Trafficking to the seed protein storage vacuole

Functional Plant Biology, 2018
The processing and subcellular trafficking of seed storage proteins is a critical area of physiological, agricultural and biotechnological research. Trafficking to the lytic vacuole has been extensively discussed in recent years, without substantial distinction from trafficking to the protein storage vacuole (PSV). However, despite some overlap between

Characterization of Buckwheat Seed Storage Proteins

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1996
The major storage protein of buckwheat seed is the 13S globulin. Separation of buckwheat seed proteins by sucrose density gradient revealed the existence of an additional new minor storage protein....

Coffee seeds contain 11S storage proteins

Physiologia Plantarum, 1999
A legumin‐like seed protein was purified from the endosperm of coffee (Coffea arabica L. cv. Colombia). In contrast to legumes, where efficient storage globulin extraction requires buffered saline solutions well above the acidic pKI of the globulins, coffee legumin is readily extracted with acidic aqueous buffers. The coffee legumin migrates like other

The Seed Storage Proteins of Quinoa

1997
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a member of the Chenopodiaceae, or goosefoot, family of dicotyledenous plants (Figure 1). Indigenous to the Andean region of South America, cultivated quinoa is grown primarily in the cool, semi-arid altiplano of Bolivia and Peru but is also adaptable to valleys and coastal foothills. Quinoa has been a staple food item in

Protein Bodies: Storage Vacuoles in Seeds

1997
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses protein storage vacuoles (PSV) in seeds. Seeds of many plant species store reserve proteins in protein storage vacuoles. The questions of the ontogeny of seed PSVs parallel the questions on the origin of the central vacuole in meristematic cells. The primary purpose of PSV formation is to sequester nitrogen in

Electrophoretic analysis of seed storage proteins from gymnosperms

ELECTROPHORESIS, 1994
AbstractSodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE), pore gradient gel electrophoresis (PGGE) followed by SDS‐PAGE and Western blot analysis were used to characterize the seed storage proteins from seven gymnosperm species from the families Pinaceae (Abies alba, Cedrus atlantica and Picea abies), Cupressaceae (Biota orientalis,

Cereal Seed Storage Proteins

2017
This chapter considers storage proteins for which storage is the main, and in most cases only, function. It defines storage proteins as those that are present in insoluble deposits, which exhibit tissue specificity and whose synthesis is regulated by availability of mineral nutrients, although the latter character has not been studied for all ...

Pathways for protein transport to seed storage vacuoles

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2005
Plant vacuoles have multiple functions: they can act both as digestive organelles and as receptacles for storage proteins. Different types of vacuoles can coexist in the same cell, which adds complexity to the process of targeting to these compartments.

Modification of plant seed storage proteins

1990
Abstract The seeds of most higher plants contain large quantities of reserve or storage proteins. Other chapters in this volume have described their biological role, the structures of both the proteins and their genes, and their regulation and biosynthesis.
