Accumulation of rice prolamin–GFP fusion proteins induces ER-derived protein bodies in transgenic rice calli

Plant Cell Reports, 2012
KEY MESSAGE : We showed that rice prolamin polypeptides formed ER-derived PBs in transgenic rice calli, and that this heterologous transgene expression system is suitable for studying the mechanism of rice PB-I formation. Rice prolamins,

Pickering emulsions stabilized by prolamin-based proteins as innovative carriers of bioactive compounds

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science
Pickering emulsions (PEs) can be used as efficient carriers for encapsulation and controlled release of different bioactive compounds. Recent research has revealed the potential of prolamins in development of nanoparticle- and emulsion-based carriers which can improve the stability and bioavailability of bioactive compounds.

Compensatory rebalancing of rice prolamins by production of recombinant prolamin/bioactive peptide fusion proteins within ER-derived protein bodies

Plant Cell Reports, 2017
Bioactive peptide was produced by fusion to rice prolamins in transgenic rice seeds. Their accumulation levels were affected by their deposition sites and by compensatory rebalancing between prolamins within PB-Is. Peptide immunotherapy using analogue peptide ligands (APLs) is one of promising treatments against autoimmune diseases. Use of seed storage

Rice Prolamine Protein Body Biogenesis: A BiP-Mediated Process

Science, 1993
Rice prolamines are sequestered within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen even though they lack a lumenal retention signal. Immunochemical and biochemical data show that BiP, a protein that binds lumenal polypeptides, is localized on the surface of the aggregated prolamine protein bodies (PBs).

Properties of Heat-Treated Sorghum and Maize Meal and Their Prolamin Proteins

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2009
The digestibility of sorghum protein is reduced when wet cooked. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) together with other protein analytical techniques was applied to further elucidate the effects of cooking on the sorghum and maize and their prolamin proteins.

Molecular Organization and Topography of Prolamin Protein Films

2016
One of the promising nonfood applications of zein and wheat gluten (WG), two prolamin-based proteins, is in the packaging area. Advances in microscopy and imaging technologies allow the development of biodegradable prolamin protein-based films that are functionally tunable.

The Prolamin Proteins of Maize, Sorghum and Coix

1997
The prolamin proteins of maize and its close relatives, sorghum and Coix, share common structural features. These proteins are classified as α-, β-, γ- and δ-types, based on structural homology and solubility characteristics. Each of these proteins has a distinct spatial distribution within the protein bodies, which form as accretions within the lumen ...

Rice protein prolamin promotes anti-leukemia immunity and inhibits leukemia growth in vivo

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2018
Prolamin is a heat-stable storage protein of rice (Oryza sativa). This study aimed to examine the effect of prolamin on anti-tumor immune response in vitro and leukemia growth in vivo. The prolamin-enriched rice fractions were prepared to stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNC) from mice spleen.

Immunomodulatory activities of non-prolamin proteins in wheat germ and gluten

Journal of Cereal Science, 2017
Abstract Albumin (Alb), globulin (Glo), glutelin (Gll) and glutenin (Gln) were separately extracted from wheat germ and wheat gluten. Amino acisd composition, molecular weight distribution, solubility, in vitro digestibility, and immunomodulatory activities were all analyzed.

Making Kafirin, the Sorghum Prolamin, into a Viable Alternative Protein Source

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 2018
AbstractKafirin, the sorghum prolamin, is the most hydrophobic of the prolamins, and forms disulfide cross‐links because of its high cysteine content. It is noted for its slow digestibility but does not trigger any adverse response when consumed by celiacs.
