Isolation and properties of a metalloproteinase from buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) seeds

A homogeneous preparation of metalloproteinase, purified 1000-fold, was obtained from buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) seeds. The Mr of the enzyme, determined by SDS/PAGE, was 34,000 (it was 39,000 by gel chromatography). Its pH optimum was 8.0-8.2 with 13 S globulin, from buckwheat seeds, as substrate. Atomic-absorption spectroscopy revealed the presence of one Zn2+ ion per enzyme molecule. The enzyme was completely inhibited by EDTA (1 mM), zincone (1 mM) and 1, 10-phenanthroline (1 mM). The metalloproteinase performed limited proteolysis of the following seed storage proteins: 13 S globulin from buckwheat seeds and 11 S globulin from soybean (Glycine max) seeds. It hydrolysed three peptide bonds formed by the amino groups of Leu15, Tyr16 and Phe25 in the oxidized B-chain of insulin. In its main properties the enzyme is similar to metalloproteinases of animal and bacterial origin.

Total Seed

Total seed storage protein profiles of 74 mungbean land races, three wild accessions and a popular variety ‘Jyoti’ of Odisha were analysed by Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). 32 genotypes could be clearly identified based on genotype-specific seed protein fingerprints while rest of the test genotypes were categorized into eight protein types. Genotypes included in each protein type had 100% homology and some of these could be duplicates. In this pursuit, a few specific polypeptide markers have been detected for identification of the land races/ genotypes. Dendrogram based on electrophoretic data clustered the genotypes into seven groups at 70% phenon level. Paralakhemundi local, Samarjhola local and Phulbani local-D; and three wild accessions (TCR 20, TCR 213 and TCR 243) were comparatively divergent from other genotypes. Besides, Jyoti, Kalahandi local 2A, Sikri local, kodala local A and TCR 20 were identified to be protein rich with high seed yield. TCR 20 being morphologically similar to mungbean, moderately high protein content and high yielding as well as resistant to drought and bruchids; it may serve as a valuable source genotype in recombination breeding

Effects Of Drought

A field experiment was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and application of starter nitrogen fertilizer on seed storage proteins and protein pattern in chickpea cultivars. Experiment was performed in split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiment was laid out in a split-factorial design with drought stress in main plots and cultivar with nitrogen fertilizer in subplots with three replications. The experimental treatments consisted of three levels of drought stress [severe drought stress (S2), moderate drought stress (S1) and no drought stress(S0)] and two cultivars of chickpea consist of Azad and Bivanij and 2 N levels. Plants were either not given any N fertilizer (N0), or fertilized by N fertilizer at the rate of 25 kg ha-1 (N25). The results of this study showed that the effects of drought stress on seed storage proteins and protein yield, effect of cultivars on protein yield were significant. With increase of drought stress seed storage proteins was increased and protein yield decreased. Severe drought stress treatment has the highest seed protein and the control treatment has the lowest seed protein. Non stress treatment has the highest protein yield and the severe drought stress treatment has the lowest protein yield. The SDS- PAGE results revealed that no effects treatments on the protein banding patterns but the related severe drought stress bands were chromatic, because they have highest protein concentration in some protein bands.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v9i5.12704

Food Applications

The objective of this work was to quantify the accumulation of the major seed storage protein subunits, β-conglycinin and glycinin, and how they influence yield and protein and oil contents in high-protein soybean genotypes. The relative accumulation of subunits was calculated by scanning SDS-PAGE gels using densitometry. The protein content of the tested genotypes was higher than control cultivar in the same maturity group. Several genotypes with improved protein content and with unchanged yield or oil content were developed as a result of new breeding initiatives. This research confirmed that high-protein cultivars accumulate higher amounts of glycinin and β-conglycinin. Genotypes KO5427, KO5428, and KO5429, which accumulated lower quantities of all subunits of glycinin and β-conglycinin, were the only exceptions. Attention should be given to genotypes KO5314 and KO5317, which accumulated significantly higher amounts of both subunits of glycinin, and to genotypes KO5425, KO5319, KO539 and KO536, which accumulated significantly higher amounts of β-conglycinin subunits. These findings suggest that some of the tested genotypes could be beneficial in different breeding programs aimed at the production of agronomically viable plants, yielding high-protein seed with specific composition of storage proteins for specific food applications.

Species Specific

Taxonomically useful descriptors were provided by the banding patterns of seed storage proteins obtained when extracts of bulked, ungerminated seed samples from commercially available North American native species of Festuca were analyzed by sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE). The banding patterns for three species of rough fescues (section Breviaristatae Krivot) indicate that although the taxa are closely related, F. campestris Rydb. (2n = 56) does not appear to be an autoploid of either F. altaica Trin. (2n = 28) or F. hallii (Vasey) Piper (2n = 28). A distinct band corresponding to a molecular weight of 57 000 occurred in the seed protein profiles of all native and commercial samples of Festuca L. analyzed. The profile for F. californica Vasey, questionably section Breviaristatae, also has a band at this position, and is very different from that of F. altaica, F. campestris, and F. hallii. Species-specific banding patterns were observed for F. brachyphylla Schultes, F. saximontana Rydb., F. idahoensis Elmer, and F. trachyphylla (Hackel) Krajina (F. ovina L. s.l., F. longifolia Thuill., F. ovina var. duriuscula auct. amer.). The results support the recognition of subgenus Schedonorus (Beauv.) Peter., and sections Breviaristatae Krivot and Festuca. Key words: Poaceae, Festuca, SDS–PAGE seed proteins.

SDS-PAGE analysis of seed proteins was carried out to identify the cultivars in the forage crop, timothy (Phleum pratense L.). Nineteen cultivars of timothy were examined. Among them five were from Europe and fourteen from North America. In total fifty protein bands were detected in mature seed extract by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie blue staining. Except for two pairs, all the cultivars were differentiated by SDS-PAGE analysis of seed storage proteins. In the electrophoretic profile, no protein bands were found to be specific either to European or to North American cultivars which is an indication of their genetic similarity. Twelve samples of cultivar Toro harvested from Alberta and Manitoba (Canada), Idaho and Minnesota (USA) were compared and no significant differences were found in their seed protein banding patterns, which suggests environmental stability of timothy seed proteins.Key words: SDS PAGE, timothy cultivar identification, seed storage proteins

Aim. To establish the presence of polymorphism and differences in variants of the protein spectrum of buckwheat seed storage proteins in groups of varieties with different colors of the flower corolla. Methods. Electrophoresis using the Laemmli method in 17.5% of the separating PAAG gels, visualization and identification of the spectrum variants. Results. The common variants of the electrophoretic spectrum for all groups of buckwheat varieties and the heterogeneity of each of the studied groups of genotypes are revealed. By frequency of variants of electrophoretic spectrum between groups of varieties were detected statistically significant differences and reliable predominance of individual variants in green-flower morphotypes of buckwheat were established. Conclusions. Differences in frequency of occurrence of variants of electrophoretic spectrum in different morphotypes of buckwheat indicate the probable processes of preservation of individual adaptive alleles of genes of seed storage proteins, which occurred in populations when varieties under the pressure of breeding process.
