A novel method for iodination of a hydrophobic protein: Rice prolamin

Biotechnology Techniques, 1989
A simple iodination method is described for rice prolamin, a hydrophobic alcohol soluble protein. A rapid and sensitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) is described to quantify prolamin. Maximum prolamin in rice is present between 10 to 14 days post-anthesis.

Amino Acid Variation in the 10 kDa Oryza Prolamin Seed Storage Protein

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2004
The deduced amino acid variability for the 10 kDa prolamin was determined for 16 Oryza species, both cultivated (rice) and wild. Prolamin, a seed storage protein and site of nitrogen and sulfur accumulation, is sequestered in the subaleurone layer of the starchy endosperm for use during seedling germination.

Farinin: Characterization of a Novel Wheat Endosperm Protein Belonging to the Prolamin Superfamily

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2013
Starch granule surface-associated proteins were separated by HPLC and identified by direct protein sequencing. Among the proteins identified was one that consisted of two polypeptide chains of 11 and 19 kDa linked by disulfide bonds. Sequencing of tryptic peptides from each of the polypeptides revealed similarities between some of the peptides and ...

Relationships between different prolamin proteins and some quality properties in durum wheat

Plant Breeding, 1995
AbstractThe objective of this paper was to study the differences between some prolamin variants coded at the loci Glu‐3/Gli‐1, Glu‐1 and Gli‐A2 and their relative roles in durum‐wheat quality. F3 lines from four durum wheat crosses (‘Abadia’בMexicali’. ‘Oscar’בArdente’, ‘Oscar × Mexicali’ and ‘Alaga’בC.

The Prolamin Storage Proteins of Wheat and Its Relatives

1997
The prolamins of wheat, barley, and rye have been studied extensively for many decades. Nevertheless, the recent developments of genetic engineering and gene transfer technologies have significantly enhanced our understanding of their structure, evolution, regulation of expression, assembly, and deposition in protein bodies, as well as their role in ...

Cellulose Nanowhiskers and Fiber Alignment Greatly Improve Mechanical Properties of Electrospun Prolamin Protein Fibers

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2014
Electrospun fibers from natural polymers must possess appropriate mechanical properties if they are to be functional in numerous applications. In this research, two convenient physical approaches were applied to reinforce the assembled hordein/zein electrospun nanofabrics: incorporation of surface-modified cellulose nanowhiskers (SCN) and fiber ...

Developing prolamine protein bodies are associated with the cortical cytoskeleton in rice endosperm cells

Planta, 2000
The mRNAs that encode the prolamine storage proteins in rice (Oryza sativa L.) endosperm cells are enriched on the surface of the prolamine protein bodies (PBs), a subcellular structure consisting of a prolamine intracisternal granule surrounded by rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Previous biochemical studies (D.G.

Isolation and identification of cytoskeleton-associated prolamine mRNA binding proteins from developing rice seeds

Planta, 2010
The messenger RNA of the rice seed storage protein prolamine is targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes surrounding prolamine protein bodies via a mechanism, which is dependent upon both RNA sorting signals and the actin cytoskeleton. In this study we have used an RNA bait corresponding to the previously characterized 5'CDS prolamine cis ...

Analysis of Migrated Hydrogel Used for Breast Augmentation Revealed Prolamin (a Cereal Seed Storage Protein)

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2011
We report on a case of leakage and migration to the upper abdomen of an unknown injected material that was used for breast augmentation. It was revealed to be prolamin by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis and pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (PY-GC/MS).A 35-year-old woman who had undergone mammary augmentation by transaxillary ...

[Adaptive types of prolamins--specialized proteins from cereal seeds (Poaceae Banrh.)].

Izvestiia Akademii nauk. Seriia biologicheskaia, 2000
Amino acid composition of prolamins and the whole seed in representatives of 52 cereal genera and 22 tribes, as well as amino acid composition of seed protein fractions in representatives of 9 cereal genera are presented. In terms of proposed directed evolution of the seed proteins and adaptive role of prolamins in evolution and distribution of cereals,
