Expression of the 2S albumin from Bertholletia excelsa in Brassica napus
Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1990The methionine rich 2S albumin seed storage protein of Bertholletia excelsa has been expressed in seeds of Brassica napus (rapeseed). A chimeric gene driven by the soybean lectin 5' flanking regions was used to produce a fusion protein consisting of the soybean lectin signal peptide and the propeptide of the Brazil nut 2S albumin.
