花生种子发育和萌发过程中贮藏蛋白的合成和降解

以花生品种汕油5 2 3种子为材料,分离纯化花生球蛋白的41 kD和38.5 kD两种主要亚基及伴花生球蛋白的6 0.5 KD亚基并制备抗体.We stern blot分析表明,3种亚基在花生胚组织分化期的胚轴和子叶中就开始合成,其中60.5 kD亚基是最先在胚轴和子叶中大量合成和积累的贮藏蛋白,41 kD和38.5 kD亚基在随后的发育中积累量不断增加;种子萌发时这3种亚基的降解进程不一样,胚轴和子叶中41 kD和38.5kD亚基的降解均先于60.5 kD亚基.     

The Relation of Storage Protein to Vigor and Its Mobilization Pattern in Germinating Peanut Seeds

The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds harvested at the last stage of maturation were divided into five grades by size. The content of total protein, salt-soluble protein, arachin, conarachin I and 2s globulin in these seeds were measured. No obvious differences in germination percentage and the length of radicle and hypocotyl within 3d germination in dark were observed among the five grades of seeds. But there were significant differences in the seedling growth after two weeks of germination in light. There was a very close correlation between the storage protein in cotyledons and the seedling growth. When seeds germinated in light, the efficiency of mobilization of the salt-soluble protein in the cotyledons was higher than that in the cotyledons of the seeds germinating in dark. All of the salt-soluble protein in cotyledons was used up after 14d seedling growth in light. SDS-PAGE of salt-soluble protein showed that 23.5, 38.5 and 41 kD subunits of arachin were first mobilized during germination. The 18 kD subunits of arachin were not mobilized until the above-mentioned subunits were used up. The 60.5 kD subunit of conarachin I and 2s globulin were degradated within 2 to 3 days during germination.

Molecular heterogeneity of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Fabaceae) seed storage proteins

81 wild forms and 110 cultivated cowpea,Vigna unguiculata, accessions from 21 countries of Africa were screened for variability in seed storage proteins. Total seed proteins, albumin and globulin fractions were investigated by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and isoelectric focusing (IEF) of nonreduced and/or reduced samples in one- and two-dimensional procedures. The globulin fraction is heterogeneous in molecular weight and contains both legumin-like components and three to six nondisulfide-linked subunits. Three globulin subunits, with molecular weights 110, 76, and 41 kD were found to be composed of disulfide-linked polypeptides. In the nondisulfide-linked fraction, both cultivated and wild forms exhibited patterns of four types (A–D). This fraction contains polypeptide subunits of molecular weights 62, 56, and 52 kD for A type, 62, 56, 54, and 52 kD for B type, 62, 56, 52, and 50 kD for C type, and at least 62, 56, 54, 52, 50, and 49 kD for D type. These subunits present similar multiple charge forms but C and D types possess more basic specific 50 and 49 kD nondisulfide linked components. Major albumin fraction contains subunits of 94, 86, 32, and 24kD. No infraspecific variation was observed in albumin or legumin-like fractions. The discussion is focussed on the relations between genetic variability assessed by storage protein coding genes and phenotypic variability.     

萌发中花生胚轴的耐干性与热稳定蛋白

成熟花生种子吸胀１８ ｈ 发芽率达１００ ％ 。在这１８ ｈ 的范围内,胚轴即使经干燥处理,萌发生长率仍保持１００ ％ ,而热稳定蛋白含量变化很小。吸胀２４ ｈ 后,经干燥的花生胚完全丧失萌发生长能力。ＳＤＳＰＡＧＥ和双向电泳表明,花生胚轴的热稳定蛋白主要是贮藏蛋白,该蛋白中的花生球蛋白大亚基,伴花生球蛋白Ｉ和２Ｓ 蛋白的降解与胚轴的耐干性丧失有关。     

Studies on Changing Protein Levels in Developing and Germinating Seeds of Lathyrus sativus L.

SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of seed protein extracts showed synthesis of major legumin and vicilin polypeptides from 30 OAF onwards though very faint polypeptide bands could be seen at early stage of 10 OAF. Globulin synthesis enhanced and dominated in the second half of seed development. In germinating seeds, legumin polypeptides (mol wt 75–66, 45–41 kD) and vlcllin polypeptides (mol wt 54 kD) were degraded Increasingly from 2nd to 6th day of germination. Globulins and glutellns decreased and albumins Increased from 2nd to 6th day of seed germination.     

Characterization of isoperoxidase activity in Arachis hypogaea cultivars

Isoperoxidases (both anodic and cathodic) from individual seeds of several peanut cultivars (Arachis hypogaea), after ammonium sulfate precipitation of the major storage protein, arachin, from the extracts were characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with respect to seed development, maturity and germination and the geographic areas where grown. All cultivars had a major cathodic isozyme near the origin of the gels. Much anodic intra- and inter-varietal isozyme polymorphism was observed in mature seeds collected from different geographic areas. These polymorphic isozymes were consistently present during the earlier stages of seed development (the activities decreased quantitatively and became variable during the later stages of maturation), and most were observed in each peanut upon germination, the latter showing quantitative increases in activity.     

Proteomic analysis of peanut seed storage proteins and genetic variation in a potential peanut allergen

Peanut allergy is one of the most severe food allergies. One effort to alleviate this problem is to identify peanut germplasm with lower levels of allergens which could be used in conventional breeding to produce a less allergenic peanut cultivar. In this study, we identified one peanut line, GT-C9, lacking several seed proteins, which were identified as Ara h 3 isoforms by peptide sequencing and named iso-Ara h 3. Total seed proteins were analyzed by one-dimensional (SDS-PAGE) and two-dimensional gel electrophoreses (2-D PAGE). The total protein extracts were also tested for levels of protein-bound end products or adducts such as advanced glycation end products (AGE) and N-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML), and IgE binding. Peanut genotypes of GT-C9 and GT-C20 exhibited significantly lower levels of AGE adducts and of IgE binding. This potential peanut allergen iso-Ara h 3 was confirmed by peptide sequences and Western blot analysis using specific anti-Ara h 1, Ara h 2, and Ara h 3 antibodies. A full-length sequence of iso-ara h 3 (GenBank number DQ855115) was obtained. The deduced amino acid sequence iso-Ara h 3 (ABI17154) has the first three of four IgE-binding epitopes of Ara h 3. Anti-Ara h 3 antibodies reacted with two groups of protein peptides, one with strong reactions and another with weak reactions. These peptide spots with weak reaction on 2-D PAGE to anti-Ara h 3 antibodies are subunits or isoallergens of this potential peanut allergen iso-Ara h 3. A recent study suggested that Ara h 3 basic subunits may be more significant allergenicity than the acidic subunits.     

Soybean lectin and related proteins in seeds and roots of le and le soybean varieties

The localizations of soybean lectin (SBL) and antigenically related proteins in cotyledons and roots of lectin positive (Le⁺) and lectin negative (Le⁻) soybean cultivars were compared by light level immunocytochemistry using antibodies produced against the 120 kilodalton (kD) native seed lectin tetramer or its subunits. Lectin is present in the protein bodies of cotyledons cells as are two other seed proteins, the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor and the storage protein glycinin. Analysis of single seed extracts by immunoblotting of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels using the same antibodies, reveals up to 4 milligrams of the 30 kD seed lectin protein is present per seed in the Le⁺ varieties. There is no detectable lectin in the protein bodies of Le⁻ cotyledons as determined by immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed this result to a sensitivity of less than 20 nanograms per seed. In contrast, the roots of both Le⁺ and Le⁻ plants bind the seed lectin antibody during immunocytochemistry, with fluorescence mainly localized in vacuole-like bodies in the epidermis. Root extracts contain a 33 kD polypeptide that binds anti-SBL antibody at an estimated minimal level of 20 nanograms per 4-day seedling, or 2.0 nanograms per primary root tip. This polypeptide is also present in the embryo axis and in leaves. The latter also contain a 26 kD species that binds seed lectin antibody. The 30 kD seed lectin subunit, however, is not detectable in roots or leaves.     

The Partial Characterization of the Major Seed Storage Proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana L.

This study was aimed at the characterization of the major storage proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. Two major protein fractions, i.e., the fraction Ⅰ and Ⅱ proteins, were isolated from the extract of mature seeds of this plant by molecular seive gel filtration chromatography. Various polyacrylarnide gel electrophoretic techniques were used to study the properties and polypeptide compositions of these two protein fractions. In was shown that during the SDS gel electrophoresis, fraction Ⅰ protein was separated into 6 major bands with the mol. was. of 34, 31, 29, 28 and 19-20 kD, respectively, whereas Fraction Ⅱ protein migrated as 3 low mol. wt. bands (10-12 kD) on the same gel. Non-denaturing native gel electrophoresis revealed that fraction Ⅰ was a neutral protein and Fraction Ⅱ was a positively charged basic protein with an isoelectric point (pI) higher than 8.8. Fraction I protein was further separated into at least 16 polypeptides in isoelectric focusing/SDS two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, i.e. each SDS band contained 3-4 polypeptides with the same mol. wt. but different pis. This suggested a more complex polypeptide composition of this protein. The properties of fraction Ⅰ and Ⅱ proteins were in good accordance with that of the 12s and 1.7s storage globulins in seeds of many other dicotyledonous plants, and therefore had been characterized as the two major seed storage proteins in this species. These two storage globulins were shown to be accumulated within a defined period during the late stage of seed development (12-14 DAF) and became predominant protein components in mature seeds. In the mean time, a few points in relation to the polypeptide composition and subunit molecular configuration of the 12s globulin were noted.

Accumulation of Vacuolar H+-Pyrophosphatase and H+-ATPase during Reformation of the Central Vacuole in Germinating Pumpkin Seeds

Protein storage vacuoles were examined for the induction of H+-pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase), H+-ATPase, and a membrane integral protein of 23 kD after seed germination. Membranes of protein storage vacuoles were prepared from dry seeds and etiolated cotyledons of pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.). Membrane vesicles from etiolated cotyledons had ATP- and pyrophosphate-dependent H+-transport activities. H+-ATPase activity was sensitive to nitrate and bafilomycin, and H+-PPase activity was stimulated by potassium ion and inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The activities of both enzymes increased after seed germination. On immunoblot analysis, the 73-kD polypeptide of H+-PPase and the two major subunits, 68 and 57 kD, of vacuolar H+-ATPase were detected in the vacuolar membranes of cotyledons, and the levels of the subunits of enzymes increased parallel to those of enzyme activities. Small amounts of the subunits of the enzymes were detected in dry cotyledons. Immunocytochemical analysis of the cotyledonous cells with anti-H+-PPase showed the close association of H+-PPase to the membranes of protein storage vacuoles. In endosperms of castor bean (Ricinus communis), both enzymes and their subunits increased after germination. Furthermore, the vacuolar membranes from etiolated cotyledons of pumpkin had a polypeptide that cross-reacted with antibody against a 23-kD membrane protein of radish vacuole, VM23, but the membranes of dry cotyledons did not. The results from this study suggest that H+-ATPase, H+-PPase, and VM23 are expressed and accumulated in the membranes of protein storage vacuoles after seed germination. Overall, the findings indicate that the membranes of protein storage vacuoles are transformed into those of central vacuoles during the growth of seedlings.

Proteomics analysis of mature seed of four peanut cultivars using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis reveals distinct differential expression of storage, anti-nutritional, and allergenic proteins

Profiles of total seed proteins isolated from mature seeds of four peanut cultivars, New Mexico Valencia C (NM Valencia C), Tamspan 90, Georgia Green, and NC-7, were studied using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with nano-electrospray ionization liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nESI-LC–MS/MS). Two-dimensional gels stained with silver nitrate revealed a total of 457, 516, 556, and 530 protein spots in NM Valencia C, Tamspan 90, Georgia Green, and NC-7, respectively. Twenty abundant protein spots showing differences in relative abundance among these cultivars were analyzed by nESI-LC–MS/MS, resulting in identification of 14 non-redundant proteins. The majority of these proteins belonged to the globulin fraction consisting of arachin (glycinin and Arah3/4) and conarachin seed storage proteins as well as other allergen proteins. The expression of some of these identified protein spots was cultivar-specific. For example, allergen Arah3/Arah4 and conarachin protein spots were only detected in Tamspan 90 and NC-7, whereas the Gly1 protein spot was detected only in NM Valencia C and NC-7. Moreover, a galactose-binding lectin protein spot with anti-nutritive properties was only present in Tamspan 90. Other proteins showing differences in relative abundance among the four cultivars included 13-lipoxygenase, fructose-biphosphate aldolase, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Together, these results suggest that identified proteins might serve as potential markers for cultivar differentiation and may be associated with underlying sensory and nutritional traits of peanut cultivars.     

Isolation and Partial Characterization of the Major Seed Protein from Nicotiana tabacum,and Accumulation during Development

During the seed development of Nicotiana tabacum, appreciable accumulation of the soluble protein fraction started to occur at around the 6th day after anthesis and finally reached 12% on the basis of dry weight when seed maturation was accomplished. In the soluble fraction of mature seeds, four protein fractions were observed on analytical ultracentrifugation, and the protein having a sedimentation coefficient of 11.7S was the major one. The 11.7S protein was isolated and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the protein consisted of at least five subunits with molecular weights of 49,000, 31,000, 29,000, 21,000 and 19,000. The 11.7S protein was rich in glutamic acid or glutamine and arginine, and the presence of carbohydrate was confirmed.

During development, all of the five subunits started to appear during the period between the 12th and 15th day after anthesis.
