Abstract: | A procedure was developed for preparing lipid- and phenol-free prolamin directly from IR480-5-9 milled rice (Oryza sativa L.).The preparation consisted mainly of one protein band on analytical and SDS-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis with subunit MW of 17000 and a minor fraction with subunit MW 23000. The prolamin eluted as a single peak on SDS-Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and on DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Prolamin was poor in lysine, histidine, cystine, and methionine but rich in glutamic acid, tyrosine and proline. In dehulled developing grain of two different rices, changes in the aminogram of the prolamin fraction coincided with the start of endosperm protein body synthesis and the appearance from 7 days after flowering of a second prolamin subunit with MW 23 000. |
