumulation of o7 protein in vivo. The O7 gene encodes an acyl-activating enzyme with high similarity to AAE3. The opaque phenotype of the o7 mutant was produced by the reduction of protein body size and number caused by a decrease in the α-zeins concentrations. Analysis of amino acids and metabolites suggested that the O7 gene might affect amino acid biosynthesis by affecting α-ketoglutaric acid and oxaloacetic acid. Transgenic rice seeds containing RNAi constructs targeting the rice ortholog of maize O7 also produced lower amounts of seed proteins and displayed an opaque endosperm phenotype, indicating a conserved biological function of O7 in cereal crops. The cloning of O7 revealed a novel regulatory mechanism for storage protein synthesis and highlighted an effective target for the genetic manipulation of storage protein contents in cereal seeds.
