The G2 (A2B1a) glycinin subunit from soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) was purified and renatured to the homohexameric holoprotein. This protein along with purified beta-conglycinin were subjected to limited proteolysis by trypsin. The generated polypeptide fragments were separated via SDS/PAGE and the
beta-Conglycinin (7 S globulin) and glycinin (11 S globulin) are the major reserve proteins of soybean. They were localized by the protein A immunogold method in thin sections of Glycine max (soybean) cv. Maple Arrow. In cotyledons, both globulins were simultaneously present in all protein bodies.
The cotyledons of the soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill cv Amsoy 71) were examined for proteolytic activities capable of degrading soybean seed proteins. Three distinct activities were identified that attack the native Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor of Amsoy 71, Ti(a). Protease K1 cleaves Ti(a) to
The amino acid sequence of the A3 subunit, an acidic subunit of the glycinin seed storage protein of the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), has been determined by sequence analysis of the peptides obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage followed by enzymatic digestion and partial acid hydrolysis. The
Compared to β-conglycinin, glycinin contains 3-4 times the methionine and cysteine (sulfur-containing amino acids), accounting for approximately 40 and 30%, respectively, of the total storage protein in soybean. Increasing the soybean storage protein content while improving the ratio of glycinin to
Sensitive immunologic techniques for the detection of alterations that occur in protein antigens were used to evaluate the immunogenicity of soybean glycinin after isolation, heat denaturation and pH alteration. The objective was to determine the effect of these agents on the immunogenic ability of
There are two main classes of multi-subunit seed storage proteins, glycinin (11S) and β-conglycinin (7S), which account for approximately 70% of the total protein in a typical soybean seed. The subunits of these two protein classes are encoded by a number of genes. The genomic organization of these
Soybean glycinin (11S) and beta-conglycinin (7S) were subjected to select chemical treatments at various concentrations and resulting changes in protein structures were investigated by circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectrometry. Fluorescence quenching results indicated that urea >/=3 M
The glycinin gene family encoding the glycinin subunits in soybean plants is composed of at least five gene members. A genomic clone lambda S312 containing the Gy4 gene from a genomic library of cv. Forrest was isolated and partially characterized. The organization of this gene was found to be
Nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding soybean glycinin B4 polypeptide were compared in three soybean cultivars and two plant introductions of wild soybean Glycine soja. Only two nucleotide substitutions were found in three cultivars G. max, as compared with G. max and G. soja having nucleotide
Nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding soybean glycinin B4 polypeptide were compared for three soybean cultivars and two introductions of wild soybean, G. soja. For three G. max cultivars, only two nucleotide substitutions were found, while G. max and G. soja nucleotide sequences had four
The thermal denaturation behaviour of glycinin solutions has been studied in situ as a function of ionic strength using various spectroscopic methods. Changes in secondary structure occurred at temperatures above 60 degrees C, well before the onset of gelation. Even after heating to 95 degrees C,
Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase, catalyzes the conversion of Angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor Angiotensin II and plays an important physiological role in regulating blood pressure. Inhibitors of angiotensin 1-converting enzyme derived from food
BACKGROUND
Soybean is considered an important allergenic food, but published data on soybean allergens are controversial.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to identify relevant soybean allergens and correlate the IgE-binding pattern to clinical characteristics in European patients with confirmed soy
