The soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI, Kunitz type) was localized by immunofluorescence and, at the ultrastructural level, by the protein A gold method on thin sections of Glycine max (soybean) cv. Maple Arrow. SBTI was localized in cell walls, protein bodies, the cytoplasm between the
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
A 20-kDa protein (p20) with a GTP binding activity was purified from the cultured cells of Glycine max (soybean). The amino acid sequence of p20 showed 65% identity in a 23 amino acid overlap against the Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor of soybean reported. Furthermore, it was found that a Kunitz-type
Glycine max, known as the soybean or soya bean, is a species of legume native to East Asia. Soya beans contain many functional components including phenolic acids, flavonoids, isoflavonoids (quercetin, genistein, and daidzein), small proteins (Bowman-Birk inhibitor, soybean trypsin inhibitor)
Soybean inhibitor C-II, which inhibits trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, and elastase, was reduced and S-carboxymethylated, and digested with trypsin. The amino acid sequences of the resulting tryptic peptides were determined by conventional methods, establishing the complete 76-amino acid sequence of
SBTX, a novel toxin from soybean, was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by chromatographic steps DEAE-Cellulose, CM-Sepharose and Superdex 200 HR fast-protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). Lethality of SBTX to mice (LD(50) 5.6 mg/kg) was used as parameter in the purification steps.
The research was conducted with two different recently released Brazilian soybean cultivars (Rio Balsas and Bays) to evaluate whether there is any correlation between the different levels of antinutritional and/or toxic proteins in the cultivars and their nutritive value as sources of protein for
The levels of food allergens in worm-wounded or non-wounded green soybeans (edamame) and mature soybeans were investigated by immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using allergen-specific antibodies. Non-wounded and worm-wounded soybeans showed similar total protein profiles
Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography using sodium cholate as the micellar phase has been investigated for characterization of hapten-protein conjugates. Special focus has been placed on the hapten soyasaponin I which is a quantitatively dominating glycoside in seeds of several legumes
Protease K1 activity initiates the degradation of the Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor (KSTI) during germination and early seedling growth. This enzyme was purified nearly 1300-fold from the cotyledons of 4-day-old soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) seedlings. Protease K1 is a cysteine protease with
Specific antisera were prepared against the Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitor and four other trypsin inhibitors of low molecular weight isolated from soybeans (Glycine max L. cv. Tracy). These antisera were used to detect the presence and amount of the inhibitors in: (a) seeds and protein extracts of
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), which catalyses the folding of newly synthesized or denatured proteins through correct disulfide formation, was purified from soybean (Glycine max). The enzyme was purified 12,000-fold over crude extracts to apparent homogeneity in six purification steps: 60-70%
Proteases play an important role during mammalian fertilization. Their function is frequently investigated using specific inhibitors. We analyzed four serine protease inhibitors [4-(2-aminoethyl) benzene sulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride (AEBSF), soybean trypsin inhibitor from glycine max (STI),
Serine proteases are involved in mammalian fertilization. Inhibitors of serine proteases can be applied to investigate at which point these enzymes exert their action. We selected two serine protease inhibitors, 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride (AEBSF, 100 μM) and soybean
