The endosperm storage proteins of 174 Japanese wheat (Triticum aestivum) landraces were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine their high-molecular-weight (HMW) glutenin subunit composition. These are alleles for complex gene loci, Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1, that are present in Japanese hexaploid wheat landraces. These were identified by comparison with the subunit mobility previously found in hexaploid wheat. Twenty-four different, major glutenin HMW subunits were identified. Each landrace contained 3–5 subunits, and 17 different glutenin subunit patterns were observed for 13 alleles in Japanese landraces. Japanese landraces showed specific allelic variation in glutenin HMW subunits, different from those in non-Japanese hexaploid wheats.

Wheat is the major cereal component of bread in the world and is grown worldwide. Of the cereals only the bread wheats – and less the triticale – includes storage proteins that play an important role in the performance of gluten. Proteins of gluten complex may be present in two classes:− low molecular weight (gliadin-) components, and− high molecular weight (glutenin-) components.Gliadins shown appreciable heterogenity and can be separated into 40-50 components with gel electrophoresis. The composition of gliadins is employable for the identification the wheat varieties and to investigate the varieties. In the decreasing electrophoretic mobility sequence may be distinguish α-, β-, γ- and ω-gliadins. A glutenin subunits may be include in two classes:− high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS),− low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS).Wheat varieties can be identified by glutenin and their quality selection is also possible. The gliadin’s polypeptides encoding genes are located on the short arm of chromosomes 1A, 1B and 1D, 6A, 6B and 6D. Genetic coding for HMW subunits is located on the long arms of chromosomes 1A, 1B and 1D, the LMW-GS are also located on chromosomes 1A, 1B and 1D (Glu-3 loci) near the gliadin-coding loci.Storage proteins affect the rheological properties of gluten by two factors:1. The quality and quantity of the protein components of the gluten complex,2. The interactions between the protein fractions.

High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) play an important role in the breadmaking quality of wheat flour. In China, cultivars such as Triticum aestivum 'Xiaoyan No. 6' carrying the 1Bx14 and 1By15 glutenin subunits usually have attributes that result in high-quality bread and noodles. HMW-GS 1Bx14 and 1By15 were isolated by preparative sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and used as an antigen to immunize BALB/c mice. A resulting monoclonal antibody belonging to the IgG1 subclass was shown to bind to all HMW-GSs of Triticum aestivum cultivars, but did not bind to other storage proteins of wheat seeds in a Western blot analysis. After screening a complementary DNA expression library from immature seeds of 'Xiaoyan No. 6' using the monoclonal antibody, the HMW-GS 1By15 gene was isolated and fully sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence showed an extra stretch of 15 amino acid repeats consisting of a hexapeptide and a nonapeptide in the repetitive domain of this y-type HMW subunit. Bacterial expression of a modified 1By15 gene, in which the coding sequence for the signal peptide was removed and a BamHI site eliminated, gave rise to a protein with mobility identical to that of HMW-GSs extracted from seeds of 'Xiaoyan No. 6' via SDS-PAGE. This approach for isolating genes using specific monoclonal antibody against HMW-GS genes is a good alternative to the extensively used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology based on sequence homology of HMW-GSs in wheat and its relatives.Key words: wheat, HMW-GS, monoclonal antibody, immunoscreen.
