Chromatographic separation of soluble proteins from rice (Oryza sativa L.) yielded a major albumin protein (16 kDa), with the DHHQVYSPGEQ sequence in the N terminus, showing antioxidant action. The rice albumin was more potent than other rice proteins in preventing Cu2+-induced low-density
The suppressive effect of rice albumin (RA) of 16 kDa on elevation of blood glucose level after oral loading of starch or glucose and its possible mechanism were examined. RA suppressed the increase in blood glucose levels in both the oral starch tolerance test and the oral glucose tolerance test.
Residual DNA in recombinant protein pharmaceuticals can potentially cause safety issues in clinical applications; thus, maximum residual limit has been established by drug safety authorities. Assays for residual DNA in Escherichia coli, yeast, and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell expression systems
Objective: To investigate the potential allergenicity of oryza sativa recombinant human serum albumin(OsrHSA)in BALB/c mice.
Methods: Eighty BALB/c mice were randomly divided
Human serum albumin (HSA) is extensively used in clinics to treat a variety of diseases, such as hypoproteinemia, hemorrhagic shock, serious burn injuries, cirrhotic ascites and fetal erythroblastosis. To address supply shortages and high safety risks from limited human donors, we recently developed
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a versatile and important protein for the pharmaceutical industry (Fanali et al., Mol. Aspects Med. 33(3) (2012) 209-290). Due to the potential transmission of pathogens from plasma sourced albumin, numerous expression systems have been developed to produce recombinant
Rice albumin from Oryza sativa (Var. Basmati 370) accounts for about 5% of the total seed proteins. A major fraction of rice albumin has been found to be a glycoprotein which is a monomer of 60 kd having iso-electric point 6.54. When rice albumin is digested with trypsin, it shows the presence of 24
We have previously identified extensive glycation, bound fatty acids and increased quantities of protein aggregates in commercially available recombinant HSA (rHSA) expressed in Oryza sativa (Asian rice) (OsrHSA) when compared to rHSA from other expression systems. We propose these differences may
Previous studies have demonstrated that liposome-protein interactions can result in changes to the thermal stability of the protein. We utilized far-UV circular dichroism spectropolarimetry and fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate the interaction of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
Rice seed storage protein (SSP) is an important source of nutrition and energy. Understanding the genetic basis of SSP content and mining favorable alleles that control it will be helpful for breeding new improved cultivars. An association analysis for SSP content was performed to identify
The use of different expression systems to produce the same recombinant human protein can result in expression-dependent chemical modifications (CMs) leading to variability of structure, stability and immunogenicity. Of particular interest are recombinant human proteins expressed in plant-based
Human serum albumin (HSA) is widely used in clinical and cell culture applications. Conventional production of HSA from human blood is limited by the availability of blood donation and the high risk of viral transmission from donors. Here, we report the production of Oryza sativa recombinant HSA
OsRAA1, as previously reported, is a novel conserved protein in plants and plays an important role in rice root development. Overexpression of OsRAA1 results in reduced growth of primary roots and an increased number of adventitious roots. The biochemical functions and expression patterns of OsRAA1,
Variation in growth, grain size and grain storage protein content of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in response to elevated UV-B radiation under sunlight was examined in a cool rice-growing region of Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, in 1999, 2001 and 2002. Tiller number, dry mass, panicle number, grain yield and
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are well-known proteolytic enzymes in animal systems and play roles in tissue differentiation, growth, and defence. Although a few plant MMPs have been reported, their exact functions in development and growth remain elusive. In this study, we characterized the
