In Silico Homology Modeling To Predict Functional Properties of Cruciferin
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011Cruciferin is the major storage protein in Brassicaceae family oilseeds. The predominant cruciferin isoforms in Arabidopsis thaliana were investigated using homology modeling (HM) for their molecular structures and functional properties. The structure of Brassica napus procruciferin was used as the template for HM to determine the molecular ...

E3 SUMO ligase AtSIZ1 regulates the cruciferin content of Arabidopsis seeds
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2019Arabidopsis thaliana E3 SUMO ligase SIZ1 (AtSIZ1) controls vegetative growth and development, including responses to nutrient deficiency and environmental stresses. Here, we analyzed the effect of AtSIZ1 and its E3 SUMO ligase activity on the amount of seed proteins.

Molecular analysis of a cruciferin storage protein gene family of Brassica napus
Plant Molecular Biology, 1992We have isolated a five-member gene subfamily which encodes cruciferin, a legumin-like 12S storage protein of Brassica napus L., and have analyzed the structure and expression of the family members in developing embryos. Sequence analysis has shown that the coding regions of all five genes are highly similar, with the two most divergent members of the ...

Preliminary Crystallographic Analysis of a Cruciferin Protein from Seeds of Moringa oleifera
The Protein Journal, 2014A 55 kDa cruciferin protein has been purified and characterized from seeds of Moringa oleifera plant. Protein blast of N-terminal amino-acid sequence showed 60 % sequence similarity with cruciferin from Brassica napus. The M. oleifera protein has been crystallized applying the sitting drop method using 5 % polyethylene glycol 8,000, 38.5 % 3-methyl-1,5-

Curcumin is a polyphenol that exhibits several biological activities, but its low aqueous solubility results in low bioavailability. To improve curcumin bioavailability, this study has focused on developing a polyelectrolyte complexation method to form layer-by-layer assembled nanoparticles, for curcumin delivery, with positively charged chitosan (CS ...

In Finland and France atopic children commonly react to seeds of oilseed rape and turnip rape in skin prick tests (SPT) and open food challenges. These seeds are not as such in dietary use and therefore the routes of sensitization are unknown. Possible allergens were extracted from commercial cold-pressed and refined rapeseed oils and identified by gel-

Isolation and functional characterization of the Brassica napus cruciferin gene cru4 promoter
Journal of the Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistry, 2014The 12S globulin protein cruciferin is main seed storage protein in Brassica napus. To gain a better understanding of the Bncru4 promoter function, we conducted the promoter 5′ deletion analysis in transgenic Arabidopsis. In the β-glucuronidase (GUS) expression assay, Bncru4 promoter was strongly active in transgenic seeds.

Rapeseeds contain cruciferin (11S globulin), napin (2S albumin), and oleosin (oil body protein) as major seed proteins. The effects of oil expression and drying conditions on the extraction of these proteins from rapeseed meal were examined. The conditions strongly affected the extraction of oleosin and only weakly affected the extraction of cruciferin
